Naughty Playroom Etiquette
Naughty Playroom Etiquette
We always post play floor rules and etiquette, to make sure everyone is on the same page and to help set a standard of expectations. This year, there is more to think about, so we decided to put them all here in a blog dedicated to the playrooms.
Goal: Our playrooms are a natural extension of our classes, seminars, and workshops. We provide a safe space to learn about sexuality, how to safely expand your fantasies with your partner. After attending one (or many) of our classes, you will have a safe space to try out what you learned in a beautiful private space with an amazing staff to help ensure your health and safety.
Plan: We take an area of the hotel that will be set aside, with restricted access with private and semi-private spaces where you can play with your partner or choose to play with others if that is your intention. Our space has nine large rooms, each with a different theme (see below), where you can practice what you have learned and be creative.
Staff: Our staff will be on hand to assure everyone is following the rules and guidelines and that the place is clean, sanitized, and safe. Our staff will be wearing masks and purple T-Shirts with Naughty N’awlins Staff printed on the front and a consent reminder on the back.
Rules & Guidelines:
No Street clothes: You can wear lingerie, underwear, robes, a towel, or anything else that is sexy, but not any street clothes, jeans, or anything else you could wear out on the street.
If you only have street clothes with you, we will have bags available on M2 that you can put your clothes into. We will give you a towel to use and you can explore the floor in your underwear, just make sure you put your name on the bag, in case you lose it so we can help you find it.
Couples In & Couples Out: We are first and foremost a couples-only event, so we need couples to stay together. We always have issues with one partner of the couple heading upstairs and leaving their partner behind. Then we have a single person floating around by themselves and if we find this, we will ask the single person to leave the floor and they can only come back when they come back with their partner.
Consent: Consent is mandatory and we mean verbal consent. Back in the day, it was acceptable to “reach out and touch someone” without asking permission, those days are over. If you want to play with someone, ask them. If you are not interested in someone, let them know with a simple “No, thank you” and that is it.
No means no. Do not ask again and again. Respect other people’s decisions and choices and do not keep asking them. If you are harassing anyone, we will ask you to leave.
If someone is intoxicated, they cannot consent. Please look out for other people in our community and let someone on our staff know if someone seems intoxicated and needs to go to their room.
Vaccinated People Only: After talking to the Louisiana Department of Health, we have decided to make our playrooms a “Vaccinated Only” area. We could have closed the playrooms altogether, but we all agreed that this was the best choice for us at this point.
Of course, we know that parties will be popping up in rooms all over the hotel. We encourage each of you to know your own individual risk, you need to manage your own risk and you need to own your own risk.
Be considerate of other people’s space & privacy: Try not to get into other people’s spaces. Most of our beds will have pipes and drapes all the way around the beds. Three sides will always be draped closed and the front will be pulled open, but you can close the curtains to make your space completely private.
If curtains are closed, do not open them or peek in. Respect people’s privacy and look for another bed or another couple.
If the couple has closed the sheers, but not the curtains, you can look through the sheer curtains, but please do not move them aside, peek in or enter their private space. Some people like to watch or be watched and we encourage this, as long as respect and consent are always maintained.
No Glass or food: We will bring out a round of pizzas at midnight for anyone who wants some, but please do not bring any additional drinks or food onto the play floor. There will be water stations and plastic cups available for anyone that is thirsty.
If you come to the floor with a drink in a glass, our staff will ask you to finish it or pour it into a plastic cup in order to enter. Be careful where you put your plastic cup (no matter what is inside it) so it doesn’t spill or get kicked over.
Use condoms: We encourage the use of condoms with any unknown partners. Safe sex is the best sex.
