The Picklemelon Society

At the individual level, individuals engaged in ethical non-monogamy may describe their philosophy using any number of terms.

At a high level, ENM community parties can usually be classified as either swinger parties or kink parties.

Picklemelon Society parties are a little different. The goal of the Picklemelon Society is to provide a safe space for swingers to explore their kink interests, for kinksters to swing, and for newcomers to the lifestyle to learn about it all.

All Picklemelon parties are kink-friendly and sex-positive. We strive to provide a play space that combines the best aspects of both worlds: the casual sexiness of a swinger party with the structure and oversight of a kink party.

The Picklemelon Society takes your privacy seriously and all of your information will be kept confidential. Your information will never be shared or sold. All of your forms and IDs are maintained on a private, secure server. Access controls are strictly enforced, limiting who can view or manage sensitive information based on their role and need-to-know basis.

The Picklemelon Society keeps a copy of your ID for security and verification purposes. This practice helps ensure the safety and consent of all participants by confirming age, identity, and sometimes membership status. It's a precautionary measure to maintain a respectful and trustworthy environment, where everyone involved can feel confident and protected. Additionally, it helps the Picklemelon Society comply with legal regulations and uphold our policies regarding membership and entry requirements.

You do not need a scene name.

In the kink community, people often refer to their nicknames or pseudonyms as "scene names" or "play names." These names are used to maintain anonymity and privacy while participating in kink activities or events. Scene names allow individuals to separate their private lives from their involvement in the kink community, helping to protect their identity and personal information. They are also a way to express a chosen persona or role within the context of kink play.

We respect this convention and our moderators will address you by your preferred scene name if you provide one. Picklemelon Society members are welcome to use a scene name or any other pseudonym to maintain interpersonal anonymity while attending an event.

All Picklemelon parties are kink-friendly and sex-positive. We are big believers in not yucking other people's yum. We ask all of our guests to be similarly respectful of everyone's idea of a fun and sexy time. That said, please be sure to ask for consent before touching, and do not interrupt a scene in progress.

Moderators will be present to ensure everyone is having a good time, and everyone will attend a short, one-time orientation about what to expect at a Picklemelon Society party.

For our experienced kinksters, please note that Picklemelon Society parties are not high protocol events. Casual touch interactions such as offering to shake hands or greeting hugs may occur, and many attendees may be unfamiliar with with approaching a power dynamic couple.

In keeping with the Picklemelon Society's goal to provide a safe space for kinksters and swingers interested in learning about kink, we have moderators at all of our parties. Kink parties have moderators to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all participants. Moderators play a crucial role in enforcing the event's rules and guidelines, which are designed to promote consent, boundaries, and overall well-being. They monitor interactions, intervene if necessary to address any misconduct or breaches of etiquette, and provide support or guidance to attendees as needed. By maintaining order and upholding community standards, moderators help create a space where individuals can explore their kinks and fetishes freely, knowing their experiences will be both enjoyable and respectful.
