*Scenes where body fluids not listed above are going to create a mess are banned.

Etiquette
- If you are unsure or have concerns about someone or something that is happening, please bring this to the attention of an organiser or DM, we’re there to sort things out and make sure everybody feels safe and comfortable.
- This is a kink space and people will have pre-established dynamics. Make sure to show respect towards any ongoing dynamics.
- Give space for scenes in progress and ensure that your scene has enough space.
- Account for back swing of floggers, whips, etc. Don’t attempt to do an impact scene right next to an area where people are going to be walking.
- If you want to watch a scene, keep conversation minimal, respectful and quiet. If there is no room to watch a scene, you aren’t watching it.
- Pick an appropriate space for your scene, if your scene involves loud noises, keep that scene away from the quieter spaces.
- The upstairs space is for impact and loud scenes. The main downstairs space is for quieter scenes like pet-play and hypno. The bed area is for hypno or intimate scenes
- If you are unsure about your scene and where to do it, ask a DM.
- Make sure to give space for people who have just had a scene to have aftercare, this might mean giving up your seat if there is no space for them elsewhere. If you need some space for aftercare, and you cannot find any, ask a DM to help you out.
- Doms/Tops and Subs/Bottoms are equally responsible for communicating preferences, limits, boundaries, experience, and aftercare.
- If you are unsure of a rule, how to approach a scene, or would just like some advice on something, talk to a DM. They are there to help.
- Do not attend if tested positive for COVID-19 or unwell.
- No scenes in social areas (The Kitchen, Changing room, Outside).
- Be careful to not block access to the play equipment, walkways or doorways. Do not sit around chatting using play equipment, someone else might want to use it.
- Wash your hands before a scene, keep your own equipment clean when using it on different people.
