10pm – 11pm: sex party etiquette and practices of consent
to start the party off we’ll share guidelines for sex party etiquette and building consensual, safer spaces to explore kink. we acknowledge that consent is an on-going process and that all these things are good things to (re)learn: how to negotiate, ask permission, say no thanks, flirt, strengthen our boundaries, do the right thing, share safewords, articulate our turn-ons and turn-offs, check our privileges.
11pm – 3am: play party!
bring your diy toys and dollar store pervertibles, come with your co-conspirators and sexy collaborators, or just with your friend(s)! safer sex supplies will be provided (but feel free to bring your own too). there will be bdsm mentors offering their services for temperature play, rope bondage, fisting and impact play. more info on this at the party!
accessibility: the space is a ground floor, single-level studio with one step to the bathroom.
to support safer, consensual exchanges this is a sober space. there will be a chill-out space for non-sexual exchanges. letter writing for prisoners through the toronto anarchist black cross can happen in this space too.
