Fruity Film Society is a queer film club meeting in Denver. Its purpose is to bring together members of the local queer community as we engage with our art, culture, and history. Sie FilmCenter has generously allowed us to use the Henderson-Withey Lounge in their lobby to host our screenings. Meetings are free to attend, and you do *not* need to be a Denver Film Member. We meet once a month, and each screening is kept a mystery (with some clues thrown in, of course). All films shown feature queer narratives, queer creators, and/or cultural importance within the queer community. We’re interested in films big and small, from all over the world. You’ll see some queer classics, as well as some hidden gems.

Please come join us for our next meeting on 2/16/26! There is a discussion segment at the end of every screening so we can all get to know each other and share in our appreciation for film. Out of respect for Sie, please don’t bring any outside food or beverages with you aside from water. They’ve got concessions and a full bar if you need anything. Hope to see you there!

Older, Wiser, Sexually Smarter - Rediscovering Intimacy Later in Life
2026-02-17 14:00 - 15:30 | Stonewall Meeting Room, 1301 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, Colorado, 80218
Older, Wiser, Sexually Smarter - Rediscovering Intimacy Later in Life
This weekly discussion group is facilitated by a West of 50 staff member and focuses on dismantling sexual misconceptions and introducing evidence-based topics to help older adults engage in their best sex-positive-selves. The group operates based on important and fundamental concepts about sexuality and ages. Older adults can examine and possibly change the “sexual scripts” they have learned from childhood about to think and behave as sexual people. Many of these scripts are not relevant for older adults. Additionally, sex is more than intercourse. Especially in the later years, individuals can to explore the possibilities of non-penetrative sex, or “outercourse”.
We cover topics such as

Sexual decisions later in life
Good Sex: What Makes it So
Looking for Love Later in Life
Safer Sex Activities for Older Adults
From Problems to Possibilities: Sexuality, Aging, Disability, & Chronic Illness
Bottoming
Nipple play
Bondage & Discipline
Dominance & Submission
Sex History
Oral Sex
And so much more!
