At The Cathedral, we believe in Active, Informed, SOBER, Non-Coerced Consent.
All play that happens within our events must be negotiated. Only Yes means Yes within our group.
Active Consent - This means you are openly discussing what you want with your partner(s).
Informed - You take the time to educate yourself with whatever you are going to explore.
Sober - You negotiate your scene without being under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Non-Coerced - You do not push your kinks upon your partner.
If they do not give you a 100% emphatic YES, consider it a No until another time. Do not push them to do anything they are not ready to do, ever.
Silence does not imply consent! Only an active, verbally spoken YES means yes. Silence needs to always be interpreted as a No.

What is the "Rule of One"?
You may ask someone to do something, one time. (Go on a date, do a scene, tie with rope, etc.)
If they say NO, then do NOT ask them again. It is now up to that person to approach you. This no also includes similar phrases such as, "Maybe later", or "I will think about it".
Understanding boundaries is crucial!

Active vs Passive Cosnsent
We ONLY accept Active Consent within our groups.
Passive consent is doing something prior to asking someone if said action is okay to do. This includes hoping they don’t stop you in the action.
Active Consent is asking “May I” or “Do you want me to..”
