Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
APEX Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are for members of the BDSM Community who share a common interest that come together to talk, share, and support one another. Keeping with the Arizona Power Exchange mission of support, APEX provides space to these discussion groups free of charge, and membership in the club is not required. If you are interested in any of these discussion groups, please check our calendar for the schedule. Anyone over 18 who shares an interest with the group may attend. If you are interested in facilitating a S.I.G. that is not currently represented, please email: [email protected]
Monthly SIGs
Book Club
APEX book club is here! First Sundays of the month at 12:30pm, we will be meeting to discuss a non-fiction book about our community. This could be instructional, a memoir, educational, or just plain interesting. You do not need to have finished the book to attend club meetings, just be aware that spoilers for the book will be allowed in the discussion. Come hang out and give your input on our current reading and on future selections.

Non-Monogamy SIG
Non-Monogamy is the practice of engaging in open relationships such as swinging, polyamory and hierarchical power exchange configurations. These relationships are consensual with all involved and require honest and ongoing communication between participants.
For any and all interested in all aspects of Non-Monogamy, join us as we explore and learn more about various types of open relationships, discuss topics relevant to open relationships and meet other people from the non-monogamy community.
LGBTQIA+
Calling all Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual, Queer & Questioning Kinky Folks!
If you are seeking a group of like-minded individuals to laugh, share, and discuss the often unique challenges and joys we encounter in this lifestyle, please join us at APEX the FIRST Wednesday of the month from 7:15pm to 9:30 pm.
Each month we will grow and develop our community within the Community. If you identify as LGBTQIA+, or are a partner and friend of someone whom identifies as LGBTQIA+ then please join us as we facilitate this Special Interest Group.
Each month, we’ll gather together as a group to meet & mingle, then break into smaller groups to discuss the things most important to us, the things we’re struggling with, the things we want to celebrate, and help each other get the support we need.
