BDSM Party Tips
I’ve never felt the urge to host a BDSM party, but this looks like a very practical and sensible set of first steps for the party planning:
How To Throw The Perfect BDSM Party
For instance, about the space:
Lets take a look at what makes a good play space. If you can, arrange for four distinct areas. When guests first arrive they will want somewhere to change out of street clothes, and someplace to put them so that they can find them at the end of the night. One solution is to provide brown paper shopping bags with a number marked on them for clothes and shoes, etc. guests can either write the number down, or some sort of ticket corresponding to the bag can be handed out.
Welcome the quests into a social area with food, drink and a place to sit and hang out without disturbing people who are already playing. This makes for a good way to get into the mood of the party, take a break between scenes and talk to others.
…
If at all possible create two dungeon spaces. If there is a fairly accessible, open play area where people can easily watch what is going on, and where there is an unwritten understanding that this a good place for the lighter stuff, where a sense of fun and humor is acceptable, and where a newcomer to the scene will be less likely to be scared off, then there could also be a more private, intimate space where the serious players can do their stuff. If people do want to watch what is going on in the heavier space, then they should be prepared to be unobtrusive, so as not to disturb the experiences that the players are working to achieve.
And so forth.
