CONVERSATIONAL CONSENT
Be aware of your audience, which is a mix of vanilla and spicy community members. Sex, kink, or BDSM related content is not the focus of these events. Voyeuristic sharing of these categories may make others feel unwelcome in this space, and should be reserved for private spaces that have full consent of all people in the space.
CONSENT AND BOUNDARIES
You may see people hugging, kissing, and cuddling at this event. Don't assume what someone does with others is wanted with everyone. Always ask before entering someone's personal space.
No Hard cruising (Flirting with everyone of a certain type, asking for contact info or a date right away without mutual interest).
HOLDING SPACE FOR EACH OTHER
If you feel comfortable doing so, hold space for each other. Holding space means letting others share their truth, without assumptions, judgment, unwanted advice, or trying to fix things. Sometimes, this is the only pace for a person to just be, and to express what they are going through.
NOTAFLOF Ticket Policy
No one is turned away for lack of funds. If the cost of a ticket means you would choose not to attend, please get a ticket and write "Free" in the promo box - the total cost of the shiny golden ticket will be $0. No questions asked.
