Resources for the Community Today
The Wet Spot is no longer operating, but the community it served is larger and more visible than ever. The links below point to active organizations, education resources, and tools that today's practitioners use to keep building on what The Wet Spot started.
The Successor Organization
- Center for Sex Positive Culture (thecspc.org) - The direct successor to The Wet Spot. Active membership, classes, parties, and community programming in Seattle.
- Pan-Eros Foundation - The 501(c)(3) educational foundation paired with CSPC, formerly the Foundation for Sex Positive Culture. Hosts the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival.
Tools for Practitioners
Many of the things we taught in the classroom (negotiation, protocol design, ritual structure, ongoing dynamic maintenance) are now supported by digital tools. We're happy to highlight a current one stewarded by the same group that maintains this archive:
- SubTasks (subtasksapp.com) - A modern app for couples and small dynamics to structure tasks, rituals, protocols, and rewards across distance and over time. Useful for D/s, Dom/sub, M/s, and any committed power-exchange relationship that wants a shared system instead of a shared spreadsheet.
Local & Regional Community
- FetLife - online community where many Seattle groups now organize.
- Local munches and events still meet weekly across Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, and Bellingham.
- The Foundation for Sex Positive Culture (Pan-Eros) education programs.
Reading we used to recommend
- The New Topping Book and The New Bottoming Book - Janet W. Hardy & Dossie Easton.
- The Ethical Slut - Easton & Hardy. (For poly newcomers.)
- Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns - Miller & Devon.
- SM 101 - Jay Wiseman.
- The Heart of Dominance - Anton Fulmen. (Newer; the textbook many community organizers now point to for D/s relationship structure.)
