The Rabbi
Born to kink on International Sex Day, June 9th or 6/9 (nice), The Rabbi (he/him) is a cisgender, ambimorous, gynesexual, sadistic bratty daddy-dom. He has been called the "Prince of the Pervertables," "The Pied Piper of Brats," and "The Carrot Top of Kink." (That last one was a compliment, right?) He creates his unique toys with a sadistic flair that would make the prop master on Cutthroat Kitchen jealous, including ceiling fan paddles, Lego nipple clamps, and a mop head flogger. The Rabbi has electrified people with slinkys, broken all ten commandments (over someone's ass), and hit people with everything he can get his hands on, including a literal kitchen sink. By day, he is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Sex Therapist. By night he's a kink podcaster and educator who has, with his partner (and ADHD squirrel wrangler), LilPonyBites, taught 100+ classes on kink and related topics in-person and virtually for groups nationally and internationally, including Guild of Deviated Standards; Beyond Leather, SouthEast LeatherFest; Indiana Pet, Pup, and Trainer Contest; Planned Parenthood; Sexuality Training Institute; Wicked Grounds; Frolicon; DomCon; FetishCon; Star Trek II: The Wrath of Con and many more. The Rabbi received the 2022 Leather Leadership Conference New Leader Grant.
Director
Hope Lyvati
Hope Lythi Is the founder of KinkSchool. She dreams of spreading good education to others, especially in rural locations. She believes kink education should be available to everyone. Some things do need to be taught in person. However, you need to teach that you can use any method possible. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hope joined Tiktok and promptly found the kinky side of things. Kinktok was missing much-needed education. She started making Kink Education clips for TikTok and started teaching classes over Zoom. KinkSchool was born!
Before the pandemic, Hope took her experience from learning in Toronto (through Deviant Toronto, Second Circle, and Subspace Toronto) to start and host her local munch bringing kinksters from all walks of life, and levels of experience together in a safe environment.
​
She also taught the occasional in-person class at Deviant Unconference with a focus on mental health, intersectionality, and Fire Bottoming. These days she tends to work with other event hosts and teach them how to make their events safer and more inclusive. With COVID-19 Fire play has been on the back burner while mental health and event planning has been shining in the spotlight.
