General Rules

Any violation of the rules might result in a hard ban from our future events. We might also share the incident report to other kink groups, especially in case of severe consent violations.

DM & Hosts (on duty) will be wearing a bright neon green harness.

1. Consent matters.
   Ask for explicit consent before engaging in any activities with others. Always ask before touching, that goes for people and their belongings. When in doubt, always ask first. Only an enthusiastic YES is a yes. It is also important to clearly communicate the potential risk of the play to the best of your ability.

2. Inclusivity is vital.
   There is zero tolerance for hate speech. Help create a safe space for everyone, regardless of their role, gender, ethnicity, orientation, religion, experience, or skill level.

3. Respect others’ scene & space.
   Do not interrupt the scene and aftercare. If you have something important to ask, or need to notify someone who's in the scene, always approach the Top first with a quiet voice and polite manner.

4. Protect the venue.
   Please respect the venue, do not vandalize or go to closed off areas. Do not share details or location of the venue with non-attendees. If someone approaches you and asks for the address, point them to @Shibari_Nocturne

5. Dress vanilla outside of the event area.
   Be discreet. There are vanilla people in the street. If you wish to step outside, please at least wear a big coat over your kink wear.

6. No photos. Phones are only allowed at the check in area.

7. Play responsibly
   Alcoholic drinks, cannabis and other recreational substances are not allowed. Please be responsible and only participate when you are sober.

8. No breath play. No golden shower/scat play. No sharp/blood play. No fire play.

9. No penetrative/oral sex.
   Penetrative & oral sex is not allowed for any gender/orientation (includes fingering). Please limit your sexual/sensual play on genitals to foreplay only: touching, tying, vibrating, rubbing, slapping, etc. Always put down a waterproof pad under your play area if you are planning to be fully naked.

10. No smoking / vaping.

11. No glitter.

12. The DMs & Hosts are here to help, but not here to parent you.
    If someone is making you uncomfortable, go to the DMs, or ask your friend to accompany you to do so. We are here to help.

If you see something, say something (to the DMs/Hosts)
We need your help to create a safe space for everyone. If you notice something that doesn't seem quite right, speak up. Or please tell our DMs or the Hosts.

See our more detailed guidelines to plan your scenes.
