Choose Your Own Kinkventure: Scene-Building with Surprises with Nyxie Noc

Last Entry: Midnight

End time: 2am

This Threshold, we gather the extraordinary.

The weekend of International BDSM Day and Dore Alley calls for a celebration of kink in all its forms… leatherfolk, rope tops, sadists, masochists, dominants, submissives, switches, pups, brats, bootblacks, rubber creatures, curious newcomers, and the beautifully unhinged humans who make this community what it is.

While International BDSM Day officially lands on July 24th, we believe one day simply isn’t enough. So we’re celebrating all weekend long with a gathering of the League of Extraordinary Kinksters.

This is your invitation to step into the dungeon and celebrate the creativity, connection, devotion, intensity, ritual, service, power exchange, and consensual debauchery that make BDSM culture so vibrant. Whether your kink is psychological, primal, sensual, sadistic, protocol-driven, playful, elegant, filthy, or somewhere gloriously in between, there is space for you here.

As the Bay Area leather and kink community gathers for Dore Alley weekend, we invite you to spend your Saturday night surrounded by fellow kinksters before the streets fill with leather on Sunday. Gather your coven, your chosen family, your service submissive, your dungeon crush, your leather title holder, your brat pack, your rope crew, your favorite menace, or simply your curious self.

Every extraordinary kinkster has a specialty.

What’s yours?

The League assembles July 25th.

ABOUT

Threshold is Mission Control's kinkiest party. It's a place to unleash your dominant side, go deep into submission, explore restraints, role-play, and experiment with kinky toys. Whether you're a BDSM-curious newbie or a veteran with a toy bag who knows how to play, Threshold is a great place for exploration and kinky play. Our community gathers quarterly at Mission Control, where Allies (our dues paying members) play for free.

We start each event with a playshop or demonstration where iconic fetish personalities come to share their knowledge with us. If the topic of the playshop doesn't tickle your fancy, don't worry, you can arrive after it ends and just enjoy the party. Each event brings a new focus which guests can then explore in our Fun-geon upstairs… and we are expanding the fun into the gazebo and creating a whole new Fun-geon space!

Threshold is the place where our community explores the deeply erotic world of BDSM and Dark Tantra. Pleasure and pain. Intense sensations. Power play. As with all Mission Control events, Threshold is built on a foundation of consent and responsible play.

Threshold is an all inclusive gender space. Any individuals who identifies as a woman, female, man, male, genderqueer, gender fluid, trans masculine, trans feminine, transgender and others with identities beyond the binary sex or gender spectrum are welcome, including all sexualities, sexual orientations, and sexual expressions.
