Kinky Masterclasses Amsterdam
The Kinky Masterclasses Amsterdam is an inclusive educational project founded and curated by Dante Woods, former Mr. Rubber Netherlands 2023. The series embraces a welcoming, safe space for curious and likeminded fetishists who seek to explore, learn, grow, and deepen their understanding of both kink and community. With a strong commitment to both sexual and social education, the Masterclasses cover a wide range of topics—from bondage, fisting, and impact play, to deeper conversations about mental health, the female perspective, loneliness, and diverse political viewpoints. Each session is led by experienced educators and voices from across our diverse global community, encouraging open dialogue and mutual learning.
Throughout his title year, Dante aimed to center conversations around consent and mental health both within and beyond the fetish community. His belief: there’s something to learn from every person and every perspective.
Leather & Fetish Pride 2025 marks the beginning of the third season with a special double feature:
The Positive Psychology of Pup Play
Taught by Pup Disco – New York City based author, licensed therapist and founder of PupTherapist.com and LGBTQ Joy. This session explores how pup play can be more than just fun: it can be healing. Grounded in positive psychology, learn how playful kink can nurture joy, deepen self-compassion, and reconnect you with your most authentic self. Whether you’re curious about pup play or already on the path, you’ll leave with practical tools to live more freely, be more present, and maximize your joy—both in and out of gear.
