fwb 💦 dip: a sexy party for newbies
Are you curious about sex and play parties but don’t know where to begin? And what do you do once you get to one? What should you expect? It’s common to have anxiety about going to a sexy party, so Tristan Taormino created one just for you!! First, we’ll talk about confidence building and how to ask for what you want. We’ll do some icebreaker exercises and games to get people talking to each other. Then….hopefully you’ll play!
This is a consent-focused event open to people of all genders and sexualities. It’s designed for folks who are party-curious, party newbies, or shy folks looking to up their game at parties. Participation is entirely voluntary and you can go at your own pace.
Tristan Taormino is an award-winning writer, sex educator, speaker, and podcaster. She is the author of eight books, including the bestselling classic Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships. Her latest book is A Part of the Heart Can't Be Eaten: A Memoir. Tristan has conducted original research on non-monogamy and teaches workshops and professional trainings about it at colleges and universities, conferences, and community groups around the world. She created The Open List, a list of professionals who are experienced and knowledgeable about open relationships, polyamory, and non-monogamy (openingup.net).

This is a low-scent event: no perfume, cologne, or essential oils.

PHONE POLICY
We have a strict no phone policy for the privacy and presence of all our guests. Please ensure your phone is off or set to do not disturb. When you arrive, you must check in your phone(s) with one of our hosts. We discourage checking phones during social time, but if you must check your phone before doors lock, you may check it at the front desk and promptly return it to our staff.
Once doors have locked, there are no phones allowed. If you need to check your phone, you will be asked to leave the event.
FOOD & BEVY
We provide tea, non-alcoholic drinks and a variety of snacks.
This event is BYOB. We lean sober-ish as a community, so if you choose to consume, we suggest keeping it to a drink (maybe 2).
If you arrive visibly intoxicated, or become overly intoxicated throughout the event, you may be asked to leave for the safety of yourself and our community.
You're welcome to bring your own food and drinks. If you do not wish to share with the community, please clearly label your items with your name so that friends know it's not for sharing.
There's no food or bevy in the play area except water.
REFUND & CANCELLATION POLICY
We do not offer refunds. If you need to cancel or change your reservation, please let us know 48 hours prior to an event, and we will credit you for a future event.
If you are sick, were recently exposed to someone who has covid, or tested positive, and let us know ~4 hours prior to an event start, we will credit you for a future event.
We offer refunds if we cancel an event for any reason. We'll send out a cancellation email. Attendees who wish to receive a refund for their ticket purchase will need to respond within 7 days of the cancelled event. All other tickets will receive a credit for a future event.
Because we keep our events intentionally small and curate our guest list for a healthy balance of genders, sexualities, and interests, repeat no calls/no shows by friends with an active fwb membership may have their membership revoked.
