House of O

Mr O

@mr_O is a creative sadist with a love of medical play, a penchant for violent grappling scenes, and a very cute bum. Having spent over two decades as a jiu jitsu competitor and instructor, he has found ways to apply his knowledge of body mechanics to kinky play and shares that in his teaching. Active in the Canadian BDSM scene since 2005, he regularly puts on workshops internationally as well as locally in the Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa areas on subjects including wrestling, grappling and medical play. With an engineering based background and scientific mind, he is known for continually inventing new devices and ways to hurt people “for science”. When he’s not being nice he can be a bit mean. And vice versa.

Mr O believes strongly that successful scenes start with careful negotiation, and so teaches workshops and private classes on negotiation and consent.

Ropeybunny

@Ropeybunny is a playful, energetic and experimental masochist who is an active contributor to the Ottawa and Montreal community.

Starting off with rope, she eventually discovered a love for medical play and all things scary. She often finds herself in painfully sadistic situations and is excited to share her passions with you.

Ropeybunny believes in fostering an atmosphere of open communication where bottoms can share their knowledge along side tops and enjoys teaching (and taking) classes that are co-taught.

She has been teaching locally and internationally since 2019 and performing since 2017.

toy

@toy is a masochistic cuck-servant with a penchant for dark rooms and terrifying people. She has been in and out of the BDSM and rope scene for over 15 years and has been educating internationally as well as in her local community of Ottawa/Montreal/Toronto for about 5. She is passionate about sharing her experience with other bottoms so they can safely explore some of the scarier and more intimate aspects of psychological and emotional play. As an educator, she firmly believes in classes that include both top and bottom perspectives, as it empowers both to create a safer and ultimately more fulfilling scene or dynamic.
