LATEX SEX + Mixer and Play Party

Agenda: Femme Class, 2-4pm | Break, 4-5pm | LATEX SEX Class, 5-7pm | Fetish Mixer & Play 7-9pm

If your closet is stocked, but your curiosity isn't satisfied, this class is for you.

Latex is a second skin, and once it's on, everything changes: how you move, how you're touched, how you're perceived.

Join Knotasha for a deeper dive into using latex for sensation, sex, and play.

We'll explore:

• Dressing others in latex, and the erotic potential in the act itself
• Playing in latex solo and with partners
• Latex as a sensation tool: temperature, texture, pressure, restriction
• Intensifying the physical and psychological experience
• Layering latex with other kinks: bondage, breath, impact, lingerie, objectification
• Lube, slick, and shine: which lubes are latex-safe and which will destroy a $400 catsuit, what to use for dressing versus play versus polish, and how the right slick transforms every point of contact/entry
• Practical mechanics for sex in rubber: grip, leverage, positioning, and how to hold on when everything is slippery so you can giddy up safely!

Live demo: Knotasha will dress and undress two complete latex outfits, including neck-entry latex, a corset, stockings, leggings, and a hood. She will also show how to dress another human with tips and tricks. Enjoy a full showcase of the kinky toys, accessories, and lubes you can work into latex play.

Come ready to get hands-on with the possibilities of rubber and leave knowing what your latex can really do.

This class is open to all experience levels. You do not need to own latex to attend the class or mixer.

If you will be arriving in latex or changing into latex for the class and play party, please bring your own towel to sit on that covers your seat and the chair back, and any other areas you plan to rest on. Please remember to wipe down areas that come in contact with your latex/lube/shine/sweat, including toilet seats and door handles.

PLAY PARTY RULES (PLEASE READ):

- Do not assume anyone's presence implies availability.
- Negotiate all scenes in advance. No up-negotiation during play.
- Be mindful of those in active scenes or aftercare. Do not interrupt, crowd, or hover.
- Wipe down any surfaces with disinfectant or degreaser where fluid/lube contact may have occurred. We will have Cavicide for disinfecting and isopropyl alcohol for lube degreasing.
- If you'll be playing with silicone-based lubricants or latex shine, please bring your own rubber sheets or protective barriers (like waterproof throws/blankets). Silicone and oil-based products can permanently damage upholstery, so it is required to keep our space and equipment in good condition for everyone.

ENTHUSIASTIC CONSENT is required for all touch and play at this event. It must be freely given, revocable, informed, engaged, and specific (FRIES).

Examples of enthusiastic consent:
"Can I give you a hug?" → "Yes! I'd love that!"
"Want to try (blank) together?" → "Absolutely, I've been wanting to try that!"

Examples of Non-Enthusiastic (or Absent/Unclear) Consent:"Can I hug you?" → "...sure, I guess.""Are you okay to continue?" → "Mmm, whatever."If you are uncertain whether enthusiastic consent has been given, treat that uncertainty as your answer. Consent has not been given.
It is always appropriate to pause and check in. You might say something like:

"How would you feel about taking a short break?"
"I want to make sure we're both fully on board... Can we pause for a moment?"
"I wasn't completely certain that was a full yes, so I'd like to stop and check in with you."

Pausing is never the wrong choice. It demonstrates care, self-awareness, and respect for everyone involved and creates space for an honest, comfortable conversation.

KINK STORE EVENT CODE OF CONDUCT - By purchasing your ticket(s), you agree to comply with the entire CoC:

Golden Rule
Treat one another with kindness and respect.

Consent
Consent is required for all touch and play at this event. It must be freely given, revocable, informed, engaged, and specific (FRIES).

• Never touch anyone without permission.
• Negotiate all scenes in advance. No up-negotiation during play.
• Do not assume anyone's presence implies availability.
• Do not join or interrupt a scene without invitation.
• If someone asks to be left alone, respect that immediately.
• Obtain explicit consent before photographing or involving others in your scenes.

Privacy and Discretion
What happens here stays here. Treat all information about attendees and activities as confidential. Do not "out" anyone regarding their identity, orientation, kinks, or attendance.

Community Care
Don't yuck someone's yum. This means respecting that others may have different kinks, interests, and ways of expressing themselves. What isn't your thing may be someone else's joy. Keep negative reactions, comments, or judgments about others' consensual interests to yourself. This is an LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC-inclusive space. Everyone is expected to show up with respect and care for others. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for:

• Discrimination or bias based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, or body size.
• Harassment, intimidation, coercion, bullying, or unwanted advances.
• Non-consensual behavior of any kind.
• Misgendering, deadnaming, or invalidating anyone's identity.

Intoxicants & Altered States
We do not sell or serve alcohol at this venue.

We recognize that substances affect capacity to consent, and we prioritize everyone's safety. If you appear unable to give or receive clear consent, a host may check in with you privately. Continued concern may result in being asked to pause play or step outside. This is never a punishment, but a community care measure. Our priority is keeping everyone safe and able to enjoy the space.

Health and Hygiene

• Please stay home if you are feeling sick or experiencing symptoms.
• Be scent-aware: avoid heavy perfumes, colognes, or strongly scented products.
• Be thoughtful and considerate of all bodily odors when attending and throughout events. Come prepared, as personal hygiene is your responsibility. If you need basic hygiene supplies, please ask a host.
• Respect others' disclosed allergies or sensitivities.

Respect the Space
Treat staff, hosts, and the venue with care and courtesy. Return any equipment to its proper place and report any damage or safety concerns to a host immediately.

• Wipe down any surfaces where fluid contact may have occurred.
• If you need cleaning or disinfecting supplies, please ask a host.
• Silicone & oil-based lubricants: Guests must supply their own rubber sheets or protective barriers. These products can permanently damage latex surfaces and furniture, and we cannot allow their use without adequate protection in place.

Scenes and Play

• Be mindful of those in active scenes or aftercare. Do not interrupt, crowd, or hover.
• Respect established play areas, furniture, and equipment; ask a host before using anything unfamiliar.
• Any play considered edge play must be disclosed in advance to event hosts. This includes rope suspension, any form of breath restriction, electrical play, and similar high-risk activities.
• Allow adequate space between scenes and bystanders.

Safewords
Agree on safewords before any play begins.

• "Red" or "Safeword" will immediately stop a scene. Alert hosts if necessary.
• "Yellow" (or equivalent) indicates a limit or request to reduce intensity.
• If verbal safewords are not possible, establish a clear nonverbal signal in advance. For example, three deliberate head shakes as a "no" signal, or dropping a held object.
• Honoring a safeword is non-negotiable. Ignoring one is a serious violation.

Safer Sex

• Communicate openly and honestly about STI status when relevant.
• Safer sex supplies will be available when needed.
• Respect others' safer sex boundaries and practices without question or pressure.

Safety Monitors & Dungeon Monitors
Dungeon Monitors (DMs) and hosts are here to support safety and consent. They have final say and may stop any scene. Please:

• Inform DMs or hosts in advance of any edge or atypical play.
• Follow their instructions promptly and without argument.
• Seek them out immediately if you witness any consent violation.
• Be patient; they may be attending to another matter.

Phones and Photography
No photography, video, or audio recording is permitted unless explicitly stated otherwise for a specific event. Keep your phone stored and screens dimmed in play areas. Violations of this policy are taken extremely seriously.

Aftercare
Aftercare is a vital part of responsible BDSM play. Check in with your play partners following a scene. Be mindful that aftercare needs vary; some may need space, others physical comfort, or time to decompress. Hosts may have a designated aftercare area or resources available. Please ask if you need support.

Newcomers & First-Timers
We welcome people who are new to events like this. If you're unsure about anything, ask a host. No question is too basic. We encourage experienced community members to be patient and welcoming mentors, not gatekeepers.

Concerns and Reporting
If you witness or experience a consent violation or safety concern, please speak with a host or event representative immediately. All reports will be handled with discretion and taken seriously. You will be believed and supported. You may also email dusty@kinkstore.com if you wish to remain anonymous. We are committed to accountability and learning.

Consequences for Violations
Violations of this code of conduct may result in:

• A verbal warning from a host or DM.
• Being asked to stop a scene or activity.
• Being asked to leave the event immediately.
• Being banned from future events.

Serious violations involving non-consent will result in immediate removal and may be reported to relevant community networks.

The main floor entrance is wheelchair accessible. There is one step into the space; a built-in ramp provides easy access throughout. Please note that the upstairs loft area is not currently accessible to persons using wheelchairs or mobility devices. Both restrooms are ADA-compliant.

We welcome guests with all access needs and encourage you to reach out in advance so we can do our best to accommodate you.

COVID & Other Contagious Illnesses: Safer-Play Policy

Our events are for people who recognize the ongoing risks of COVID and other contagious illnesses and are willing to take precautions for one another, especially to protect immunocompromised members of our community. Please consider whether this approach aligns with yours before attending.

Under our event policy, please do not attend if you:

• Are sick or experiencing any symptoms, even if your COVID test is negative.
• Have tested positive for COVID within the past 10 days.
• Have had a known exposure to COVID within the past 5 days.

COVID testing is strongly encouraged, though not required.

Molecular tests, including PCR and other NAAT tests, are generally more sensitive than rapid antigen tests. A rapid antigen test is another practical option, but a single negative result does not rule out infection.

Follow your test’s instructions for repeat testing. FDA guidance recommends:

• With symptoms: If your first antigen test is negative, repeat it 48 hours later, for at least two tests total.
• Without symptoms: If your first antigen test is negative, repeat it 48 hours later and again 48 hours after that, for at least three tests total.

If you have symptoms despite a negative rapid test, consider a molecular test or contact your healthcare provider. Please stay home while experiencing symptoms, regardless of your test result.

KN95 masks or better are encouraged, though not required, and are available free at every event. Please ask a house manager if you would like one.

Wearing a mask does not replace our requirement to stay home if you are sick. If you are ill, please do not attend, even if you plan to wear a mask.

Testing resources for San Francisco attendees

• UCSF Health–GoHealth Urgent Care (https://www.gohealthuc.com/ucsfhealth/covid-19-test): Offers rapid molecular testing at Bay Area locations. A provider visit is billed with testing, so check your insurance coverage and costs before booking.
• Medi-Cal at-home test access (https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/over-the-counter-covid-19-antigen-test-kits/): Ask a participating pharmacy’s pharmacist about covered COVID tests and present your Medi-Cal card. Coverage and quantity limits apply.
• California COVID testing coverage information (https://www.dmhc.ca.gov/Portals/0/Docs/DO/COVID-FactSheet.pdf): Commercial plans regulated by DMHC must cover at least eight tests per member per month; regulated Medi-Cal plans must cover up to four. Check your plan’s process and use in-network providers to avoid possible charges.
• San Francisco assistance: Call 311 for help finding city services, including testing resources. Confirm current availability, eligibility, and costs before visiting.
• FDA test expiration-date lookup (https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-covid-19-and-medical-devices/home-otc-covid-19-diagnostic-tests): Check whether your test’s expiration date has been extended before using it.
