This concern which

interests us more than anything else:

The blurring of the distinction

between art and life.

~ Marcel Duchamp

Société Anonyme is a pioneering members-only organization dedicated to exploring unconventional modes of self-expression. Our vision is to create a healthy and safe community of like-minded individuals interested in boundary-expanding kink experiences. Through our thoughtfully curated sex-positive events, performances, and publications - we offer our members elevated encounters that delight and surprise the mind and body.

Founded by creative partners Badenov, Beatrix and professional dominatrix Violet the Impaler, Société Anonyme aims to bring to the New York City kink community the same disruptive ethos that Katherine Dreier, Man Ray, and Marcel Duchamps brought to the world in 1920 with their organization of the same name. Just as their “société” challenged traditional norms of the art world by rejecting conformity and encouraging experimentation, we too aim to be a hub for those interested in exploring alternative lifestyles and expressions of sexuality.

Our membership encompasses a diverse array of individuals—kinky practitioners, fetishists, voyeurs, exhibitionists, lovers of the perverse, aficionados of the unconventional, and connoisseurs of all that make life pleasurable. While our events cater to this eclectic audience, they are tailored to resonate most deeply with those who, like our founders, possess a fervent appreciation for art, immersive performances, and exquisite culinary experiences.

Code of Conduct

Cultivating a community of responsible, vetted hedonists is how we guarantee safety and sustainability for our guests. Membership is required to attend all Société Anonyme events. Maintaining a degree of ‘inclusive exclusivity’ allows us to preserve the ethic that our guests are able to fully indulge in the experience, unmasked and unencumbered. 

All current and prospective members are responsible for understanding our consent policy. Please make yourself familiar with our policies below:

  • This is an ‘ask first’ / ‘enthusiastic consent’ event and the tenets of consent will be strictly enforced. This policy includes, but is not limited to: touching others, giving clear and graceful refusals or acceptance, respecting others refusals, and not insisting or coercing when someone has already said no.

  • Our recognized safewords are ‘red’ and ‘yellow’. ‘Red’ means stop what you’re doing and check-in with your partner(s). ‘Yellow’ means slow down, go lighter, or do something different.

  • There is a zero tolerance policy for open drug use. Additionally, excessive alcohol consumption is discouraged, and if you are deemed too intoxicated to behave responsibly, you will be asked to leave.

  • Do not intrude on other guests’ scenes. As you make your way through the evening, be mindful of other guests indulging in their own perversions. If you see something you like, we invite you to be a voyeur. Look (from a respectful distance), but please don’t touch.

  • You are encouraged to explain your level of experience, ability, and any risks that come with play that you engage in with new partners.

  • Guardians are always present at our events, and can be identified by their glowing red arm bands. Guardians are there to field any issues you may come across regarding other guests’ behavior, consent violations, space cleanliness, etc.

  • We do not tolerate racism, ageism, sexism, classism, misogyny, misgendering, transphobia, fatphobia, ableism, or kink-shaming. Please ask for pronouns if you don’t know them.

  • Refrain from culturally appropriative attire. Racist or insensitive outfits are not allowed, and you will be asked to change before being granted access to our parties. If you are unsure if something is allowed, please reach out and ask us beforehand.

  • We do not allow fire play, glitter, water and/or food play, and anything else that could cause damage to our venues.

  • Aggressive cruising or objectifying behavior is not tolerated.

  • Feel empowered to educate others on violations. If someone violates the policy with you, you are welcome to correct them. It can be helpful to remind them of acceptable behaviors or approaches that they can implement in the future.

  • Violating any of the above mentioned policies will result in consequences from our organizers. Membership to our community is a privilege, and your membership may be suspended or revoked at any time. 

  • Société Anonyme is a members-only organization. Non-members will not be allowed to attend our events, even if they are accompanied or vouched for by a current member.
