New Member Orientation: BDSM Safety Essentials from Top to Bottom
The next Exiles New Member Orientation is Friday June 7th, 7:30 pm, at The Women's Building in San Francisco. This class is a requirement to become an Exiles member. This is an interactive class. The material is presented in skit format. This is not a class to learn how to do everything! This is a BDSM 101 class. Class provides basic safety and community information. Cost: $10 non-members (and receive a pass to a future program); *free* for members. Open to women, and those who identify as "other than male", 18+
Become A Member
Attending an Orientation is required to become a member. In Orientation, we’ll cover the basics of different kinds of BDSM play. While this by no means will make you a BDSM expert, we want to emphasize that keeping you safe – and keeping those you play with safe – is an important goal of The Exiles. Our main focus is education and safety. [read more]
New to BDSM?

Many people are curious about BDSM but might be a little reluctant to investigate their new found (or old) curiosity. Our Orientation is a fun class that will teach you the BDSM basics and will dispel any myths. You will be made to feel welcomed. However if you’re too shy to meet us in person, checkout out our Resources page and do your research online from the comfort and safety of your home. But if you want to get out of the house and find out what this BDSM stuff is all about, come to our monthly Program or attend an orientation.
