At this year’s Foreplay Soirée, we invite you into the world of Playful Ritual—where curiosity, embodiment, and erotic expression meet in a vibrant playground of possibility. We're expanding our spectrum of offerings to create a richer, more intentional palate of experiences: whether you're bold or shy, subtle or brash, you’ll find invitations to explore your desires, connect through shared ritual, or simply watch and soak it all in. Wear what makes you feel sexy & playful… lingerie, BDSM attire- whatever turns you on and makes you feel delicious! Doors open at 7:00 PM. At 7:30 PM, we begin playing together with a Zensuality teaser, a guided somatic experience to awaken your senses and welcome you into the night. Led by Tina Powell. Shy Voyeur Section: take a seat and observe from seats and cushions in our theater riser area. There’s no pressure to interact in any way. Dungeon Photo Booth: Expose Yourself in the Privacy of your very own photo dungeon. You're in charge with your personal remote control, ensuring total privacy as you create your intimate memories. Your high-resolution photos are delivered directly on a flash drive- to share or not to share, as you wish. First come, first play- come early! Stroll and sip a beverage to keep you cool as you enjoy our hot experiences—and let your senses wander to our snack table when your lips, tongue, or fingertips need a little something to explore.
