Presented by Mistress Viola & head DM/cohost @MaeveMcBride, 50 Shades of STFU is a kinky play party and social event for femdoms and femme tops and the individuals who serve and worship them. We have been home at Sanctuary Club downtown since 2017.

It’s the high heat of summer so this month we encourage you to strip down to your scanty pants & panties, lingerie, bikinis, booty shorts, or other naughty nighties. Show off those skivvies. Sport those cheeky chonies. As always, the theme is encouragement not mandatory but the dress code is (see below).

We will also be holding a “panty drive” for Rahab’s Sisters and donating 10% of proceeds to them. Their mission is to build community through radical hospitality with women and gender-diverse individuals marginalized by gender-based marginalization, poverty, houselessness, sex work, violence, and substance use. We will be accepting new or gently used cosmetics and other beauty products, unopened or individually wrapped toiletries, and new underwear and socks. So bring some stuff to donate if you can!

Tastings are first come first serve and our lists do fill up!

BIPOC folks please reach out to [email protected] for a spot on the guestlist for free entry (or mention the BIPOC free entry policy at the door). If you are experiencing financial hardship or if cost is a barrier please reach out for a spot as well. Otherwise, tix can be purchased at door! $15 all night ($2 Credit Card Fee so bring cash to avoid.)

What happens at this infamous event? The show usually starts around 9pm and we have now added tastings from 8pm-midnight (what are tastings? It’s a first come first serve sign-up sheet for short scenes with experienced dommes).

We aim to create an inclusive space for LGBTQ, pansexual, queer, or straight submissives and their fem tops. If you’re a cis male dom this is really not the event for you. However, if you’re switchy and/or abide by the dress code you are welcome to join us!

Are you looking to get involved, we have some volunteer positions available for both service subs and photo-booth attendants, fill out this form here and we will reach back out for this event or the next!

Playspaces, St. Andrews cross, semi-private areas, spanking benches, and hard points are available.
