about sensualitea
The fwb classic. Join the community for an exploration of the full spectrum of eroticism. While this is a sex-possible event, we encourage sensory play, sensual touch, massage, and other forms of pleasure and play.
This event is a Quickie: starts at 8, doors lock at 9, and everyone out by 12. This is a sober event. We serve delicious tea and other snacks and goodies.
All attendees must be approved FWB members. Unapproved guests will be turned away at the door.

What's your phone policy?
You must check in your phone(s) with one of our hosts. We will place your phone in a mylar bag in a bin for the privacy and presence of all our guests. Please ensure your phone is off or set to do not disturb. We discourage checking phones during social time, but if you must check your phone before doors lock, you may check it at the front desk and promptly return it to our staff.
Once doors have locked, there are no phones allowed. If you need to check your phone, you will be asked to leave the event.

What is accessibility at the clubhouse?
The building is ADA accessible. The space is on the third floor and there is an elevator. Note for people with wheelchairs, canes, other walking assistance devices: the tile of the lobby floor is uneven so be careful navigating, and the bathroom is not ADA compliant.
This is a low-scent event: no perfume, cologne, or essential oils.
If you have a latex allergy, please email us at friends@fwb.events so we can ensure to remove any latex products in the play space and ask our participants to leave their latex products at home.
How can I safely participate in play?
Once play time begins (we'll make that clear), and if you feel inspired, you can make your way to the play area.
We practice active consent at fwb, which means affirmative, honest, conscious, voluntary, sober and ongoing agreement to participate in play.
In practice, it means:
- Clearly communicate your boundaries, wants and needs.
- Always ask for consent before touching anyone or doing anything. That can look like, "I would love to give you a massage. Are you open to that?" and "Is it ok if I touch your hair?" and "Are there any places you don't like being touched?" etc
- Disclose your STI status and discuss risk tolerance with partners. (more on how to have safer sex conversations below!)
- Always verbalize your consent (a clear "yes" or "no").
- If you’re unsure where someone stands, ask them. Check-ins are welcomed and encouraged!
- Accept rejection with grace and empathy. Rejection is a part of life and it can be very hard to say "no" - be kind to yourself and others when it happens.
- If someone gives you a "no," do not approach them again or pressure them in any way.
- In exploring new things, we may not always know how we feel until we try it. It's always ok to change your mind, ask for a break, or stop at any point.
- Don’t leave marks unless you ask for permission beforehand.
- We’re a kink friendly space, but not kink focused. Sensory play and light kink is allowed and encouraged, but edge play (heavy impact play, piss, blood, scat, fire, flame, sploshing, weapons, etc) is not allowed. If you're unsure, please check-in with our host.
- House safe word is "Red." If someone says this, all play with them must stop immediately.
- Be respectful of personal space.
All kinds of sex are welcome. It's totally ok to be in the play space and just watch (hey, exhibitionists want and need an audience!)
If you need to report a problem, seek help, or ask a question, please find one of our hosts.
Are you a dungeon?
Nope! We think of ourselves as a sensual space and erotic community. While we allow some light impact play at some of our events, we are not a kink-centered space.
community health and safety
We require all attendees to test for COVID before you arrive. No need to send results - we use the honor system. If you are feeling sick, were recently exposed to someone who is sick, or test positive, we ask that you stay home to help us keep our community safe and healthy. We will provide you credit for a future event.
We advocate for safer sex practices at fwb. We aim to foster a culture where people openly discuss sexual health and practice informed consent. Do not refer to negative STI results as “clean.” Don’t make jokes about STIs or people with them. Decide your risk tolerance when engaging in play and communicate your STI status and safer sex preferences with any potential partners. If someone discloses a positive STI result, do not shame or disparage them.
We offer barriers of all kinds (dental dams, condoms, finger condoms, gloves) if your preference is to avoid any fluid exchange.
We provide black wristbands to people who have shared negative STI results for HIV 1 & 2, , chlamydia, and gonorrhea from the past 30 days. You can email, text, telegram, or share your results in person with staff at the event to receive your wristband.
