BLISS – An All Black Play Party

On Saturday, April 12th join us for BLISS: A Night of All-Black Connection, Sensuality, and Joy. Come thru for soulful community, spicy connections, kinky games, pleasure, and play.

BLISS is a judgment-free, consent-first event centering the sex-positive Black community. To attend, you must have at least one birth parent who is Black* or Afro-diasporic and was perceived and treated as a Black person in the US or other similar country context.

*We define Black folks as people of African descent living across the diaspora who have lived experiences as a racial minority in the United States.

We welcome people representing every sexual preference, gender expression, and body type, and with all levels of experience - from totally new and curious, to seasoned players. BLISS is your space to explore, engage, and exhale. Please note this event is for folks aged 25 and up.

Dress Code: Sexy, Liberated, Black, Queer. Do it up Boo!

Vetting: Many of us have been in spaces where we felt judged as not Black enough. For our interests, our sexuality, our relationship structures. As organizers we’ve been there and have no desire to experience it again. Our goal is to create a space that prioritizes our culture, our comfort, and our sensual freedom. The vetting process is one way that we intentionally bring people into our community who share our goals around creating a sexy, pro-Black space who are committed to building a thriving community.

Three ways to get vetted:

1. Registering for the BLISS Zoom orientation aka “Who All Gon’ Be There” on Thursday, April 3rd from 7:30 - 8:00 pm.

2. OR watching the Zoom orientation and attending BLISS by the Lake mixer on Saturday, March 29th from 12 – 3pm.

3. OR watching the orientation and scheduling a 10-minute vetting call by Thursday, April 10.

Start by filling out THIS FORM to get on the path to BLISS.

After you’ve been vetted, you’ll receive a unique ticket link that you can use to purchase a ticket to BLISS.

Health and safety: We are committed to creating a safe and consensual environment for all. We do this two ways. 1) We ask that you administer a covid rapid antigen test on the day of the party. You can present a time stamped photo of the test you took at home, bring your own covid test to take on site, or buy a covid test at the door. If you will be taking a test on site, please wear a mask when you arrive. 2) We will have party members who will be there for emotional, physical, and mental support, should you need to take a beat with our designated platonic pals.

BOOCLUB (Black Orgy Organizing Committee for Liberation, Unity, and Bliss) is an all-Black group of sex-positive folks that got together to create this event because we were tiredt of the lack of all-Black spaces in the Bay Area play community. We all volunteer our time to put this together for the love of community, so please be patient with our response time. For questions, please reach out to: revolutionwillnotbefetishized@gmail.com
