Safer SM
|
|
We've decided to take an extended sabbatical, but our pamplet is being revised. Please come back to visit in late November/early December, 2008.
|
The latest revision of our very popular Safer SM booklet will be in full colour and has a lot more information than the previous edition. Free copies can be picked up or ordered by mail at The AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT) at 4th. floor, 399 Church Street, Toronto, Ontario M5B 2J6. (Click here for map.) They are also available on all the ACT boards in Toronto. The text of this booklet (current version) is now available at this site. Watch this space for the update at the end of 2008! If you want the booklet sent outside of Canada, please include an International Reply Coupon (IRC) instead of a stamp (an IRC is available at all post offices around the world, and will cost you about the price of a stamp for an international letter). On the other hand, if you'd like to make a tax receiptable donation (Canadians only) to the SM education project, say $10-20, we would willingly arrange something.... :-) For this, please write to . If you'd like to distribute the booklet in your bar, organization, or other establishments, please contact 416 340 8484, extension 247 for bulk prices. 100% of the money you give us for these booklets goes straight back into the next printing. Financial support for the printing of the booklet came from community donations within Metropolitan Toronto. We'd like to thank these major supporters: Alternate Sources, The Barracks, The National Leather Association-Toronto, Northbound Leather, Spearhead Toronto, Dan Bowers, Trevor Jacques, Dr. Dale McCarthy, Rachael Melzack, Dennis O'Connor, Sniffer, David Stein, and the many generous donations made at the ACT SM seminars. Special thanks to Carlos Rivas, Duncan McLachlan, James Murray, John Maxwell, and Mike Willan at ACT for their help. |
To date, some 3,000 people have attended the seminars, both at the 101 level and, for the more advanced, the 201 seminars.
The seminars require the talents of many more volunteers than the initial FourSM. These are people who aim to encourage and educate people in safe and lawful practices of SM. The seminars are pan-sexual in nature, and the volunteers are male, female, heterosexual, homosexual, and various combinations and permutations of the above ;-)
The seminars are a chance for you to have your questions about SM answered. They are also a chance for you to meet new people and to explore SM activities in a safe, friendly atmosphere.
For seminar locations and wheelchair accessibility, please see the calendar page. The seminars are held from 12:00 to 18:00 to allow you to have an early brunch and be out in time to get to dinner. Please arrive between 11:30 and 12:00, since the afternoon is packed with information and we need to start on time.
Since space is limited, please reserve your seat in advance with the Safer Sex Education Project. There is no dress code for the seminars. Anyone interested in learning about SM is welcome.
Coffee, tea, & juices are provided during breaks in the seminar.
The 201 level seminars usually include workshops for both Tops and Bottoms to discuss and improve their technique.
