BDSM SAFETY: FROM TOP TO BOTTOM 

THE EXILES NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION – OAKLAND EVENT

 Sunday, August 1, 2-4 pm
The Marxist Library, 

6501 Telegraph Ave, Oakland
 


Please contact 

orientationofficer at theexiles. org 

with any questions. 


Want to know more about kinky sex? Interested in experimenting with BDSM and 
need some basic safety tips? Come to the Exiles' New Member Orientation 
on Sunday, August 1st.

The Exiles is the SF Bay Area's premier women's BDSM organization. We are open 
to all who are 18+, who don't id as male, and who have an interest in risk-aware 
BDSM between women. Attending the Orientation is a requirement for Exiles 
Membership.

Our main focus is education and safety, so if you just want some good 
information and aren't interested in joining the Exiles, that's okay. In the 
Orientation, we'll cover the basics of several different kinds of BDSM play. 
While this by no means will make you a BDSM expert, we want to emphasize that 
keeping you safe - and keeping those you play with safe - is an important goal 
of the Exiles. 


We start on time and do not admit latecomers, so please plan accordingly. The 
orientation costs $10.00 to help with the rental cost for the room (no one 
turned away for lack of funds). In exchange, we'll give you a free pass to an 
Exiles monthly program. To make things faster and easier on everyone, bring 
small bills if you can. You must bring a legal picture ID with you, for age 
verification.

You don't have to be a member to attend our monthly educational program 
meetings, held every 3rd Friday at the Women's Building in San Francisco.(Note: 
Our August meeting will be on the 4th Friday of the month, August 27.) Come to 
learn, cruise, and have fun. To find out more about our organization, our BDSM 
Safety Essentials: From Top to Bottom orientation, and to get the scoop on our 
upcoming programs, please visit our website: theexiles.org
The Marxist Library is wheelchair accessible. Parking is plentiful in the 
surrounding blocks, but hard to find right on Telegraph. 

If ASL interpretation is needed, please notify orientationofficer at theexiles. org 
at least one week before the event.
