SPANK! Halloween Edition

Almost everyone has incorporated spanking in some form into their kinky bag of tricks. SPANK! is a pansexual celebration of that erotic art of spanking - from sensual sensation play to butt-blistering beatings, and everything in between. While spanking is the focus of the night, only your imagination can limit the kind of fun you can have at the Bay Area’s hottest (and spookiest) spanking party!

Halloween is our favorite time of year - and there is no better time to dress up and indulge in some kinky impact play! Throw on your sexiest or most spooktacular costume and head on down to SPANK!

Bring your creativity, your energy, your awesome self. This party is a perfect way to celebrate your love of spanking at a fun party. See old friends, make new ones, and play the night away at SPANK!

• Spooky Ice-breakers to help you connect.

Connect:

We will have ice-breaker stickers at the party and you can also make new connections by meeting and chatting with others who are coming to this party ahead of time by seeing who else is coming to SPANK! by scrolling down to the attendees list.

Play:

A small dungeon already exists at the location and we will be bringing in more pieces for guests to play on. Enjoy the kinky furniture - or get creative and show us how else you might use the space. The cottage has soft spaces for sexual play and we will be creating non-sexual cuddle areas for ace folks, aftercare, etc. Weather permitting - we will also be setting up some play stations in the courtyard.

Dress Code

It’s Halloween so we encourage you to dress up - make an effort to impress and you may just win a prize! Scary or sexy costumes, lingerie, or fetishwear are always welcome as are dungeon blacks. If nothing else comes to mind then dress as you would for a fancy night out. You can be kinky, subversive, etc. No street clothes, etc.

The Venue

The backdrop to your hair-raising and lip-biting Halloween will be an eclectic, sexy and well established party venue in Oakland. The venue features distinct, indoor and outdoor play/social areas, multiple working restrooms, a coat-check and a plethora of play stations. This is the first time that AfterDark will be using this venue - so come and be part of this ongoing popup dungeons experiment and show us what kind of fun you can get up to!
