โโThe building is ADA accessible.
โโโโThere is an elevator. Note for people with wheelchairs, canes, other walking assistance devices: the tile of the lobby floor is uneven so be careful navigating, and the bathroom is not ADA compliant.
โโโโโโโThis is a low-scent event: no perfume, cologne, or essential oils.
โโโโโโโIf 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.
โ
โโโโโโโโโโโโWe 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.
โโโโโโโOnce doors have locked, there are no phones allowed. If you need to check your phone, you will be asked to leave the event.
โ
โโโโโโโWe provide tea, non-alcoholic drinks and a variety of snacks. (As a queer-owned and run space, you know we take our snacks VERY seriously).
โโโโIf 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.
โโโโThere's no food or bevy in the play area except water.
โ
โCovid, cold, and flu:โโโโโโ
โWe 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.
โWe provide face masks and hand sanitizer at the clubhouse. We run air purifiers during and between events.
โWhile 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.
โSTIs:
โโโโโโWe 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 โclean.โ Donโt 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.
โโโโWe offer barriers of all kinds (dental dams, condoms, finger condoms, gloves) if your preference is to avoid any fluid exchange.
โโโโโโโWe 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.
โ
โWe 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.
โIf 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.
โWe 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.
โBecause 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.
