BDSM Event Calendar

Starts at 7:30pm

Switch it Up!

Switch It Up is a discussion group focused on switches and various BDSM topics.
A top is simply someone who leads/guides the scene and the bottom is there to receive the experience. However, what if you like to play both roles? You might be a switch. Switches are the Swiss army knives of the kink world; versatile. We can be either role depending on who we are playing with, sometimes even both in a single scene (ever see a switch fight?).

The switches group isn't restricted to just switches (See? We can't make up our minds even on who can attend). If you are a dom, a sub, or undecided, or just a kinkster in general and just want to come to ask questions, everyone is welcome to attend. It doesn't matter how you identify in any way or what your experience level is; all are welcome!
If you have never been to the Denver Sanctuary, attending one of the discussion groups is a great, low-key way to check out the club.

So come join us for an evening of discussion, education, and community.

Facilitators
Switch it Up is facilitated by SwitchJake. Jake presents both locally and nationally and has been a staff member of the Denver Sanctuary for a number of years.

What's discussed?
Instead of having a specific topic each month, SwitchJake lets the group decide what they want to discuss at each meeting from the following list of topics. Of course, if you have questions that are not encompassed in any of these, bring them to the meeting and they can be discussed.
