• Ask for Active & Explicit consent: Always ask before touching anyone, joining any play, or intruding on any scene.
• No is Enough: Accept & give refusal with grace. “No thank you” is not an invitation to keep asking. Ask with the expectation that “no” is an acceptable answer.
• Consent is not permanent: Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If it stops being fun, don’t push it.
• Respect limits: Respect the limits of your partner. Even when discussed prior to play, new limits might come up during the interaction too.
• Consent is for One: No one can give consent for another person. Subs do not automatically defer consent to their Doms during play.
• Be prepared: Always make sure your safety shears are within reach and always discuss medical considerations.
• Set clear Expectations: Clearly communicate your level of experience and any risks (like injuries or phobias).
• Play Sober: Unless finished with bondage for the session, you must remain sober. This includes alcohol and drugs. (If you go outside to get high, you are done playing for the session.)
• Ask before taking Photographs: Ask before taking any photos and ask a second time before posting to any social media.
• No “Sex”: Underwear should stay on, and bondage class does not involve penetration or getting off. Bunnies are encouraged to drop into subspace, or “bunny space,” as part of the process but sexual arousal is not the goal. (Note: foot worship and tickling are allowed!)
• Non-verbal safewords when gagged: Before gagging anyone, you must discuss non-verbal safe words.
ATTIRE We require that your underwear stay on while you are tied up. Appropriate attire for being tied includes any underwear, jockstraps, singlets, leggings/meggings, lyrca, tight-fitting spandex or even gear. We don’t recommend loose-fitting clothing, as it tends to bunch up.
