Let's start with Kinky Salon, which is not by definition a "sex club" it allows sex but that is not the focus of the event. The focus is fostering a sense of community and open dialogue in atmosphere that allows everyone (Poly/bi/switch/pansexual/trans/queer/monogamous/triad/furry/cosplay/blahblahblah) to come together in a vibrant and open space (provide you agree to the publicy posted and community agreed upon "rules") and interact with one another. There are no spoken or unspoken rules about how one must or must not express their sexuality (except again for the posted "rules"). There are tons of people who attend and never ever have sex, they come to get dressed up, meet great people and enjoy the entertainment. There are people who come and have sex with one another so others can watch. There are people who come to sing. There are people who come to smoke thin black cigarettes on the patio and reject the triune god.

Pink is a Pansexual Play Party open to couples and triads only. As stated it is a Play Party but again the extend of play one wishes to engage in is driven by the individuals themselves, there is no spoken or unspoken expectation that by being present you must have sex with your partner, yourself or anyone else. My understanding of Pink is that it was an event created by Scott and Polly for the Kinky Salon community to have a party that was less focused on costumes and planning and event coordinating and more focused on hanging out with friends and getting "busy" (should one wish to) in a less chaotic enviroment.

Of course, I defer to Scott and Polly on all things KS and Pink, but I have been coming to the events for sometime now and I think I got the major points.

Peace out, yo!

Halcyon-
I've been going to parties at Mission Control for about 4 (?) years or so and am now in a Mono relationship and Still go to as many parties there as we can. I believe we have attended ks, pink, clubs kiss and don't feel any pressure and feel totally comfortable. They are my family and wouldn't reject me just because we are choosing to be mono at this time. I've even had a few thank me for still coming around to poly/alt parties. Think less focus on sex and more focus on people
