BDSM Space Sanctuary LAX Launches GoFundMe to Remain Open

LOS ANGELES — Southern California BDSM dungeon Sanctuary Studios LAX has launched a GoFundMe campaign to keep the location from closing.

"Since 2011, our community has called Sanctuary Studios LAX home," said Mistress Cyan, owner of Sanctuary LAX. "We have hosted fundraisers, weddings, memorials, support groups, educational classes, workshops and social events. Every year our Thanksgiving and Christmas fundraisers have collected truckloads of food and toys for those less fortunate. Many call Sanctuary 'the community center.'"

The 7,000-plus square foot, fully equipped BDSM facility has served the professional and lifestyle BDSM community for over 20 years. Pre-COVID, during the week, Sanctuary LAX would serve as a sessions location for dommes and subs; after-hours and on weekends it would host events, many operating at the same time.

Joanna Angel, Ernest Greene and Ken Marcus are just a few in the adult industry who have filmed at Sanctuary LAX. Fat Mike of NOFX was among the most recent to shoot at the location for his show "Unsafe Words," just before COVID-19 regulations would require Sanctuary LAX to close. During the summer, Mistress Cyan was allowed to briefly reopen for sessions, which ended after coronavirus cases surged last fall. The location has been legally open to private shoots with safety precautions, but according to a rep those bookings have been few.

"We thought we could weather the storm with savings and the SBA loan, but those resources are being depleted,” said Cyan. “Every penny donated will go strictly towards the operating expenses such as rent, insurance, utilities and loan payments.”

“We want to be there for you again when it’s safe to re-open,” Cyan added. “Please consider helping us ride this out with your support so that we can continue to be that 'community center' once again. With sincere gratitude, I appreciate your support, both past and present. Please share this with your leather families and friends in the adult industry and BDSM community."
