FAQ

When participating in kink, including rope, explicit consent must be acquired BEFORE participating in the activity.
Do not touch anyone without their permission, and do not make assumptions. If you receive a "Yes!" then you have consent.  Anything other than a "Yes!" means NO.

Tethered Men uses plain language communication at the events. This means words such as "no", "stop", "don't", etc mean what they mean, and are taken seriously. Event safewords use the traffic light system: "Yellow" for slow down or pause, "Red" for stopping the scene entirely. If these words are called, we will respond immediately to the situation. Continuing to play without discussion after these words are used will result in immediate ejection from the event, and you will not be welcome back to another event. 

If you experience any form of consent violation at Tethered Men, find an organizer or facilitator.

We work to create a fun and safe(r) space to explore rope, but like in any other kink we make no guarantees that rope is safe.
Rope play, in general, is considered "edge play," which means you have the potential to be hurt.

Tethered Men believes in personal responsibility informed kink practices, and we encourage you to do some research on your own! Here's a helpful resource to start this journey.

Much of beginner rope is generally lower risk, and can be done safely and sexily. 

A rope jam is a space to tie with other similarly-skilled people and learn collaboratively. Light scening is encouraged and welcome. 

Play and headspace are encouraged, however- please refrain from explicit sexual activites. 

No. Please keep bottom bits covered.
