Ready to dance around the May Pole? After all the dance is a fertility rite, the pole….well you can just guess what that symbolizes, and the baskets at the end of white streamers emanating from the tip doesn’t take all that much imagination, does it?

If you think that dancing naked to celebrate human sexuality is just what the doctor ordered, then you just might be interested in many of the other wonderfully human ways to get to know people and get to know yourself. And if the only dancing you are interested in is that done by a luscious bottom at the end of a single tail (or just wonder what a single tail is), perhaps the kink world might offer a way to find out.

How to get started? Come on in to the Society of Janus’ Newbie Only Coffee Social (NOCS). We’re meeting this month on the evening of the second Monday, May 14. (Two weeks after this year’s May Pole dance but it will give you a bunch of time to practice before the next one). We start at 7 PM.

It’s hard enough for some people bring kink into their lives. Here at Society of Janus, our goal is to make entry into BDSM a safe and stress free experience. As leaders in the BDSM community, it’s our job and our pleasure!!. We want to know what you need and how we can help.

Join us by coming on Wednesday, September 7th from 7-9pm. RSVP your interest to orientation@soj.org

See you there!
With Anna (Welcoming Director)
Orientation for September for Marc and Pilar

Are you new? We are too!

So you're new to kink and have questions. Everyone does.

• Maybe you've always been curious about the kink/BDSM scene but you'd like some support while you explore.
• Maybe you want to talk to people who have an idea of what you're going through.
• Maybe you just want to meet a few friendly faces before your first kink class or event.

Come to the Newbie Only Coffee Social!

Join Virginia (the Janus Mentoring Director) and Jeremy (the Janus Welcoming Director) with other new folks on the fourth Monday evenings of the month.

The 39th SF Pride Parade is underway and we're a part of it! The Leather Contingent is the 138th group to march out of 210! Pretty amazing to see so many folks supporting equality for us all. We'll send updates via our Society of Janus Twitter feed as we start to march. And visit us at the Pride Celebration today at Civic Center -- we're part of Leather Alley. Happy Pride!
