aNML RULES
We ask every guest to review these guidelines before attending. Doing so helps maintain a respectful atmosphere, clear communication, and an environment where every interaction is rooted in consent.
General Conduct
Respect is mandatory:
Consent is non-negotiable.
“No” means no—always.
Do not ask twice. Do not pressure, negotiate, persuade, or attempt to change someone's mind.
All guests are expected to be courteous, self-aware, and respectful throughout the event.
Physical contact of any kind—social, sensual, or sexual—requires clear, enthusiastic consent.
Ask first. Touch second.
Consent is ongoing and may be withdrawn at any time. Previous consent does not imply continued or future consent.
Being inside an aNML event, entering a play area, wearing revealing clothing, being nude, watching others, or wearing a particular wristband never constitutes consent.
***
Respect Our Staff & Event Partners
Event hosts, photographers, security personnel, bartenders, hospitality staff, kink facilitators, vendors, and other service providers are present in professional or designated event roles.
Please treat them respectfully and do not interfere with their responsibilities while they are working.
Consent and personal boundaries apply to our team as well.
***
Wristband Communication System:
To support communication and reduce misunderstandings, aNML Parties uses optional colored wristbands that allow guests to communicate their current comfort level or interests at a glance.
Wristbands are conversation starters—not invitations.
No wristband means “yes.”
Consent must always be communicated directly, remains ongoing, and may be withdrawn at any time.
Wristband Colors
-
🟢 Green — Open to play
-
🟡 Yellow — Proceed slowly; communicate clearly and ask first
-
🟣 Purple — Open to same-sex connections (solo or partnered)
-
⚪ White — Social only; not participating in play
-
🔴 Red — Not open to play at this time
-
⚫ Black — Open to kink exploration or kink-focused interaction
Red may be worn alone or paired with another color.
When red is present, it always means no play at this time, regardless of any other wristband being worn.
Guests may change wristbands at any time throughout the event as their interests or comfort level change.
A wristband may indicate openness to a conversation or type of experience. It never grants permission to touch, join, participate, or initiate sexual contact.
Ignoring or intentionally violating a guest's stated boundaries will be treated as a consent violation.
Always ask. Never assume.
***
Play Etiquette:
If play is already in progress, do not interrupt.
Watching an interaction does not give you permission to join it.
Only join when you have been clearly and directly invited and consent has been established with everyone involved.
Assumptions are not invitations.
Nudity, sexual activity, and play are permitted only within areas designated for those activities at each event and venue.
Social areas are intended primarily for conversation, connection, and consensual social interaction.
When observing activity—particularly
within dungeon, kink, or open-play environments—maintain appropriate distance and do not touch participants, equipment, toys, or personal belongings without permission.
Photography or recording of guests is prohibited except where specifically authorized by aNML Parties and everyone involved has consented.
Disruptive, aggressive, disrespectful, coercive, or intentionally boundary-violating behavior may result in immediate removal from the event and exclusion from future aNML Parties events.
Venue-specific guidelines—including designated play areas, photography rules, dress expectations, and event-specific protocols—will be communicated as necessary.
***
Our goal is simple:
Create an environment where adults can communicate clearly, establish their own boundaries, respect the boundaries of others, and experience the evening at their own pace.
Consent. Communication. Respect.
Every person. Every interaction. Every time.
Dress Code & Personal Belongings
Winter Escape is about confidence, comfort, and personal expression.
There is no required costume and no single “correct” way to dress.
Guests may arrive in stylish casual attire, evening wear, lingerie, fetish wear, leather, lace, clubwear, or something uniquely their own.
For those who want to lean into the Winter Escape aesthetic, think:
Black. Midnight blue. Winter white. Champagne. Gold. Silver. Deep jewel tones.
Velvet, satin, leather, lace, metallic accents, winter textures, and subtle sparkle all fit beautifully.
These are inspiration—not a dress code. Wear what makes you feel attractive, comfortable, confident, and authentically yourself.
Dress Down When You're Ready
There is no designated dress-down time.
Some guests remain fully dressed throughout the evening. Others change into lingerie, fetish attire, or more revealing clothing as they become comfortable. Some arrive already dressed for the experience they want.
You decide when—or if—you change.
Because Winter Escape takes place in December, remember to dress appropriately for your arrival and departure. Layers are encouraged so you can easily transition between outside temperatures and our climate-controlled indoor venue.
OUTSIDE = COVERED
If you leave the building for any reason, you must be appropriately covered.
No nudity or exposed intimate areas are permitted outside the venue.
Please cover up before stepping outside, including when going to your vehicle.
Kink Attire & Equipment:
Guests interested in kink, power exchange, rope, leather, fetish expression, or other consensual exploration are welcome to bring personal attire, toys, and appropriate equipment.
Personal equipment remains the responsibility of its owner and should not be handled or used by others without permission.
All activity must remain consensual and comply with event rules and designated play areas.
Our expanded dungeon will also contain equipment provided by our kink team.
Never assume equipment is available for use. Ask first.
Changing & Personal Belongings:
Changing areas and storage cubbies will be available inside the venue.
Cubbies are approximately 12" × 12", so please plan accordingly.
A small duffel, backpack, or soft-sided bag is recommended if you're bringing a change of clothes, shoes, toiletries, or personal items.
Storage is provided as a convenience and is not secured locker storage.
Guests remain responsible for their own belongings.
aNML Parties is not responsible for lost, stolen, misplaced, damaged, or unattended personal items.
Valuables should remain with you or otherwise be secured appropriately.
Dress for yourself.
Change when you're comfortable.
Express yourself authentically.
And enjoy Winter Escape at your own pace.
Reporting Issues
We can't address a problem if we don't know about it.
If a person, interaction, or situation makes you uncomfortable—or you witness something that concerns you—please speak up.
Notify an aNML host, designated event staff member, or security team member as soon as possible.
All concerns will be handled discreetly, respectfully, and taken seriously.
We would much rather address an issue in the moment than learn about it after the event.
You're not ruining the event—disrespect already did that.
You will never be expected to confront another guest yourself. Bring the concern to us and allow our team to address the situation.
If you're unsure whether something is worth reporting, tell us anyway. We'd rather know and determine that no intervention is necessary than have someone remain uncomfortable because they weren't sure whether to speak up.
Helping us maintain a respectful, consent-driven environment is one of the most valuable contributions any guest can make.
See something. Feel something.
Say something. We'll take it from there.
Alcohol / Substance Policy
Alcohol service is professionally managed and served on-site by our authorized bar vendor.
Outside alcohol is not permitted inside the venue.
Personal coolers, cases, and self-service alcohol stations are not permitted.
Guests may bring reasonable amounts of their preferred non-alcoholic mixers and beverages.
Complimentary water will be available throughout the event.
Drink Responsibly
Guests are expected to know their limits and drink responsibly.
Excessive intoxication, disruptive behavior, aggressive conduct, or impairment that negatively affects other guests may result in service being refused and/or removal from the event without refund.
Alcohol never overrides consent.
A person who is significantly impaired may not be capable of giving meaningful consent.
If someone's ability to communicate clearly or make informed decisions is in question, do not initiate or continue sexual or kink activity with that person.
When in doubt, stop.
Substances
Illegal drugs are prohibited on the premises.
Possession, distribution, or use of illegal substances may result in immediate removal and possible exclusion from future aNML Parties events.
No glass containers are permitted anywhere on the property.
Our goal isn't to police responsible adults. It's to maintain an environment where everyone can enjoy themselves while remaining respectful, aware, and capable of making clear decisions.
Have fun. Know your limits. Look out for one another.
Photos & Phones
Respect for privacy is non-negotiable.
Personal photos are permitted only in designated social areas and only with the clear consent of everyone appearing in the photo.
Appropriate photo areas may include:
• Event backdrops and designated photo areas
• aNML Lounge and social spaces
• Meet & greet areas
• Other areas specifically approved for photography
Before taking a photo, always ask.
If someone declines, respect their decision immediately and without question.
And remember: permission to take a photo is not automatically permission to post or share it.
Ask before sharing images that include other guests.
PLAY, KINK & INTIMATE AREAS
Photography and recording are strictly prohibited in designated play, kink, dungeon, massage, changing, and intimate areas.
This includes:
• Photos
• Video
• Livestreaming
• Audio recording
• Video calls
• Any other form of electronic recording
Phones should remain put away while inside these environments unless being used for a legitimate non-recording purpose.
Consent must be obtained before a photo or recording is created—not afterward.
Any exception involving photography within a normally restricted area requires advance approval from an aNML host and explicit consent from every identifiable person involved.
Official Event Photography:
Designated aNML photo backdrops and photography areas may be available throughout the event.
Participation is always optional.
Professional boudoir photography may also be available through separately scheduled private sessions.
aNML Parties may capture limited promotional photographs in approved social areas for our website, event promotion, and community platforms.
No guest is required to participate in promotional photography.
If you prefer not to be photographed, simply decline or notify an event host or photographer.
Your decision will be respected.
Privacy Expectations:
What happens inside a private lifestyle event deserves discretion outside of it.
Do not photograph, record, identify, tag, post, or share another guest's image or participation without their permission.
Unapproved photography or recording—or knowingly sharing another guest's image without consent—may result in immediate removal and exclusion from future aNML Parties events.
Consent applies to photography and sharing just as it applies to every other interaction.
When in doubt:
Ask first.
Respect the answer.
Protect each other's privacy.
