BDSM Groups/Places To Play In The Metro DC Area

Recently I was asked this question for the hundredth time…So I thought I would post the answer here, so that other new people to the local Scene might realize how lucky they are living in this area…

“Hi! I’m in Virginia as well and I’m interested in BDSM.
Any places to go to in Northern VA/DC area?”

Of course! We are really quite privileged in this area!

Check out the Black Rose web site... www.br.org
The registration for the annual event (conference/convention, whichever you prefer)...is going on right now... They have meetings for new people called Gateway, and regular educational Tuesday night meetings, workshops, Socials, SIGs (Special Interest Groups) meetings and the annual events, etc.

By coming out to the BR meetings, introducing yourself to people, letting them know you are new (there are volunteer greeters who can show you around and introduce you to people....) you will have a jump start on people who sit home alone and complain that they cannot find someone to play/scene with, or someone to love who is into what they are into!

The Crucible in DC is our local BDSM Pansexual club...and dungeon play space. Write to: The Crucible [contact@the-crucible.com] and ask to be placed on the mailing list for the calendar information. Or visit: http://www.the-crucible.com/

Then there is....

MAsT: DC_Pan is a pansexual chapter serving the Washington DC, Northern Virginia and Metropolitan MD area, which welcomes all genders and orientations.

MAsT: DC_Pan meets on the first Thursday of each month, and is a discussion group.
