Other Community Events to Enjoy!
The CSPC throws amazing parties and hosts many important discussions on various topics. But luckily, we live in a place where there are many more options to dive into sex- and body-positive culture. The list below is just a sampling of some great events coming up in the next month.
We include non-CSPC events in every issue. If you have an event suggestion or feedback from a past event you’ve attended, please email Marissa at newsletter@thecspc.org and it might make it into our next issue!
Editor’s note for all events*
As a reminder, these are non-CSPC events. We include them as a way to open your mind to other experiences, but we have no control over them, their content, or their missions. We encourage you to vet other organizations to see if they are places you would feel comfortable, and we appreciate feedback if we have listed an organization/event that does not appear to share CSPC values.
October 13
Stoup Brewing Capitol Hill | Board Gayme Night (free | in person)
A weekly meetup for the LGBTQIA+ community hosted by Seattle Gaymers.
October 16
Papaya Project | Sex Trivia ($12+ | in person)
This monthly event is the best way to learn about and celebrate pleasure, queerness, and the science of sex! We kick off the evening with a brief introduction, then dive right into sex trivia. All identities and backgrounds are welcome. Trivia questions cover a wide variety of sex and sexuality-related topics, so get ready to challenge yourself, learn something new, and have a good time. A portion of event tickets will be donated to the Gender Justice League.
October 16–19
Northwest Film Forum | Seattle Trans Underground Film Fest ($30+ | in person)
We have STUFF to show you! The first ever Seattle Trans Underground Film Fest is happening Thursday October 16th through Sunday the 19th, 2025. Full schedule, including more information on attending, ticketing, and screenings, will be announced in September. Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky to stay up to date, and hear what else is coming at the Northwest Film Forum!
October 16 – Nov 8
Acrobatic Conundrum | THREADS ($25+ | in person)
Conundrum invites you into a tangled world, by turns emotive and exhilarating. Rope papers the walls, rope becomes an animate object in the hands of a clown, rope elevates dance-storytelling into the air. THREADS is a circus opus featuring six performers and a musician, an exploration of connection, love, and endings — a story strung with grace and daring that will leave you inspired and curiously alive.
October 18
Lesbian Chronicles LIVE ($33+ | in person)
The Lesbian Chronicles podcast hosts Alli and Melisa were both married to men and came out later in life. They will share relatable stories, interview a sex therapist and other special guests to answer your questions, and keep us entertained all night! Whether you're in the middle of navigating your own sexuality journey or just want to be in community with other queer women, this event is for you. Let's laugh, cry, and celebrate together. In addition to the event on Saturday, we've created optional events on Friday if you'd like more chances to meet new people!
October 20 – November 11
Beacon Cinema | Forget Everything, Adore Me, and Adore My Flesh: The Cinema of Monika Treut ($15 | in person)
Ever since the release of her debut feature Seduction: The Cruel Woman in 1985, Hamburg-based filmmaker Monika Treut has devoted herself to depicting and documenting queer lives on screen, exploring the mysteries and ambiguities of gender, and transgressing repressive sexual mores and ideas. Fiercely controversial in her native Germany – where Die Zeit once proclaimed that “films like Monika Treut’s are destroying cinema” – Treut found much more acceptance for her work in the burgeoning queer film festival and independent film scenes in America, leading to several decades-long collaborations with queer icons such as trans poet Max Wolf Valerio and “post-porn modernist” Annie Sprinkle. Treut’s films stand as fearless explorations of sex and gender that trace the more taboo and less documented arcs of queer history of the late 20th century.
October 25
Pan Eros Foundation | "Oops!" Harm Reduction, Intimacy, and Learning in Kink ($35+ | in person)
Scenes are made and broken by how you adapt to the unexpected. Sometimes this means heading off or recovering from a major problem, but much more often it's small things. Nothing ever goes exactly the way you planned. External events happen, gear fails, ramifications occur. People make mistakes and are complicated. You can pre-think safety, own what happens, make course corrections, communicate, and choose to learn. These are things you can do before, during, and after play to decrease the risks of harm, and increase the benefits of error.
