SPECIAL EVENTS

We have an exceptional line up of special events this year, and everyone is invited to attend them all. We want you to feel comfortable participating at whatever level you desire. You can watch respectfully or be the center of attention, ask to join in or hang back. Remember, what you get out of this weekend is directly related to what you put into it. Engage, participate, perform!

GARDEN OF CARNAL DELIGHTS
at Sex-O-Rama

Imagine an evening where your deepest desires and fantasies are created and fulfilled. Move from room to room and see what awaits you in a buffet of carnal delight. Hang out in The Make-Out Room, where talking, flirting, negotiating, and heavy petting are strongly encouraged. Ready to get really busy with someone (or several someones)? Or maybe you’d like to be in The Brothel to spend or earn some Kundalini Kash. There will be hookers, hustlers, madams, and johns: who will you be? In The Peep Show Room, anyone can strut their stuff, shimmy and shake, or take it all off for an audience of eager voyeurs…There’s only one catch: you can look, but you can’t touch, since all the dancers are behind glass. Of course, any dancer can work the room after a dance set, maybe select a favorite watcher and give that person a sensual lap dance. Then there are always those Peep Show performers who’ll give you a little something extra, if you give them what they want. Want to brush up on your moves or learn a few new tricks before the big night? Check out Nina Hartley’s class on Stripping for Your Lover and learn the ropes from a legend!

THE OBJECTIFICATION ROOM
Hosted by Sharrin Spector

Welcome to The Objectification Room, a part of the Garden of Carnal Delights in Sex-O-Rama. The Objectification Room is a unique fantasy of anonymous sexual encounters, where people are available for pleasure, identified only by a number (Object #1, #2, etc.) with their limits, desires, and rules on a sign—no faces, no names, no verbal communication. As an object, you can be simply a cock, a hole, a mouth, a boot, an ass, a fist, a nipple, or lips! Safe sex is mandatory, and guardians/monitors will be present to ensure the safety of everyone. All objects will also serve as guardians at some point in the evening. If you want to be an object, you must sign up in advance with Sharrin. If you’re interested in being an objectifier, you are *strongly encouraged* to attend Sharrin’s class on Objectification.

NIGHT IN FLAMES: FIREPLAY TO THE EXTREME!
hosted by Phoenix B. and Barbara Carrellas

Come watch or come try. This is one event you won’t want to miss.

XPLORE & TASTE
Hosted by Lolita Wolf and Others

Get camp started with a bang! Come meet your fellow campers, greet some of our amazing presenters, connect with old friends, and make some new ones at this Friday night mixer. If you’re feeling adventurous, try a “tasting” of any or all of several different types of kinky, sexy fun—like massage, hot wax, dirty talk, spanking, flogging, fire play, rope bondage, and more—at one of the many exploration stations. Or you’re welcome to hang back and watch the action as it unfolds.

MAITHUNA RITUAL
Hosted by Mark Michaels, Patricia Johnson and Barbara Carrellas

Mark Michaels, Patricia Johnson and Barbara Carrellas have tailored the ancient Tantric Maithuna sex ritual specifically for the Dark Odyssey community. Join us as we explore the deepest mysteries of Tantric practice. This is a unique opportunity to experience the magical power of Tantra first hand. No prior experience is necessary-just come with an attitude of openness, playfulness and a spirit of curiosity and reverence for the mystery of sacred sexuality. The only requirement is that you attend the Tantric Sexual Ritual class as preparation. You can participate in this ritual alone or with a partner. If you do not have a partner and want one, you will have the opportunity to pair up (consensually, of course) before the ritual. All genders and sexual expressions welcome.

PETTING ZOO
Hosted by Mistress Rosie and Miss Cori

Are you a fierce ferocious animal, a cuddly affectionate pet, or perhaps just an admirer of our 4-legged friends? This is a great way to let your inner-animal come out to play. You can participate as a domesticated or exotic species, along with your owner/trainer. All of earth’s animals are welcome—whether shy or outgoing, clean or filthy, furry or smooth, well-trained or wild. Or, you can visit the petting zoo and interact with the animals. As a visitor, you should approach each animal with your hand reached out so it can sniff you before you pet it or feed it a treat to ensure fun, friendly, and safe encounters with our furry friends. Scratch an ear, stroke a chin, giggle when she wiggles her sexy tail...This is the petting zoo your family never took you to!

FIRST ANNUAL DARK ODYSSEY FISTFEST
Hosted by Felice Shays and Lolita Wolf

*Fisting: the art of inserting one’s hand up to the wrist into someone’s cunt or ass.*
It’s a competition! It’s a celebration! It’s cruising heaven! How many people can engage in this gorgeous sex game at once? Prizes and souvenirs! Come one come all, fuckers and fuckees. All whores, sluts, hole holders, virgins, neophytes, and acolytes welcome. You got a hole or you want to fill one? This is your chance! No matter what you call it come find five fingers to fill you up… or bring your digits and we’ll help you find a perfect dark warm fit. Voyeurs welcome (though we think you’ll change your mind).

FANTASY ROLEPLAY IMPROV NIGHT AT SEX-O-RAMA

Do you like to roleplay? Ready to channel your inner cheerleader, military man, Daddy, teacher, doctor, or princess? This is an evening designed to shed your inhibitions and indulge your playfulness. Step up to Pandora’s Box and choose wisely from among the costumes, props, and toys provided; you might find a feather boa, a football, a lollipop, a riding crop, or something surprising. Or, bring your own. Let whatever you choose inspire you to find a fantasy and run with it. This is meant to be an interactive event where everyone goes at your own speed. Maybe you want to practice some discipline as the Stern Governess, stir up some dirty talk with other recruits, or maybe you want to take it even further. It’s up to you!

TIMES SQUARE CINEMA PRESENTS *ROUGH SEX 2*
Hosted by Tristan Taormino

There was a time when you could go watch porn on the big screen with fellow perverts. You could also, um, connect with those pervs right there in the darkness of the movie theater (or in a corner or a booth). Come relive the good old days when adult theaters were king, pornography was bigger than life, and public space for sex was just a little bit seedy (in a good way). You’ll have the opportunity to see the premiere of *Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex 2*, starring April Flores, Claire Adams, Bobbi Starr, James Deen, Madison Young, Dylan Ryan, Adrianna Nicole, Chayse Evans, Mark Davis, Sinnamon Love, Orpheus Black, Richard Mann, and Shane Diesel. Its six hot scenes feature D/s food play, pet training, girl wrestling, anal sex, forced orgasms, hot wax, clothespins, flogging, pony play, domestic service, knife play, and one very interesting poker party. Each scene is its own vingnette so cum and go as you please…

CIGARS & CHOCOLATE
Hosted by Bobby and Sarah Sloane

An evening under the stars, with good conversation, delicious chocolate, and a good cigar...what could be more perfect? We’re creating a special retreat during Summer Camp: an opportunity to step away from the hustle and bustle, to sit back and relax, to take the focus off of doing something and just allow yourself to be. We will have a few servers to bring you tasty chocolates and prepare your cigars for your smoking pleasure. Feel free to bring cigars with you, though if you don’t have any with you there will be some available for purchase at the gathering.

PAHAMA PARTY
Hosted by Lolita Wolf

Break out your pj’s, silk robes, lingerie, bunny slippers, or whatever you wear to bed and join us as we christen Sex-O-Rama for 2010. Be the first to try out the amazing Esse Chairs by Liberator Shapes, scope out a spot to get busy, or hang back and watch.

SWAP AND SHOP!

Do you have something to sell? Maybe you make knives, knit scarves, design jewelry, write books, or make some sort of ingenious implements. Well, come to the Pool and set up shop! That’s right, we’re having an afternoon of vending, and anyone can sell anything (legal, that is). If you bring your own tent, table, or booth set up, even better (if you don’t, no worries, we’ll give you a table). Or…maybe you have something to swap. Come to the Fetish and Other Clothing Swap! Bring that corset you only wore twice, the leather skirt that doesn’t fit you, those shoes you thought were cute but ended up gathering dust in your closet—anything no longer wanted/needed that’s in fab condition. This is a great way to send your stuff to a good home and pick up pretty new things while you’re at it! Vendors should come by before noon to select a spot and set up; space is first come, first serve.

QUEER AND GENDERQUEER MIXER
Hosted by Tristan and Colten

Calling all dykes, fags, queers, FtMs, MtFs, transfolk, crossdressers, and genderqueer peeps! Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all find each other before the weekend is over? Join us after dinner at this mixer for dessert (including pies from the local farm stand), schmoozing, and maybe even some cruising. People who identify as queer or gender variant (or both) as well as partners and supporters are welcome.

FIRE SPINNING
Hosted by Margo Eve and Elkor

A special evening devoted to Fire Spinning. Come try out what you’ve learned in classes like Beginning Poi and Preparing for Fire under the guidance of experienced spinners, show off your tricks for the crowd, or simply stand back and watch this beautiful, captivating performance.

POLY MEETUP

Designed to de-drama the weekend, this informal workshop provides a framework for talking about what you want and what you don’t. A handy Yes/No/FYI checklist kick starts the conversation. Create good agreements with taking points on vocabulary, timeliness, green lights and veto power. Meet other poly folks over a cupcake and cocktail and enjoy your weekend!

SOCIAL MEDIA MIXER
Hosted by Viviane and Wendy Blackheart

The internet has made it much easier for like minded people to find each other, and for you to find information about every kind of kink and sexuality. Fetlife, Twitter, Facebook, Livejournal and blogs are some of the many ways kinksters find, connect and stay in touch online. Come to this mixer and meet fellow users in person, and also learn about various sites. Hosted by Wendy Blackheart and Viviane.

DEPARTURE GROUNDING CIRCLE
Hosted by Margo Eve

Leaving Camp is hard. All the new friends and things we have experienced can build up inside and cause difficulties making the transition back to our regular life. Margo Eve has acted as “priestess” for this non-denominational but pagan feeling circle for the past 4 years. People have found relief from the pent up energies and experiences in a ritual grounding circle held Monday morning after the final breakfast. An opportunity to set free your joy or sorrow among welcoming and supportive people in a safe space before leaving. Those who have attended this circle have reported it helping significantly in the transition from the world of DO camp to their everyday life. The circle takes as long as it takes. In the past it has lasted anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour.
