Community Guidelines

Joyride is a space for the queer and the curious. Our party is centred on the values of joy, playfulness and exploration. To co-create this atmosphere together, we must have certain protocols in place.

By coming to Joyride you are agreeing to follow these guidelines. Any infractions will be dealt with firmly, resulting in either a warning, ejection or a permanent ban from this space.  

  • Consent is paramount to our party. Do not touch people without their explicit consent. This includes non-consensual groping and touching someone’s body or clothes during conversation. Always ask first and respect people’s answers. If you’re playing, we ask that you regularly check-in with your partner(s) to make sure they’re still feeling good. It is your responsibility to make sure you are engaging in consensual practices.  

  • If an incident occurs, if you feel uncomfortable or if you see something that looks problematic, please let our Welfare Team know and they will deal with it in an appropriate manner. They’re the huns wearing yellow bandanas and flashing armbands, and they’re there to offer support. 

  • No racism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, body-shaming, ageism. 

  • No fetishising other humans. The following types of fetish play are not allowed in our space; race play, fetishisation of trans folx, fetishisation of disabled people, fetishisation of fat people, fetishisation based on a person’s age.

  • Be mindful not to assume anyone’s sex, sexuality or gender. Ask for someone’s pronouns before using them. 

  • Be mindful of boundaries with our Welfare Team. Please don’t touch anyone without consent and treat them with respect. 

  • We welcome disabled and neurodivergent people at Joyride. We want everyone to feel empowered to communicate their needs and how their disability or neurodivergence may affect the way they play. We ask everyone to bear in mind that we each have different ways of understanding and communicating social cues.

  • Go slow. Take breaks. Drink plenty of water. 

  • No photos and no phones on the dancefloor or in the playrooms. On arrival we will ask you to put a sticker over your camera to resist temptation. Our photographer will be more than happy to take your picture and will always ask for consent first. Please be aware that any photos taken may appear in our promotional materials including our mailer, Instagram, Dice and website. If you ever want your photo removed from the Instagram, Dice or website, just let us know. Photo’s will not be uploaded till 2 or 3 days after the event, you can email us on info@joyriderave.com to ensure photos will not be uploaded at all.

  • Feel free to bring toys and lube - rope, small whips, paddles and sex toys are allowed. However, anything that can be used as a hazardous weapon such as bats, needles and knuckle dusters are not allowed. Any liquid other than lube will be confiscated upon entry.

  • Some play is allowed throughout the venue such as kissing and hand play, but please use the playrooms for group scenes, impact play and intercourse.  

  • Dress code: We will always be scantily clad, wearing next to nothing, but we want you to feel comfortable and empowered in your personal lewks. As a general approach: 

- What’s in: 

  • Latex, lingerie, lace, leather, wet-look, pvc, mesh 

  • Nipples, bulges, butt cheeks, body hair

  • Chains, whips, harnesses, fetish accoutrements (but no weapons) 

  • Rave-wear befitting of a k_nk party

  • Bold make-up and outlandish lewks

- What's out: 

  • Streetwear (civvy clothes)  

  • Cotton briefs alone (accessorise) 

  • Fancy dress 

  • No effort made to fit with the dress code 

  • Cultural appropriation

  • Lights or LEDs 

  • This is a protected space but it is a vulnerable space. No matter how many preventative measures we have in place, things can go wrong. Remain aware and look after one another. We recommend always coming with another person.
