LOS ANGELES — BDSM playspace and community center Sanctuary LAX will host a fundraiser party Friday night, starting at 8 p.m. (PDT), to fund its pending move to a new location.
„The party is a kinky take on the classic bachelor auction,“ a rep said. „Volunteers fill out questionnaires about kinks and interests and put themselves up for auction for the night. Everyone attending gets ‚play money‘ to bid on volunteers for the auction. Winning bidders get to play with their human prizes for the night. Everyone is encouraged to participate, but participation is not required to attend the party. Guests who prefer to attend and simply play with a partner, or just watch, are welcome. There is no sex or penetration at this party. Everything is negotiated, consensual and for fun.“
Sanctuary Studios LAX is „well-known as one of the biggest BDSM spaces in Southern California, and has held up well, even through the COVID pandemic,“ the rep noted. „As the name suggests, Sanctuary has served the LGBTQ+, BDSM and leather communities as a safe space for over 20 years. This location has hosted many parties, movie shoots, concerts, classes and other events. It has been no secret that changes in the real estate and mortgage market have prompted Sanctuary LAX to move; the time to change locations has come.“
Founder and owner Mistress Cyan noted Sanctuary LAX will soon reopen in its new location.
„But this is our last month here,“ Cyan added. „That is why we have decided to make this event a fundraiser to help with the cost of relocation.“
Events will continue to be hosted at the current location until Sunday, July 24.
The rep noted Friday’s party is „a fully vaccinated event.“ Attendees must show ID and proof of vaccination at the door. Click here for tickets and additional details and follow Sanctuary LAX on Twitter.
