Back in person at SF Catalyst, live streaming on YouTube
Each of us has a particular, unique, journey when it comes to living our Leather, kink, and fetish lives. We have low points, high points, turning points—and holding spaces that mark our identities as Leathermen. We will hear from six mentors and mentees from the LDG Mentoring Program as they share their kink journeys, and the role of mentoring in those journeys. This is a time to honor and reflect on the importance of personal guides, past lovers, and people who took us under their wing. We will end with a discussion of what is common across these life stories, and some announcements regarding the 2022 LDG Mentoring cycle.
Richard Sprott, head of the LDG Mentoring Program leads a panel of past mentors and mentees.

About The Transgender District:
The Transgender District is the first legally recognized transgender district in the world.

The mission of the Transgender District is to create an urban environment that fosters the rich history, culture, legacy, and empowerment of transgender people and its deep roots in the southeastern Tenderloin neighborhood. The transgender district aims to stabilize and economically empower the transgender community through ownership of homes, businesses, historic and cultural sites, and safe community spaces.

The Roxie Theater, a San Francisco landmark in the Mission District, brings people together to meet and connect through distinctive cinematic experiences.

SPANK! – San Francisco’s Hottest Spanking Party!
Almost everyone has incorporated spanking in some form into their kinky bag of tricks. SPANK is a pansexual celebration of that erotic art of spanking – from sensual sensation play to butt-blistering beatings, and everything and anything in between.
At SPANK we provide an inclusive space where people of all experience levels may explore, learn, connect and play. While spanking is the focus of the night, only your imagination can limit the kind of fun you have at San Francisco’s hottest spanking party!
We invite you to join in the revelry at SPANK! Bring your creativity, your energy, your awesome self. This party is a perfect way to celebrate your love of spanking at a fun party. See old friends, make new ones, and play the night away!
Here is what you can look forward to at SPANK:

Consent is Paramount
Part of our responsibility in fostering a consent culture is to provide guidance to help prevent consent incidents from happening at our events. Any consent concerns can be given to the hosts at the party or here on Fetlife, with a promise of confidentiality if desired.
Informed and voluntary consent is always required before play. The entire scope of any scene, including what parts of the body there may be contact with and the nature of such contact, should be negotiated prior to beginning any actual play.
People at our events come from different backgrounds and have vastly different life experiences. All attendees may expect to be treated by event staff and other attendees with respect irrespective of age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, body type, disability, etc.
People can expect that their persons and property shall not be touched without prior permission.
Attendees should not be addressed as “Mistress”, “Sir”, “slut”, “slave”, etc. or any potentially offensive terms or violating words unless they have given prior permission.

Each participant in a scene is responsible for making sure that everyone involved in the scene has the mental and emotional ability to give informed and voluntary consent for the scene. We consider people who are under the influence of substances, in subspace or otherwise not in a clear state of mind to be incapable of giving informed and voluntary consent.
While playing, players may not do anything that was not already explicitly agreed to.
Any participant in a scene has the right to withdraw consent at any time by means of an agreed-upon safeword, a non-verbal safesign or using the house safeword “SAFEWORD”. Once consent is withdrawn, all activity in the scene must stop.
For any consent related questions or concerns please contact us confidentially at info@afterdark-events.com.
