Bottoms' Roundtable

Join us to connect and discuss our shared experiences!

EVENT DESCRIPTION

The goal of this roundtable is to build connection and share knowledge among those who identify as bottoms in the kink community. If you want to discuss vetting, drop, navigating new or old dynamics, this is the place. If you want to enjou a safe space in community with like-minded people, this is also the place. All kinks, gender identities, and sexual orientations are welcome. You do not need to be active in the community to attend, just open-minded and willing to make space for others' experiences. All attending are asked to be respectful of other guests and the space or they will be asked to leave. Our goal is to learn from each other by creating a safe and supportive space.

We will have one pre-determined topic and the rest will be decided during opening introductions.

Note: this is a roundtable to support bottoms, so we ask that those who identify on the left side of the slask (dom, top, mommy/daddy) refrain from attending. Switches are welcome, but please come with your bottom headspace centered.

The venue is located in Watertown, MA.

ABOUT THE PRESENTERS

Bubbles is a switch who has been bottoming on and off in various capacites for over ten years in the kink community. They started out in OK in their early 20s and found their way to the Boston area in 2017. These days, they are most passionate about rope and community.

Berry is a polyamorous switch who has been fucking around and finding out for over seven years. Her introduction to the lifestyle lived securely in a bottom headspace, but she has since discovered her love of both sides of the slash. A chaos gremlin to her core, Berry is fascinated by the connections made possible through all types of play-especially rope. With the energy of a designated extrovert, her goal is to make others’ introductions to the community a little bit easier. Berry is a nerd about the design and physics of how the structures of rope bondage work, and is passionate about sharing that education with others.
