What you should know
Never been to a kinky club? Then a little preparation is worth it. Many venues have nights only for specific audiences – men*-only, FLINTA*, TIN* or couples – and a fixed dress code. Both are stated in the respective event description.
Read the code of conduct in advance and take a look at awareness at events – consent, clear agreements and safer spaces come first at every good party.
Important: details, rules and entry requirements are always in the respective event description, because only the organisers' conditions apply.
If you feel like a complete beginner, the article An Introduction to the World of Kink offers a relaxed way in.
