Workshop: Demystifying STIs and Safer Sex
Greenwood Public Library Meeting Room (8016 Greenwood Ave. N, Seattle), 6:30–7:30 pm / Free
Info: https://thefspc.org/event/workshop-demystifying-stis-and-safer-sex-25/?instance_id=TBD
Whether you’re new to sex or jumping back into dating, having good information about sex and the related health concerns is important. What is Safer Sex and how can we make it fun and easy to incorporate into our romantic and playful encounters? Prepare to learn: how to decide what Safer Sex protocols are for you; an overview of available supplies (as well as how to make your own in emergencies); when and how to easily bring up “the talk”; and how to make Safer Sex sexy! We will focus on solid facts about Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and dispelling the stigmas that are often attached to these infections so you can make informed and rational decisions regarding your health. All sexes, genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, relationship orientations welcome and celebrated. Attendance is limited to 40 people.
PDX Queer Munch
Radio Room (1101 NE Alberta, Portland), 6:30–8:30 pm
This munch is for anyone who identifies as queer and their partners. By queer, we mean gay men, lesbians, fags, dykes, bisexuals, pansexuals, and polysexuals along with transfolk, those who are genderqueer, gender flexible, gender fluid, and gender fuckers. If the word queer feels like home for part of you or all of you, you are welcome. And when we say “partner” we mean everything from play partners to life partners. The Portland Queer Munch will happen every month on the first or second Thursday (depending on scheduling options).
The space is wheelchair accessible and the menu has lots of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options (and all clearly labeled!). There is plenty of free street parking and the 72 bus will drop you off within a block of The Radio Room. The munch will meet on the main floor instead of in the lounge areas so that we won’t be limited to 21+. This does mean that we can’t be too demonstrative about our kink so as not to scare off their other patrons, but the venue is completely aware of what our group is about and is happy to have us there! Please buy something to support the venue so that they’ll keep having us back. They do know that not everyone will be ordering food/eating full meals, but please do get a drink or a snack. Bottomless coffee is $2, and an order of fries is $3, to give you an idea of the prices.

All The Demos!
Presented by Max. This is a highly interactive event, mostly comprised of demos on attendee volunteers. It provides a safe and informal space to observe, experience, learn, and discuss a number of kink activities. After a brief introduction covering scene dynamics, negotiation and safety, volunteers have opportunities to bottom to Max for demos which may include:
• Rope bondage
• Electrical toys — violet wands, TENS/ErosTek, stun guns and zappers
• Needles / temporary piercing
• Pressure points
• Floggers
• Singletail whips
• Canes
• D/S and service dynamics
• Leather & metal bondage (including hoods)
• Cages
• Erotic hypnosis
Each demo will include some time for a debrief and Q&A. This is a great workshop for anyone curious about kink, as it’s an unusual opportunity to see many different types of play up close and personal. It’s also valuable for more experienced kinksters who would like to see a professional demonstration. And it’s a great opportunity to meet Max and to do a demo scene with him, of course. This workshop assumes no previous experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations. You can bring a partner or a group of friends, but coming alone is completely comfortable and appropriate. If you miss this workshop or want a deeper experience, Max also offers private instruction for bondage and many other BDSM techniques. Class size is limited and preregistration is required.

Private location (TBD), 6:00–10:00 pm / $5 for guests ($20 annual membership)
The Olympians are a social club for gay (and straight but not narrow) men who enjoy the freedom which comes with nudity. The group gets together in whole or in part on a monthly basis. We call these “events”. They are not necessarily “parties” but potluck functions, which consist of a meal and dessert, followed with social interaction and “other” forms of contact, including physical. These events are usually hosted in the homes of Olympians’ members, but a few times a year held in a rented space, with complete respect to be given to the owner’s property at all times. We always want the events to be a pleasant experience, as sharing the company of several other nude men can be. Swimming pool and hot tub this month.

Lessons start at 7:00, but sometimes people are early so they might get in on a quick review of a recently taught line dance. Dancing follows the hour-long lesson. There will be a good mix of two-step, waltz, shadow, east coast and west coast swing, line dancing, and more. Come by yourself, bring your friends, or bring a partner.
