We want to keep making safe spaces like Wicked Grounds available to folks here in SF, folks from around the world for their yearly visits, and also to folks that can't join us in SF but can keep up with what we're doing from anywhere via podcasts, video classes, and other content.

That's where you come in. If you're one of the hundreds of people who hasn't yet subscribed to our Patreon, we'd like you to do that right now

What's happening on Patreon?

Our mission has always been to build kink community & education. Coffee's just the way we make that happen here in San Francisco.

Now, we want to bring our 'kink concierge' services to folks everywhere. So far, we've launched an online advice column, a series of other kink articles, and have re-launched a Wicked Grounds podcast -- all due to the generous support of our Patreon subscribers. Your support has also allowed us to increase our outreach at conferences and events. So far this year, we've returned to Oakland Pride and are planning to go to Convolution, and we'll be at the Northwest Leather Celebration in Sacramento next year, in addition to the many street fairs and conventions already in our plans.

When you sign up as a supporter at any level on Patreon, you'll be able to keep up with what we're doing from anywhere in the world. Starting at $5/month, you'll get unlimited access to our online classes, and we have great swag (and bragging rights) for higher subscription levels. Your support helps us grow here in San Francisco and beyond!

How can I participate?

- Subscribe at the level that feels right and sustainable for you
- Help us spread the word
- Send us your questions! You can get your questions answered in future classes and advice columns
- Keep letting us know that YOU need to keep building kink community wherever you are.

Thank you for being YOU, dear kinksters! And thank you for helping us bring our brand of coffee, kink and community to a much larger audience.

The folks of Wicked Grounds

* Sunday, February 25th: Join us for a scintillating conversation of the convergence of Kink/BDSM and Spirituality. The munch welcomes all spiritual and religious paths and is not based on any particular systems of practice.

In the evening, the Bay Area Rope Club (BARC) will be hosting their weekly Tuesday pre-event meetup at the cafe from 6-7pm.

* Friday, March 2nd: The FTM Munch will be meeting from 7-9pm. This event is for anyone kinky (or interested), FAAB (female assigned at birth) who identifies as a trans guy, FTM, trans boy/boi, and/or similar.

Low on funds, and need a safe space? Ask your barista about redeeming a support coffee (or tea, lemonade, etc.), pre-paid by another friendly member of our community.

Where is the show hosted now? 

We moved to the DNA Lounge last year. It’s been a welcoming space with enough room and resources to give our audience all the goods. 

You mentioned that this is an audience participation show. How does the audience get involved? 

There is an audience round – an amuse bouche with questions from three brave souls in the audience. The audience also gets to predict who will win, and one audience member who guesses correctly will get a prize. And most importantly, if there’s any question about a point, the audience gets to award it. 

Sounds like a lot of fun. What do you have planned for the next show? 

Coming back to try to win the tiara for the Filthiest Mouth of San Francisco this week is the formidable Rain DeGrey, the sex educator and porn star. Rain will face competition from the wondrous burlesque artist Tease Blossom,  and the amazing Zev Ubu, a former Wicked Grounds barista turned hairstylist to the fabulous. (And a special fourth guest, to be announced!)

What else should we know about the Dirty Talk Game Show that I haven’t asked about? 

One of the reasons I do this show, is that it creates a sex-positive space. And that creates a sex positive culture by providing a playful space to talk about sex. That’s really important to me and I love sharing this with the community. We'd love to see you there! 
​
You can see the next Dirty Talk Game Show at DNA Lounge this Saturday, Feb 24th. Doors are at 7pm, show stars at 7:15. Admission is only $15 dollars, and be sure to get great drinks from your friendly DNA bartenders! 

​* Sunday, February 18th: Bring Your Human Animal Night has been adopted by the SF K9 Unit!

Come roughhouse in the back room, get your drink in a dog bowl, and bork your heart out! Please remember that, as a food service provider, Wicked Grounds cannot legally allow actual non-human attendees, with the exception of service animals.

The Poly Under 40 Coffeehouse Social will be meeting in the back from 7-9:30pm. They welcome poly and nonmonogamous people (new, curious, or experienced) under 40 years of age, as well as the 40-and-over partners and lovers of people under 40, though they do ask that you attend on the same evening as your under-40 partner. 

* Tuesday, February 20th:  The Kinky Entrepreneur’s Munch will be meeting from 11am-1pm to talk about... whatever you want! Questions? Concerns, as a new kinky or kink-adjacent business owner?

Our goal is not to “fix” anyone. Some people are happy being reserved and observing, but would still like a sense of community and support. Others maybe are hoping to gain more confidence or skills to work past the anxiety. Some might just like to get out of the house and be with others who truly understand how hard it can be to interact with the world around you. All types are welcome. The structure of the event is flexible and will adapt to best serve those attending.
