House of Scorpio > Code of Conduct
Like the PAL system, the Kinky Salon Charter, reproduced below in its entirety, has been adopted by House of Scorpio for ALL our events. We believe this set of rules to be the gold standard for playing well with others -- read it often, and abide it always.
The Kinky Salon Charter below states our intention and our standards. It was created by the community to make it super-easy for newbies to understand how to behave at our events. Follow these simple do's and don'ts, and you'll fit right in:
| DO | DON'T |
|---|---|
|
|
The Long Version: Do!
Be creative about how you dress. It's not about having the most fabulous, over-the-top costume. Just express yourself in whatever form is right for you. If that means dressing down, that's ok too, but please NEVER wears jeans, khaki or sportswear to Kinky Salon.
Contribute when and where you can. The Kinky Salon community is created through the efforts of everyone involved. If you want to volunteer at an event, perform or have another creative offering, just email and let us know. We would love to hear from you.
State your boundaries. If someone makes you uncomfortable, for ANY reason, then you should let them know. That includes touching without asking, saying something that offends you, or even just looking at you in a way you don't like. Be nice, be graceful, but be firm.
Play safely and consensually. Be clear about what your safe sex practices are, and never stick your finger up someone's butt without asking first.
Respect our space and each other. Being respectful towards each other and our environment means that we can build an atmosphere of trust. So all you fuckers need to R.E.S.P.E.C.T - dig?
Clean up after yourself. Like, really people.
The Long Version: Don't!
Linger unaccompanied in play spaces. Please, please, please, don't hang out on your own watching people! It makes them feel uncomfortable and it makes you look like a Wanky McJerkoff!
Cruise aggressively (even if they are really cute). Learn to know the difference between 'playing hard to get' and 'get the fuck outta my face'. If you are given a hint, take it. There is nothing more unattractive than desperation.
Get too intoxicated. Having a couple of drinks is fine, we are all grown-ups here. But if you get shit-faced we will notice, and we will kick you out.
Take photographs. We usually have a professional photographer here to capture your fabulous outfit, so keep your cameras and your cellphones stashed for the duration.
Gossip about what goes on here. NEVER mention names or specific activities on any public blogs or message boards. What happens at Kinky Salon stays at Kinky Salon.
