PPMT 2.0 March Madness Mardi Gras: Farewell to the Flesh!

Beginning on Epiphany (aka Three Kings Day or Twelfth Night) and ending on Fat Tuesday (aka Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras Day) is the season known as Carnival. Mardi Gras, French for “Fat Tuesday,” is the celebrated method of indulgence and debauchery before the fasting of Lent. A “farewell to the flesh,” it’s the only time of year in Louisiana that it’s acceptable to feast on King Cake, a traditionally circular-shaped cinnamon pastry covered in frosting and colored sugar. Mardi Gras is the time when the colors of purple (for justice), green (for faith), and gold (for power) reign supreme and adorn every decoration on every door and balcony of the French Quarter.

We hope to have a King Cake! A King we will mash cake on as the peasants revolt smearing cake on the King! Farewell to the flesh, indeed!

A little party music to whet your whistle:

Beth Hart - Bad Woman Blues

Black Ties & Alibis - An "Intriguing" New Year’s Eve Gala!

The Mysterious Anonymous–Part Deux

I shivered slightly in the entryway of the Gallery as I waited to check in. Although I was wearing a shimmery, barely-there dress as Anonymous had instructed, I wasn't cold--just excited. The scene before me unfolded with as much mystery and throbbing desire as the weeks of teasing correspondence promised. I craned my neck to scan the room. Where was Anonymous? How would I even recognize them in this room of sexy bodies dressed to kill? 

Anonymous had been dropping clues as we texted, in between messages that made my nipples hard and my panties wet–growing up somewhere they learned to be good at keeping secrets… “camouflage,” they said. And something about quilts. But how would those details help me identify my secret admirer?

I fingered the five “microchips” I was given at check in, wondering how to spend them. A mocktail at the bar? A tarot reading to shed some light on the mysterious Anonymous? (other?)  I strolled through the Gallery, moving sinuously to the music that filled the space. There was a beautiful woman in black leather smiling wickedly down on a man kneeling at her feet over in the corner. Another woman was squirming against the cross as her Mistress brought a riding crop down across her juicy ass in perfect time with the music’s beat.

A bearded man in a tuxedo was sitting for a bootblack. Mmmmm…. Tuxedo and boots! Another sexy human in a trench coat and fedora winked at me before graciously accepting a mocktail from the bartender. Could this be Anonymous? I started moving toward the bar, but as they tangled their fingers in the hair of the person next to them and led them toward the dance floor, I realized I’d been mistaken.

“One microchip to have your cards read,’ the Tarot reader called to me. 

Why not? I thought, and handed her one of my chips. As she shuffled the deck of cards, she asked me to think of my question. 

“Actually, I said, I’m looking for someone in particular. Someone mysterious, who invited me to this party. Can the cards help me find them?”

She winked at me. Again, with the winking. “I think a lot of people are looking for your friend Anonymous. Seems to be a game they like to play. I can offer you a clue, if you’d like, for the price of another microchip. Oh, and your cards say that you will meet someone with a message for you, and that you’ll find what you are looking for, although it may take some time.”

Come help us unravel the secret of Anonymous and partake in the intriguing delights of Black Ties and Alibis on NYE!

It's Femme Dominion, Pervs!

By Mistress Katherine and Eirikah Delaunay

Let’s set the stage with a little Femme Dominion mood music….

The first-ever Femme Dominion party is just two weeks away--December 18! Tell me a little bit about the Party Champion team.

Femme Dominion’s intrepid Party Champions are Moneek, flame-haired, vertically-gifted Enchantress, Sonatina, who might actually be Selina Kyle, and myself, Mistress Katherine, an always mischievous, sometimes maternal, Muppet. Each of us are long- standing members of the CSPC with over a decade and a half of community involvement under our leather corsets. Inspired by the social restrictions of the pandemic, we all felt a renewed motivation to make sure that the type of party we most wanted to attend ended up on the CSPC calendar. Hence Femme Dominion was born!

I loved the Ladies' Sovereign Tea and Women On Top, and I'm excited to see Femme Dominion joining the lineup of in-person parties at the CSPC! Tell me about your inspiration for this party. What kind of atmosphere are you and your team creating?

Our event is heavily inspired by the Women on Top party and the Ladies’ Sovereign Tea. Both events were strong favorites for all our Party Champions and Sonatina was part of the WoT team. Back in the Interbay location days the Tea was one of the reasons I started The Chateau. Then as now, our desire was to create more opportunities for Femme identified people to explore power dynamics, with each other as well as appreciative others.

Who will enjoy this party?

If you enjoyed the vibes of those two previous Femme-focused parties you’ll probably enjoy our groove as well. But if you didn’t get the chance to check those events out, the appeal is a Femme-led space. So anyone who appreciates that energy being more represented among other attendees, whether or not Femme is a part of their own identity, will fit right in. But if you are a Top who is partially or entirely Femme-identified, OR someone who loves to bottom for that demographic, well then you’re in for a particular treat.

What kinds of activities will there be?

While the focus is more of a play party than a sex party, both activities are actively encouraged. From conversations I’ve been having with other pent up pervs, I suspect many scenes will be hot, intense, and often on the heavy sensation side. I know I’m looking forward to dusting off my whips and zappy toys. Conversely, lots of folks have been feeling a lack of touch and connection lately, both socially and sexually. As a result I think the event vibe will be pretty sensual and notably flirty.

Will there be flagging? Pickup play? Activities for folks attending single?

One of our not-so-secret agendas is to grow our community by helping folks get to know each other and by getting all the lovely pervs we know hooked up! To that end, we have our opening hour conversation salon and will supply name tags with pronoun stickers for those who want them. For the more adventurous, we’ll have wristband flagging for attendees to signal to other guests their openness to being asked to play as well as their preferred power position.

So much hotness! What excites you the most about creating and attending this party?

I think like a lot of folks right now, we’re all just so freakin’ excited to be able to gather again at all, let alone gather and get our kink on. As a solid voyeur, being in a space with a bunch of beautiful pervs all being their best sexy selves has been sorely missed. Also, I mentioned whips and electric toys right?

What advice would you offer someone who is thinking about attending the inaugural Femme Dominion?

I definitely suggest that people try to make it to the first hour of the event (7-8pm) for our conversation salon if they are new to the CSPC, generally socially anxious, or just out of practice attending play parties…which these days covers a lot of us. It can be a bit more challenging chatting up new people once play begins, so that first hour is meant to give folks a chance to introduce themselves and get comfy in the space.

Event Details?

Our first event is Saturday, December 18th. Doors open for the conversation-only part of our festivities at 7pm. The play start pistol goes off at 8pm, and things wrap up at midnight. There's a new member orientation immediately preceding the event at 6pm for folks who haven't yet completed this necessary step toward CSPC membership.Tickets are $25 and must be purchased online in advance--get them here! In order to reduce Covid risks, only 100 tickets will be sold, vaccination is required, and masks must stay on except for eating, drinking, or using your mouth in a scene. If we are as successful as we're gearing up to be, we'll be back again in February if you can't make it this month.

Any last thoughts to share with our readers?

Whether you knew it before, or whether you’ve come to realize it in the last year and a half, Community matters. Gathering amongst like-minded peeps is about social support as much as it's about hot kinky scenes. So if you’ve been desperately craving both, we’ve got you covered. Come make some new friends, reconnect with familiar faces, and revel in the unapologetic pervert you are--with us! 

Black Ties & Alibis NYE 2021

“You’ve got mail!”

My hand shook as I reached for my mouse. Only one contact is associated with that notification. I admit to being a bit of a romantic movie enthusiast.

“Anonymous has purchased you a guest ticket to the Black Ties & Alibis Gala at the Center for Sex Positive Culture on Friday, December 31st, 2021. Please arrive at 8:30 pm and await instructions from Anonymous.”

I felt the blood drain from my face as I suddenly felt a surge of blossoming heat elsewhere. Breathe. Okay, breathe deeper. What did I get myself into? Where is the website? There’s gotta be a website. There’s always a website, right? Ahhh...there it is!

https://thecspc.org

Let’s just click on... everything! Hmmm... no ominous pictures of dirty places and rusty shackles. No porn website ads. Pretty classy actually. Hmmm... I watch too many movies.

You have mail…mail…mail!

You have an encrypted message in chat! (from Anon)

Anon: Did you receive my gift?

Anon: Will you be able to clear your evening?

Anon: Wear something sexy... no underwear.

Me: Anonymous?

Anon: Yes?

Me: How will I recognize you?

Anon: I will be the one biting your neck.

Me: ...Ummm...

Anon: With your prior consent, of course.

Me: This whole year and I’ve never met you in person. I don’t even know what you do.

Anon: That’s because I’m classified.

Me: So do I call you Mr. Anonymous in person or Sir?

Anon: You are assuming my gender, that’s cute. Do you have a preference?

Me: I never thought about that. What do I call you then?

Anon: The Japanese have a saying: “Sore wa, hi mitsu desu.”

Anon: It simply means “That is a secret.” Being respectful is a core tenant of my house.

Me: Much to unpack there.

Anon: Let me reassure you that we shall spend a glorious evening together- Enjoying mock-tails or the divination of a real Tarot reader. There will be professional DJs, dancing, a live auction and even rides on a Sybian.

Me: Is that some kind of horse?

Anon: Well I suppose we should leave some mysteries to be solved at the gala!

Me: I saw that there is a spy game called “Codenames”- If your codename is Anonymous- Could someone else have the same name?

Anon: I guess there may be more than one Anonymous- But figuring out who is the real one is could win you an awesome prize, that prize being our date. >:)

Anon: We will toast the New Year and your mission- should you choose to accept it- is to scene with me. Our first scene ever in the New Year! Let the negotiations begin!

Me: Bring it on, Anonymous! I’ve got a pair of sparkly new 5“ inch heels to break in!

This chat has ended.

Tickets are $50. Get your tickets today! See the event listing for a complete description of all the enticing festivities included with the ticket price.

PPMT Reminiscing

,

By Turtle and Teeebone 

Teeebone and I are sitting here by Zoom reminiscing about the “Good ol’ days” like we all promise not to do when we are young. “I’ll never do that…sit around thinking about Remember When…I’ll be too busy living!” Well, guess what? We are doing both! Double the pleasure, double the fun, with… oooo! Sorry for the earworm!

The Good Ol’ Days circa 2012-2016 at the CSPC Interbay location, 3rd Saturdays at the PPMT (Power Play Mixed-Tape) party. In fact, I asked someone to volunteer at the upcoming party and they said they weren’t available on the 3rd Saturday. I said, “Great! Because it isn’t on the 3rd Saturday anymore! It’s a whole new world! Oops! Second earworm!”

I asked some of the previous Power Players what stuck out most to them. “Boobie dancing, Buffet Table, feeling surrounded by scenes everywhere, high energy, intense scenes, dancing in my underwear, dancing free, the feeling of comradeship on the Team, great music, boobie dancing, good friends, great conversations, warm Hosts, Fucktastic music, heavy players, possible blood scenes, amazing mix of laughter and screams, getting stuffed at TK’s Buffet, pogo dancing so hard I hit my head on the heater, everyone dressed up, everybody naked. You’re sexy and you know it!”

Teeebone - “That feel you get when you experience compersion while watching your former primary partner having their first DP scene some 12 feet away while you're being the DJ at PPMT. Everybody’s workin’ for the weekend!”

Turtle - “That feeling of being surrounded by friends even if you don’t know them! I miss that so much! We openly welcome everyone and we will be talking, a certain song will come on and we will all rush to the dance floor together! Everyone included!”

Teeebone - “That feeling you get when you have had an intense scene and then realize you are the closing DJ. Whoomp there it is!”

Turtle - “I had a few anthems the Team would all dance to but before everyone got there, we’d have a Pep Rally that always ended with us singing C is for Cookie!”

Teeebone - “I loved those cookies. They were the best.”

Turtle - “We were a family. A family that exists to this day. When we wanted to set up a general, heavy play party again…we realized just how far our existing volunteers were stretched. Hell, 50% of the volunteers are Board members. So, it's been 5 years since the last PPMT, and I started texting. Amazing PPMT members answer with just ‘I’m In’ then go and renew their membership. It’s that kind of dedication, love and camaraderie we at PPMT live for. I’m so grateful for them Re-Igniting Their Fires to bring PPMT back to life!”

Teeebone - *yells* “I got it! That feel you get when somebody says straight to 3 DJs’ faces ‘do you have any music I can dance to?’ and you've been playing Dance music all night long. The only right answer to this question: I'M SORRY. WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DANCE MUSIC WHATSOEVER!” 

Turtle - “And the look on Sir Nikolia’s face that suggested the heat of a 1,000 suns… Well, we’ll leave it at that! Actually, she came back later to thank us for playing the Rolling Stones. Who knew?”

Every summer, when Paradise (our annual camping trip) would roll around, PPMT would follow it. We’d have a sarong night called, “Sarong, it’s So Right!” One year, the Paradise theme was to Keep the Fires Burning. I could have never imagined, at the time, something like a modern day plague taking humanity out at the knees. That we’d let our fires burn low into coals. That fire is still there though. PPMT and all the other CSPC programming plan to help breathe those fires back to life…to Reignite them into a conflagration of passion for ourselves and our community. Come out. Become whole again! Volunteer and make space for others to become whole too!

Turtle - “I loved that the staff, no matter the name tag, all worked together to make great things happen. They could have happened at any party. But PPMT just refuses to notice that there is a box at all, much less lines to color in.”

Teeebone - “The concept of the crew as ‘Fam’ was very strong with PPMT.”

Turtle - “You keep hearing hints about TK’s Buffet. Trust me. What’s there isn’t food but, if you have a vagina, you can still get stuffed! You have to come to PPMT and see it to believe it.”

Teeebone - “We like to think of it as an immersive experience.” *laughs* “Two of my partners have been to the Buffet Table and rate it 5 thumbs up!”

Turtle - “We are both DJs as is Sir Nikolia. We love music! We play it loud! It is important to us. So bring your earplugs or headphones if you need them. Also, if the music fits the theme and you contact us beforehand, we’ve been known to play certain songs for a scene. Be nice or we might Rick Roll you! We are Never Gonna Give You Up!”

Teeebone - “Get yourself ready for a hot night with a 5-finger sex punch!”

First half is Dance, EDM. Second half is Rock and Mashups. ppmt@thecspc.org
