Safety is so important. Here are our rules:
- Verify before meeting — If you meet someone online, video chat first. Established Los Angeles clubs do verification at the door.
- Tell someone where you're going — A trusted vanilla friend who knows about your lifestyle.
- Use protection, always — Most clubs provide condoms, but bring your own preferred brand.
- Limit alcohol — Stay aware and in control.
- Have a safe word with your partner — If either of you is uncomfortable, you leave together immediately.
- Protect your identity — Use a lifestyle-only email and phone number if you're concerned about privacy.
- Trust your gut — If something feels off, it probably is. Don't ignore red flags.

I'd add: stick to established clubs and events in Los Angeles when you're starting out. Avoid random house parties from people you just met online. The legitimate Los Angeles lifestyle community is self-policing — problematic people get banned quickly. Also, get tested regularly (every 3-6 months) and be upfront about your status.
