This week in kink: October 5, 2020

It’s a sad week for the Los Angeles BDSM community, with Justine Cross announcing the closing of her Dungeon West location as of October 15. Long a favorite for private play parties, Pro Domme sessions and photo shoots, the impact of COVID on such activities has translated into a huge hit on revenue to cover the costs of the venue.

Please see Justine’s tweet below with ways that you can offer her your support, including coming to her closing down sale.

Note that her other location, Dungeon East (in Downtown Los Angeles), will remain open.

Berlin’s S&M workers win court case arguing that dungeons and erotic massage parlors pose no more of a health risk than tattoo shops or salons.

The city had originally roped the above in with brothels, but was proven incorrect during this hearing.

Amnesty International, a UK human rights organization, turns in a new draft stating that any kind of non-consensual sex should be considered rape whereas before rape was considered sex involving force.

In our opinion at Kink Weekly, we agree that rape is any kind of sex that is non-consensual and should NOT have to involve force to be considered rape.

Consent is the key when defining rape and abuse.

BDSM can involve consensual force and should NOT be considered rape or abuse at all as long as consent is involved.

Go Amnesty Inernational!

New to kink? Not new but want to brush up on skills or just enjoy a play party with fresh energy?  CLUB AWAKENING is what you’re looking for!

Club Awakening is a party that was designed for newbies in the BDSM scene.  It’s been a monthly party since March 2016 at Sanctuary LAX.  This party includes 4 set tasting booths plus one surprise booth each month.  The set booths are hands on play (spanking, face slapping, etc), crops/canes/paddles, flogging, and rope.  You can either feel what these things feel like as a bottom or learn how to do these things as a Top – or both!  We even have several volunteer practice bottoms to lend a helping hand (aka butt) so you can practice even without a play partner.  Other volunteers float the venue to answer questions and help point you in the right direction.

There are also 2-3 vendors and a midnight raffle – with multiple prizes to win!  We provide a coat and bag check for a nominal fee as well as a fun photo booth where you can get pics taken of you and your friends to commemorate the night!
