~ Bringing Women Together ~

 Radical and Wicked Women (RAWW, formally LARAWW) is a Southern California-based BDSM group that brings women together to share knowledge, chat, flirt, eat, have fun and of course, play.  Our goal is to foster a welcoming organization that provides a safe, discreet and supportive environment for women to explore and share their interest in kink, bondage, discipline, domination, submission, sadomasochism and leather or any combination. We are inclusive to all orientations, this is a group for "all" women to interact and learn.
 
  Although we do not have strict membership guidelines, we do have a few core principles that we follow: 
 - We only promote safe, sane and consensual relationships and play. 
- All women are deserving of respect.  It is each of our responsibilities to create a positive, affirming environment.
- Diversity makes us strong.  We welcome all women, eighteen years of age or older, regardless of sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, class, background, size, physical ability or BDSM identity. (for more details see our frequently asked questions).
-  Open communication and involvement is essential to a healthy organization.  Ideas and feedback are welcomed and everyone is encouraged to contribute what they can by volunteering, supporting events or teaching workshops.
- All experience levels are welcome especially new-comers, recognizing that we all were new to the scene once and it takes courage to take the first step.   We welcome our experienced players too as we rely on them to share knowledge and mentor.

We have an expanded board of directors that is dedicated to bringing you quality, educational workshops, exciting play parties and fun social events. Have a question about safe play? Looking for a play partner, a mentor? RAWW events or messageboards are great places to connect.

  We meet every 2nd Saturday of the month at The Academy (unless otherwise noted) which is a beautiful loft/dungeon in downtown Los Angeles.
