About Threshold Society

Threshold Society is a non-profit BDSM and kink education and play facility in Los Angeles, operating since 1982 as a members-only club in a warehouse district setting. The club's own website describes it as pansexual, LGBTQIA+ friendly, and dedicated to exploration in a safe, sane, informed, and consensual way. Guests must be accompanied by a member, and events range from themed parties to intimate sessions and educational classes, with attentive staff monitoring for safety and consent.
A typical night involves a mix of social interaction, scenes, and play across multiple themed rooms, with an aftercare space available. The atmosphere emphasizes consent culture and community safety, though the experience varies significantly depending on whether you arrive with connections or alone. Most visitors report excellent facilities, thoughtful scene setups, and genuine care from staff.
The venue suits experienced players and curious newcomers alike, though solo first-timers without member connections may find it challenging to break in. Overall, reviews are overwhelmingly positive—the vast majority praise it as a premier space—though a small minority felt isolated without existing social ties.
- Who goes
- Mostly couples and some singles aged 20s to 40s, predominantly locals; members-only with guests accompanying members.
- How opinion has moved
- Opinion has remained consistently strong, with recent 2026 reviews echoing the praise from earlier years, though a 2023 review highlighted social barriers for unconnected newcomers.
What guests love
- Staff members called dungeon monitors are attentive, alert, and genuinely aware of what is happening during scenes.
- The facility offers excellent equipment including rope suspension rigs, multiple play rooms, and thoughtfully designed spaces for different activities.
- Safety and consent are taken seriously, with a clear culture of enthusiastic consent and established safewords.
- An aftercare room is available for guests to recover and receive support after intense scenes or play.
- Educational classes and events provide accessible entry for people new to the BDSM and kink community.
- The space is versatile and can accommodate everything from intimate sessions to larger gatherings and special events.
What guests complain about
- Arriving solo without knowing members can feel isolating, and the social community may be harder to access without existing connections.
- The strict no-phone policy, while protecting privacy, means attendees must leave devices covered and out of reach even for emergencies.

I enjoy this private members only (guests must be accompanied by a member) club everytime i go. DMs are usually alert, and aware. The crowd is typically aged 20s, 30s, with a small number of 40s+.
If Entropy Abides, then Threshold is a multifaceted gradient. Step inside and do the work. Effort is agency, and your future self bears the onus. Here, consent is enthusiastic; no is a complete sentence, and red is always the safeword. Subversive surprises await.
As always, a wonderful place, a fantastic time!!!
Threshold is not a welcoming place. If you are looking for a community or people to play with or friends, you won't find it there. Threshold might be a fun place for people to take their friends, but it's nothing more than that. If you don't know anyone there, it's a bad time. I kept going to events, hoping it would get better. I became a member. But in the end, Threshold is just a building with some stuff in it, not…
IYKYK. Parking is average warehouse district setup, but fills up quickly depending on the gathering.
Members only events! This nonprofit hosts some great parties as well as educational classes. If you're looking for a safe way to get into the BDSM community, this is a good first step! Also great for experienced players and pickup play
Excellent space to rent and to adventure. I was able to explore on a more intimate level during a suspension rope shoot and I have to say this space truly offers everything and so much more! They have an aftercare room! I love all the chairs and not to mention the amazing rig set up and of course the cell! Super cool space most definitely recommend checking it out! So thankful for the safety and care during tonight's…
