Jon, also known as HiThereCatsuit, has been hosting Authentically Kinky since October 2020, with over 350 episodes. The idea for the podcast came after Jon’s popular FetLife column on unsolicited pics sparked a conversation with NookieNotes of Dating Kinky. With 35+ years in broadcasting, Jon has won seven Emmy Awards, appeared on national and local networks, and even given a TEDx talk on Kindness. Their passion for storytelling and amplifying diverse voices has made the show a staple in the kink community. In the scene, HiThereCatsuit is a bottom known for their signature spandex suits (hence the name!) and their notebooks, which help people celebrate small victories. They travel the country almost every weekend, teaching at major events like the Athens Femdom Gala, Fetish Con, Domcon, Dark Odyssey WInter Fire, Naughty Noel, Kinky Kollege, and more, sharing their experiences and fostering deeper conversations about authenticity in kink.
What if you could make your scenes more fluid, organic, and deeply connected—just by saying yes, and? Improv isn’t just for comedy—it’s a mindset that can transform your kink dynamics. This interactive, laughter-filled workshop will show you how embracing spontaneity, collaboration, and trust can elevate your scenes. By accepting the gifts your partner presents and building on them, you create richer, more authentic experiences—without forcing a predetermined script. Every scene is a story, and improvisation helps you tell it in the most natural way. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll explore how to enhance communication, read your partner, and navigate power dynamics with greater awareness. Whether you’re a top, bottom, or switch, these skills will help you become more present, adaptable, and in tune with your play.
How do you know when love exists and when it doesn’t? When is it okay to call something love? Simply Love redefines relationships in a way that creates the ability to open up love to more and more people. Love is a scary word, but when taken inside this concept, it does not have to be. For those who believe in a finite amount of love, this class is an eye opener. For those who believe in infinite love, this class brings order to the chaos of complicated relationships. You will learn new terms such as “my Non-Negotiable,” “my cuddle buddy” and so many more that work better than friends with benefits.
Join Jon aka HiThereCatsuit for a deep dive into the power of kindness in kink and beyond as they present “Being Authentically Kinky”, which includes the concepts of their Kindness and other Kinks class and dives deeper into how we can all feel like our unapologetic authentic selves. Jon explores shifting power dynamics, bringing warmth into intense scenes, and transforming pain into joy. Experience the impact of kindness in dominance and submission. We re-examine and redefine the impact of labels, roles. And Jon will share stories from their kink life including the magic of the “notebook” scene—designed to welcome and uplift. Plus, every attendee will receive one of Jon’s cherished notebooks, a small gift with a big impact.
