Do you want to explore allowing others into your personal space? Are you interested in sharing energy with another person? Have you ever wanted to experience emotional or physical intimacy without the pressure of romance or sex? Are you demisexual and a bond is needed before sexual activity is even possible? Do you enjoy the softer side of kink? Then this is the event that you’ve been looking for!
Intimacy provides the opportunity to bond with others and platonic touch-based intimacy is an underserved need for many people. The CSPC wants to facilitate a sexually non-escalatory environment for our community.
The first part of Sense & Sensuality called “Lights On” will restrict any sexual intentions, including nudity, on both floors of Gallery Erato. Come meet new people, enjoy icebreaker intimacy games and engaging conversations. Join our cuddle workshop, the communal cuddle puddle, or negotiate one-on-one cuddles.
At 9:00 p.m. the downstairs space of the Gallery will transition into “Lights Off”. In this environment, you can expand your intimacy to include light impact play, nudity, sensual and sexual intentions.
The “Circle” is a one-time requirement for all attendees as we will be going over event rules and guidelines. Once you've completed this, at future events you may arrive any time while the doors remain open.
Government ID and masks are required for entry.
