BESS Resources for Newcomers

If you are new to bdsm, our goal is to make you feel welcome at BESS.  BESS has staff that are here to assist you and offers several resources that you may find helpful:

• We have a special point of contact for newcomers. If you have a question about BESS, about any other local resource, or about the BDSM lifestyle, e-mail us at new2bdsm@bess-md.org. We will be happy to assist you.
  
  
• We have a special group, the BESS-TNG (The Next Generation) that focuses on the needs of the younger members of the community (those between the ages of 19 and 35). Additional information can be found on the TNG SIG page under the SIGs link, or by e-mailing the TNG SIG Leader.
  
  
• We maintain a FAQ that may answer some of your questions and/or concerns about attending a BESS event for the first time. If you have any other questions then please e-mail us at new2bdsm@bess-md.org.
