The people behind

Papa Bear Exploration

John H.

John’s journey into the alternative scene began over 20 years ago, when a friend invited Him to an “awesome event” that she attended the previous weekend. Intrigued by her excitement for the event, John made plans to attend… which happened to be the first FLOG event He would ever have experienced. John quickly fell in love with the Lifestyle, and couldn’t wait to see and experience all that Kink had to offer.

Fueled by His love of the Kink Community, He became a member of several large St. Louis BDSM groups throughout the last 20+ years. John spent those years volunteering, organizing and assisting these groups and their events to make them even better for His fellow Community members. One of His greatest passions has been running the FLOG events for the past 6 years. While His time as a volunteer may have been invaluable to the Community, specializing in building equipment for local events has been John’s true gift.

Through Papa Bear Exploration, John looks forward to fulfilling his ultimate passion by continuing to be of Service to the St. Louis and surrounding Kink Communities… by creating educational, experiential and stimulating events for the new and seasoned Kink Community goers alike.

Kim H.

Kim was introduced into the Lifestyle through John after he had been in the Community for a few years. As their personal relationship began to grow, John started to share his love for BDSM. Quickly Kim became just as excited to explore her new found kinky self. Together Kim and John went to as many events as they could pack into their schedule from frequenting FLOG to meeting new Community members at munches in St. Louis and across the river.

For 18 years Kim has been beside John volunteering and providing for the Community at local Events, big and small, with a dedication and desire to share this taboo Lifestyle with anyone who peaked an interest.

The amount of love Kim has poured into the Community can be seen in each of the Lifestyle members who have experienced an event with her present. She is very proud to say she acts as Johns tail, following Johns lead. Throughout her 18 years of Service, Kim has gained an insurmountable amount of experience on how to run events from top to bottom, has been hands on building new equipment for events, and knows what it takes to make an event unforgettable.
