SPLF2025

Hosted by APRiL. Individuals identifying as Asian (inclusive of W or SW Asians), pan Asian diaspora, and/or Pasifika. This discussion will provide a space for individuals from Pasifika, South Asian, Southeast Asian, West Asian, Southwest Asian, East Asian, and Multiracial Asian backgrounds to explore their unique experiences at the intersection of their cultural identities and Leather/kink practices. We will discuss topics such as cultural influences, challenges, and empowerment, creating a supportive and inclusive environment. The aim is to foster understanding, build connections, and celebrate the diverse perspectives within these communities, promoting a sense of belonging and empowerment. This year the roundtable is limited to those of Asian, Pasifika, and/or pan Asian diaspora descent only (please self-select). This is not a space solely for East Asians; SWANA individuals whose heritage/culture make this discussion relevant are intended to be part of this space. Hosted by Asian & Pasifika Representation in Leather (APRiL)

Hosted by Mufasa Ali. Welcoming all. We will discuss what meaning is given to the concept of spirituality in a BDSM context, and how does this spirituality resemble spiritual practices in our lives. Which common denominators between BDSM practice and spiritual belief can be found, and how should we interpret the parallels. How can BDSM broaden our understanding for spirituality in different contexts, and thus contribute to our life in community, relationships and play.

Hosted by Mita Beach. Welcoming People of Trans and Gender Diverse experience. Join us for a roundtable discussion on Trans and Gender Diverse (TGD) experiences in BDSM. In a respectful, inclusive space, we will discuss identity, safety, community support, healthcare, and personal journeys.

Hosted by ImperatorFuriosa. Welcoming men, masculine presenting, transmen. A round table to establish a safe place for men to discuss openly their feelings around the perception of men in the community. Discussion questions like How does it feel to be considered automatically not safe? How can we reframe our thinking about it to align with community values? Are we supposed to be compromising our egos as culture evolves? How does it feel to be placed under the expectation of being a strong dominant man then also be asked to be equitable, to make space by being smaller, and leave room for other people? Are those things mutually exclusive?

Hosted by Tay (Bambi) Twist. Aimed for littles, middles & bigs but everyone is welcome! In this discussion, all littles, middles & bigs are welcome. Little space has such a stigma and bad rap, I’d like to discuss why and how we can help destigmatize age regression in the community.
