New to speed dating? Don’t fret. We’ll walk you through everything at the start so you know exactly when to smile, talk, and scoot to the next seat. How does it work? You’ll get 2½ minutes with each partner—just long enough to catch their vibe and exchange a few sparks. Once all the rounds are done, you’ll scribble “love notes” with your contact info to anyone who piqued your interest, slip them into their mailbox, and later pick up whatever notes await you. To keep the evening delightfully organized, tops sit on one side of the table and bottoms on the other. Switches choose their mood or jump in wherever balance is needed. Please arrive on time! Once the dating carousel starts spinning, we can’t add new participants, and we don’t want you missing any potential sparks.

Sanctum: Edge Players Social

04/04/2026, 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Edge play - for the purposes of this social - refers to kink that involves pushing the limits of what is typically considered safe or comfortable in BDSM dynamics, play or scenes. It can involve physical, emotional, or psychological risk, and often explores activities or scenarios that challenge personal boundaries, consensual limits, and may introduce an element of danger or intense sensations. Although rope, needles and heavy impact are definitely types of physical edge play and may be a part of discussions, Sanctum chooses to focus more on unusual types of play that are less commonly seen or educated about as well as the psychological impacts of edge play. This social is meant to be a connective space for those who explore the intense emotional and physical aspects of BDSM edge play. We'll bring some coffee and a few little snacks to share and we look forward to connecting with other edge-identified players!
