🎉 Intro to Protocol
Fresh Meet looks a little different this night... Kitsap ACES is collaborating with WHiP to bring you a relaxed evening of connection, community & kink protocol practice.
📅 Date: Thursday, September 26
🕢 Time: Please arrive by 7:30 PM
📍Location: Kitsap ACES
🎭 Dress Code: Vanilla to the door, then Dress to Impress!

💬 What’s This All About?
This event is for anyone in the kink, BDSM, or power exchange community who’s curious about High Protocol or wants a space to practice it with others. You don’t need any experience. Just bring an open mind, a respectful attitude, and your role mindset (whatever that means for you).
Whether you’re a Dominant, submissive, switch, or still figuring things out, this is a place to explore structure, etiquette, and service in a low-pressure, welcoming environment.
🌟 What You’ll Get Out of It
This night is designed to:
✔️ Help folks in the High Protocol community connect
✔️ Make High Protocol feel less intimidating and more approachable
✔️ Give everyone a shared sense of service, respect, and structure
✔️ Offer hands-on chances to try out protocols in a safe, consent-based way
You’ll get clear guidance, supportive structure, and space to explore how protocol works without needing to be “perfect” or “experienced.”
