So is this a giant sex party?
Absolutely not. What happens in the hotel rooms between consenting adults is their business, but sex of any kind in public areas is completely and totally out of the question.
What are the house rules?
Here at Fetish Factory, we like to promote a safe, sane, and consensual environment for all of our party-goers. Please be familiar with our house rules as outlined below. These rules apply for all public areas and shared spaces.
1. No photography of any kind. Approved photographers will have a Fetish Factory Photopass.
2. If it’s not yours, don’t touch it – this goes for both people and their belongings.
3. No sex or simulated sex. (If it /looks/ like sex, then it’s sex.)
4. No drugs – don’t ask for them; don’t sell them.
5. No edge play. This includes fire play, breath play, blood play, knife play, etc.
6. No watersports or scat.
7. Use common sense and don’t be a dick! Some things go without saying, just be respectful to other party-goers and to our staff.
7. B. Not a rule, but something to keep in mind. Even in your rooms, someone is going to have to clean up after you leave. Remember they are vanillas! They’ve been through enough over the weekend without the aftermath scaring them for life. (Not to mention, any damages will be charged to your card.)
Not knowing the rules is no excuse for breaking them. Everyone will be held accountable for their behavior. Period. If you break the rules, you may be removed from the event and face being barred from future events as well. And no, you will not get your money back if we have to kick you out.

How can I take photos?
Photos are able to be taken OUTSIDE of our main ticketed official events! Otherwise, please leave it to our photographers!
If you are a photographer and want to take photos at our event, talk to Glenn when he’s booking you about getting a Photopass. Bear in mind that we are very selective about the people we let take photos, not everyone that asks will get a pass. Please contact Glenn here for more info: Glenn@fetishfactory.com
What if I want my photo taken?
Just ask! All our photographers are members of the community too, and they love capturing everyone having fun and being outrageous!
What if I DON'T want my photo taken?
At the events, go and introduce yourself to the photographers and let them know you don’t want your picture taken. You can also put your hand in front of your face to signal to them that you don’t want to be photographed. If a photographer already took your photo, you can ask that they delete it.
If your photos already made it onto Fetishfactory.com, please send an email to Glenn@fetishfactory.com and CC Graphics@fetishfactory.com. In the email send us links to the individual photos you want removed, and a photo of yourself or what you were wearing so we can verify we’ll be deleting the correct photos.
