Polyamory Day
2022-11-23
November 23rd is National Polyamory Day. On that day in 2011, BC’s Supreme Court ruled that Canada’s so called “anti-polygamy law” does not apply to unformalized polyamorous households – clarifying that polyamory, as it is typically practiced in Canada, is legal and not a criminal act.

International Fetish Day
2023-01-20
International Fetish Day is held annually on the third Friday in January and this year, it falls on January 20. It is a day primarily set aside to increase awareness and support of B.D.S.M. — erotic practices between consenting adults. It also encourages members of the community to be more open about their sexuality. International Fetish Day opposes the law criminalizing possessing the fetishes tagged as ‘extreme pornography.’ Are you aware that fetishes that are usually practiced are harmless and can help those who participate in expressing them to reach their highest levels of sexual satisfaction? This day is an important one that helps to promote this knowledge and the acceptance of people.

World Sexual Health Day
2023-09-04
On World Sexual Health Day, WHO celebrates every person’s right to sexual well-being. The World Health Organization (WHO) working definition of sexual health emphasizes a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, one that cannot be separated from sexual well-being:

“Sexual health is a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being related to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity.
Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected and fulfilled.”

Arizona Power Exchange - Explicit Prior Permission workshop
2023-09-18 19:30 - 21:30 UTC
First there was SSC, then RACK, now… EPP! Explicit Prior Permission is the new legal framework for consent to the erotic use of force and restraint under the revised Model Penal Code on Sexual Assault. EPP is groundbreaking because BDSM, even when consensual, is criminalized under Appellate case law. Learn how to get Explicit Prior Permission, along with how the Consent Counts project achieved this effort, and how stigma of criminalization has affected our communities. You’ll also hear about NCSF’s resources that can help you and your group deal with consent violations.
