Naughty playrooms 2025: FAQs and more

At our events, you can truly express your sexual freedom in a safe, adults-only, non-judgmental, clean, and refined space surrounded by other like-minded adults and industry-leading professionals who make it their life’s work to protect you and ensure that you have a sexy and safe time.

You do not need to be non-monogamous or a swinger to attend Naughty N’awlins, but you need to have an open mind about these things. We have many couples who just want to watch (voyeurs) or their fantasy is being watched (exhibitionists). We have other couples who never go onto the play floor, and that is fine too. We respect everyone’s boundaries, and we want everyone to feel welcome and safe.

Our playrooms are the main attraction when it comes to demonstrating sexual freedom. Over the years, the Naughty playrooms have evolved. We’ve learned from experiences we’ve had all over the world and over decades of experience. Twenty-seven years after our very first play party, we are proud and grateful to be still evolving, staying on top of the changes, and constantly reinventing the way we provide you with a Naughty experience.

We always ask that you read our Naughty Consent Policy thoroughly before coming into the playrooms, even if you’ve already been to our events and played in the playrooms before. It’s good practice to stay informed about the latest customs and formalities of the lifestyle and sex-positive world, as they evolve, to avoid negative situations.

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about our Naughty playrooms, whether you're a first-time visitor or looking to update your knowledge of our rules, guidelines, and operations.

Are there different types of playrooms? Are they labeled, or are there different terms?

Yes! We segment our playrooms into various themes, with different intentions. We have a group playroom that’s set up for multiple parties to intermingle with each other easily. We have gorgeous playrooms with decadent tapestries and bedding that offer the perfect balance of privacy and exposure. The playrooms are all labeled on the outside of the rooms, so you know which one is which before you go in. They include:

Plus 1 Room: For Couples looking for singles

Exhibition and Voyeur Room: For more open play

Group Room: This is our largest room, with over 50 beds

Crystal Room: This is our prettiest room, with crystals and white lights

Semi-Private rooms: We have two playrooms with different colors for private or semi-private play

Bisexual Room: For bisexuals, and that includes both men and women

Toy Room: A room with the Sybian, Motor Bunny, Hitachi Wands, a swing, and other toys

Will the dress code be written or verbally explained?

Yes, there is a dress code—and it is strictly enforced. “Street clothes” or anything you would wear in a public setting is not allowed on the playroom floor. You must be in lingerie, pajamas, loungewear, or nude.

On the right is our “Naughty Dress Down” Policy, which you’re going to see outside of our playrooms.

When we attended events 20 years ago, most of them rented out a couple of hotel rooms and opened them up for people to play in. What we noticed is that they didn’t get much action. They were always empty, late into the evening, with people standing outside, talking loudly, with drinks in their hands. So, we decided to implement a dress code that encouraged people to take the playrooms more seriously and to differentiate between those who were playing and those who were monitoring the playrooms.

On the playroom floor, our staff will be wearing purple t-shirts with our logo, so you can easily identify them. They will be changing sheets, cleaning the beds with sanitizer, and handing out towels.

Where is nudity allowed, welcomed, and expected?

Nudity is allowed and welcomed on the playroom floor—nothing is EVER expected of you except for respect for others and yourself. You do NOT have to be nude. We provide towels so you can cover up, but it's a good idea to bring a robe with pockets, allowing you to carry your room key, lubrication, and condoms.

Note: We do provide condoms and lubricant in your welcome bags, and we have more on the Play Floor in case you forget. If you have a preferred brand, please bring it with you. Remember, there are lighted trash cans throughout the playrooms, so please dispose of your used condoms and wrappers properly. Don’t be a Condom Creep!

Will music be provided, or are we able to bring music to the playrooms?

We have music playing throughout our various playrooms to match the vibe of each one. Music is a very important part of setting the mood, which is why we’ve created several playlists that live on our Naughty Events Spotify channel to help create an erotic atmosphere no matter where you are. Inside the playrooms, we play a variety of music that will help you channel your inner Naughty side without being too distracting.

Some of the best playlists we have created or found are:

Can singles be in playrooms, or do you need to be in a couple? Are there specific playrooms that are strictly for homosexual play?

Our event is targeted at open-minded couples, but we do allow a limited number of singles (both women and men) into our event each year. To attend, they must call us and undergo an interview process to ensure they have experience with non-monogamy, are members of a club, group, or website, or have some form of experience that demonstrates their understanding of our concept. Most of our singles have been recommended by other attendees.

Once accepted, we will review the rules for singles, which are slightly different from those for couples. Singles can attend all the Bourbon St parties, the nightly theme parties, and most classes and seminars (exceptions include the couples' speed dating and couples' massage classes, unless they attend with another attendee).

We do have a Plus 1 room for singles (and couples looking for singles), but singles must get approval from our Plus 1 manager before the Play Floor opening, and they are restricted to this area of the Play Floor.

Poly triads, throuples, and committed partners of three or more are not considered singles, and they can all attend every activity and have no restrictions on the Play Floor, as long as they remain together.

Do you need to obtain consent from both members of a couple, or is consent from one partner sufficient?

Every couple is different and has its own set of rules. It’s always better to ask sooner rather than later what those rules are, what they are comfortable with, and if approval from the other partner is necessary, then make sure you get consent from them as well. Often in open relationships, it’s the communication factor that creates a sense of closeness and acceptance; it’s what makes it a lifestyle. You should be comfortable stating your wants and desires, showing respect and consideration for your partner by giving them a chance to accept or decline, and then proceeding with integrity and a clear conscience.

So, if you want to play with someone’s partner, respect the relationship that they are in, and allow them the opportunity to practice their openness by allowing them the chance to discuss consent to what you’re offering.

Are condoms required?

We will always advocate for safer sex. Free condoms are provided at all Naughty Events, so there is no excuse not to use them. If you choose not to use condoms at our events, you are responsible for any risks involved.

What about Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)?

We highly recommend getting tested before our events. In other words, “Know before you go!”

Shameless Care offers home kits that allow you to test yourself in the privacy of your own home. Your testing kit will arrive in a discreet package with a return label for easy shipment back to us. You can do the test at home and get your results by text. The results are simple and easy to share with others, so they can also know your status. Get your test here.

Do jealous altercations happen?

Sure, they do. And while there’s not much we can do to prevent that from happening, what we can suggest is that you and your partner have a clear (and preferably sober) conversation before getting on the playroom floor about what is and isn't allowed. Be sure to cover things like Is sex with someone else ok? Is kissing or touching others ok? Is it ok for us to have sex in front of other people? Do we have a safe word? What happens if one partner wants to leave? Cover as many bases as possible and stick to them. Be sure to clearly communicate your rules and boundaries to others in the playroom who approach you and might want to play. If you and your partner find yourselves in an argument or confrontation, please be respectful of others around you who are trying to enjoy their time and leave the playroom floor.

We offer numerous classes and seminars on jealousy and strategies for managing these emotions. We recommend that all new couples attend these classes before exploring our Play Floor.

How are things like rape, harassment, and bullying handled?

We are constantly fine-tuning our approach to creating a safe and sexy environment.

If you experience an issue or witness one occurring, please find someone wearing a purple shirt (our staff), and they will provide you with resources and connect you with our Consent Team.

We hope you will have an amazing time at Naughty N’awlins. Our Play Floor is just one aspect of our event and is not for everyone. It can be a fantastic experience, and we hope you at least check it out while at the event. Remember, we have staff here to help you through this experience, and you never have to do anything you do not want to do.

See you soon at one of our Naughty Events!
