ARRIVAL
Doors lock at 9:00P for the comfort and safety of our community. Please arrive early to ensure you will be admitted. Late and unapproved guests will be turned away at the door.
No shoes allowed in the loft. We recommend bringing a pair of grip socks or slippers. If you require an accessibility exemption, please email friends@fwb.events.
We provide a coat check and space for you to store your belongings. Feel free to bring a coat, a change of clothes, and/or a toy bag.
If it's your first event, please arrive early. We’ll give you a tour of the space, review the ground rules, answer any questions, and introduce you to other friends.
ACCESSIBILITY
This is a low-scent event: no perfume, cologne, or essential oils.
If you have a latex allergy, please let us know ahead of time so we can ensure to remove any latex products in the play space and ask our participants to leave their latex products at home.
PHONE POLICY
We have a strict no phone policy for the privacy and presence of all our guests. Please ensure your phone is off or set to do not disturb. When you arrive, you must check in your phone(s) with one of our hosts. We discourage checking phones during social time, but if you must check your phone before doors lock, you may check it at the front desk and promptly return it to our staff.
Once doors have locked, there are no phones allowed. If you need to check your phone, you will be asked to leave the event.
FOOD & BEVY
We provide non-alcoholic drinks and a variety of snacks. (As a queer-owned and run space, you know we take our snacks VERY seriously).
While we do allow BYOB alcohol at this event, we lean sober as a community. If you do BYOB, please consume responsibly (think: 1 drink). If you don't wish to share your alcohol (or any other food or drinks you bring) with the community, please label them with your name so folks know it is not for them to consume without an invitation.
We are a cannabis friendly space and have a balcony for folks to consume, but same rules apply: please be mindful of your consumption. It's easy to over-consume when you're nervous, so err on the side of caution!
If you arrive visibly intoxicated, or become overly intoxicated throughout the event, you may be asked to leave for the safety of yourself and our community.
There's no food or bevy in the play area except water.
PLAY TIME
fwb is a sex-possible space. Once the option for play begins, (our host(s) will make that clear), and if you feel inspired, you can make your way to the play area. Barriers, lube, wipes, and other play goodies are there for your use. Please be sure to throw your trash, including condoms and wrappers, in the black bins provided. When playing on any surfaces in the play area other than the beds or tantra bench, we ask that you put down a splash pad (which we provide) for any fluids to help us keep our soft surfaces clean.
ACTIVE CONSENT
We practice active consent at fwb, which means affirmative, honest, conscious, voluntary, sober and ongoing agreement to participate in play.
In practice, it means:
Clearly communicate your boundaries, wants and needs.
Always ask for consent before touching anyone or doing anything. That can look like, "I would love to give you a massage. Are you open to that?" and "Is it ok if I touch your hair?" and "Are there any places you don't like being touched?" etc
Disclose your STI status and discuss risk tolerance with partners. (more on how to have safer sex conversations below!)
Always verbalize your consent (a clear "yes" or "no").
If you’re unsure where someone stands, ask them. Check-ins are welcomed and encouraged!
Accept rejection with grace and empathy. Rejection is a part of life and it can be very hard to say "no" - be kind to yourself and others when it happens.
If someone gives you a "no," do not approach them again or pressure them in any way.
In exploring new things, we may not always know how we feel until we try it. It's always ok to change your mind, ask for a break, or stop at any point.
Don’t leave marks unless you ask for permission beforehand.
We’re a kink friendly space, but not kink focused. Sensory play and light kink is allowed and encouraged, but edge play (heavy impact play, piss, blood, scat, fire, flame, sploshing, weapons, etc) is not allowed. If you're unsure, please check-in with our host.
House safe word is "Red." If someone says this, all play with them must stop immediately.
Be respectful of personal space.
All kinds of sex are welcome. It's totally ok to be in the play space and just watch (hey, exhibitionists want and need an audience!).
We have a variety of sensory toys (paint brushes, bear claws, bamboo scrubbers, floggers, etc) for you to explore. And of course, you're allowed to bring your own!
If you need to report a problem, seek help, or ask a question, please find one of our hosts.
COMMUNITY HEALTH & SAFETY
Covid, cold, and flu:
We require all attendees to test for COVID before you arrive. No need to send results - we trust you. If you are feeling sick, were recently exposed to someone who is sick, or test positive, we ask that you stay home to help us keep our community safe and healthy. We will credit you for a future event.
We provide face masks and hand sanitizer at the clubhouse. We run air purifiers during and between events.
While we take all the precautions we can to be covid safe, this is ultimately an intimate event with risk of infection. If you are at higher risk of infection or adverse effects for covid or other illnesses, we encourage you to err on the side of caution.
STIs:
We advocate for safer sex practices at fwb. We aim to foster a culture where people openly discuss sexual health and practice informed consent. Do not refer to negative STI results as “clean.” Don’t make jokes about STIs or people with them. Decide your risk tolerance when engaging in play and communicate your STI status and safer sex preferences with any potential partners. If someone discloses a positive STI result, do not shame or disparage them.
We offer barriers of all kinds (dental dams, condoms, finger condoms, gloves) if your preference is to avoid any fluid exchange.
We provide black wristbands to people who have shared negative STI results for HIV 1 & 2, , chlamydia, and gonorrhea from the past 30 days. You can email, text, telegram, or share your results in person with staff at the event to receive your wristband.
REFUND & CANCELLATION POLICY
We do not offer refunds. If you need to cancel or change your reservation, please let us know 48 hours prior to an event, and we will credit you for a future event.
If you are sick, were recently exposed to someone who has covid, or tested positive, and let us know ~2 hours prior to an event start, we will credit you for a future event.
We offer refunds if we cancel an event for any reason. We'll send out a cancellation email. Attendees who wish to receive a refund for their ticket purchase will need to respond within 7 days of the cancelled event. All other tickets will receive a credit for a future event.
Because we keep our events intentionally small and curate our guest list for a healthy balance of genders, sexualities, and interests, repeat no calls/no shows by friends with an active fwb membership may have their membership revoked.
