About this event
Boundaries and consent are just a silly little suggestion in the world of kink. Like, who needs 'em, right? But seriously, it's a very nuanced topic that definitely deserves our ongoing attention and discussion.
In this class, we'll be mixing things up with some discussion time and some hands-on boundary setting practice. We'll dive into the differences between boundaries, rules, protocol, limits - all those terms that can get mixed up sometimes. Then, we'll get into some practical exercises to really get a feel for what the different kinds of boundaries look and feel like. Can't wait to see you there!

COVID-19
While COVID-19 continues to circulate globally, currently there is significantly less risk of severe illness, hospitalization and death compared to earlier in the pandemic. Club X encourages its members and guests to be vaccinated if possible to Covid-19 and to be current on their booster shots as applicable, to protect themselves against serious illness, hospitalization, and death. Club X encourages members to consider wearing high-quality masks if they are at elevated risk, as a courtesy to others, and as a matter of personal responsibility, we request anyone who has been knowingly exposed to Covid-19 wear a high quality mask for 10 days and get tested on day 5 as recommended by the current CDC guidelines. Do not attend Club X in-person events if you know or suspect you are Covid positive, or otherwise ill, and isolate in accordance with CDC guidelines. Club X reserves the right to require masking at an event if requested by the presenter. We will designate such events with “masks required” in the title. This policy is subject to change by the board as local, state and national conditions warrant it.
