aNML Parties
FIRE & ICE Hotel TAKEOVER
​Let’s start with the name: aNML stands for A Non-Monogamous Lifestyle
​
— and yes, that’s intentionally broad. We believe non-monogamy isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether you identify as a swinger, polyamorous, open, monogamish, or you’re still exploring what ethical non-monogamy means for you, you're welcome here. aNML is a space that embraces the full spectrum of connection, curiosity, and consensual play.
​
Our mission is to build a vibrant, sex-positive community in Charleston where people in the lifestyle can connect, celebrate, and feel safe being themselves. Whether you're new and curious, seasoned and adventurous, or somewhere in between, we’re creating events that feel exciting, inclusive, and drama-free.

Shibari
One does not have to be an expert at knots in order to do effective rope bondage that both parties finds inescapable or sensual.
We'll demonstrate some basic techniques of rope bondage including single and double column, rope cuffs, and basic rope flow.
We will also discuss some of the more popular bondage positions people use‚ as well as safety and what you need to know and have to play safe with rope.
03
Sensation Play
Sensation play by itself isn’t necessarily kinky, but sensation play as a kink takes feel to
another level.
Sensation play stimulates all the bodies senses which builds arousal, connection and anticipation.
We will discuss and demonstrate simple ways to excite your partner through elimination senses in order to heighten others, basic household items (pervertables) to create arousal, and the mental aspect of sensation play.
04
Impact Play
Impact play comes in many different forms. We will discuss and demonstrate different forms from flogging, paddling, and spanking.
We will cover the ways to safely engage in various forms of impact play including areas of the body to target, risk awareness and ways to safely elevate play.
05
ELECTRIC PLAY
Electric Play uses controlled, low-current stimulation to create a range of sensations on the body — from light tingles to sharp pulses — for heightened arousal, teasing, or edge play.
Often done with tools like violet wands or TENS units, it’s all about finding that perfect spark between pleasure and intensity.
When practiced safely, it’s an electrifying way to explore power, control, and sensation with a twist of science-meets-seduction.
