The Center for Sex Positive Culture

Welcome to the Center for Sex Positive Culture. The Center is a non-profit, membership-based community center located in Seattle, Washington.

Happy Monday!

Good afternoon!

First a little self-promotion. I'll be speaking at Central Community College on Capital Hill this Tuesday night. What started as me speaking to the Human Sexuality Class has morphed into me speaking to anyone who wants to show up. They are making my presentation available to the rest of the school and to the general public. If you want to see me talk on Alternative Sexuality, drop by Tuesday, October 9 at 6:00 PM, room 1110. I hope to see some of you there.

I don't know about you, but I get a ton of SPAM. Primarily because most of the Center e-mails addresses are directed toward me and since we're a (hush, don't let this get around) sexually focused organization, SPAMMERS seem to gravitate toward us, especially the wetspot.org addresses. And while I've got a great SPAM filter I have to actually look at all the subject lines for all 1000plus daily e-mails that I receive (that's what I said, 1000...four zeros....plus). Since much of my legitimate e-mail is sexual in nature my SPAM filter gobbles it right down. That said, if you don't hear from me in 48 hours, please resend your e-mail. If you put my name in the subject matter (such as attention Allena) I'll notice it when I go through my Junk mail box.

Speaking of e-mail, I am on a lot of lists for clubs and organizations both locally and nationally and I get tons of announcements on cool events happening all over the US. Some of them aren't even about sex, such as one that I saved from my SPAM filter today. Now, this isn't about sex or even anything pertinent to our organization, but the idea of an event like this happening just amuses me to no end (and it's happening in Seattle at The War Room tonight). Drunken Breakdance Competition. And the prize is $1250. I am frankly amazed along with being amused. I wish I could go and check it out. If any of you are so inclined, please let me know if it was as big of a disaster as it sounds.


On to the Items Of Interest for all of you out there.

ALTERNATIVE BUSINESS HAPPY HOUR

Monday , October 22nd

Starts: 5:30 Drop-in till 8:30

The SPITFIRE GRILL: Belltown: 4th & Blanchard

- the back room ­

This event is for kink-friendly folks looking to network their business, service or product. Folks looking to find business people that are kink-friendly are welcome to join us and make some connections.

Hosted by Sierra Kennedy aka "the Massage Freek"

Hi there! This next month the "alt crew" at the Spitfire will do some networking, eating, drinking and probably lots of laughing. We have been

going every month since last November '06. In the month of October, on the 22nd, we will also be having a discussion.

The topic: Freedom!

What does freedom mean to you and what does it mean to you in business? I will facilitate the discussion time and it will start around 630 or 7 ­ depending on how many people are still trickling in at the time. The format will be small group discussion on the topic and then large group discussion on the topic.

The discussion part of the night is totally optional and you can go off to another part of the room and network with some others that I am sure will be there sitting back and chilling out of the discussion.

On a personal note: I would love to have lots of kinksters there to discuss their view of freedom. You guys have unique perspective and I think the business community I run in needs to hear your voices and give you business as well.

This is a monthly event that generally happens every 2nd to last Monday of the month.

In November it will not be on the 2nd To last Monday of the month it will be the very last Monday (the 28th and not the 19th)
