Naughty Events Consent Policy
Consent is the #1 rule at ALL of our events. It is what allows us to provide you with a safe, fun, and freeing time. Studies have also shown that asking consent first allows your partner to deepen their pleasure (if they consent) because they have fully agreed to the pleasure coming in and have a sense of safety with the person asking. Our motto is always “If it’s not a ‘Hell Yes,” then it’s a ‘Hell No!” When you come to our events, be sure to follow the rules below and know that others need to follow rules too when communicating with you.
Here is our Naughty Consent Policy:
1. No touching people or personal property without permission.
2. Treat everyone as an equal and only engage in verbal role-play if you have permission. For example, don’t call someone a “Mistress” or “slave” or any other role-play or derogatory words like “bitch”, “slut” and “whore” unless you’ve asked for permission.
3. Negotiate the scope of your play prior to the activities, including whether there will be any contact with areas like the breasts, butts, and genitals. Each person must give verbal consent to the proposed acts before any playing or scenes begins.
4. Each participant is responsible to make sure everyone involved has the mental and emotional ability to give informed and voluntary consent for the scene. If someone is obviously intoxicated, they cannot consent. Please report them to our staff members.
5. Depending on all participants’ state of mind, we recommend that you don’t renegotiate in the middle of playing or in the middle of your scene. When a person is in subspace or otherwise not in a clear state of mind, you may not have informed consent even though they agree in the heat of the moment.
6. Anyone can withdraw consent, make a nonverbal safe sign or use the universal safeword “Red” at any time. Once consent is removed, the activity must stop immediately. Partners need to share the safe words or safe signs that are being used.
7. In BDSM play, the top is legally responsible for stopping the activities at any suggestion that the bottom has withdrawn consent. The bottom is ethically responsible for being transparent and unequivocal when withdrawing consent.
8. If you experience or witness a consent incident, tell a playroom monitor or clearly marked staff member (look for the purple shirts) immediately. Violation of this consent policy may result in expulsion from the event or group. No one is exempt from the rules.
Disclaimer: Every reasonable effort will be made to enforce this policy, but Naughty in N’awlins makes no representations or guarantees about its ability to do so, and all participants/attendees retain full, sole responsibility for their safety and the safety of others with whom they interact.
