• 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• Consent is not permanent: Consent can be withdrawn at any time.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.
• 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.
