Threshold Guidelines

Posted by Gravity On July - 29 - 2010

Event Guidelines

- All play must take place after negotiation and with consent.

- The house safeword is “safeword”.

- Respect scenes in progress.

- Clean up after yourself.

- Don’t get overly intoxicated.

- Make reasonable use of barrier protection.

- Play to the level of your skill/sobriety, and be mindful of the limitations of the space.

- No blood, fire, or breath control play.  Thanks!

Our Threshold Charter is a short list of guidelines to help you enjoy our event. It will be posted and the front door, and one of the hosts will review it with you when you arrive. Here are some additional details and hopefully answers to questions you might have about our guidelines:

- All play must take place after negotiation and with consent.
We expect and require that you and your partner(s) have talked about limits, safewords, health concerns, etc. before you start a scene. If you need help negotiating with a new partner or don’t know where to start, ask a host!

- The house safeword is “safeword”
This will be considered a serious call for help from outside your scene, and should only be used after other safewords (yellow, red, etc) have failed.

- Respect scenes in progress
When people are in a scene, whether that is spanking, getting busy, or anything else, don’t interrupt. Not to say “hi” to one of the players, not to offer to “help” or ask to join in, not for any reason. If you have safety concerns about a scene in progress, find a host and discuss it with them.

- Clean up after yourself
Especially, bodily fluids must be contained. Cleaning supplies are located throughout Mission Control. Let us know if you need help finding something!

- Don’t get overly intoxicated
This event is BYOB, and we invite you to relax and enjoy. If you are drunk, however, we will ask you to leave.

- Make reasonable use of barrier protection
Condoms are not required if you are with a fluid bonded partner, but are certainly highly recommended for general use. Mission Control provides condoms and other barrier protection for your use. Please be sure to dispose of these items properly after use.

- Play to the level of your skill/sobriety, and be mindful of the limitations of the space- NO blood, fire, or breath control play permitted.
This space is unique, and will be well-suited for certain scene types of activity but ill-suited for others. Due to the lighting, lack of means for disposal, and porous play surfaces, blood and needle play will not be allowed. We also cannot allow fire or wax play. You are welcome to use a single tail whip, just be conscious of those around you and keep in mind that the most appropriate lighting is probably in the “dungeon” room. As far as playing to your level of sobriety, we expect that you can have a slight buzz and still safely give your partner a spanking and have sex. However we expect you to be totally sober if you are going to use a single-tail or flogger.

Examples of play:
So, what type of scene might you expect to see at this party, or what type of play should you plan on for this event?

-We encourage sexual play, or play mixing sex with BDSM. For example, tying your partner’s hands over their head, putting clamps on their nipples, and then enjoying each other.

-Running your submissive through some training positions and then “teaching” him or her the proper technique to go down on you. Impact play, such as with hands, floggers, canes, and paddles, or scenes involving bondage (from light restraints up to safe suspension) are welcome.

-Clamps, clothespins, safe electrical play, and other sorts of sensation work very well in this space. Scenes involving power exchange, protocol, roleplay, and training are great.

Mission Control is an artist space with mostly dim lighting and a sexy ambiance. Play surfaces are mostly horizantal and we will also have some crosses and a supension point.

If you have any questions, please e-mail your hosts at thresholdsf@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you at the event!

- All play must take place after negotiation and with consent.- The house safeword is “safeword”.- Respect scenes in progress.- Clean up after yourself.- Don’t get overly intoxicated.- Make reasonable use of barrier protection.- Play to the level of your skill/sobriety, and be mindful of the limitations of the space.- No blood, fire, or breath control play.  Thanks!

Important Change to Kiss

Posted by Gravity On July - 27 - 2010


A huge thank you kiss to all sexy and sassy couples and single ladies that made it out to our BIGGEST PARTY EVER last Saturday night!  Mission Control was truly standing room only – so we’ve got some VERY IMPORTANT CHANGES coming your way for the next party and beyond…

As KISS has now become THE place to be on Saturday nights, we are now going to be a PRE-SALE-ONLY party…some of our members were turned away last weekend due to the insane number of people packed into our little slice o’ heaven, and we don’t want that to happen again!  So that means that each and every time you want to attend a party, you will need to buy your tickets through Brown Paper Tickets, our awesome new ticketing system HERE. (This link is for Kiss Members only.)

Also, you may have noticed that we shortened the name of the party to Kiss. Simpler, easier, and more to the point.

Please remember that Kiss occurs on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month.

So until the next party we hope that y’all are getting up to some seriously naughty shenanigans and enjoying the summer!

Kisses, kisses, kisses….

PrePink Playa Sex Playshop

Posted by Gravity On July - 26 - 2010

Friday, August 20, 2010 – 9pm to 10:15pm
Another fabulous pre-Pink play-shop coming your way

Playa Sex Success

with Dr Friendly and Miss Pringle

  • What does ‘sexy’ mean on the playa – where we are all less-clothed and more open?
  • Putting together your Playa sex success kit
  • Tips for getting it on Playa style

Given the level of overload that we are all on, the dust, the lack of showers, etc, it is kind of a special case for sexual exploration, sometimes a major challenge. There is a contrast between the physical hurdles of the playa and the massive opening that we all experience that makes it very interesting.  There are definitely things to know and to have on hand to make playa sexual experiences smoother and sweeter. In this playshop we share expertise and offer tips for getting it on playa style.

Your Playa Playshop presenters are:

Doctor Friendly is a Scientist At Large with 14 years of experience getting down & dusty. Though he has been known to provide orgasms remotely through his interactive electronic installations, and support rock-star erotic stamina through his home-grown superfoods, he can also provide down-to-dust advice on getting your flirt and f*&% on in the midst of stupid heat, swirling psychedelia, and a crocheted apron in the form of an American flag. Spray bottles may play a significant role.

Miss Pringle is a Body Awareness Specialist & Instructor with 8 years of Playa experience (1996-2007 w/some breaks). Her passion is to empower humanoids to explore and discover their pleasure centers. She teaches hands on techniques of massage as well as non-violent communication skills that allow for deeper connection between seekers.

Please bring new clean spray bottles and wash cloths. Dress to Playa express (encouraged)

Guaranteed to be the an outstanding MC edutainment offering!

Come early to Pink and gain some knowledge to help you connect with your special some one/s

Free with Pink entry! RSVP by sending an email to info (at) missioncontrolsf.org

Kinky Salon

The Venue

Kinky Salon takes place at Mission Control,  our private venue in the Mission in San Francisco. From the outside you would never know it’s there, so make sure you bring the address with you if it’s your first time. Mission Control is labyrinth of themed rooms which bursts with color and ambiance.

The Themes

We have a different theme each month, and the costumes that people create are a big part of the vibe here at Kinky Salon. Sometimes we repeat the themes, but most of the time it’s a fresh new theme each month!

The Dresscode

Dressing up is a really important part of the Kinky Salon experience. Some people love it straight away, hand making custom costumes for themselves and throwing themselves head first into a theme. For some people it’s a bit harder- they feel intimidated and don’t know where to start. The thing to remember is that it’s not about how cool or expensive your clothes are, we are working on a different scale here. For us, ridiculousness and humor are the traits we find sexy.  Remember- you can never be over (or under)-dressed for a Kinky Salon! Please note: WE NEVER ALLOW JEANS, KHAKI or SPORTSWEAR.

Kinky Salon is a community dedicated to the safe and consensual exploration of sex-positive self- expression. We celebrate all forms of diversity and encourage all members and guests to equally uphold our community’s Standards of behavior.

Please note that YOU are responsible for educating your guests as to the Standards of our community.

ANYONE showing up inappropriately dressed, under-informed or with the wrong attitude is subject to be turned away at the door.  As always BYOB & PAL required.  This is a private event.  21 and over only (we check ID!) No alcohol will be served.

It’s through the efforts of the Kinky Salon volunteer community that the parties go off so well… sign up to be a part of the crew that makes it all happen!

Come visit the Kinky Salon website at kinkysalon.com for more information and for details on this month’s theme!
