Want to know more about kinky sex? Interested in experimenting with<br>
BDSM and need some basic safety tips? Come to the Exiles' New Member<br>
Orientation on Sunday, December 6th.<br>
<br>
The Exiles is the SF Bay Area's premier women's BDSM organization. We<br>
are open to all who are 18+, who don't ID as male, and who have an<br>
interest in risk-aware BDSM between women. Attending the Orientation<br>
is a requirement for Exiles membership.<br>
<br>
Our main focus is education and safety, so if you just want some good<br>
information and aren't interested in joining the Exiles, that's okay.<br>
In the Orientation, we'll cover the basics of several different kinds<br>
of BDSM play. While this by no means will make you a BDSM expert, we<br>
want to emphasize that keeping you safe - and keeping those you play<br>
with safe - is an important goal of the Exiles.<br>
<br>
We start on time and do not admit latecomers, so please plan<br>
accordingly. The orientation costs $10.00 to help with the rental cost<br>
for the room (no one turned away for lack of funds). In exchange,<br>
we'll give you a free pass to an Exiles monthly program. To make<br>
things faster and easier on everyone, bring small bills if you can.<br>
You must bring a legal picture ID with you, for age verification.<br>
<br>
You don't have to be a member to attend our monthly educational<br>
program meetings, held every 3rd Friday at the Women's Building in San<br>
Francisco. Come to learn, cruise, and have fun. To find out more<br>
about our organization, our BDSM Safety Essentials: From Top to Bottom<br>
Orientation, and to get the scoop on our upcoming programs, please<br>
visit our website: <a href="http://theexiles.org/" target="_blank">theexiles.org</a><br>
<br>
The Marxist Library is wheelchair accessible. Parking is plentiful in<br>
the surrounding blocks, but hard to find right on Telegraph.<br>
