Question 1

Is it like a sex party or play party?

Accepted Answer

No, it is a practice-based study group where we learn together how to have more pleasure and play in our lives. It won‘t be like a sex party unless one day we decide to study the pleasure of sex parties and re-enact one!

Question 2

Will people be naked?

Accepted Answer

Nudity or partial nudity are welcome in the space as valid ways of being in ourselves and our pleasure. Nudity doesn‘t mean it‘s sexualised or objectified. Nudity in public spaces can been associated with harm in our minds. If you are concerned about harm, we have a harm response protocol in place.

Question 3

How much touch will happen between participants?

Accepted Answer

It is a touch-possible space, so consensual touch between participants is welcome, but not expected. You are encouraged to be slow in deciding what you want or don‘t want to do. Your „no“ is always welcome and celebrated. There will be limits around when genital touch is and isn’t appropriate.

Question 4

What is not appropriate in the space?

Accepted Answer

People are messy and imperfect and we try to hold space for that. However, expressions of racism, transphobia, queerphobia, homophobia, biphobia, classism, ableism, ageism and other antisocial disruptions of the group will be addressed with right-sized consequences.

Question 5

Is this group just for dykes?

Accepted Answer

No! This group is open to all genders and persuasions. Our lens on pleasure is unapologetically decolonial, queer and disability-justice-informed. If you honor that, you are welcome.

Question 6

What age groups is this for?

Accepted Answer

18+. Besides that restriction, we are against ageism. Against age-based oppression that would label all young people impulsive, immature, inexperienced or too-young-to-know, and older people as un-sexy, conservative, or undeserving of pleasure & sexuality. We believe in cross-generational kinship

Question 7

What COVID precautions do you have in place?

Accepted Answer

All participants are asked to not attend the event if they (or someone they share proximity with) has symptoms of contagious illness. Masking is always welcome and loved. Upon request: required negative LFT for entry.
