Consent is the prerequisite for nonviolent and respectful interaction with one another. Especially when people are undressing in a semi-public space and expressing their sexual energy, those participating are vulnerable. A wide variety of personalities come together, and not everyone is always able to stand up for themselves and their own boundaries in every situation. That is why consent rules exist: they define and establish the framework and boundaries for how people interact with one another.
Consent means a shared agreement between people regarding a specific matter, without any hidden or explicit disagreement.
On kinky parties, the principle of consent is generally the fundamental basis for respectful interaction and the primary standard used by the Awareness Team in their work.
The consent rules are:
- A No means No.
- The absence of a Yes also means No.
- No touching without prior consent.
- No persistent persuasion or pressure.
- No is a complete sentence and requires no explanation.
- Never interfere in someone else’s play without being explicitly invited to do so.
- Distance is respect.
Compliance with these consent rules is mandatory at our events. Any violation of these rules will result in immediate and permanent exclusion from all of our events. If you witness inappropriate or boundary-violating behavior, or experience it yourself, please seek help immediately. Our Awareness Team and club staff are trained and prepared to handle such situations. Feel free to approach us at any time, or ask other guests to contact the Awareness Team on your behalf.
