Want to know more about kinky sex? Interested in experimenting with<br>
BDSM and need some basic safety tips? Want to join the Exiles? Come to<br>
The Exiles' Orientation on Friday, February 5th.<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 among women. Attending the Orientation is<br>
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 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 Bldg in SF.<br>
Come to learn, cruise, and have fun. To find out more about our<br>
organization, our BDSM Safety Essentials: from Top to Bottom<br>
Orientation, and to get the scoop on our upcoming programs, please<br>

<br>
The Orientation is returning this month to its long-standing former<br>
home: the Metropolitan Community Church of San Francisco. This is a<br>
very exciting reunion, and we hope you will join us! The MCC is fully<br>
wheelchair accessible. If ASL interpretation is needed, please notify<br>
<a href="mailto:orientationofficer@theexiles.org">orientationofficer@theexiles.<wbr>org</a> at least one week before the event.<br></div>
