Pørn, Cake & Rituals for a (Better) New Year

This is an event for those of us who want to have a cozy, relaxed, and intentional start for their New Year’s Eve in a queer and sex-positive* environment.

We will cozy up to watch some queer pørn, eat cake and do New Year’s magic. You can also browse books, drink tea or coffee and just chill out.

This is not a jam but some floor tying and light kink (by light we mean not super noisy) are welcome.

Show up sober and wear the perfect mix of fabulous and comfy so we can all feel relaxedly festive together!

The event is

QUEER

SAFER

SEX-POSITIVE*

*Sex-positive in this context means that all kinds of sexualities and sexual expressions are celebrated. As this is not a play party, we are limiting sexual and sensual interactions to pants on and no genital touching.

Who is this event for?

LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid,

Friends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.

When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgment to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.

Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
