You know that feeling when you meet a hot queer and you can’t tell if you want to kiss them, go directly to the U-Haul rental, or stay up all night talking about a shared interest? Queer relationships can be deliciously fluid, defying categorization.

Just in time for Folsom Street Fair 2025, @GreenMir and @impossiblepain bring you a speed friending/ dating/ whatever for kinky queers who want to meet other kinky queers. We’ll provide a lighthearted, low-stakes atmosphere with conversation starters in case you find yourself tongue-tied by the beautiful queers before you. You bring an open mind, adventurous spirit (this can be aspirational), and a bottle of water to stay hydrated. At the end of the evening, drop a note and your contact info into the mailboxes of the cuties you want to connect with, and see what unfolds!

Queer, trans, and questioning kinksters of all genders and kinky proclivities are welcome. There will be no kinky play at this event — save that for the weekend!

PRESENTERS:

Miriam Green is a kink educator and coach with over twenty years’ experience in the public BDSM scene as a participant, educator, house top, party host and former gear-slinger. Mir owns Wicked Grounds, a kink and sex-positive education business to help playful people find and traverse their kink journeys. Mir is not, in fact, an extrovert -- but will have you fooled by the end of the night!

impossiblepain is an impact switch, a gleeful sadist, and an accomplished masochist. They have been playing publicly with consensual violence since 2014. impossiblepain enjoys kink instruction that makes safe, creative, and whimsical play feel accessible to anyone.
