Leather Azimuth Code of Conduct

We hold ourselves to a high standard. To that end, we have instituted a code of conduct to help guide members in their pursuit of becoming the best people they can be.

To accomplish our mission, we strive to bring together an assemblage of responsible and active people who engage in events, activities and form relationships through networking. It stands that being one who is a member and displays the colors of the organization, should be held to a higher standard than those who do not subscribe to its core values.

We seek people of moral character who hold these values as important in their dealings with others. It is what sets us apart from other organizations, regardless of focus.

 

Members are expected to conduct themselves, at all times, in a manner that will reflect well upon the organization, themselves, during public and private events, or when wearing or displaying the club's colors. Infringements, transgressions, or violations may result in the termination of membership and rights afforded by the club.

We seek to have people of substance and stature as contributing members, rather than people whose only purpose in membership is access to Bondage, Discipline, Dominance/Submission, Sadism/Masochism (BDSM) play. Meaningful BDSM activities are essential to what makes us tick, but when they are coupled with practiced values and educationally skill-based events, it makes for a more balanced and satisfying experience for members.

 

We have zero tolerance for illicit drug usage, or lack of sobriety, beyond social levels of drinking. When engaged in BDSM activities, members will be sober. If a member is not fit for BDSM activities they will be expected to excuse themselves from engaging in such activities to protect all involved.

We strive to be an assemblage of quality people, whose professional and personal lives are beyond reproach, and who hold dear the intimate and erotic nature of the Leather Lifestyle and well-practiced BDSM play.
