The Woodshed of Orlando has been in business for 9 years. They are a staff and community of BDSM and related people that are very respectful, knowledgeable, helpful, provide free and paid educational group classes for the masses of all kinky or curious walks of life. It's a judgement free premiere play space aka 'dungeon', community center or club. There are actually 2 separate play spaces.
Alcohol and illegal drug use are strictly prohibited and safety comes before even fun, but there is absolutely no shortage of fun to be had (or simply watched). Members do not bother other members without consent, first. Nothing happens without consent! The whole place is 100% legal and proudly displays their city/county/state licenses in the front lobby. Did I happen to mention CONSENT is at the forefront of their rules? It absolutely is!
They are open on Fridays (singles, couples, etc - aka pansexual) and Saturdays (singles, couples, etc - aka pansexual) for play, although they do have other classes on Thursdays and Sundays and ovvasionally all week long. 'Dungeon' hours are from 8pm until as late as 4am.
People tend to come as new members for curiosity, exploration and fun, but they end up staying for years because it becomes a way of life with open minded and fun loving people that hold BDSM near and dear to their hearts.
If you are still reading this and you've never been here, you need to check out the free monthly BDSM 101 class they hold for interested non-members where they will lead a group discussion, answer any questions you might have, give the group a tour and do demos, should you so choose. Most choose to :)
My "girl" and I have been frequenting this place for 8.5 years and it just keeps getting better! It's a terrific place with tons of fun, with safety at the forefront of all ALL things. I call this place my home away from home and absolutely love it, the management and all the fun loving members! I can't recommend it...
   Read moreWe went a year ago and it was a great experience so naturally we were excited to go back this year. We forgot we could not use rope on the couches, once reminded by the DM we put that away. (No biggie) After this though, I felt we were watched more so than anyone else. It made me uncomfortable. However, we werenât watched by the DM that mentioned it. It was someone else entirely. Iâm not sure what their role was (owner/dm.) we went on to play some and we were watched majority of the time by the same person. When going to do wax we were going to use towels (not for play) but to cover my breast because I was not comfortable being exposed. The guy came over and stated wax would ruin his towels. We explained we were going to use it to cover me (we had done this last year with no issue because we were not using it for play.) They went on to say âwax gets everywhere itâll be in your bra anyways.â Very dismissive of my comfort level when this is supposed to be an accepting place.
As we were leaving I went to place my phone in my dress pocket (we did not have phones out the entire time, I was simply moving it) was told âBabe put that awayâ once again same man. For it to be a consent friendly place, I did not get that vibe. I had a random person calling me âpet namesâ and watching our every move. It was extremely uncomfortable and we ended up leaving. Before itâs said that anyone can watch, this is true. We felt watched as if we were doing something wrong and were being watched in an accusatory way not out of curiosity.
We will not go back to this location as I did feel uncomfortable. While this may not matter to the owners, Iâm hoping itâll be informative to others looking to go.
The rope class was 10/10. The instructors were great...
   Read moreThis place is ran and centered around children looking to do their preferred things in their designated corners. The owners and DMâs have allowed the animals to run the zoo and carve out their own comfort areas.
If you arenât a fan of the smell of feet and pitch darkness, donât expect comfort here, the people running it have zero clue how to establish a âsexy vibeâ and have zero intention of doing so⌠donât expect to bring a lady here and expect then to met with anything other than disgust.
as a couple who have visited many dungeons and play places, we didnât think the art of subtle lighting and a lamp would be lost on some⌠but guess so. Most dungeons are able to make things lit without being bright.
Expect âcomfortableâ safe spacerâs to be lounged on every piece of furniture with their feet out, making you uncertain anything is safe to touch or sit on.
This space has such promise but has been taken over by the safe spacers looking to carve their corners at the cost of any future involvement by anyone not already in that odd-ball circle.
Youâd think lack of memberships would speak volumesâŚ...
