🔥 An Explosive Night of Impact Play at Threshold 🔥

POW! The crack of a paddle meeting its mark.

STING! The sharp kiss of a whip against bare skin.

THUD! The deep, resonating force of a heavy strike.

At Threshold, we’re bringing the full spectrum of impact to life in a night where every strike, smack, and slap tells a story. Whether you crave the sharp sting of a cane, the rhythmic thud of a flogger, or the deep satisfaction of a well-placed spank, this is the event to let your body feel the impact.

ABOUT

Threshold is Mission Control's kinkiest party. It's a place to unleash your dominant side, go deep into submission, explore restraints, role-play, and experiment with kinky toys. Whether you're a BDSM-curious newbie or a veteran with a toy bag who knows how to play, Threshold is a great place for exploration and kinky play. Our community gathers every other month at Mission Control, where Allies (our dues paying members) play for free.

We start each event with a playshop or demonstration where iconic fetish personalities come to share their knowledge with us. If the topic of the playshop doesn't tickle your fancy, don't worry, you can arrive after it ends and just enjoy the party. Each event brings a new focus which guests can then explore in our Fun-geon upstairs… and we are expanding the fun into the gazebo and creating a whole new Fun-geon space!

Threshold is the place where our community explores the deeply erotic world of BDSM and Dark Tantra. Pleasure and pain. Intense sensations. Power play. As with all Mission Control events, Threshold is built on a foundation of consent and responsible play.

Threshold is an all inclusive gender space. Any individuals who identifies as a woman, female, man, male, genderqueer, gender fluid, trans masculine, trans feminine, transgender and others with identities beyond the binary sex or gender spectrum are welcome, including all sexualities, sexual orientations, and sexual expressions.
