With three decades of commitment to non-monogamy, pragma has woven a tapestry of diverse experiences and relationships throughout his adult life. In his youth, he grappled with cheating, his own and that of his partners, an experience that ultimately shaped his commitment to more honest, open relationships. His longest-standing relationship, a testament to mutual dedication and understanding, celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Unwilling to forfeit the thrill and vitality of casual encounters, he ventured into a polyamorous lifestyle long before even the publication of The Ethical Slut, and when it was published it was a revelation. As a kinkster and lifelong learner, @pragma has read intensively on the history and artistry of D/s and leather culture and personally feels everything important in kink happens in the mind. Aside from his personal journeys, @pragma is also a seasoned presenter in his professional life, leveraging his rich experiences to share insights to groups numbering in the hundreds across various platforms. In these sessions at Kinky Caribbean, @pragma plans to offer a wealth of knowledge, drawn from decades navigating the intricacies of relationship and jealousy management, as well as the exploration of kink and especially 24/7 M/s relationships. His insights are grounded in reality, shaped by his own trials and triumphs, which adds a profound level of authenticity to his presentations. He hopes and trusts that the sessions will enrich his audience’s relationships, as well as his own as together we deepen our understanding and experiences of others in similar paths.

Never one to shy away from deep emotions or difficult conversations, Robyn is comfortable guiding clients into the depths where emotions are felt and real change can be co-created.

Presenter
Botanist has been involved in the rope community for a decade and focuses on technical skills as well as using rope as a vehicle for intimate scenes. A lifelong learner she approaches everything in life as a learning experience from intro level courses to advanced workshops. After learning skills to mimic all the fancy photos on the internet she hit a plateau that never seemed to end and the squirrels that run her ADHD brain got very angry and needed to know why - after much reflection and speaking with others the reason was simple - a lack of fundamentals. This sparked a second journey to relearn and rethink all of the hastily learned skills to better understand how rope is a narrative tool that can be used to tell expansive and deeply meaningful stories as well as be a fun expression of personality and play. She lives with her dog, Commander Riker, in central Ohio where she works and studies at a small university and doesn’t do nearly enough rope.
