Introducing our first two presenters for The Frolic 2023!

DJ presenting: A Masochist's Guide to Healing Marks

DJ (she/they) is a white, queer, femme, genderfluid, polyamorous, and disabled survivor who lives in Seattle. As a service-oriented bottom, they identify as a little, masochist, experimentalist, and edge player who has been playing with pain, fear, and power for 13 years. From impact, to rope, to rough body play, to all things sharp and pointy, they like to connect with play partners who are both tender and sadistic while exploring the limits of their pain tolerance. With a broad risk profile and a willingness to try most things at least three times (for science!), they often approach play in a fun, curious, and connective way. Outside of the community, they have five years of experience designing, facilitating, and teaching workshops and classes. 

Evelyn Evey presenting: 1) Kinky Psych 101, 2) Hard to Swallow? - Willing Suspension of Disbelief, 3) Rape Play From the Bottom’s Perspective, 4) Avoiding Accidental Consent Injury, 5) Play Harder and Longer!

Evelyn Evey (she/they) is a happily kinky, switchy, sadomasochistic, polyamorous, queer, gender nonconforming experience junkie who lives in Seattle, Washington where she is actively involved with the Center for Sex Positive Culture (formerly served on the Board) and the local BDSM community. She was vice president of the board of directors for the Pan Eros Foundation (formerly known as the Foundation for Sex Positive Culture) and has had various roles with the Seattle Erotic Art Festival. A voracious learner, she has studied Ayurveda, psychology, and acting, all of which have provided her insight and tools for helping others on their own journeys toward finding balance and having fun with their kink.
