Texas Power Exchange Contest

TX Power Exchange

About 

From their Fetlife: Beyond Vanilla is an annual conference geared towards educating individuals interested in exploring the sex positive lifestyles. It is a weekend filled with classes from developing hands-on skills to building strong, healthy relationships. What began as a safe sex workshop has evolved into an educational conference about creating sex positive spaces, how to do what we do safely and consensually, with the primary focus on newer community members.


In 1984, as the AIDS crisis was gaining momentum, a men’s BDSM group called the Disciples of de Sade was founded. They began holding seminars in the small meeting room in the back of the Dallas Gay Alliance, with 15-20 people in attendance. Through the years, the presentations grew, moved locations, and became known as Beyond Vanilla. In 1990, it was turned over to the then young club, National Leather Alliance - Dallas, who has grown and shaped it to what we know today.
