answering questions about community

There are several groups that meet at assorted times...These are the quotes from their communication groups with the links, please do the remaining 'leg work' for yourself...

To learn about events all over the state, I recommend Kinky Texans:
Looking for kinky people and events happening in your area? This is a discussion and information group for people in the B*D*S*M lifestyle in Texas. Find out about groups and events in Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, and elsewhere in Texas and the surrounding states. Discuss any issue related to B*D*S*M - b0ndage, D/s, S/M, etc. Not affiliated with any group and open to all. No flaming of either persons or groups.

No advertising by posting or uploading pay sites. To do so will get you banned.

To access the calendar please click on "Calendar" in the left menu area.

Disclaimer: The groups listed here are provided as a service to the members and are in no way endorsed by me. Some groups may require you to sign or provide a legal name on documents to join or attend their events. My suggestion is to ask questions as to why, where, and how long the information is kept and from that make your choice as to whether you feel comfortable providing this information. Remember that you are responsible for your own health and safety when meeting people or attending events found on this site. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kinkytexans

The Leather community is separate from the pansexual but has more then gay men in it. They toss a great party known as LUEY in Feb [around Madis Gras]. To find out schedules and such:
This group is for all members to communicate about Events in the Houston Community. No Flaming or Spam is allowed http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lueyweekend/

There is a group for photography: This group is dedicated to the art of erotic/fetish photography. We hold monthly meetings which consist of a discussion as well as a photoshoot or two. There is almost always an official model lined up for these shoots, but walk-ins are highly encouraged to just show up.

Our members include professional photographers and enthusiastic amateurs. Thus, everything from high end DSLRs to point and shoot cameras are evident, although you will get more out of this group the more advanced your camera is.

This group was started with mainly Houston HPEP, EROS, and TNC members, but has recently expanded to welcome the Houston fetish community in general.

The group maintains its own secure online photo album of shoots and events. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PhotoSIG

There is a great group out in Spring run by the lovely Miss Lauri: Spring's newest and most exciting adult group. We have play parties on the third Saturday of every month. We are open to other suggestions on get togethers. Join and bring your thoughts with you. Mark your calendars for our first party Feb.16,2008. More information will be revealed. Well time sure flies, it has been almost a year since the group started and now we have munches,demos,discussion groups and a number of other get togethers.

My personal favorite is in Kingwood. Safari Club: The Safari Club is an alternative lifestyle group dedicated to playing and having fun with as little politics as possible. We beleive in enjoying ourselves to the fullest extent possible while maintaining respect for everyone's personal protocols and preferences. The Safari Club welcomes people who are new to the lifestyle as well as the experienced. We put principles before personalities. Members must be 21 years of age or older and have an active yahoo profile listing their age.

Regular play parties are held the first Saturday of the month at a members home. Parties are by invitation only or by a member of the Safari Club. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thesafariclub/

Another one I truly love is Violet Society: ....An alternative lifestyle group for people of all colors exploring the many flavors of BD/SM, D/s and M/s.


Formed in November 2004, The Violet Society was established to allow individuals in Houston and the surrounding area, a forum for discussion, fellowship, friendship and risk aware consensual experiences. The name Violet Society was chosen because Violet is the final color in the spectrum of the rainbow. It represents our belief that people of all colors and cultures deserve a place where their alternative expressions of lifestyle can be respected and celebrated. The Violet Society invites members of all ethnicities, nationalities and cultures to join us in exploring the many varied flavors of lifestyle, including BD/SM, D/s, M/s, leather, fetishism and kink.

The Violet Society Mission :

o To provide a safe, discreet inclusive environment for people of all colors and cultures to participate in mature and healthy educational, social, and sensory experiences within the context of alternative sexual lifestyles.
o To reach out to members of minority cultures providing a gateway into the BD/SM, D/s and M./s communities for education and support.
o To help raise the level of consciousness of the greater alternative communities regarding special concerns of minorities involved in alternative lifestyle expressions.
o To support other lifestyle groups, organizations and individuals with missions that encourage the expression of alternative sexual orientation, lifestyle choice, belief and practice. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/violet_society
