1.
FSL is 18+
You must be aged 18 or over. If in doubt, we may ask you to show valid ID.
HOUSE RULES
Fetish Social Limburg is all about meeting people, connecting and community. Getting to know new people, seeing familiar faces and enjoying an afternoon together. Feel free to show your fetish, but there’s no pressure.
FSL takes place at Café Rosé. The house rules of Café Rosé therefore apply alongside these guidelines.
2.
Our focus is on men; our approach is inclusive
FSL mainly focuses on queer, gay and bi men. Trans men and non-binary people are, of course, welcome. Don’t quite fit those descriptions but feel at home in our community? You’re welcome too.
3.
Give each other space
Treat each other with respect and let others be themselves. Discrimination, intimidation, aggression, bullying or other behaviour that crosses boundaries has no place at FSL.
4.
We build our community together
Age, appearance, body type, experience, popularity or what someone wears does not determine how much they belong. Some come in full gear; others keep it simple or casual. You don’t have to click with everyone, but treat each other as equals. Deliberately excluding or ridiculing someone, or making them feel they don’t belong, has no place in the community we want to be.
5.
Check each other’s boundaries
A connection or shared fetish does not automatically mean consent. Want to touch someone or get closer to their personal boundaries? Check that it’s mutual. Unsure? Just ask.
6.
Social really does mean social
FSL is not a sex, cruising or play event. Sexual activity, cruising and play are not allowed anywhere in the venue, including the toilets and smoking area. Play accessories may be part of your gear, but must not be used for play.
7.
Gear is welcome, but optional
Leather, rubber, pup, sportswear, workwear, uniforms, sneakers and other fetish looks are welcome. You’re welcome without gear too. Jockstraps are allowed during FSL as long as genitals remain fully covered. Nudity is not allowed.
8.
Hoods and masks are welcome
Pup hoods, masks and other face coverings are welcome. However, we or the bar staff may ask you to remove them briefly, for example if an age check is needed.
9.
Keep yourself, your gear and the venue clean
Keep your clothing and gear clean, and do not soil Café Rosé or its furniture. Wearing a nappy as part of your fetish is fine, but it must stay clean. Urine, faeces and other forms of deliberate soiling have no place at FSL.
10.
Different subcultures belong here too
Fetish is broader than leather, rubber and pup. Tribes and queer/fetish subcultures such as skins, punks and bears are welcome too. Different styles can exist alongside one another.
11.
It’s OK to have differences
Politics, religion and social issues may come up in conversation, and we don’t have to agree. Keep it mutual and give each other space. FSL is not a place for campaigning, activism, protest or discussions that take over the social. Racism, discrimination, intimidation and hostility towards people or groups cross a line.
12.
Keep visible symbols focused on our community
Pride, leather, rubber, bear, pup and other queer and fetish symbols are welcome. Please leave national, political, religious and activist flags, banners and similar displays out of FSL. This is not a judgement on any belief or issue; it keeps the focus on what brings us together here.
13.
No discriminatory or extremist symbols
Uniforms, military and tactical gear can be part of a fetish look. Racist, discriminatory, threatening or extremist symbols cannot. Nazi symbols and references to Nazi ideology are not allowed.
14.
Taking photos is fine; sharing requires consent
Taking photos and videos together is fine. If someone else is recognisable and you want to share or publish the image, ask for their consent first. What you’re happy to make public may be private for someone else.
15.
External media must contact us
Journalists, photographers and other external media must contact the organisers. We first agree on what is possible; interviews and media recordings cannot simply take place during the social. Our visitors’ privacy and the relaxed atmosphere come first.
16.
Changing is possible, but the space is shared
There is a shared office space where you can get changed. There are no individual cubicles, screens or lockers. The changing area and coat rack are unattended. Please look after your own belongings; FSL and Café Rosé are not liable for loss, theft or damage.
17.
Drugs have no place at FSL
Using drugs or attending under the influence of drugs is not allowed. If you drink alcohol, be mindful of yourself and others. Alcohol does not change anyone else’s boundaries.
18.
Something wrong? Come and speak to us
Feeling uncomfortable, has someone crossed your boundaries, or have you seen something happen? Speak to a member of the organising team. You don’t have to deal with an unpleasant situation on your own first.
19.
Sometimes we need to step in
Not every situation can be covered by rules in advance. FSL and Café Rosé may therefore intervene when necessary. We may speak to someone, give a warning or ask them to leave the social. In cases of more serious or repeated behaviour that crosses boundaries, we will discuss with Café Rosé what further steps are needed.
20.
No ticket needed, but capacity is limited
You don’t need to register and there are no tickets on sale. If Café Rosé reaches its maximum capacity, we can only let more visitors in when space becomes available.
21.
Order and pay at the bar
Drinks and hospitality are provided by Café Rosé. Please pay for your drink when you order. Pay by card where possible to help keep things moving at the bar.
22.
FSL ends at 18:30
Our social ends at 18:30. From 19:00, Café Rosé continues with its regular evening. You’re welcome to stay, but please adapt your outfit to a casual setting; jockstraps and very revealing outfits are no longer appropriate. You can get changed until 19:00 at the latest. If you then head somewhere else, such as Sway, please respect the atmosphere and rules there.
