Black Glove Theater
Seattle, Washington
We are a small group of artists/professionals who have been involved in the sex positive movement here in Seattle for several years. We have diligently explored the concept of raising erotic energy as a means in and of itself rather than a means to an end. Rudolf was one of the original writers and performers for Seattle's very popular erotic theater, the Little Red Studio. Randy is one of Seattle's hottest rising stars in the field of erotic, fine art photography. Leila is a writer, hails from a visual arts background, and was also one of the original writers and cast members of Little Red Studio

We have each had an opportunity to analyze the erotic scene here in Seattle and have come to the realization that there is something profoundly missing - a space where deeply committed couples can explore Sexually Adventurous Monogamy. As such, we are seeking to cultivate and develop just such a space. For many reasons, health and emotional concerns being among them, the "swingers lifestyle" approach has never held much attraction for any of us. We each hail from a more spiritual drive and the idea of casual swapping has always felt very vacant and dissatisfying.

We are committed toward the affirmative exploration and engagement of free sexual activity amongst consenting participants but principally with only the couples themselves - that is to say in a monogamous manner - but within a single, open space where couples can watch, be watched, and openly share a most intimate, and what we believe to be a healing gift of erotic energy both to themselves and to others.

We also see ourselves as somewhat of a filtering mechanism, allowing for couples who are interested in this sort of personal erotic exploration to maintain a level of comfortable discretion and to avoid the uneasiness of not knowing who they are blindly getting together with when they attempt such contacts on their own. Part of the process of joining our private club requires that prior to any event we meet in a safe public place to personally introduce ourselves and to meet you and discuss your needs and expectations so that we can be sure that the experience is optimized for all who participate.

The understanding of boundaries is a critical element of these events and we encourage couples to actively and openly discuss boundaries amongst themselves. We highly discourage the adjustment or changing of boundaries at the parties themselves as this places undue pressure on people. If you are both comfortable with the experience you had and wish to expand your boundaries we encourage you to talk about it after the party and readjust your boundaries so that the next time we get together you can push your erotic envelopes with prior contemplation and agreement.

The beauty of our events is that it is private, safe, intimate, artistic, authentic experience. Moreover, we've studied the importance and value of knowing just how many couples it takes to raise the level of erotic resonance to places that few have experienced before. Needless to say our events are exclusive and limited to a finite amount of members. Further, everyone comes to our events as part of a "couple"; we do not facilitate "hook-ups" and that kind of pressure is not present.

If you remain interested in exploring these concepts and ideas please let us know.
