This place is like a second home to me and mine. The events are fun, the people are amazing and the prices cant be beat. I highly recommend stopping by for an event. Fridays are my favorite, with their naughty karaoke. Unless you count the first Sunday of the month, the Stoner Karaoke night

I havent visited YET, but am truly very interested in seeing what this place is all about based on the positive reviews. Trying to make time from my very busy schedule to explore life and this spot is towards the top of my list :]

This venue offers a hot, industrial, naughty dungeon complete with St. Andrews Crosses and cuddle spaces. I highly recommend visiting, especially during an educational/play event so you can learn and then explore or just observe in the dungeon. Comfy couches in the main room!

Welcoming, clean environment. Staff is always easily found if needed. Rooms are all well lit. Safety first. We went for karaoke, fun set up,not intimidating at all.

Always a great and fun environment! Love having a safe space as well, as a kinky poly queer. I can only usually make it to one event a month but I always enjoy myself!

This place is widely known for its accepting community. It is a fantastic place to learn about the kink community and I wouldnt choose anywhere else to hangout. Kinky karaoke is one of my favorite parties to go to as well as the little and queer parties hosted there.

A welcoming, friendly environment; the owners and staff are wonderful, and will always accommodate in whatever way they can. This space is a great place to learn, to explore, and to make new friends.Definitely a safe space; disability-friendly, Queer friendly, and (of course) sex positive.

I regularly attend the events here. The staff are always very helpful and respectful. The place is always clean and its always a good time. You might want to get there early however if you want to get a good parking spot.

Review №15

Comfortable, welcoming and safe for everyone. The space is small, seating is limited and often awkward for conversion and its often stuffy with poor air circulation. ADA accessible and accommodations are made for assistance devices. Biggest issue is the parking, be prepared to circle a 2-5 block radius before you find a spot.

Hit and miss. Dollar tree of sex clubs. Sometimes a great deal other times you get what you pay for. I still recommend a few visits and switching up events.

Review №17

Its kind of sketchy in there. The art in the walls is really neat, but the electrical outlets seem iffy and the patrons have been known to do some unsafe stuff. While they ban people regularly for doing bad stuff, they seem to find their way back in. The recent remodel up front looks nice, and they have good raffles. The space is clean but the couches are kind of gross because of all the naked butts.

Review №18

Truly sex-positive, and (at least in my experience) queer-, fat-, and consent-positive as well.

I went and learned how to tie some really fun knots, I thought the people were great & the place feels very much like a community loved space.

Review №21

Attended Naughty Karaoke as an introductory event. The owners/hosts seem friendly, laid-back, and respectful, and I was made to feel welcome and comfortable right away. Unfortunately, the bi-monthly karaoke was a little underwhelming, and could not keep my attention. The dungeon was less active than I expected (less than ten people on a Friday night, some just lounging on the beds), but I was pleased by the variety of play structures and accoutrements, the cleanliness (mandatory sheets, towels, and clean-up spray), and the discretion of the dungeon monitor staff. I had the opportunity to speak with club members, and found those with whom I spoke to be friendly and open, if a little unappreciative of vanilla, heterosexual, monogamous relationships (obviously, you dont have to be queer, poly, or into BDSM to enjoy exhibitionism or voyeurism). In general, this seems like a good, safe place to bring your fetish, whips and chains, daddy issues, bad singing, and snacks (I also recommend bringing your own partner, as I didnt see many loners and attractive people were sparse). The website for this place has a very comprehensive schedule listing everything from snuggle piles to naughty karaoke to classes on dungeon etiquette.

Revised Review : its great to have a well-run establishment that offers Portlands many sex-positive groups a space to host educational events and play parties on a regular basis. Something for (almost) anyone

If youre new to exploring your sexuality, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! I have never felt more welcome and put at ease in a context in which I would otherwise be highly nervous and very socially anxious. If you have questions, someone there has answers :)

The catalyst has been one of the best experiences in this lifestyle. Kronos and Darklady are both very welcoming and gracious hosts and uplift a sex positive community. I recommend this venue to anyone interested in sex positive experiences: new or old within the scene.
