Before you go
- Arriving
New members must attend a free orientation (held Tuesdays at 5 p.m., Thursdays at 6:30 p.m., or Saturdays at 4:30 p.m.) before attending parties; some events bundle orientation with the party itself. Bring a physical legal ID to all in-person events.
- First visit
The club's own website emphasizes that it may take time to build trust and meet compatible people; don't expect to fulfill all fantasies on a first visit. Attend orientation sessions and start with social events if parties feel intimidating.
- At the door
All in-person events require a physical legal ID for entry.
- Facilities
The club's own website notes that masks (N95/KN95 or equivalent) are highly recommended and provided at all in-person events, though voluntary as of February 2024 unless specified otherwise for a particular event.

About Center For Sex Positive Culture
The Center for Sex Positive Culture is a volunteer-run nonprofit community center in Seattle founded in 1999, hosting a mix of play parties, social events, workshops, and discussion groups for adults exploring sexuality and kink. A night here typically involves themed parties—ranging from dance and socializing to BDSM play and sensation work—with trained staff present, strict consent culture, and a membership model that requires attending a new member orientation first. The venue suits curious couples, singles, and experienced community members seeking a judgment-free space; the overwhelming majority of reviews praise the welcoming, safety-conscious atmosphere, though a few report feeling excluded by existing social dynamics or uncomfortable with how others interpreted consent.
Most reviewers emphasize how seriously the organization takes consent and community care, describing it as a place where you can genuinely be yourself around like-minded people. The nonprofit structure and long history create a foundation of trust, and the range of recurring events—from the queer-focused LaQueer party to the littles-focused F'in Precious—means there's something for different interests and comfort levels.
If you value open-minded community, clear boundaries, and a noncommercial approach to sexuality, this is a strong choice. The main caveat is that like any established community, existing friend groups exist; new arrivals occasionally find the social landscape cliquish or encounter judgment from other attendees about how they play, though the organization itself is emphatic about consent and safety.
- Who goes
- Diverse adults ranging from curious newcomers to experienced kink enthusiasts, mostly local Seattle residents, couples and singles of all genders and orientations.
- How opinion has moved
- Opinion has remained consistently very positive over the decade of reviews, with recent feedback (2024–2026) emphasizing consent culture and inclusivity, while older reviews (2013–2016) focused more on the nonprofit mission and community-building aspects.
What guests love
- The organization is very big on consent and safety, with trained staff overseeing activities and a culture that prioritizes respect and communication.
- The community is genuinely welcoming and attracts lovely, like-minded people who are open-minded and nonjudgmental.
- It is a nonprofit 501(c)(7) membership organization run by volunteers, meaning it exists to serve members rather than make profit, creating a unique and trustworthy environment.
- There is a wide variety of themed parties and events catering to different interests and comfort levels, from queer-focused socials to specialty play parties.
- Members report feeling able to be themselves, make real friends, and explore their sexuality in a supportive environment.
- The organization has a two-decade track record of creating and maintaining a sex-positive community with integrity and care.
What guests complain about
- Some attendees have felt that other members or guests have overstepped by questioning or policing someone's consensual play or choices, despite clear consent being given.
- Existing friend groups and social hierarchies can make newcomers feel somewhat excluded or on the outside of established circles.
- A small minority found specific parties underwhelming or felt the crowd was not to their taste.
- Like any community, there are occasional interpersonal conflicts and „politics“ among long-term members.

Very big on consent and safety, very lovely people and a great place to be yourself and make friends.
I've only had negative to neutral experiences. The neutral experiences were all when things were pre-planned with others. I've had people attempt to police play here, like having had others claim I didn't consent to things somebody was doing to me (I did consent), and overall just ignore me saying I did consent because of their opinions or issues with what is being done with or to me. Idk, I'd rather just make plans…
Super fun! Attended the F'in Precious event, met lots of awesome people, had a great time socializing and felt incredibly welcomed!
Hey reasons, my wife and I want to go to this place, we are the first, what do you recommend?
Love the CSPC and eagerly bought my membership. Lots of cool people but like any Community there are politics. Knowledgeable and safe people are there and it is a wonderful place to explore your sexuality. Yes there are the pervs, creeps and politics but that's the exception not the norm.
Sex Positive says it all. It is a not for profit 501c(7) membership organization. Described in a welcome orientation as a "Kinky Elks Club."
I attended their OMG SX party after my orientation. I have never been to a more dull party in my life. The participants were ugly and cliqueish. I will not go back.
The Center for Sex Positive Culture offers members and their guests a place to gather and celebrate the many benefits of sexuality is all its forms. Offerings include educational events, workshops, and discussion groups open to the public, a publicly-circulating library, and social, dance, and play parties open to members and their guests. Free New Member Orientations are held Tues at 5p, Thurs at 6:30p, and Sat at 4…
