On Maui, we don't have open parties. We find it is much easier to create an atmosphere where people are comfortable enough to get naked and have a good time if all of the attendees are pre-screened. It's a simple enough process. Each new person has to meet at least two members of the community and have both of those people agree that the new person is not just looking for free porn, or searching for drama. We have had very few people that we have met and then not invited to parties, but for those people - everyone was very glad we screened them out.

We are currently only planning our events about 2 months ahead. You can email questions@mauibdsm.org if you have specific questions. We don't post parties on the website. We have an email distribution list for that so the information only gets to those who we have screened.

1. The munches are open to everyone. All you have to do is show up
2. There are no special requirements if you just want to come to classes. Just respond and let us know you are coming
3. If you would like to come to a party or any of our private events, you will need to be screened first. Screening means meeting at least two members of the community. The main purpose of this is to weed out anyone who would put a damper on everyone else's fun. Almost everyone we meet this way is fine, but for the people that we reject - everyone is glad we do this. The easiest way to be screened is to just come to a munch or class and talk to everyone.

• 18 years of age minimum - even for social events. If you look young, it's safest to just bring your id
• Please utilize the screening process that we have for all new people. Each new person must meet at least two of the core members and get approved before they will be invited to private events. The munches are the easiest way to do that.
• Guests are the responsibility of the person that brings them. Please be sure to let us know if you are bringing guests/dates to any events. You can only start bringing guests after you've been to a dozen or so events.
• Confidentiality. Don't talk about who you saw at our events
• Just because there is no rule against it, doesn't mean it's acceptable. Use common sense. We will let you know if you are out of line and if you don't listen, we will let you know more forcefully.

We are currently looking for someone with good organizational skills to send out invitations to events and keep track of the responses. We can also always use help setting up and cleaning up after parties.
