Hello lovelies,

We have some unexpected changes as we head into June. Tomorrow's class with Lady Euphoria will be the last event she's hosting with us. Come say goodbye at one of the most fun hands-on workshops we offer. This also means we're seeking a NEW teacher and host to work with us on multiple events per month. If you know a queer domme superstar who may be a fit for the gig, please connect us! Looking to create a residency with a professional ready to take off to their next level.

Upcoming events (scroll down for full invites):

- Tomorrow! Wed 5.28 - Bedroom Badass with Lady Euphoria ($0-30, open to non-members) - Sensation Play, a deeper dive. It's a huge topic, and we wanted to offer you a lot more than the basics. Prior experience or previous class not required, and yes, you'll get to actually try things.

- Thur 6.5 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to non-members) - New month, new mixer! This is the place to start if you've never been and are curious! Come meet the colorful HoS fam, and ask all the questions you need to ask about how this all works.

- Fri 6.13 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - next level of stepping into a FUN lifestyle for all genders and orientations. Low stakes, lots of fun. And yes, you can just stick to kissing your partner...but you'll probably have more fun if you step out of your comfort zone. Spin that bottle or stack that Jenga, and see what happens.

- Sat 6.14 - Brooklyn Pride! We're applying to do a booth again, and will probably keep the Loft open for afters. Reach out if you want to host anything with us that evening -- games? crafting? bring your queer social group for a no-cost meet-up? We'd love to cross-pollinate with other BK rainbow folk.

- Fri 6.20 - Fierce! Queer dance party ($0-10, open to non-members) - what better time to dance than Pride month? Come shake those rainbow sequins.

- Sat 6.21 - G&S returns with their annual Sea Creature Stomp brass band party! Details TK, as bands are being confirmed.

- Fri 6.27 - Dark DecaDance ($0-20, open to non-members) - sometimes queers prefer black to rainbow...though if there ever was a time to go pastel goth, June is the month!

- Sat 6.28 - Countdown: pansexual play party ($0-50, members only) - it all culminates here, at the most wholesome play party in town.

June date TBA - Sinema Club: exploring gender & sexuality on screen ($0-10, open to non-members)

The most thrilling experiences in life engage multiple senses. Tap into this deep well by developing your sensory play skills. In part one, we spoke about the senses, erogenous zones and body mapping. Now let's learn how to layer sensations strategically! We'll talk about sensory play from an experimental approach, using thresholds to create a sensitivity profile and crafting a sensory scene that considers both thresholds and curiosities. We'll discuss the differences between stimulating many senses versus removing or dampening the senses. Participants will get a chance to explore different tools and activities to see what sensations fit their play styles and scene goals. We'll consider pace and body awareness as keys for crafting a buildable sensory play scene.

Topics covered:
- Safety considerations for the different senses
- Common sensation activities
- Sensitivity profiles, thresholds and the spectrum of experiencing
- How to layer complimentary sensations
- Sensory overload vs. sensory deprivation
- Exploring sensory tools and gadgets safely

All BB classes are a mixture of lecture, hands-on experience, and dedicated Q&A time. After class, stay for dedicated practice & play time to help you solidify your skills, while our teacher remains available for guidance. Class and practice are in the main space, while the bar lounge is open 7pm-12am if you want to arrive early or leave late -- or just need a break. Always BYO practice items, where relevant, though we will always have a selection on hand.

Our teacher: Lady Euphoria Sol is a Transformational Lifestyle & Professional Dominatrix, BDSM Educator, Coach and Ritualist. Her work centers inner exploration, shadow work and energetics in pursuit of Euphoria. She is most recently known for her role as former founding headmistress and curator of 7 Days of Domination, a quarterly week-long series of educational kink talks from worldwide BDSM experts.

Bedroom Badass is our series of workshops to take couples and individuals through various steps in opening up their relationships, or in exploring more adventurous sexual experiences. Whether you're a total novice or an old pro, each class has a range of information relevant to all experience levels.

*Bedroom Badass happens on the second (beginner) and fourth (advanced) Wednesday of each month

**HoS rules: HoS membership, dress code, PAL or prior approval not required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.

***Plus: House of Scorpio Clubhouse
Whatever your membership level, you are invited to use our space as your clubhouse for the night. While the ticketed activities take place in the main space, the bar area remains open 7pm-11pm (12am if enough people are lounging). Just like with regular events, if you're Friend level and above, you can bring up to two friends with you. Order in dinner, have a few drinks, run a friendly board game, or just read a book on your own. This is not a mixer -- just us opening our doors for our members. It's up to you how much you socialize, if at all, and with whom.

COVID safety: HoS requires proof of vaccination on file; masks encouraged; two hospital grade UV air purifiers cycle the air.

Taste The Rainbow: sex-positive kinky poly LGBTQ+ mixer

Thursday June 5, 7pm-12am, 21+ (25+ suggested)
For existing & prospective HoS members; members: $0 / non-members: $10
Gemini & Scorpio Loft, 267 Douglass St, 3rd fl (ADA accessible)

Official info & house rules: http://www.houseofscorpio.com/events.html

We get asked all the time how people can join HoS if they are shy, don't have like-minded friends, lack PALs for play parties, have no idea how this whole thing works, don't feel like jumping into sexy activity but want to connect to open-minded humans, etc. This party is the answer!

Calling all LGBTQIA+, poly, kink, swinger and other "alternative" dating/sex/gender-aligned humans and their allies. We're creating a protected and judgment-free space for connections, conversations, community, games and interactivity. This is the key HoS event open to non-members. Come meet us before you join!

For those of you new to it all: direct introductions to HoS members new and old; facilitated discussions on poly, kink and swinger lifestyles; icebreaker games to welcome you to our club.

For our regulars: a way to ease new friends into our scene; a chance to meet all the new faces you may want to kiss later; a visit with the community even if your PAL is not around.

For everyone: tabletop and social games, both risqué and plain fun; a charming host to make the introductions and explain all things HoS and sex-positive, and a cozy setting for conversations and future kisses. Our main icebreaker game, HoS Guest Bingo, runs from 7:30pm until we have a winner: get to know everyone in the room, and win a drink if you complete your bingo card.

Miss Scorpio is back hosting the mixer! Come ask her directly anything you want to know about this community. We've been building it for you for 10+ years, and hope to be here for 10+ more.

HoS rules: HoS membership, PAL and dress code not required; no prior approval required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.

COVID safety: HoS requires proof of vaccination on file; masks encouraged; windows will be partially open for ventilation; two hospital grade UV air purifiers will cycle the air.

*Taste The Rainbow happens every first Thursday of the month except when a month starts on Friday (otherwise it would end up the night before Lip Service).

House of Scorpio
presents

Lip Service: pansexual makeout party

Fri June 13*, 9pm-2am, 21+ (25+ suggested), HoS members only**
$0-25 depending on membership level
Gemini & Scorpio Loft, 267 Douglass St, 3rd fl (ADA accessible)

Official info & house rules: http://www.houseofscorpio.com/events.html

PL: https://plra.io/m/lip-service-pansexual-kissing-and-cocktails-party-373
Socials: @gemini_scorpio #houseofscorpio

Bring your luscious lips (yours and your PAL's), and join us for lubricating libations and naughty games with sexy friends and intriguing strangers. Bring toys & games to share (blindfolds? rope? sexy dice?).

Feeling shy or wanting to meet new folks? Come early! Meet our founder, Miss Scorpio. Between 9-10:30pm, Miss S is there to introduce new members to old timers, explain how the whole HoS thing works, and generally make a delightful fuss over your presence.

Think of our makeout parties as R-rated community mixers--a place to get to know your fellow kinksters, introduce a partner to a more playful lifestyle, and maybe even find a future PAL--before attending the more naughty play parties. It's also a way for us to vet you in person for those parties; talk to us at the event.

Dress to be kissed: sexy and fun. Fetish attire, formalwear, lingerie, corsets, tutus and costumes always welcome...and we consider those unisex options (the more colorful and outrageous, the better). No casual or business; door person WILL turn you away -- see Code of Conduct page on our site for more details on the dress code.

*Lip Service happens on the second Friday of every month

**HoS rules: HoS membership, PAL & Dress Code required; no prior approval required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.

COVID safety: HoS requires proof of vaccination on file; masks encouraged; two hospital grade UV air purifiers will cycle the air.
