Welcome to Houston PEP

Three to four "play parties" are held every year. We break out our best fetish wear and toys and have fun! Bring your partner and play all night, show off your most daring and outrageous outfit, or just watch what happens.

While other events are open to the public, parties are open only to HPEP members, members in good standing of other BDSM / Fetish clubs, and invited guests. We never post the location of our parties on the web. This is to help ensure that only BDSM / Fetish community members will be in attendance. To find out the location of an HPEP party and get your tickets, come to our meetings.

Dungeon etiquette is the term generally used to define acceptable behavior at any S&M or "dungeon" party. It also is a good guideline for any S&M "play party." While RULES are not what we are about common sense dictates a need for standards of behavior at S&M and sexually oriented events. The purpose of this Dungeon Etiquette is to prove an understanding of acceptable behavior: and to allow everyone as much fun as possible while remaining in a Safe Sane and Consensual environment.

· DO NOT touch players or attempt to participate in someone's scene without their permission. This should be obtained prior to the start of the scene.

· DO NOT play in the same space being used by others. This is a distraction or may interfere with their concentration.

· NO, means no. If you approach someone and get a negative response, take it seriously. Only the highest level of social interaction will be allowed. Dungeon Parties are NOT part of the singles or swingers scene.

· Play at YOUR level of experience. Playing at you level will earn more respect if done well, than if you play way above your ability and your scene is a fiasco.

· DUNGEON MASTERS - They are the law. DM's are identifiable by orange vests or some other identifiable markings.

· One or more Dungeon Masters (DM's) are always present. They are there to assure safety of ALL. Follow their directions WITHOUT question or argument. Do it NOW - Discuss it later.

· Only DM's are permitted to interfere with an ongoing scene and that will be only for safety reasons. If a scene is too severe for you please leave the area or if you feel it is unsafe, notify a DM.

· Notify a DM before you play if your scene is different, unusual, might unduly alarm someone or if you need some special assistance with a scene.

· Do NOT crowd a scene. That means leave sufficient space for the players to use their equipment.

· Do be respectful. Comments about the scene, the play, gossip, or other noise can be a distraction to the participants and may end a scene prematurely.

· NO PHOTOGRAPHY WITHOUT PERMISSION. This includes EVERYONE in the view of the cameras, i.e., spectators and other players visible in the lens. On occasion a professional photographer will be in attendance. He will take pictures only after receiving permission from those in the sight of the lens. If you take unauthorized pictures you will be asked to surrender the film immediately!

· NO ALCOHOL or DRUGS . Anyone deemed under the influence maybe denied admission or be asked to leave. You may be restricted from playing if you actions or demeanor indicate that you would be an unsafe player. This may be determined by a DM after consultation with the head DM..

· No exchange of bodily fluids,oral/genital or anal contact, genital/genital or anal contact, scat or water sports is allowed.

· If your scene involves drawing of blood, please discuss safety and other issues including cleanup with the head DM prior to play. Special precautions MUST be taken for such items (but not limited to) needles, syringes or knives.

· Clean up after your scene. Immediately alert a DM if you can not do this or can not do it effectively.

· Smoking is not permitted inside the building. Please go outside, or to designates smoking areas, if you must smoke.

· Occasionally there are complaints about unsolicited approaches to play. (Especially men approaching women.) This behavior is unacceptable. You should make arrangements to play prior to the party. If you want to play bring your own partner.

· If your clothing (or lack of ) is revealing you should bring proper garments until you are inside the party area. We may like to see you naked but the neighbors may not.

· Occasionally a scene may be too strong for you. If that happens please go to another area. There are all levels of play and we do not want to offend anyone but the other players have their rights too.

· Scenes are not always as they appear. Something what appears dangerous to you may NOT be for those involved. If something disturbs you, ask a more experienced player or an off-duty DM for an explanation.
