Stockroom University Los Angeles Erotic Humiliation Class with Midori!

Stockroom University with Midori

Why do people get off on being embarrassed or humiliated? Is this a style of play you’ve struggled to understand? Do you want to understand how to do this well and avoid disasters? What are the potential psychological ramifications? What’s different for a one-time scene vs. playing with your life partner? Emphasizing emotional safety throughout, Midori will explore a wide range of play from light teasing and embarrassment to serious humiliation. What’s the difference between a healthy and constructive scene and one that is destructive and harmful? She will share with you a unique model she’s developed to better understand and create an experience that is hot for all the players involved.

Are you trying to better understand this difficult subject? Have you questioned yourself on your desires or ability to make another squirm? Or have you ever secretly wanted to be put on the spot or shown how really naughty you are? Then this class is for you!

From The Tonight Show With Jay Leno To Folsom Street Fair

Catherine Wheel on the set of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Can you spot our Bunny Hood too?

In June, almost 30 of our own Stockroom products were featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in a skit starring Janice Dickinson and comedian Mikey Day. In the scene, Dickinson is spinning Day on a “breaking wheel,” or Catherine wheel – a Medieval torture device still found in modern-day fetish dungeons – that was custom made by the art department of the Jay Leno Show. That same wheel is now property of The Stockroom, and with some special customizations by us for additional strength and wear, it will be at our booth at the Folsom Street Fair this Sunday!

Don’t just come see us at Folsom – let us tie you up and spin you around, too! Put yourself at our mercy… we bring new meaning to the phrase “as seen on TV!”

We have a great location, right in front of the Powerhouse bar on Folsom and Dore Alley and many special surprises for the Fair this year.

Our booth is located on Folsom Street between Tenth Street and Dore Alley, directly in front of Powerhouse, and next door to TitanMen.com. We’re also thrilled to announce that premier creator of all-male erotica, Titan Media, has partnered with Stockroom for this year’s Folsom fetish film, and we’re honored that they named it Stockroom. (You can read more about the film, and about Titan and Stockroom’s plans for Folsom here.)

You can view a full map of the fair, including all booth locations here. In addition to a plethora of our perverse products, our booth will feature live demos, special appearances, and other surprises. Don’t miss the excitement!
