Topic Area I: BDSM Overview: A welcoming, non-threatening way for people to learn more about BDSM and the local central Florida BDSM community. We will go over a lot of the basics of what it is that we do: including what we do and why we do it. We will cover: basic terminology; basic info about the various roles & relationship types available in the lifestyle; basic communication issues & skills; SM vs Abuse; Universal party etiquette; getting started in impact and sensation play; finding someone to do bondage or SM, a “play partner”; and the basics of scene negotiation, Safe Words, and Aftercare.

• When: 3rd Wednesday
• Time: 6 - 9 PM

✭ Topics ✭
We have three Topic Areas that will be offered on a revolving three month schedule.NOTE: You do not need to attend the meetings in order as each Topic Area will be self sustaining and will present the materials in various formats each time they occur. This will make it possible for everyone to keep attending to learn more about the various areas throughout the year.

✭ Who can attend:
1. New people which means:
~ a) anyone who is new to the lifestyle
~ b) anyone who is interested in adding to their current knowledge about WIITWD ("What It Is That We Do").
2. RSVP's will be required prior to "Newbie Night ~ Ocala!" (minimum of 2-days prior is requested, more is preferred) this is so that the venue can be informed about how many people to expect.

You may wish to bring a cushion or perhaps a pillow to sit on. Like a lot of BBQ restaurants, the "tables" are picnic tables and the seat part does not have cushioning.

For those of you on FetLife, the Event Post to RSVP can be found here.
