Locating Sex-Positive Communities and Resources BDSM Play Parties, Socials, and Classes First, take a look at the Society of Janus organization list and the Submission.net organization list. These are usually easy to find, and most cities will have at least one of them. Start by looking through the CruisingForSex listings, and if you have a copy of it then also check through the Damron Men's Travel Guide . Polyamory Start by looking through the polyamory.org networking guide and the Polyamory Society Guide . If you don't find any poly organizations but find a poly e-mail list for your area, then subscribe to it and see if anything new has popped up that hasn't yet been included on the polyamory.org listing.
Many people prefer the private clubs, which offer their members much more comfort and privacy.
If I were writing a resource guide for a particular city, I would make a point of mentioning this to avoid potential confusion and misunderstanding. If a local publication exists, then chances are it will contain a resource listing that will give you all the information you might need. Failing this, you could check the index of gay and lesbian community centers , or printed copies of Damron Men's Travel Guide 2001 and Damron Women's Traveller 2001 . I would also check to see if there's an active chapter of Radical Faeries in the area. Bi Resources Fist, check for local organizations on the biresource.org site and the bisexual.org site.
