TOP TO BOTTOM <br>The Exiles' New Member Orientation – Oakland
Event<br>Please contact <a href="mailto:orientationofficer@theexiles.org" target="_blank">orientationofficer@theexiles.org</a> with any
questions.<br>Sunday, December 12th, 2010, Noon-2p</span><br>Niebyl-Proctor Marxist Library, 6501 Telegraph Ave, Oakland, CA 94609<br><span><br> <span><br><br>Want to know more about kinky sex? Interested in
experimenting with BDSM and need some basic safety tips? Want to join
the Exiles? Come to The Exiles' Orientation on Sunday, December 12th.<br><br>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 among women. Attending the Orientation is a
requirement for Exiles membership.<br><br>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. <br><br>We start on time and do not admit latecomers, so
please plan accordingly. The orientation costs $10 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.<br><br>You
don't have to be a member to attend our monthly educational program
meetings, held every 3rd Friday at the Women's Bldg in SF. 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:
