Friction Bondage & Fetish Play Party

Grip the moment at Friction, a pop-up style event focused on bondage, kink, connection, sensuality, and joy. Hosts MxBliss (of Jiffy Kink and Studio Bound) & Shay (of BENT and Twisted Windows) invite you to tie under the stars using our outdoor suspension rigs, roll around in the floorplay area, and explore the intimate corners of our fabulous East Bay venue with a fully equipped dungeon.

At the Friction play party, you can expect icebreakers, performances, and plenty of nooks to play, socialize, or get it on.

Join us for even more fun with an optional/add-on afternoon Jiffy Kink Speed Dating* and a Friction Rope Social preceding the party for folks looking to meet new ropey friends and find play partners.

The venue is in Oakland and we will send the address to ticket holders 24 hours before the event.
