• Consent: Only consensual kink has a place at Firebound. Every interaction must be based on explicit consent. Obtain this explicitly, whether in play or ‘outside’, and note: the context of a kink event may change the meaning of words, actions, and touch.

• Global safewords: “Mayday” and “red” are considered universal safewords that immediately end the current scene. Keep these in mind during your own play and intervene if necessary if these safewords are ignored—if in doubt, the awareness team can help here.
• Sessions as safe spaces: Respect the privacy of others, both during and after their sessions. Only interact with people while they are playing at their explicit request, and give them space and time for play and aftercare.
• Respect for quiet areas: There are quiet areas at the festival that can be used at any time. Please be mindful when using these areas and use them in such a way that others can use them too.
• Hygiene: Clean play equipment before and after use. We are in nature, and even though we do our best, we need your help to ensure that all equipment and play areas are always perfectly hygienic.
• Only “yes” means ‘yes’: Explicit consent requires clear communication at a festival: Only a clear, enthusiastic, and unambiguous “yes” constitutes explicit consent.

• Being open: Try to be open and accepting at the festival. If you're expecting certain fantasies to come true or certain interactions to happen, you might be disappointed. Even at a festival with lots of other open-minded people, there's no guarantee you'll get the interactions you want.
• Act responsibly: Even if everyone looks after themselves, it helps to look out for each other as well. Look out for each other, inform the awareness team, and help each other if someone is feeling unwell.
• Personal responsibility: Take responsibility for yourself and your partners. You are present in all your interactions and know your desires and preferences like no one else.
• Responsible behavior: Even if everyone takes care of themselves, it helps to look out for each other as well. Take care of each other, inform the awareness team, and help each other if someone is feeling unwell.
• Respect for the team: The organizing team is ultimately responsible for the event and works hard to create a great festival. It's a tough job and doesn't happen without conflict. Respect the team's decisions and the people behind the roles.

• Awareness team: Our team offers support and assistance in unpleasant or inappropriate situations. They are available around the clock and are on hand to offer advice and assistance.
• Paramedics: Our team is equipped to deal with medical emergencies and can alert the emergency services if necessary, or coordinate their access to the site. Minor injuries can also be treated. Ask about it at the information desk.
• Information desk: The information desk also helps with questions about the festival schedule, emergencies of any kind, and the rules, and ensures harmonious coexistence.

• Privacy: The Vegas Rule applies: What happens at Firebound stays at Firebound. Protect the privacy of everyone involved by not sharing any personal information without the express consent of all parties involved.
• Photo rules: Photos are generally not welcome, as even the impression of being photographed can be disturbing—especially at a kinky festival.
• Sharing & social media: If you want to talk about Firebound on social media, limit yourself to your own experience and refrain from associating other people with Firebound.

Rückzugsorte und Ruhebereiche
Für alle, die zwischendurch eine Auszeit vom Trubel brauchen, gibt es einen Ruheraum und verschiedene Orte zum Runterkommen. Diese Zonen bieten Raum für Ruhe und Entspannung, und hier gelten strikte Regeln: Mindestens die Genitalien müssen bedeckt sein, Lautstärke ist zu reduzieren und es sind keine sexuellen und kinky Handlungen erlaubt.

Außerdem gibt es ausgeschilderte No-Play-Bereiche, zum Beispiel einen der Sanitärbereiche und eine Sauna. In diesen ist keine kinky oder sexuelle Interaktion erlaubt.

Festivalplatz, Umfeld und Natur

• Achtsamkeit: Wir sind hier Gäste: in der Natur und auf dem Platz. Haltet inne, um die Natur wahrzunehmen. Geht schonend mit Ressourcen um, hinterlasst Spielgelegenheiten und Zeltplatz ordentlich.
• Pfadfinderprinzip: Wir sind hier zu Gast in einem Pfadfinderlager. Nehmt es zum Anlass, eines ihrer Prinzipien zu verinnerlichen. Wir hinterlassen jeden Platz schöner und besser, als wir ihn vorgefunden haben.
• Öffentlichkeit: Um das Festivalgelände herum liegen öffentliche Wege und vor allem bei gutem Wetter sind Spaziergänger*innen mit Hund und Familien sehr nah. Wir haben einen Sichtschutz aufgebaut, dass das Gelände von außen nicht einsichtig ist und Information aufgehängt, dass hier ein 18+ Festival stattfindet. Bitte bewegt euch in kink Interaktionen oder Outfits nicht außerhalb des Festivalgeländes.

Our awareness team is available during the day and late into the night. You can recognize them by their purple vests. Please also take note of our awareness policy.

You can also ask for awareness at the information desk, and someone from the team will come to you.

Before and after the festival, you can contact the team at awareness@firebound.de.
