PROVOCATION

CONSENT AT OUR EVENTS

Introducing the F.R.I.E.S. Consent Model: Empowering Personal Boundaries!

Consent
is at the heart of healthy and respectful Kinky relationships, andwe’re excited to shed light on this approach: the F.R.I.E.S. Consent Model!

F.R.I.E.S. stands for:

Freely Given: Consent should always be voluntary and not coerced. It means each personinvolved is able to make their own choice without pressure or manipulation.

Reversible: Consent is not a one-time deal. It can be withdrawn or changed at any point. Communication is key, and everyone should feel comfortable expressing their boundaries.

Informed:
Consent must be based on a clear understanding of what is being asked or agreed upon. Open and honest communication ensures everyone is on the same page.

Enthusiastic: Genuine enthusiasm and excitement are essential for true consent. It means actively participating and embracing the experience wholeheartedly, on ALL sides of the exchange.

Specific: Consent should be specific to each situation. Being clear about what is and isn’t okay creates a safe space for everyone involved. Why the F.R.I.E.S. Consent Model?

The F.R.I.E.S. model provides a comprehensive framework for cultivatingconsent culture, emphasising mutual respect and understanding. By promoting these principles, we can foster healthier relationships and create a safer, more inclusive environment for all.

Let’s make consent a priority and embrace the F.R.I.E.S. model to promote positive interactions, both at parties and in the greater world. Together, we can build a community where consent is understood, valued, and practiced by all.

INFORMATION

We want all involved with Provocation to feel comfortable, expressing themselves through kink at all of our events Please read this piece carefully and if you find yourself completely agreeing that all of this makes a lot of sense, then please, come join the party

Respect the autonomy of the individual:every person has the right to make decisions about their own body, property, and personal space. What you see as a gift might be a curse if it is unwelcome (or unwanted), so when giving a gift, entering someone’s personal space, or using someone’s property, ask permission first. Only proceed if there is consent between all parties.

Do not ever assume that you have consent based upon what a person is wearing or how they are acting.Consent must be mutual, verbal, definite, and given consciously, and persons are free to change their mind at anytime.

Remember that consent for one act does not imply consent for all acts, and consent given once does not mean that you have consent every time.

No always means no

Our door and security crew have been fully briefed to be on the lookout for any sleazy, homophobic, transphobic, kinkphobic, antisocial, or predatory behaviour, which will get you instantly turfed from the event.

We are a GENDER inclusive, pansexual event and require all our patrons to accept and respect this.Someone’s kink may not be your kink, but you must respect their right to it.If you are unsure how to address someone, please ask politely how they would prefer to be addressed. It’s a quick question and offends no-one, and shows you are interested and open minded.

DO NOT TOUCH or grope people unless you have been expressly given their ok to do so.If you’re unsure, simply check – a quick “Would you mind if I…?” is required and you’d be amazed at how empowering it is too.

The absence of NO is not a YES! Remember, consent is VERBALLY EXPRESSED not IMPLIED.PROVOCATION ASSUMES NO CONSENT HAS BEEN GIVEN IN ALL REPORTED INCIDENTS. This is not negotiable.

If you see something amiss or feel uncomfortable or have any concern at all, please approach a ‘PROVOCATION Team or crew member or our event Security Guards as your first point of call, if you cannot identify them in the venue please go directly to the front door box office and inform the security guard that is always there.Where necessary the situation can then be escalated to security intervention if needed.This helps us help you have a better experience and helps the security team know when an intervention is urgently required.

DRESS CODE

WHAT DO I WEAR?

PROVOCATION will be operating on a strict door policy. This is to protect YOU from ‘tourists’ who happen upon the event and could cause problems. Entry is at the sole discretion of PROVOCATION door staff and Security Guard who have complete control over admittance.PROVOCATION recommend dressing to impress for a trouble-free entry.Don’t hold back in expressing yourself or your kinks, the environment we are trying to create is one where you can be yourself, the true you that might stay hidden in everyday life… So bring out all that gear you thought was a little ‘too much’ for public viewing, there’s no judgement here and a lot of people are probably going to really love it.The all black clothing minimum is a
concession to those who are new to these kinds of events and don’t yet have a kink wardrobe or those who are not comfortable in the more ‘traditional’ fetish wear of leather, latex and PVC etc.

PROVOCATION is all about INCLUSION as well as play and fun. We do however require that you make a concentrated effort to dress appropriately to the theme of the night. This means no blue or black jeans, sneakers, work-wear, day-wear or ‘standard’ club wear. If in doubt, dress up. Suits or waistcoats for male identifying patrons and black dresses for female identifying patrons are a safe choice, we also accept alternative/goth club wear.
