RULES & ETIQUETTE

A common misconception about swinging is that you arrive, drop your clothes at the door and ‘have at it’, gangbang or orgy style. That’s not how we do them at all. 

Our parties are known to be friendly, classy and well respected within the Tasmanian swinging community. 

We hold our parties and events just like any regular house party, where you arrive, meet people, have a chat and a drink, before moving into other activities should you wish to. 

It can be daunting to attend a swingers party for the first time, our goal is to make it as relaxed as possible in a positive environment. To help ease the nerves our parties usually have a theme, where everyone can dress up (or down) with like minded people. 

We allow for couples, selected single ladies and selected single guys. We are also inclusive of LGBTQIA. We MUST meet everyone who wishes to attend one of our parties. If we do meet prior to attending a party, it is not an automatic invitation..

There are several rules that guests need to abide by and general etiquette for attending a swinger’s party.

RULES:

• Must be 25 years old and over. ID may be requested 
• BYO alcohol only
• No drugs 
• Smoking is permitted strictly outside of the venue 
• NO MEANS NO at all times. Anything that isn’t an obvious ‘yes’ means no. 
• No arguing, fighting or threatening behaviour
• Guests must be respectful towards each other at all times
• Respect the neighbours. On arrival/departure, or while outside the venue, please keep noise levels down.
• When you’re arriving to and leaving the event, please make sure you are adequately covered/dressed to not cause offence to the general public.
• No cameras or phones 
• Do not touch other people’s belongings.
• Communication is key. Whether it’s with other party goers, with your partner or the organisers. Make sure you clearly communicate with your partner about your expectations and boundaries prior to attending an event, and to be respectful of each other and agree to the pace of the hesitant partner. 
• If you arrive as a couple, and one person leaves, the other must do as well. 
• PRIVACY - This is so important. We do not share other guests personal details with others outside of the swinging scene without permission.
• Don’t have high expectations - you may be left disappointed, no one has to play with you, and you don’t have to play with them.
• Events are strictly invite only. To be invited to one of our events, new members must meet with the organisers prior to an invite.
