RUSTIC RANCH NIGHTS – CODE OF RESPECT

---

• This space thrives on trust, communication, and mutual respect. 

• Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, you’re responsible for upholding the culture that makes Rustic Ranch possible. 

• These aren’t just rules, they’re the foundation of the freedom we all come here for!

• Clear, enthusiastic, and ongoing consent is the only kind of consent that counts.
   
• No means no. Maybe means no. Silence means no. Only an active yes means yes.
   
• If you’re not sure, don’t touch.

• Don’t assume anyone’s gender, orientation, preferences, boundaries, or role.
   
• Don’t assume couples are “open” or that someone is “available.”
   
• Curiosity is welcome. Entitlement is not.

• No phones or recording devices in shared spaces. Ever.
   
• Don’t share anyone’s name, story, or experience without their explicit permission.
   
• What happens here stays here.

• If someone expresses discomfort or sets a boundary, honor it immediately and without pushback.
   
• If you see something off, say something to a host. We will intervene.
   
• Being under the influence is no excuse for violating the code.

• Treat the Ranch like it belongs to all of us, because it does.
   
• Clean up after yourself. Respect the land and the structures.
   
• If something breaks or spills, tell a host. No shame, just communication.

• If a host or Ranch Hand asks you to pause or leave, that decision is final.
   
• We don’t tolerate repeated boundary-pushing, harassment, or aggressive behavior (physical or verbal).
   
• This space is a privilege, not a right.

• There’s no dress code except authenticity and comfort.
   
• Wear what makes you feel good. Undress if that feels right. Be who you are, without forcing that on anyone else.

• Before joining a conversation, sitting near someone, touching someone, or entering a play space, be sure to ask.
   
• A question never ruins the mood. It builds the mood.

• Alcohol is permitted, but intoxication is not a vibe.
   
• If you're visibly altered or losing awareness of others’ boundaries, a host may pull you aside or send you home.
   
• Hydrate. Eat. Take breaks. Take care of yourself.

• You’re not just a guest; you’re part of the energy.
   
• Be generous. Be gracious. Be into connection, not just consumption.

We’re here to protect the space and the people in it. That includes you.
