BiRequest Meeting: " Kinky and Bi"

I'm facilitating BiRequest's next discussion group meeting ...

Date: Thursday, April 2nd
Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Location: BLGT Community Center
West 13 St. between 7th & 8th Avenues
Check at the front desk on arrival to confirm room location
Facilitator: Monika & Tom
Topic: Kinky and Bi, or Let's Talk About Kink, Baby!

Summary:

Are Bi people kinkier than the rest of the world, or is that just one of "those" stereotypes? If you only have same-sex partners when you're in a threesome (mmmmmm!) are you really Bi? What is it like navigating kink circles as a bisexual, open or otherwise?

If you're a practicing bi kinkster, did you realize you were kinky first or Bi first? What does kink mean to you? What would you like kink to mean to you? :-)

Come explore these ideas (and anything else that tickles your fancy), or just "take it all in" at BiRequest's safe, non-judgmental forum. It's always fun to talk about kink!

If you can't make it to the meeting, feel free to join us afterward "eight-fifteenish" for dinner at:

Empire Szechuan
173 7th Avenue South (at Perry Street, one block south of 11th Street.)

BiRequest

OK, so it's not exactly kinky these days to be bi or pansexual. But I still go to BiRequest held the 1st and 3rd Thursday at the GLBT Center in NYC. It is a great discussion group and a super supportive safe space for Bi, Pan, questioning, and/or partners and allies of any gender. I knew I was attracted to women from my early teens but never acted on it seriously until a few years ago. BiRequest was my first opportunity to be with a larger group of Bi people. It felt like coming home; I was immediately comfortable. I would also credit that positive experience for giving me the courage to seek out more Kink groups like TES and LSM for support and camaraderie for my kinky side. While "Bi" is considered by some to be too limiting a classification, this group is not. The group is very welcoming and open, and several of us there identify as pansexual or something broader. But BiRequest gives us a place to come together and discuss the many flavors of Bi sexuality in the safety of a circle of our peers. Plus there is always a low-key and enjoyable dinner to follow. Join us!
