Celeste & Danielle
invite you to join them on February 9th from 9pm-2am at 111 Minna
in SF to indulge in a party of the senses - Sensualitè.
Sensualitè offers something for everyone! Sample mouth-watering
aphrodisiac-appetizers while meeting new and exciting people.
Watch sensual performances and dance the night away to exotic
rhythms. Sensualitè will tease and tantalize all of your
senses, boost your sexual hunger, and leave you craving for more…
Otters
and Bears and Wolves... Oh My!
Communication
is all about safewords and health issues, right? Wrong!
Words
that Talk to the Clit and the Cock: Erotic Writing and Why it Matters
Imagine
the human body as your canvas, and rope as your paints… let’s
create art! From body harnesses to creative chest harnesses, rope corsets
to beautifully applied crotch ropes and rump bindings, we’ll
look into some ways to turn yourself or your partner into a sight to
be seen. We will also look at ways to accent and add decorative details
to other forms of rope bondage. Bring at least two pieces of 25-30ft
rope with you (we recommend 6-8mm) for hands-on fun and play.
The "O" Tapes
-- a spoken-word odyssey into the Female Orgasm... as seen on Showtime.
Now
bisexuals have their own frisky book of lists! Subititled "Quips,
Tips, and Lists for Those Who Go Both Ways," author/singer/songwriter
Kristal and noted bisexual activist Szymanski have covered the waterfront
in The Bisexual's Guide to the Universe. Join them at Good Vibrations'
Valencia Street store to celebrate the launch of their opus! Light
refreshments and readings from the book, plus face time with LA-based
Mike and Nicole. 
Breath
play is the black sheep of the BDSM family -- but folks ARE doing it.
Get real. Let’s discuss why and how folks are playing, how people
die from it, then plunge into the styles that exist out there, from
gas masks to choking, bagging to shared breath play, tantric breathing
to nooses and more. This stuff makes us hot, so fess up -- you are
not alone. We will also touch on auto-erotic breath play, complicated
breath play scenes, and health issues involved in breath play.
