HOW TO GET READY

WHAT TO LEAVE AT HOME

  • Please shower and get clean, but please refrain from using any anti-perspirants, deodorants, colognes, or other scented products so that we can enjoy connecting with each other with all of our senses.

Clothing is optional at all times. In fact, if you feel like leaving all or most of your clothes at the front door with your phones, keys, and other things, feel free!

Wear as little or as much as excites you (underwear, fully clothed, or birthday suit). Our friendly greeter will show you where to put any belongings you would like to leave behind at the door.

Other FUN FAQ's

Men's Erotic Temple Play Space

Please Visit our Full Event Page & Original Invitation for a refresher on what prompted you to register for this event. We're also repeating some fun FAQ's from that page, right here...

Will there be guys there like me? No, there's no one in the world just like you!

You know what I mean...will there be guys who are fit like me, fat like me, thin like me, black like me, old like me, young like me...? There will be all kinds of excited, eager men there! ALL kinds!

What if I don't feel sexual? The #1 rule is "No one has to do anything here!". Once we're complete with our opening circle and demo, if you feel like sitting down, meditating, walking around and watching, or even reading a book for the rest of theevent, there's a place for you here. You'll probably be surprised how excited you feel when you realize that you absolutely don't have to do anything here! This is a place to put aside notions of "performance," and open to liberation and celebration.

What if I don't find anyone attractive? You can always leave at anytime, but if you're not finding anyone attractive, we suggest you might enjoy giving yourself pleasure. This temple play space represents an opportunity to broaden the spectrum of what we may (or may not) find "sexy" and to see if we might discover what it feels like to ask for what we really want, say "no" to what we don't want, and--ultimately--to find a source of sexiness and excitement in ourselves that is always there for us to enjoy, independently of what anyone else looks like, says, or does.

What if no one finds me attractive? You can always leave at anytime, but if it seems like no one wants to play with you, we might suggest you start looking for every way you can find to pleasure yourself. This temple play space is an opportunity to see if we might discover what it feels like to ask for what we really want, say "no" to what we don't want, and--ultimately--to find a source of sexiness and excitement in ourselves that is always there for us to enjoy, independently of what anyone else says or does.

But you said there's no sucking, fucking, or cumming! What's left to do, and why would anyone want to come to a play party like THAT? The men who are coming to this temple play space are men who are READY for something overtly exciting and new, beyond our wildest dreams. There's a WEALTH of wonderful, life-giving, whole-body engagement for men who are willing to put aside old agendas and open to whole-body ecstatic pleasure. Allow us to guide you...

Can I bring poppers? No, sorry. Some people don't want to smell them, and there's always the risk of spilling them, which would be really unfortunate for the host. Besides, they're a substance, and we're experimenting with accessing the natural source of ecstatic pleasure and oneness that is available to all of us, at all times.
