Knotty NY Code of Conduct

Always ask to join play before touching anyone, interrupting, or intruding on others’ scenes.

Accept & give refusals with grace. “No, thank you” is not an invitation to keep asking. Ask with the expectation that no is an acceptable answer.

Consent can be revoked at any time. If it stops being fun, don’t push it.

Respect the limits of partners. Even when discussed beforehand, new limits are often discovered during play.

Even if you think someone else is into being touched by you, if they ask you to stop, respect it.

No one can give consent for another person without prior negotiation. Subs do not automatically defer their consent to their Dom during play.

Always discuss medical considerations, and have ready access to safety shears in the event quick release is necessary.

Clearly communicate your level of experience, ability, and any risks that come with play that you engage in. This applies to all parties.

All attendees must remain sober throughout the event. This includes both alcohol and drugs.

Ask for consent before taking pictures, and be mindful to keep only consenting parties in frame.

We require that underwear stays on and no play involved penetration.

We rely on our community to keep each other safe. If you encounter any issues, let an instructor or a Knotty Daddy know so we may address the issue.

Violations of the Code of Conduct may result in responses up to and including blacklisting from Knotty NY.
