1st Thursday of the month 7:00-10:00 p.m.
September 1st- "The Notorious Bettie Page"
Roberta (Roberta Gemma), Junoesque & shy, is employed as the secretary of a lawyer. At first Roberta, frightened and at the same time attracted to the polished but distant manner of the young lawyer, follows a normal working routine. After a few weeks the businessman begins to make strange requests, appearing jealous and punishing her physically, spanking her for mistakes she has made. For Roberta all this is a pleasant and intriguing revelation. Between the two of them is born a sort of erotic game with sadistic and voyeuristic undertones, enriched by strange visitors to the office and by the forbidden dreams of Roberta.
The BDSM movie screening night will fall on the 1st Thursday of each month, and is open to the public. Lots of comfy couches to snuggle into to watch a movie on the big screen (we have an overhead projector now!) We will show some popular BDSM movies and perhaps a few somewhat obscure BDSM films for your viewing pleasure. If you have a request for a specific title, please let us know!

Membership Orientation
Final Step to becoming a Member, you must be known and vouched for by an existing Member to attend' (see below).
$30/personNext Orientation - TBA
This orientation is required to become a member of Breathless. The orientation starts promptly at the time stated, but attendees should arrive 10 min's early, doors are locked 15 min's after the start time, no admittance after this time . This also gives people some time to chat and meet other future members. Although the orientation takes approx. 90 min, additional time is often required for questions and answers. If you choose to become a member of Breathless you will be required to read and sign a waiver, as well as fill out a membership form. The $30 Membership fee will be collected at the end of the evening. Once you have become a Member you can attend any Members Only event that applies to you.
If you are unknown to the owner, you should be known to another Member who will vouch for you (they should write to the owner and receive a response before you attend the Orientation). This is to ensure that all Members have a genuine interest in alternative lifestyles and is not there to cause trouble. If you have not been vouched in or do not know the owner, you should attend some other open Community Centre events and become known before attending an Orientation.

Monday Munch: 3rd Annual International Thanksgiving Potluck - October 10
Don't have any special plans for Thanksgiving supper? What better way to spend the evening than with like-minded kinky people? Come on out to Breathless's 3rd Annual International Thanksgiving Potluck.
Menu
This is an International Thanksgiving Potluck. Although not absolutely mandatory, it would be good if you can bring a traditional family dish to share with everyone. However, Canadian everyday fair is acceptable as well. In the event that you REALLY can't contribute, then don't sweat it - come out anyway! Bring your own stuff to eat or enjoy the abundance of your kinky friends.In the interest of not ending up with a table full of desserts, please post what you will be bringing in this thread and I will keep a running list here:
Lady Pearl - Poached chicken drumsticks with gravy, brown rice, & my famous mini peanut butter cheesecakes
The same spiel that I put up every month:
Hello and welcome to the Breathless Monday Munch! In the interest of providing an accessible venue that is an alternative to the weekly Wednesday Cock & Bull OALN Slosh, Breathless will host a Monthly Monday Munch.Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and meet other kinksters, those already involved within the community as well as all of you just coming out. Freely chat in this informal and non-public venue. Dress in whatever would make you feel comfortable. Just remember that this event is not a members-only event, so NO nudity allowed. Plenty of opportunity to meet, mingle, and share fantasies.
If you wish, bring your supper (a microwave is available), or bring money to order out. You're also welcome to pick up something on your own, and there are many restaurants along Bank street you can choose from. Snack items and non-alcoholic drinks will be available to purchase from the canteen.
Hope to see you there!

Breathless Monthly Monday Munch - Q&A
Since I have fielded quite a few questions regarding this munch, below is an attempt at minimizing those questions -- but please do contact me if the below information does not answer your question(s).
What is a munch?
A munch is a casual lunch or dinner with other local people who have an interest or experience in BDSM (Bondage & Discipline, Dominance & Submission, Sadomasochism) and/or Fetish. Most are held in restaurants or bars, where conversation/actions/dress must be discrete.
The munch is a NON-PLAY gathering meant for socializing. A great (and safe and welcoming) place to test the waters, provide that first step for newcomers, perhaps meet a potential play partner(s), negotiate for things that may happen at another event, and get to know other kinksters and the local community better. So if someone asks you to play, please don't. If you want to ask someone to play, please don't. (See rule #4 below).
Why isn't the munch in a public venue?
After discussions with several Breathless members, it came to light that some people were uncomfortable with the public aspect of the Cock & Bull sloshes. They have observed people walk in, look around, look perturbed, then walk right back out. There is also the aspect that voice level must be moderated because of vanilla diners at the other tables.
Having the munches at Breathless provides the privacy and security that some new and nervous (or experienced and private) people appreciate. Everyone can relax and be their naturally kinky selves :)
Why should I attend?
* Meet new people with similar interests and mindset
* Be able to talk freely without fear or judgement
* Ask questions about BDSM, Breathless, and whatever else tickles your fancy
* Socialize and enjoy the company of fellow kinksters
* Use it as a safe place for a first meeting
* Find out about other kinky events going on in the communityWhat REALLY goes on at the munch?
It really is just a bunch of people, hanging out (either sitting on the couch or standing), enjoying good conversation (kinky or otherwise), and eating (hence the term "munch").
The first half hour is mainly settling in, making your $5 minimum donation, choosing what you'll eat (if you didn't bring your own supper), buying a drink/snack at the canteen, and socializing. Most people order from the menu, but that is certainly not required. Some people come straight from work and are in office attire. Most dress very casually. As of yet, nobody has come in fetwear(grin).
After the food is delivered and everyone has gorged themselves (lol), everyone gathers around the couches and introduces themselves. You are encouraged to share as little or as much as you want to share. Many times there is light-hearted ribbing and laughs, and spontaneous conversations frequently erupt.
What if I see someone I know?!
EVERYONE at the Munch is kinky (it is our PRIVATE space). So if you recognize someone you see, relax -- they are there for the same reason as you. Be aware that many people use scene names and hold their real name strictly private -- so do NOT run up and shout out their real name (it isn't for you to share with others).
What age range attends?
So far, there have been representatives for each decade - from 18+ to 50+. Don't let age deter you!
Any advice for newbies?
(Plagiarized from Lord Omy, grin)
Regardless of what end of the paddle you're on, if you're new, proceed slowly. It's taken you 18+ years for you to come out ... a few more weeks isn't going to affect anything. Ask/look for someone with more experience than you that you're comfortable with. You'll find that 98% of us are more than willing to share our knowledge.What can I do to help?
If you're wondering what you can bring or do to help out, a snack item or after dinner sweet is always welcome and appreciated. Coming early to help move furniture and setup would be great as well. Send me an email (contact information below) to let me know.
When is the next munch?
Munches are held every second Monday of every month (including Thanksgiving Monday in October). It will continue to be posted in this forum, on the official Breathless website, and in the calendar listing of local events available at the munch.
Rules & Etiquette1. All attendees must be 18 years of age or older - NO exceptions.
2. Privacy of each attendee must be protected. That means not sharing who attended, what they said, and what they did.
3. Everyone is equal. Touching without permission or behaving in a "dominant" manner is unacceptable. If someone's behaviour is making you feel uncomfortable, please notify the hostess.
4. This is not a play party or fetish event, so no scenes or playing.
5. No sexual activities other than a hug/kiss in greeting/farewell. Cuddling on the couch is permitted, but don't go overboard.
6. No drugs, either using or soliciting.
7. This is not a pick-up or dating service.
8. Vending is allowed and encouraged, but please notify Lady Pearl ahead of time.
9. No photography without first notifying the hostess and gaining express permission of those being photographed.
10. Be yourself and enjoy!!!A Word About Safety
* If you are a submissive, you are allowed to say "no" or to ask someone to stop. Regardless, there are no roles at the munch, and you should not feel pressured or obligated to do anything. Communication is key, and the more experienced person (be it Dom/me, sub, or switch) has the greater responsibility (in my opinion). (Rule #3)
* If you think something is inappropriate, or you witness something that seems inappropriate, I encourage you to bring it to my attention. All will be dealt with as equitably and confidentially as possible. (Note: Do not be a victim and blame only yourself)
* Generally, it's probably not a good idea to leave the munch with someone you don't know very well. There are other alternatives to getting to know someone better. A public place is usually the norm.Contact
If you have any questions, concerns, comments, or ideas, please contact LadyPearl via FetLife conversation or email (LadyPearl@BreathlessOttawa.com).

Description: It is a group for 'all' women interested in being, or who are, Femme Dommes.

Please bring your own devices for the second half.
This monthly event will float around the calendar, offering a different type of event each month for Female Dominants only, unless specified otherwise. This is a way for the newer Dommes to gain some knowledge and experience and ask questions of other, more experienced Dominants - with no fear of looking bad in front of their submissives. It also gives the more experienced Dommes a chance to share their skills and stories with the less experienced women.

BDSM Play Party (1)
BDSM Play Party (2)
Play As You Like Night
Luscious Large Lovers
BDSM Play Party (1)
$20/member ($20 for guest of member)
$5 Special Student Discount (must show student card or timetable)
Past members welcome - no need to renew your membership2nd Saturday of the month 9:00 pm - 2:00am
Sept 10th - Special `Back to School` BDSM Play Party
It's that time of year again - students/professors, books and school supplies, clothes shopping, etcetera. So put on your school duds and come and join us for the ever-popular "Back to School" BDSM play party!$5 Special Student Discount (must show student card or timetable)
Past members welcome - no need to renew your membership
Dress: Please dress appropriately in basic black, fetwear, leather, latex ... or nothing - but NO street clothes. If you like to have fun dressing to the theme (and I hope most people will), some ideas include, but are not limited to: schoolgirl/boy, teacher (e.g. gym, music, art), professor/schoolmarm, health nurse, geek, goth, jock/cheerleader/coach, crossing guard, cafeteria cook, etcetera.
Play Party
This BDSM play party is one dedicated for all you kinksters who enjoy role playing and having fun with the school theme. As such, the social area and play equipment will be laid out to depict various school settings. For instance (and not carved in stone):Play Area:
Detention (cage)
Principal's Office
Nurse's Office (massage table, medical paraphernalia)
School Yard / Play Ground
Classroom (with desks)
Social Area:Cafeteria (canteen, buffet and minimal seating)
Teachers' Lounge (you don't have to be a teacher to socialize here)
As you would expect in a school setting, the school yard and classroom play areas will be able to accommodate more than two people in a scene. So if you want to make a play date with other littles and their partners in the school yard, this is acceptable. Or perhaps there will be more than one student needing instruction in the classroom?Ideally, all involved have played together before and know/trust each other. You should negotiate your scene ahead of time and inform Miss Jenn of any unorthodox behaviour(s) that may cause some concern. Safety first!
Any latecomers may respectfully request to join in the play, in which case the present players have every right to decline. On the other hand, if you are accepted into the play scene, this does not give you "carte blanche" permission to play with anyone else other than your own play partner -- unless there has been CLEAR VERBAL CONSENT in response to you asking to do a specific thing to a specific person.
So you can:
Do a group scene for the classroom or schoolyard areas ONLY
Join a group scene in progress if EVERYONE in the scene agrees
Touch or play with others in the group scene IF you have been given clear and verbal consent
Precautions:Please be aware of space limitations. If there are already quite a few people in the group scene, just enjoy the show. Group scenes are only fun until a person gets a flogger from the neighbouring scene in the eye. Let's be respectful so that everyone will have fun.
NO running in the halls - or ANYWHERE else, for that matter. This includes in between play stations or around the social area. Again, safety first!**
School-themed or BDSM play is encouraged, but it is not in any way required!WARNING
Due to the nature of this play party, you will probably witness discipline, course language (in which case I hope the student will be sent to the principal's office), and nudity. There is also the potential for age play, silliness, immaturity, group play (designated areas only), and loud unruly students. The suitable "school" music (i.e. We Don't Need No Education, Smokin' in the Boy's Room, etc) will be played throughout the night. If ANY of these things might bother you, especially if you are scening, then perhaps you might think about attending on a different play party evening. Otherwise ... RRRIIINNNGGG!!! Time for class!Description

Kinky Wrestling: Lube-a-licious
Sept 23rd 7:00 p.m. - 2:00 a.m.This is the grand finale, the last of the Kinky Grappling events at Breathless. We've had a lot of great events up to now, but it's time to pull out all the stops.
To make this last one extra memorable, we will bring out the lube! That's right, from 11:00PM on we'll be doing oil wrestling. Get ready for some wet slippery action... and some wrestling too.
Dress: Whatever you feel comfortable wrestling in (most people wear shorts and t-shirt ... and some prefer nude). You're more than welcome to dress in theme too (ring girl, cheerleader, referee, paramedic, The Undertaker, etcetera)
You wanted it, so you got it! We will finally have another struggle play practice. So throw down a challenge, cheer on a kinkster, and have a great time. Come join us for some kinkier than ever struggle play!Note: This event was originally known as "Kinky Wrestling". Yep, I arbitrarily changed the name to "Struggle Play Practice" just because. Don't worry, nothing has changed as it will still be fun and it will still be kinky :)
Some Details
For all you manhandling, up-close-and-personal, aggression lovers, this is a great event where you can practice and experiment with grappling, wrestling and struggle play. No matter what level of experience you are, this is a chance to try and feel the excitement of struggling with your play partner, or anyone else you want to challenge! Negotiate a "match" or practice session with someone, and then just go for it! See below for some ideas.Proper mats will be laid on the floor in the main play area thanks to mr_O and MzTina. Comfortable front row seating will be placed all around for spectators. A 'referee" will be on hand to keep an eye on things and reduce the risk of people getting hurt. Mr_O will be there to offer his skills, knowledge, and experience to those who are interested in consulting with a professional. For example, you can learn some moves or ask advice on how to safely take someone down.
Judging from previous events, there will be people of all sizes and experience levels. Be sure to wear anything you feel comfortable wrestling in, or little to nothing at all (negotiated with wrestling partner). Spectators are welcome ... and I'm looking forward to ogling the ring girl (you know who you are) :)
Wrestling is encouraged, but it is not in any way required!
This is NOT a play party. As such, there will be no light buffet provided and alcohol is not permitted. Non-alcoholic drinks and snacks are available to purchase from the canteen, or feel free to bring your own. As always, donations are appreciated and will help offset Breathless operating costs.
Negotiating
To get the ideas flowing, following are examples of possible elements to be negotiated/mentioned before a match:Safety: please mention any health issues
Type: straight grappling, submission wrestling, kinky wrestling, tag team
Win indicator: pin for 3 count, tap out, verbal indication of submission, best 2 out of 3, just for practice
Handicaps: one-handed, grip inhibitor (mitten), start already pinned, 2 or more against 1
Ideas
Below are listed some matches that have taken place. Please use this as inspiration!Strip match (first person naked or near naked)
Pain match (first person to cry out/submit when punched/slapped)
Bondage match (first person tied)

A Note from Robyn
Well everyone, don't know what to say here, Most don't really know that this being the last fling in Breatheless brings an end to a milestone in the T Tuesday history. My personal hope for this T Tuesday is that everyone who supports the premise and goals of T Tuesday come out and show not only their support of those who at times have dared to take the step out of their homes to meet others like themselves for the first time. And to show support and thanx to Miss Jenn for providing a safe place for T Tuesday to call home over these few months. And for providing over the years a safe place for others regardless of sex/kink/fetish or social stratum. Thank you all for making this a reality.For all concerned, T Tuesday will move to another location -- So it is not an end but a new chapter.

Cuddle Party - Saturday, June 25, 8 PM
General Information
RSVP on FetLife (optional)
Date: Saturday, June 25, 2011
Time: 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM
Cost: $10 per person
Who: Any adult over 18, open to the public
Dress: Pyjamas or comfortable lounge wearCuddle Facilitator: Miss Jenn
Description
Ever felt the constraints of society which frowns on adults having physical interaction with others through touch and cuddling? Cuddle Party is an open, non-judgmental way to get that one-on-one touch you haven't been getting. It is a structured event that helps you to set up boundaries, communication, intimacy and affection with other attendees. It's a drug and alcohol-free way to meet fascinating people in a relaxing, non-sexual environment. A place where you can experiment with what makes you feel safe and feel good.This playful, fun event is a place for people to rediscover non-sexual touch and affection, a space to re-frame assumptions about men and women, and a great networking event to meet new friends, roommates, business partners and significant others.
Participants must arrive on time - the door will be locked at 8:30 PM! The first 15 minutes gives you time to change into pajamas and get to the Welcome Circle. The first 30 minutes or so will be spent on introductions, some background on what a Cuddle Party is, and to go over the rules. Miss Jenn will be the Cuddle Facilitator at this event, and she is there to ensure that all rules are being followed. Bring all questions or concerns to her at the event. The remainder of the evening will be spent breaking off into groups of two or more and cuddling, chatting, exchanging ideas, touching and caressing, all in a non-threatening way.
You do not have to cuddle with anyone you do not wish to, and you must receive a verbal yes before doing so. Rules will be posted and be read aloud so everyone understands them. If you are looking to hook up for a sexual encounter, this is NOT the place!
Dress Code: Pajamas or comfortable lounge wear. Leave the sexy, lacy stuff at home… think draw strings and cotton, not lace and satin. No shorts please! Clothes must stay on during Cuddle Party, so dress comfortably. Feel free to bring a pillow or stuffed animal if you like. It would be best that you bring a non-spilling drink container to pour anything you may purchase to drink into.
Please by hygienically savvy! Bad breath and body odor will not make you any friends.
