How lifestyle clubs work

• On-premise clubs have play areas on site. Off-premise events are social only.
• Many are couple-first, with limits on single men, and some nights are single-women or couples only.
• Many are BYOB and do not sell alcohol.
• Some need a membership, vetting or a signed agreement before you can enter.
• Admission is often a "donation" or a fee that differs by guest type.

Etiquette that matters most

• No means no, with no follow-up. Politely accept it and move on.
• Ask before you touch, and ask again if the situation changes.
• Talk before you go in. Couples should agree their limits and a signal to leave.
• Social first. Spend time in the lounge. Nobody has to play.
• No photos or video. Privacy is the foundation of these clubs.
• Stay clean and sober enough to consent, and respect the club's rules on safer sex.
