Bay Area Ticklephiles Munch - Code of Conduct

Attendees at a Bay Area Ticklephiles in-person munch must agree to act in accordance with the following:
* Make sure you have freely given consent before you touch anyone, and ask before touching/handling someone else's belongings.
* Share info about yourself before asking others to do so, and focus on event-relevant info at first rather than personal details like where someone lives.
* Be open about what you like and don't like to do, and share your experiences and thoughts as much as you are comfortable doing so, without judging or shaming anyone.
* Enjoy meeting people without the pressure of needing to find a play or romantic partner.
* Make sure that everyone is treated with respect!
* Don't take photos or record anyone during the munch!

Thanks so much, RoosterT, for sharing this upcoming event! I live in the Monterey Bay area, but am considering checking this out. Much appreciated. Will most definitely follow the code of conduct as you’ve shared above. Many thanks again! Great to see that there is such an interest in tickling in the Bay Area! Have a great day! TLM
