RULES OF PERSONAL BEHAVIOR
THE DO'S AND DON'TS
Subject To Change Without Notice
DO RESPOND TO INVITATIONS!
It IS a great idea to RSVP when it's requested, even when you are not planning on attending a private party. MOST hosts STRONGLY DISCOURAGE late RSVP's, and the arrival of guests who aren't on the guest list.
DON'T BE EXCESSIVELY LATE!
It IS a great idea to plan to arrive no later than an hour after the start of the party. This gives you plenty of time to meet and greet other guests.
DO BE FRIENDLY!
It IS a great idea to introduce yourself to everyone when you enter. Remember that a casual greeting IS an indication of friendliness NOT attraction or interest. Whether or not you are interested in playing with someone, be polite. Simply say "Hello" or smile back. If the subject of play comes up just say, "No, thank you", if you're not interested.
DON'T BE A WALLFLOWER!
It IS a great idea to mingle and make conversation. Remember that casual conversation IS a way for people to get better acquainted and vibe with you.
DO ACCEPT "NO" FOR AN ANSWER!
If you are interested in playing with someone, it IS a great idea to let them know in a respectful way. Keep in mind that everyone in the Lifestyle has the right to say "NO" at all times, to anyone, without explanation. When someone tells you, "NO", you ARE NOT permitted to ask "Why not?" or ask a second time.
DON'T BE OVERLY-SENSITIVE!
It IS a great idea to learn how to handle a "No, thank you", graciously. If you are rejected (and it happens to everyone, including women), DO NOT take it personally.
DO BE COURTEOUS!
It IS a great idea to treat others with the same care, kindness, consideration, compassion and respect that you want to be treated with. You never know, you may share other interests or you may see that person again, and they may introduce you to someone with whom you ARE compatible and share a mutual attraction and chemistry with.
DON'T BE OVERLY-AGGRESSIVE!
Stalking, harassing or pressuring other guests IS NOT permitted.
DO YOU!
It IS a great idea to socialize, participate in games and contests, dress down and engage in play at your leisure!
Do only what you want, when you want, where you want and with whom you want.
Respectfully decline advances from anyone that you ARE NOT attracted to or interested in playing with.
DON'T FEEL PRESSURED!
You ARE NOT required or obligated to participate in social activities, dress down or engage in play. This includes but is not limited to: games, contests, raffles, themes, etc. at MOST private parties.
DO BE FRESH & CLEAN!
Good hygiene IS extremely important! Nothing turns a person off faster and more effectively than an unclean body, pungent body odor or bad breath.
Even if you take a shower before you leave home, it is always a good idea to freshen up before you engage in play and in-between scenes and sessions.
MOST hosts provide a good supply of mouthwash and have showers available for use by their guests.
DON'T FORGET YOUR HYGIENE PRODUCTS!
It IS a great idea to bring your preferred hygiene products, towel and a change of clothes with you just in case you need to freshen up throughout the night.
DO PRACTICE SAFE PLAY!
Condoms are REQUIRED (including during play with your own partner) at MOST private parties.
With the present concern over STIs, including HIV and AIDS, and unplanned pregnancies, the use of condoms SHOULD NOT offend anyone.
DON'T FORGET YOUR PLAY BAG!
It IS a great idea to stock your play bag with your preferred brand of condoms, flavored condoms, dental dams, flavored lube, water-based lube, anal desensitizer, pleasure products, adult toy cleaner, lingerie, boxers, robes, etc. and take it with you to a private party.
DO ENJOY YOURSELF!
Have a good time!
MOST hosts work hard to make you feel welcome, accepted, safe and comfortable.
Act out your fantasies, explore your own sexuality, put on an exhibition and enjoy everything the Lifestyle has to offer with enthusiasm, an open mind and a positive attitude.
Or, just sit back, observe and take it all in.
DON'T OVER-INDULGE!
Know and respect your limits!
If you have to be drunk or high in order participate in social activities or engage in play, this may not be the community for you.
Over-indulging may also hamper your physical abilities, as well as offend or turn other people off to you.
If a guest repeatedly gets so drunk or high that they pass out, MOST hosts will ban or blacklist them.
DO BE MINDFUL OF YOUR PARTNER(S)!
Couples and polycules, talk about your soft limits and hard boundaries BEFORE you arrive at the event. Establish mutually agreed-upon rules and adhere to them for the duration of the event.
Make a "safe word" to subtly signal discomfort or disapproval. Once the "safe word" is said STOP the session or scene IMMEDIATELY, so that you and your partner(s) can go discuss the issue.
If you and your partner(s) CANNOT settle a misgiving, take the conversation home to talk about it further in private.
DON'T AIR YOUR DIRTY LAUNDRY!
Couples and polycules, DO NOT divulge intimate details about the inner workings of your relationship with casual acquaintances or playmates at the event.
It IS a great rule of thumb to keep your very private, personal business to yourselves.
DO NOT give others the opportunity to fixate on or gossip about you, your partner(s) or your relationship(s).
Openly discussing your struggles and troubles with others gives them an invitation to weigh in with their often unwanted opinions, and offer their often unsolicited advice.
