was a one-day national conference organized by the Center's Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Institute ( SOGI ) and the Community-Academic Consortium for Research on Alternative Sexualities ( CARAS ) , based in San Francisco.

Afternoon sessions of the conference approached a range of issues, including the prevalence of internet sex sub-cultures, and aging in the BDSM ( bondage/discipline/sadism/masochism ) world. A presentation by David Moskowitz discussed HIV in the leather community while another, by Benjamin Graham and Clarisse Thorn, considered the role of supportive social groups in the BDSM experience. Poster presentations included one entitled “Ultra-Vanilla: Non-Penetrative Gay Male Sex as a Healthy and Hot Alternative Practice.” Conference participants ranged from those who had some to a great deal of experience with alternative sexual lifestyles, and the question-and-answer sessions appeared lively and engaged.
