FWB is a private social club in Los Angeles founded by queer women for open-minded people to meet, explore, and play.
-
We host a variety of workshops, social, and play events. While we are a kink-friendly community, we are not so much kink-focused. Our play events are more rooted in sensual exploration and play.
-
Our workshops are typically 5-25 people.
Our socials range from 10-100 people.
Our play events range from 10-30 people, with most being around 15.

1. Apply online
2. Attend a new member interview with a member of our team
3. Purchase a membership.
4. RSVP to an event and purchase a ticket.
All attendees must submit an application and be approved prior to RSVPing or attending an event. We recommend at least 2-4 weeks lead time for approval, and longer if you are applying as a single straight man without a member referral.

Of course! We pride ourselves on being newbie friendly and have designed our programming to be inclusive of a wide-range of experience.
-
Drugs, weapons, and unapproved guests are not permitted at fwb events.
-
Our guest policy varies event to event. As a general policy, all attendees of play events must be approved members. When RSVPing for an event, check the event page for details on the guest policy for that specific event.
-
While we strongly encourage all of our members to get regular STI screenings, we do not require proof of STI results to attend our parties. We provide black wristbands to people who have shared negative STI results for HIV 1 & 2, hepatitis B & C, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphillis from the past 30 days. You can email, text, telegram, or share your results in person with staff at the event to receive your wristband.
There are so many risk-free ways to engage in pleasure at our events (massage, sensual touch, watching, good conversation etc). If you’re unsure of your status, we encourage you to err on the side of caution for the health and safety of yourself and our community.
-
We take safety very seriously at fwb. We do our best to create a safe container, and rely on our members to help us keep our community safe. If you see something, feel unsafe in a particular situation or with a specific person, please alert us in-person at the event or via email or text later. We ban members who violate our ground rules.
When reported behavior is in the gray area (not explicitly breaking any ground rules, but flirting with the line, or generally making people feel uncomfortable), we privately reach out to the member with a warning and the opportunity to discuss, learn, and improve their behavior for future.
