Understanding etiquette in the swinging and kink scenes is really important for respectful interactions. Engaging in these lifestyles requires a solid foundation of values that prioritise the safety and comfort of all participants. Central to this understanding is the principle of CONSENT. 

1. Consent:

We consider this to be really important, and feel it is the first fundamental rule at parties, social, and any other human interactions. Consent should be clear and informed, and the other person should have the capacity to say yes. A person under the influence of drugs or alcohol may not always know what they are saying yes to. We are Ask for Angela friendly, and that means we are also looking for signs of spiked drinks, etc.

2. Respect Boundaries:

If someone says no, please respect this. Consent is fluid and ongoing and can be withdrawn at any point, even during play. People have different boundaries and find different types of acceptable and unacceptable. 

If a couple says they do not play with single men, this is another boundary, and should not be pushed. It is also an enforceable rule in couples' rooms.

3. Safety always: 

We positvely encourage the use of condoms at parties. This is for everyone's safety, especially in group situations. One condom per partner, even if that means using more, as you swap between partners. We always ensure there are condoms in each room, to make this easy for our guests. 

Also under the header of safety is our encouragement to have regular sexual health screening, which can be done as a home testing kit. Personal cleanliness and hygeine should go without saying, but you would be surprised!

4. Conversation:

Communication plays a pivotal role in establishing and maintaining boundaries, and is something we all hold very dearly. Participants should feel empowered to express their limits and preferences freely. Open dialogue not only enhances the experience but also fosters trust among individuals. It is important to listen actively and respect the boundaries set by others without pressure or coercion.

Parties, socials, and any events, are meant to be fun. We aim to provide that fun in a way that everyone feels safe, valued, and included.
