At "Folsom: Descent Into Desire" your journey begins in the artful ties and intricate knots of Shibari with our stunning live rope bondage exhibit. We invite you to witness the raw, poetic interplay of trust and tension that lies at the heart of this centuries-old practice. Adjacent to this, embrace the playful spirit of the pet play pavilion, where our puppies will captivate you with their energetic charm embodying escapism, and sheer joy.

Move deeper into our venue and each room you enter becomes a step further into the world of kink. Each space, carefully curated, reveals a different facet of the spectrum of human sensuality. Every display is a testament to the different ways in which people experience and express their fetishes and kinks.

Your journey is your own. Take a step, take a pause, explore, and luxuriate in the exhibitions as you please. Traverse every room, or dwell in the ones that resonate with your own unique desires. The choice is yours. For those brave souls willing to venture into the deepest recesses of the venue, a dark, tantalizing reward awaits: The Dungeon. A realm reserved for the truly bold, this space showcases the edgier, more extreme facets of BDSM play. The Dungeon is not for the faint of heart, but for those who dare, it promises an unforgettable experience.

"Folsom: Descent Into Desire" celebrates the complexity and richness of human desire. We invite you to observe, learn, and perhaps awaken unexplored aspects of your own desires. Whether you're a seasoned participant or new to the scene, we welcome you to join us on this exploration of sensuality and self-expression.
