Educational Programs and the Citadel Calendar of Events
The SFCitadel understands that education of the public and the individual is an important part of growth and development to cultivate one's own skills.
Therefore we provide a number of classes in a variety of topics that are open to the public for a small fee. A list of some of our regular presenters is included below.
For a full listing of all our programs and classes, please check out the SF Citadel's Calendar.
As Purveyors of Perversion, Stefanos and Chey are well known for teaching classes that are entertaining (they've been called "better than a Vegas act") and packed with useful and applicable information. After being part of the Minnesota scene for several years, they moved to San Francisco in September of 2005 and hosted their first event before they unpacked their boxes (December 2005). In 2010, Stefanos was honored to be named "Mr. SF Citadel" and was 1st runner up in the Mr. SF Leather contest. Together they created the Case Scenarios Dungeon Monitor training for the SF Citadel, which has been the Citadel's official DM training since 2008. Both Stefanos and Chey primarily identify as Dominants, but both have switched during their combined 15+ years in the scene. They identify as evangelical polyamorist play sluts who have been known to moonlight as fluffy service tops.
