Update on Sex Positive Centre

Update: Sex Positive Centre

What this is about.

There has been some discussion going on here about a sex positive space here in Edmonton.
Initially the conversation centered around having a space in which playing (dungeon) and sex could both be permitted. The conversation continued to include some community minded ideas of supporting our larger community, not merely making a fuck friendly dungeon-which is exciting!

What Is Happening:

There is a highly motivated group of persons who are working their backsides off to create a Centre for Sex Positive Education and Events.
This space will ideally (still viewing spaces, but so far looks good):

• Have a suitable space for groups to book for meets (up to 25 people) with or without kitchen access.
• Have suitable space for small workshops (up to 30 people), Larger workshops (up to 100 people)
• Be membership based. Members will have access to workshops hosted by the centre and reduced rates for parties and events hosted by the centre.
• Be volunteer based. Volunteers will be able to choose their availability. Their services and time will be rewarded with passes to events/workshops/training etc.
• Be inclusive. This means that the centre will welcome and strive to be supportive to persons of all sexualities, all genders, and all backgrounds.
• Have a play space that is used for parties and available to book for other communities and their events. This play space will, depending on the event, permit sexual activity.
• Endeavor to work with the existing communities and those that are formed, in order to be supportive and inclusive.
• Host fundraisers for sex positive communities in Alberta
• Include a dungeon, social areas, kitchen, gender neutral bathrooms and showers, water sports areas, meeting rooms and lockers.
• Host nights that are exclusive to certain groups (and their guests) as part of creating a safe space. (Example, having a night that is for Transgender folk and their guests only, or an event that is for Pups and their Handlers. These groups will be organized by persons who are part of those groups with our support.)
• Have strict policies governing behaviour with a zero tolerance policy for bullying, harassment and so on. Racist,sexist, homophobic, heterophobic, bi-phobic, gender-phobic, leather-phobic, sex-phobic, size-phobic, ageist or other prejudiced remarks and attitudes will not be tolerated.
• Have strict rules governing sanitation of play areas including clearly identified zones in which wet play and condom free play etc are permitted.
• Follow the laws and regulations as they apply to our adult members only center.
• Participate in fundraising for non profit organizations.
• We are looking at contracting out the kitchen space. Interested? Contact us!
