The Happy Kitten Portal is a hidden lifestyle gem located in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

Whether you’re a BDSM novice or have been in the lifestyle for years, a visit to The Happy Kitten Portal in New Orleans is a must-do when you’re in town.

I’m always surprised when locals don’t know The Portal exists–especially those in the kink scene. With nearly floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking classic New Orleans architecture and in the heart of the French Quarter, you’d think it would be hard to miss!

But that just goes to show you how discrete this dungeon truly is. You’d never guess what delights are inside by standing outside the building. It’s like New Orleans’ best-kept kinky secret.

When visitors ask if I know of any AirBnBs with a sex room or rentable dungeon spaces in New Orleans, I point them to The Portal.

A BDSM Dungeon for Both New & Experienced Sexplorers

If you’ve never visited a BDSM dungeon before, I highly recommend scheduling a private tour of The Portal. You can do so on my private classes page and enjoy one-and-a-half hours of guided, playful exploration of The Portal and its many toys.

What will you see inside? Here’s a sneak peek of what The Portal contains:

Spanking Bench

Every gorgeous piece of furniture in The Portal is built with durable, high-grade materials. The spanking bench is no exception.

Kneel on the two lower portions of the bench and lay your torso along the top to receive loving smacks from your partner’s hand or one of The Portal’s many available paddles.

Bondage Table & Cage

Strap or tie your partner down to The Portal’s combination bondage table and cage. Made of heavy materials to withstand any resistance, you can tease your captive to your heart’s content.

The Portal also has a wide selection of leather cuffs and ropes that can be used for your play. All surfaces and materials are deep-cleaned with medical-grade supplies between visits.

St. Andrew’s Cross

Prefer to take your teasing standing up? Have your wrists and ankles attached to The Portal’s beautiful St. Andrew’s cross.

The cross is perfect for enjoying flogging and sensation play. It also makes for fantastic private photo shoots.

Aftercare Apartment

The aftercare apartment is what makes The Portal such a truly stand-out BDSM dungeon in New Orleans. Attached to The Portal is a cozy bedroom and bathroom for winding down after your session.

The bedroom makes it possible to book a comfortable overnight stay in The Portal. If you’re an experienced lifestyle practitioner, skip the tour and spend a night in the dungeon–you won’t regret it!

Clothing-Optional Pool

Yet another unique feature of The Portal is its location within The Prive. The Prive is a private community for open-minded couples, throuples, and other committed groups of people.

The Prive’s heated pool and cabana bar are an absolute delight no matter the time of day. Request pool access by booking directly with The Portal.

Dungeon Rental in New Orleans

If you already know how to make the most of dungeon space, you can book 4hr or overnight stays at their website. You can even add toys and devices to your stay, or reserve a rope suspension session with The Portal’s esteemed resident rigger.

If you’re new to BDSM, a little guidance can go a long way. As a certified sex coach and educator, I’ve introduced many couples to kink, BDSM, and incorporating power exchange into their sexual play.

You can book a private class with me to tour The Portal if you and your partner(s) are new to BDSM. I’ll customize the class completely to your interests and comfort level, focusing exclusively on your curiosities and boundaries. Consent is key–even and especially in dungeons!

See you at The Portal. 😉
