General Questions
  • Will I have to play the first night I come?
    • No, not if you don't want to.  We have a social common area that everyone is free to sit and relax, introduce yourself to members and ask them questions if you want.  As well, you can be an observer to most of the play that goes on, but please respect that there will be scenes going on and don't interrupt or talk too loudly to distract others.
  • I am curious about kinky things, where do I begin?
    • Come out to an orientation session, the first Saturday of every month.  You will meet other new people, get introduced to some of the members, as well as receive alot of information on where to start, what some of the things we do are, as well as be able to ask questions.  It's a great starting point, and you won't be alone.
  • How do I know I will like something that I have seen or heard about?
    • The only way you will know is if you try it out.  And try it a second time to be sure whether you like it or not.  And please do it safely which means that you do a bit of research on whatever kink it is that you are interested in.  We have numerous members who will gladly provide you with information, support and perhaps even hands on (gently at first) experience if you ask.
  • What do I wear?
    • This is one of the most frequently asked questions.  You can wear street clothes, or your fetish gear, or whatever you feel comfortable wearing.  Fetish gear can include leather, PVC, rubber, etc.  We ask that if you want to wear a hood to cover your face, please not have it on when entering the premises.  We don't want to scare the neighbours.  Check in with the DM for the evening prior to putting it on, so he or she will know who you are
  • I'm nervous that someone I know will see me there.  What do I do?
    • Do what you would normally do when you see someone you know.  Say "Hi, fancy meeting you here".  Seriously, we all have that fear of meeting someone we know, work with, a family member show up at these types of events.  Relax.  They are there for the same reasons you are and are probably just as surprised (or horrified) to see you.  Take a deep breath, and smile.  They won't say anything if you won't say anything once you all leave simply because they would be 'outing' themselves.  How else do you think they got here??
