Spank Jam - Scare Me! Thrills, Chills, and Impact Play

An AfterDark Impact Workshop Presented by NyxieNoc

Step right up for a SpankJam unlike any other. In the spirit of October, we are turning the dungeon into a funhouse of sensation. “Scare Me!” is all about creating impact scenes that don’t just sting, they thrill. Together we’ll explore how to use fear, suspense, and surprise as tools for intensifying play.

Expect sensory deprivation, sudden sounds, eerie timing, and devilish misdirection designed to make our demo bottom tremble, squeal, and laugh nervously like they’ve just stepped onto a carnival ride. Think rollercoaster drops, funhouse mirrors, and the delightful anticipation of not knowing what comes next.

This session is a mix of playful spookiness and serious technique - showing how to safely weave fear and tension into your impact repertoire, and how to balance terror with trust. Come ready for tricks, treats, and a few delicious scares.

Doors open at 6:30 PM and close at 9:30PM.

Where:

The exact venue address will be sent to ticket holders only for privacy and safety reasons, but it is in SoMa. For planning purposes it is a 10 minute walk from the UN Plaza/Civic Center BART station.

Stopgap is San Francisco’s premier venue for impact play - steeped in history and beloved by the kink community. The fully accessible first floor offers social and play spaces. Below, the 3,100-square-foot basement is filled with iconic equipment, including crosses, benches, bondage chairs, and cages. Many pieces were recovered from the Citadel’s lost storage unit and hold a special place in the hearts of longtime community members. With its historic charm and ample space, Stopgap is the perfect impactful environment for creating memorable experiences.
