About

AfterDark Events describes itself as “a POC, femme, queer, neurodivergent, and disabled led group” that organizes kink and alternative-sexuality events around the San Francisco Bay Area. It runs pop-up parties, most often at Stopgap in SoMa and at Paradox, along with workshops and jams, and says its parties typically draw 100 to 200 people. Parties are usually themed and have distinct areas for socializing, dancing, kink and aftercare. At Stopgap the ground floor has social areas and an accessible play space, and the basement dungeon holds crosses, spanking benches, bondage furniture and cages. Condoms, lube, paper towels and clean linens are supplied, food and drinks are provided, and spaces are open, with no private rooms. Guests must be 18 or older with valid ID. Single men are welcome without a date, and the club says people can come with a partner, with friends or alone. Tickets are sold through Forbidden Tickets, and the exact address goes to ticket holders. Parties are drug and alcohol free, phones stay out of sight, and photography is not allowed. Dress is open, from formal to fetish wear, and house rules require consent that is “voluntary, informed, and enthusiastic” and ban breath play and open flame.
