The face is intimate. Expressive. Close.
It holds breath, emotion, and attention—and sometimes, exactly the kind of closeness you want to linger in.
At Close Range is a 3-hour kink workshop devoted to the subtle and powerful edges of facial and mouth play. This playful, consent-forward lab invites pairs to explore closeness, control, and psychological intensity through intentional touch, restraint, and sensation centered on the face.
Guided by Caritia, participants will explore how the face can become a site of connection, vulnerability, and power exchange—where a held gaze, guided movement, or covered mouth can carry meaning, tension, and depth. The workshop balances tenderness with intensity, offering tools to approach the edge with curiosity, clarity, and care.
This space centers presence, permission, and choice—inviting participants to engage deliberately, attentively, and together.
Skills & Techniques We’ll Explore
Negotiating facial boundaries and limits
Intentional face holding, guiding, and framing
Mouth control and restriction (hands, positioning, proximity)
Sensation and breath awareness around the mouth
Using eye contact, face slapping, pressure points, stillness, and proximity for psychological intensity
Reading subtle cues and responding in real time
Care and harm-reduction principles for face- and mouth-centred play
Come curious.
Come close.
And decide together whether the face is really off-limits after all.

More Information
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.
Friends describe people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone's self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people's chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender-straight privileges.
Friends don't have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
