Our 12 Consent Rules

To keep our space safe, respectful, and enjoyable for everyone, we ask all participants to follow these essential consent rules:

1. Always approach from the front.
Never touch or surprise someone from behind, not even for a hug. Make sure you have eye contact and mutual acknowledgment before any physical interaction.

2. Seek consent every time.
Whether it is a hug, a touch, or play, always ask first and wait for a clear, enthusiastic yes. A lack of response, hesitation, or uncertain body language means no.

3. Build connection before making proposals.
While we value verbal consent and direct communication, please avoid making intense or sexual proposals without any buildup, connection, or context. Take time to engage, read the energy, and ensure mutual comfort before asking.

4. Be extra careful with people under the influence.
If someone has used drugs or alcohol, always check in verbally and clearly before any interaction. Intoxicated people may not be in a state to give proper consent. When in doubt, pause or stop.

5. Know your dose.
Use consciously and avoid overindulgence in drugs or alcohol. Our events thrive on awareness, connection, and care — stay present and mindful.

6. Nudity is not an invitation.
Many people express themselves through nudity or sensuality. This is not a signal for touch or sexual intent. Always respect boundaries, regardless of appearance or attire.

7. The playspace is not a cruising zone.
It is a consensual play environment, not a place for unsolicited advances. Interactions begin with communication, not assumption.

8. No photography or filming.
Cameras, phones, and recording devices are not permitted in any area where intimacy, nudity, or play may occur. Privacy and trust are essential to our community.

9. Do not assume everyone is here to play.
Our community includes people of all relationship styles. Some are monogamous, others are not open to play, and many come simply to dance, connect, or enjoy the atmosphere. Never assume consent or intent based on presence.

10. Manage your energy and self-awareness.
If you are emotionally charged, very intoxicated, or sexually frustrated, step back and self-regulate before engaging with others. Everyone is responsible for the energy they bring into the space.

11. Support others if you witness a boundary being crossed.
If you see something that feels off, check in with the affected person first and offer support. You don’t have to confront anyone, but silence can reinforce unsafe behavior. Community care means looking out for one another.

12. Curiosity does not equal availability.
Asking questions, observing, or expressing interest in play does not mean someone wants to participate. Interactions or openness with one person do not imply availability to others. Always clarify before assuming involvement.


After each event, we invite everyone to share their experience through a community feedback form, including reflections on consent and safety. This helps us learn, grow, and keep our spaces supportive and respectful.

If someone is named for crossing consent boundaries, we take it seriously. The organizing team will review the feedback carefully, and such reports may affect that person’s ability to join future Curious Creatures events.
