Membership Orientation
Open event, any adult may attend (ID required)
$30/personNext Orientation - Sat. Sept 18th, 7pm.
This orientation is required to become a member of Breathless. The orientation starts promptly at the time stated, but attendees are required to arrive 15-30 min early for registration purposes. 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.

Sept 13th
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 on a trial basis.
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!
If you have any questions, concerns, comments, or ideas, please contact LadyPearl via FetLife conversation or email (LadyPearl@BreathlessOttawa.com).
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).

It's a group where experienced Femme Dommes help new Femme Dommes just starting out in the realm of BDSM.The first half is discussion, and if there is time, the second half will be some hands-on practice. Please bring your own devices for the second half.

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.

The Play Party
This will be similar to a regular BDSM play party, but with the wrestling theme. Please note the summer special for past members of Breathless and the earlier start/end times. As always, donations are appreciated and will help offset Breathless operating costs.Please dress appropriately in basic black or fetwear - NO street clothes. If you like to have fun dressing to the theme, some ideas include, but are not limited to: cheerleader, sexy mat-cleaning attire, referee, coach, wrestling tights, paramedic, security, ring girl, Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker, etcetera.
A few play stations (i.e. St. Andrew's Cross, suspension point, spanking horse) will still be available for BDSM play in the semi-private area at the back (near the washrooms). BDSM play is encouraged, but it is not in any way required!
A light buffet will be served at around 10:30 p.m., and is included in the cost of admission. Non-alcoholic drinks and snacks are available to purchase from the canteen, and regular members may BYOB. Keep in mind that if you intend to play, play early and drink afterwards. Alcohol and BDSM/wrestling do NOT mix!
NOTE:
1. This is a members-only event. You must be a member of Breathless, or a guest of a member of good standing, to attend. If you are not a member, and would like to be, check the Breathless Memberbship page on how to become a member.2. Please follow play party rules and etiquette.
Wrestling and Struggle Play
Like the sense of helplessness you feel when you are held down and powerless? What gets your heart pumping more than when you struggle as hard as you can but end up submitting? Enjoy getting up close and personal, whispering goading remarks in your opponents ear, the physical challenge of dominating?No matter what level of experience you are, this is a great chance to try and feel the excitement of wrestling and struggling with your play partner, or anyone else you want to challenge! Mr_O will be there to offer his skills, knowledge, and experience to those who are interested in consulting with a professional. See below for more information about mr_O.
Mats (brought to you by mr_O and MzTina -- BIG thanks!) will be laid on the floor in the main play area, with comfortable seating all around for spectators. There will be wrestlers 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). Wrestling is encouraged, but it is not in any way required!
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 (see below), tag team
Win indicator: pin for a 3 count, tap out, verbal indication of submission, best 2 out of 3, just practice
Handicaps: one-handed, grip inhibitor (mitten), start already pinned, 2 or more against 1
Ideas for kinky wrestling:Strip match (first person naked or near naked)
Pain match (first person to cry out/submit when punched/slapped)
Bondage match (first person tied)
Kinky match (spanking, tickling, hair pulling, punching, biting, etc)
Stakes match (winner insert appropriate word(s) loser - i.e. spanks, fucks, gets served by, gets a massage from, gets a lap dance from) -- I'll see about setting up a tea service and products for foot and hand care.
Play match (bottom is wrestled down and tied before being dragged off to a play station) fans face with hands - now doesn't this sound HOT!?
Wrestling Rules & Protocols:1. You must sign up (at any time throughout the night) with your wrestling partner(s) to determine order of matches. There will be no nonconsensual wrestling allowed! All people in the match must be aware of and accept your challenge/play.
2. Each match will be refereed by LadyPearl, mr_O, MzTina, or other volunteers.
3. Please pre-negotiate your match(es) ahead of time. See suggestions above for ideas. You must inform the referee what everyone involved has agreed upon BEFORE you start your match.
4. One match at a time. Each match will be 10 minutes long, but you do not have to use the whole time allotted. Believe me, 10 minutes is plenty of time!
5. You must stay on the mats. At the referee's discretion, you may be told to restart in the centre.
6. No jewellery. Piercings must be removed or taped down. Removal of eyeglasses is recommended. Collars are okay if it's not sharp or can catch on anything.
7. Toys are allowed, but please keep in mind the safety factors.
8. Clean up after yourselves. Use the wipes provided if there is excessive sweating.
About mr_O:
For the past 5 years, mr_O has been attending events mostly in the Montreal BDSM community. He is a purple belt Jiu Jitsu instructor at a school in Montreal, with previous background in Judo and other martial arts. Training and competing in this sport for the last 9 years, mr_O won the Advanced Masters Light Weight belts at the Canadian Open (for both the Gi and no-Gi competitions). He has also won or placed at many other smaller competitions.Warning
Due to the nature of this play party, you will probably witness violence, course language, and nudity (wicked grin). There is also the potential for silliness, taunting, sexual dominance, and loud clapping/cheering. The suitable "fight" music (i.e. Eye of the Tiger, Burning Heart, 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 ... "Let's get ready to rumbuuuuuuule!!! (said in the voice of Michael Buffer - professional sports & entertainment announcer)
Erotic Massage Night
Fri Sept 17th, 8-1$20/members, $30/guest of member
A softer, gentler, more erotic night, our Erotic Massage starts out in the social area where you can pair or group up then move mid room to the massage tables. If things get hot and heavy, there’ll be a slightly more private area in the back. This is a Sex Friendly event, condoms and lube are provided. Bring your favourite oils, massage candles, or whatever else you like to use during a massage, and come join us for some hands on massage instruction (for those who’d like to learn a trick or two) followed by couple and group massage. (guys, bring a female friend if you can! Otherwise we’ll be heavy on males/short on females) Note the earlier start time... since it’s Fri and we’re all tired after a long work week, remember that we’ll be finishing up at 1am. Music will be of a relaxation style.
Clothing Swap
Free, open to the public, 18 yrs and olderNext Swap TBA
We have something special for you now that spring is upon us, the time of new growth, and frenzied cleaning! It is time once again for Breathless’ Spring Clothing Swap. An event where those articles of clothing that are just no longer your favorites, or never were, can find new homes where they will be loved and wanted. Have no closet space? No hangers? Gained or lost weight? Bag it all up and bring it to the Breathless Clothing Swap! The rules are simple, really.
- To keep things fair we ask that no one take more items than they have brought (until the end of the night after everyone has a chance to chose from the offerings).
- All items must be in good and clean condition and can include clothing of any description (fetwear, work wear, casual wear, lingerie, shoes, jewelry and accessories, handbags, etc). Adult sizes only: no kids clothes.
- Nothing for sale: exchange only.
- We ask everyone to arrive promptly at 7pm to sort their items into appropriate size piles, then relax for a bit (while not checking out the offerings) until 7:30 when everyone then gets to search for the best finds.
- Anything that has not found a home by the end of the night will be donated to a local charity.
