PrePink: Keeping Play Parties Playful

Gravity — Tue, 15 May 2012 21:47:38 +0000

Friday, June 8th, 2011 – 9pm to 10:15pm

Another fabulous pre-Pink play-shop coming your way!

Every Pink party launches with a playshop free for party goers. This month we learn a little more about play parties!

Keeping Play Parties Playful!!

Play parties are supposed to be about play, right? But it’s hard to feel playful when intense negotiation, underlying fear, overwhelming awkwardness, or just plain not knowing what to do come to the forefront. When you’re a newbie to the scene, it can be hard to know what to expect, or how to act. Even when you’ve been “out and about” a good bit, each play party has its own culture to be learned. Knowing how to negotiate a play party with grace and ease will keep you from getting caught with your pants down — or up!

Fortunately, there are some quick and easy ways to get your bearings and get your “adult” groove on. In this lighthearted playshop, we’ll get into:

the basic do’s and don’t's of play parties
and what to do when you don’t know what to do!
some easy ways to dip your toes in without feeling overwhelmed
the basics of play party negotiation — with your partner and new friends
and a fun and fabulous introduction to your next potential playmate

So bring a PAL and come to Pink early!

About the Presenter:
This playshop is led by Marcia Baczynski, creator of “Successful Non-Monogamy for Couples” and the co-creator of Cuddle Party. She is a long-time member of the Mission Control community, and a presenter at the Open-SF conference.

Free with Pink entry! RSVP by sending an email to info (at) missioncontrolsf.org

Her sex-positive workshops and one to one sessions assist people in liberating their true expression, discovering body-mind-spirit connection and obtaining sexual happiness in their lives.
