Sex Postive Centre In Edmonton: Let's Talk about this!

I posted this on Fetlife and want to share it here for my non fetlife friends.

Edit 1

When we are talking about sex positive spaces, this is NOT limited to being able to have sex on the premises. The idea is to come up with a space in which we can be supportive of sex positivity (positive attitudes regarding sexuality), offer a safe space for events to groups that are often under served (such as the transgender community), inclusive education and workshops-AND for some events have sex permitted on the premisses. This is about making room for persons who are willing to support the effort with their presence and by following the rules required in order to stay open. This post originally focused on the Sex aspect to encourage a dialogue regarding what rules to use, what we wish to see for stations and play ability. PLEASE DO NOT limit this conversation to one about fucking only. Weigh in. What do YOU want to see? Exclusive nights for certain groups? Small meeting rooms for rent? Strict policy about being a safe space? Inclusive policies? Do tell.

If you have specific concerns regarding this topic, and do not wish to post here, feel free to pm me.
Let us imagine that we ended up with our very own Sex Positive Center here in Edmonton. That it would be the place we envision when we are wishing that our local dungeons permitted sexual contact.

Original Post

What would this space need to have in order to best serve our community, our needs and our perverted desires?
Would it offer workshops? Be large enough for the various and sundry groups to hold their meets and events? Hidden in the woods? Right in the City?
Would there be showers? Watersports? Beds? Dungeon furniture? Needle areas? A kitchen? Rope areas? Furry play area? Littles Rooms? Would it be large and open, or have areas for specific things that are separated from the others?
Would there be a bar? Food Service?
What sort of Theme Events would you want to see? Just BDSM all the way? Furry Nights? Leather Nights? Queer Nights? Nights for partners only? (including trios), Karaoke? Wet T's? Spankolympics? Rope only nights?
What rules would you want to see remain in place (or be added).
What would it need to include for you to feel welcome?
Are there groups who are unable to flourish due to the lack of a safe and welcoming space?
Share your vision, share your concerns, your thoughts, worries, dreams and wisdom.
