To our socially-distanced, sexy CSPC society,

We miss you and we care about you. We hope you are staying safe and sane. That’s why all in-person events are cancelled until the governor gives us the all clear. We are a phase 4 organization so it will most likely be 2021 before we can gather together once again. In the meantime, check out our virtual munches and meetings.

We welcome your ideas and inspiration. Please contact us with your programming ideas, offers to volunteer, and vision for the future of the CSPC. Our Programming Team has some clever ideas in development, so keep holding on and we will get back to you with more details as they become available. If you absolutely can’t wait, get your hiney over to the PT and help them out!

To our gracious kinksters,

As the COVID-19 situation escalates, we wholeheartedly support Governor Inslee’s expanded restriction on social gatherings. It is our duty to you, to the region, and to the global community that we slow the contagion as much as possible, safeguard our play partners, and lighten the load on our health care workers and hospitals. As such, CSPC’s April events will be cancelled. This includes parties, the new volunteer munch, and volunteer training. The April board meeting is on and will be held virtually on 4/8 at 7pm. Logistics are still being worked out; we’ll let you know.

It is only fair that memberships be put on hold during this time as well. We will restart the clock on memberships when we are able to resume gatherings.

Although we see this as the only correct course of action, it is admittedly further financial strain on the organization. In order to offset lost membership fees, rent, and insurance, our interim Operations Manager has requested that she be temporarily suspended and we are following her recommendation. She asks that if you are able, consider a similar gesture by offering back your would-be membership fees by donating here.

On the brighter side, we have been lining up parties for CSPC’s inevitable post-apocalyptic reopening! These include:

  • Fresh Meet: Dedicated to building community and meeting other members

  • All In: Pansexual pangender play party with something for everyone

  • LaQueer: A party for queer folx and their friends, hosted by Seattle Queer Kink

  • F*cking Precious: An ageplay and petplay party with a time for innocence and a time for naughtiness

  • Myself!: Sex-friendly masturbation party for exhibitionists and voyeurs

So snuggle up with your most trusted COVID-bonded partners, and fantasize about all the fun that’s just around the corner.

To our beloved community,

At CSPC, the health and well-being of our community is our top priority. We understand the concern and uncertainty you may be experiencing surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19) and are committed to being proactive and flexible as new information comes in.

We have undergone much discussion the last few weeks. The WHO just declared COVID-19 a pandemic and the CDC has been recommending mitigations to slow the spread for some time. With the governor’s mandate about public gatherings, school closures, and recommendations to keep space between people, the CSPC feels that the right thing to do is to limit ourselves as a vector of disease.

Cancellations
In spirit of being responsible stewards, we have decided to cancel the Myself party on March 22nd. We are keeping a close eye on public safety recommendations and mandates and will consider April parties on a case-by-case basis as information develops. We will update you about other currently scheduled parties around the week of March 20th.

Refunds
If you buy tickets and the event is canceled, you'll receive a full refund automatically. We are more than willing to shoulder the financial burden in order to protect our members. If you would like to help us cover the cost of lost rent, insurance, and general expenses, consider donating. Help us be poised to resume events, parties, and programming for the sex positive community.

Social Workarounds

Many of you are understandably craving the social interaction that CSPC parties provide. Here are some quick tips to help you feel more sexy and engaged during your social distancing.

  • Video chat rendezvous: Organize a steamy group chat with friends.

  • Send nudes: Consensually share spicy pics and videos with each other, or post on FetLife or Reddit.

  • Share the love: Leave caring comments for those posting titillating content on any of the social media platforms.

And for more modest connection

  • Phone calls: Reach out to friends and family members that you haven’t spoken to in a while.

  • Tip well: If you do venture out for food, consider offering encouraging words and a generous tip. Service workers are being hit particularly hard.

  • Reframe the situation: Instead of focusing on what you’re missing, focus on the positive. You are part of the solution keeping the community safe. Relish the extra time to learn a new skill or start that project you’ve been putting off.

Stay safe, stay healthy, and we look forward to seeing you on the other side of this.
