Consent & Safety
At Kinki Vibes, we believe that consent and safety are the foundational principles that ensure everyone has a positive, respectful, and empowering experience within our community. Whether you are attending an event, engaging in discussions, or exploring new aspects of your identity, maintaining clear, informed, and enthusiastic consent is essential.
Our Core Principles
- Freely Given: Consent must be given voluntarily, without any form of manipulation or pressure. It is a mutual agreement where all parties feel comfortable saying "yes" or "no" at any time.
- Reversible: Consent is not permanent. At any point, a person can change their mind, and their decision must be respected. If someone says "no" or withdraws consent, it must be honored immediately.
- Informed: Consent can only be given when all involved parties have a clear understanding of what is happening. Everyone should be informed about the activity and what it entails, and they must be able to make an educated decision.
- Enthusiastic: Consent is not passive. It must be given enthusiastically, with a clear and positive "yes." Anything less than a clear and excited agreement is not consent.
- Specific: Consent applies to specific activities. Just because consent is given for one activity doesn’t mean it automatically applies to others. It is crucial to communicate clearly about what is acceptable and what isn’t.
Safety Standards
Ensuring the physical, emotional, and psychological safety of our members is a top priority. Our community is dedicated to providing a safe space where everyone feels respected, valued, and empowered to explore their identity and desires freely. Here are our core safety guidelines:
- Clear Communication: Always communicate openly and honestly. This includes discussing boundaries, limits, and desires, as well as ongoing check-ins to ensure comfort and safety.
- Respect for Boundaries: Always respect the boundaries and limits set by others. If someone says “no” or sets a limit, it is crucial to stop and reassess. Consent is about mutual respect.
- Safe Words and Signals: In activities that require trust and vulnerability, especially in BDSM, we encourage the use of safe words or signals. These allow participants to communicate their comfort levels and stop any activity if necessary.
- Aftercare: After engaging in any intense physical or emotional activities, it’s essential to engage in aftercare. This is a process of providing care and comfort to ensure that everyone feels safe and supported.
- Zero Tolerance for Abuse: We have a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of abuse, harassment, or coercion. Any member who violates these principles will be immediately removed from the platform and banned from future participation.
