Edmonton O Society

Edmonton O Society says “we are primarily an Educational Group.” It is an unincorporated BDSM society in Edmonton whose members are unpaid volunteers, and its own pages call it Edmonton’s oldest BDSM group. Members and visitors meet twice monthly in a casual social setting, and it states it is not a dating service, escort agency or swingers’ club. Munches are social meet-and-greets normally held in a public restaurant or lounge where only adults are allowed, and workshops cover safety and health practices, new skills and toy-building sessions. It has historically not put on play parties itself. Members have access to a library of BDSM books, DVDs and tapes. Membership is open to adults of good character with a genuine interest in erotic BDSM, whether single or partnered and of any sexual orientation. Applicants should attend at least two munches and complete an orientation before the Board considers them. At munches, street clothes are the dress, real names are optional, and attendees must keep who was there and what was said private. It follows the credo “Safe, Sane & Consensual.”
