BackDrop is currently closed, but that may change
In a nutshell, BackDrop can be described as:
Who
The BackDrop Club is run by its founder, Robin Roberts, and the men and women of the BackDrop staff
What
We are an organization for people interested in BDSM and adult fetishes and fantasies
When
Since 1966, we have been holding monthly and annual events, classes and workshops
Where
We have had about a dozen Clubhouses in the past fifty-plus years. We are currently in Mountain View, California
Why
When I got out of the Navy in 1966, I wanted to create a way for people to meet, greet, explore and learn about BDSM.
(As an experienced bondage photographer, I felt I had something to teach interested people.)
How
  • We hold parties (our monthly Open Dinner Party, the BackDrop Slave Auction, etc.);
  • hold classes (at BackDrop and other venues, including teaching at "The Learning Annex");
  • support the BDSM community (Folsom Street Faire, Folsom Fringe);
  • "spread the word" (Exotic Erotic Ball, TV appearances, "Leather and Lace Fashion Shows");
  • maintain and support informational websites (www.SM-201.org and, in the past, the BackDrop BBS, newsetters)
  • maintain a clubhouse and library (so people have a safe place to meet and play)
  • create and support a worldwide Resource Guide
  • producing monthly BackDrop newsletters
  • creating the BDSM-Archives.org Project (HSAL)

Membership

We have several classes of memberships at BackDrop. Potential members must complete an application. All applicants are vetted by our membership committee, which meets bi-weekly.

  • Newsletter members typically do not live in the Bay Area. However, they wish to be involved by keeping up with the club via our newsletters and visiting when they are in town.
  • Club members help support the club by paying dues and attending events - see Membership application
  • Staff members are here to make your experience more enjoyable and fall into one of several categories. It is the staff who organizes our events, teach classes, and some of the staff members provide professional sessions - see Staff membership application
  • Inner Circle members are invited to join our family.
  • We have a large number of people who visit BackDrop to Avail themselves of private session activity or room rentals - they are not members, merely clients.
