An Evening of Forbidden Desires, Shadow, & Consent

 Friday, September 18, 2026
DSDU | Tulsa, Oklahoma

Doors Open: 7:00 PM
Opening Experience Begins: 8:00 PM

As the Fall Equinox invites us to embrace both light and shadow, Taste of Taboo is an evening dedicated to exploring the desires, curiosities, and conversations we've been taught to keep hidden.

Some of our deepest curiosities have lived in the shadows, waiting for a space where they can be explored with honesty, intention, and care. Through education, performance, and intentional play, we invite you to discover what becomes possible when curiosity is met with consent, authentic connection, and the freedom to explore without fear of judgment.

Whether you're brand new to kink or have been part of the lifestyle for years, this evening is designed to spark conversation, expand perspectives, and remind us that exploration is most meaningful when it is grounded in trust, communication, and choice.

• Opening education exploring the psychology of taboo, shame, and desire
• Immersive performances
• Live demonstrations and opportunities to learn
• Open dungeon play in a vetted, consent-led environment
• Community connection with curious, like-minded humans

The Fall Equinox reminds us that light and darkness exist in balance. It is a season of harvest, reflection, and letting go of the stories that no longer serve us.

This evening is an invitation to meet yourself with that same balance...to approach your curiosities with openness, your desires with honesty, and others with respect.

• You've been curious about BDSM, kink, or power exchange but aren't sure where to begin.

• You've wondered if your fantasies make you "too much."

• You value education as much as exploration.

• You believe consent creates freedom.

• You're looking for a welcoming, trauma-informed, sex-positive community.

At Lion's Den Pride, we believe curiosity deserves a safe place to land.

Every experience we create is rooted in enthusiastic consent, personal responsibility, inclusivity, and community care. We don't encourage people to ignore their boundaries...we encourage them to discover them. We don't believe shame has to be the starting place for conversations about desire. We believe education, communication, and compassion create spaces where exploration can happen with confidence and integrity.

Some doors don't open with a key.

They open with curiosity.

Come take a Taste of Taboo.
