The answer lives in this podcast
What workshops and events does Wicked Wanda's offer — and what do they cost?
Wicked Wanda's hosts workshops including Kink 101, Tantric Touch, Thai massage for couples, and a monthly support group for dominants and submissives led by a kink educator. Fees range from $15 to $100 depending on how elaborate the event is. The store also organizes sex-positive events outside its walls.
From $15 to $100: a sliding scale designed to keep education accessible
The pricing structure at Wicked Wanda's is deliberately wide. A drop-in community gathering costs as little as $15, while a more involved, production-heavy workshop tops out at $100. That range reflects a core part of the shop's identity: education should not be priced out of reach for the people who need it most.
This philosophy is entirely consistent with how Madeline Dorian describes her mission in Cliterally Obsessed — making high-quality products and knowledge more accessible, with pleasure treated as a core component of overall wellness rather than a luxury.
A monthly Dom/sub support group — and workshops that go well beyond retail
One of the most distinctive fixtures on the Wicked Wanda's calendar is the monthly support group for dominants and submissives, held at the beginning of each month and facilitated by a dedicated kink educator. It is not a one-off event but a recurring, structured space for community and peer support.
Alongside it, the workshop roster spans genuinely diverse territory: Kink 101 for those new to the subject, Tantric Touch for couples exploring intimacy differently, and Thai massage for couples as a hands-on, body-centred option. As Dorian details in this episode of Cliterally Obsessed, Wicked Wanda's also takes its programming beyond the store itself, hosting sex-positive events in external venues.
That reach beyond the shop floor is significant. It positions Wicked Wanda's less as a retail destination and more as an educational platform — one that happens to sell products, as Dorian explains throughout the full conversation.
"I started working in the store in an official capacity and I just fell in love. I fell in love with the customers, the conversations, and then the whole entrepreneurship side as well."
Madeline Dorian — Sex educator and entrepreneur, co-owner of Wicked Wanda's.
Dorian brings over 13 years of experience in the intimate wellness industry, with a background spanning retail, product development, manufacturing, wholesale, education, and event creation. She studied sexuality studies at Concordia University and has received hands-on training from leading brands. She consults with both curious individuals and healthcare professionals, and co-runs Wicked Wanda's alongside her mother, who originally opened the store. Dorian joined the business in an official capacity at age 19.
That founding love for conversation — not just commerce — is what makes the workshop program feel organic rather than bolted on. The events are an extension of the same impulse that drew Dorian into the industry in the first place, a point she returns to in Cliterally Obsessed.

What makes Wicked Wanda's different from other adult stores?
Wicked Wanda's is modeled after the feminist sex shop movement that emerged in the 1970s as a response to the lack of stores catering to women and queer communities. That founding philosophy still shapes how the store operates today.
What is the origin story of Wicked Wanda's pleasure shop?
Madeline's mother was originally a residential realtor who transitioned to commercial real estate before becoming fed up with the hustle culture of that industry — and chose to open a pleasure shop instead. The store became a family business when Dorian joined at 19.
How did Madeline Dorian get into the intimate wellness industry?
Madeline grew up around the adult toy industry because her mother opened a store when Madeline was about 13. At age 19, she began working in the store in an official capacity and quickly discovered a passion for both the community and the business itself.
