The code of conduct · Black Planet Berlin

01

The baseline

No classism, no racism, no sexism, no misogyny, no transmisogyny, no transphobia, no queerphobia, no ageism, no kink shaming of any kind or any other nasty behavior. No buts and ifs.
We organize this night from a working class, queer feminist standpoint, to the best of our ability. An injury to one is an injury to all.
Do not assume anyone’s pronouns, gender identity or sexuality.
You must be at least 18 to attend.
Once you are inside, nudity is fine.

02

Bring ID. We check at the door.
No streetwear, no formal clothes.
What works: alternative fashion OR leather, PVC, latex and the likes OR goth OR rivethead OR military aesthetics.
Why: effort at the door means effort inside. Thrift it, borrow it, make it. Nobody cares what it cost.
The door picker might ask you questions to make sure you contribute to the night.
Denied at the door: full refund.

03

Ask before you touch anyone. A hug, someone’s hair, someone’s gear.
A yes is a yes.
Negotiate and communicate comprehensively before you start playing.
You can take your consent back at any moment, mid scene included.
Respect people’s Nos and move on! Do not attempt to approach a person again after they have rejected you once.
Do not pressure anyone. Take the no and walk on.
Reject people respectfully. Keep your genital preferences and other preferences to yourself and don’t voice them at the night. You can reject people without saying triggering statements. Don’t be rude when rejecting people.
The night’s safe word is “Red”. If “Red” is called and the scene is not stopped, everyone has a responsibility to intervene. The awareness team has the right to stop a scene at any point, if they find it necessary.

04

Do not interrupt play. Do not disturb sessions. Do not talk to people involved in a session.
Do not comment on a play or session, even with compliments or laughter.
Don’t get too close to other people’s play. Don’t talk loud close to where people are playing. Give people some space.
Do not masturbate while watching without prior agreement.
Do not sit on the play furniture if you are not using it.
If you don’t feel like playing, or if you come alone and don’t vibe with anyone, you can just socialize or watch. There is no pressure on anyone to do anything.
If you see someone playing who is part of the Black Planet crew, they are off duty. Do not approach them with questions or feedback.
Clean up after your scene. Wipe down what you used, take your gear and your tissues. Barriers on anything shared.
We offer some condoms, water-based lubes, gloves and other play party supplies. Bring your own favorite lube if you have any, no amount of lube is ever enough!!
If you are playing with blood: put something over open wounds after the scene. Keep blood play away from the bar area. Needles, scalpels and staples must be put into sharps containers after use.
Wet play, scat and roman/vomit are not permitted due to practical reasons.

05

No chemsex.
If you are extremely intoxicated or if you show any non-consensual and unaccepted behavior, you will be thrown out.

06

No pictures or videos at the night. Lenses get taped at the door, phones stay off the floor. We don’t film our dancefloor either. The night exists once.
You can only use your phone discreetly, away from the places play is happening.
There will be a photographer from the party crew in a designated place, taking pics of people who want their photos taken.

07

After the night: please be discreet about what went on. Don’t mention names or personal descriptors of people if not approved in advance. What happens at Climax stays at Climax.

08

There is an awareness team present all night in distinguished uniforms so you can find them easily. Don’t feel shy to reach out to them about anything bothering you or if you need help with anything.
They can stop any scene. They can send anyone home.

09

If you break these rules you will be thrown out and you will not get a refund.
If you break someone’s consent you will be banned from all our parties in all cities.
Tell the awareness team about anything that bothers you during the night, no matter how small it feels.
You can also write to us at info@blackplanet.se after the night.
