Frequently asked questions
-
Yes. Each couple has their own designated space, with couples intentionally spaced throughout the room so you can focus on each other. While you’ll be sharing the experience with other couples, you won’t be asked to perform or share intimate details with the group. What you choose to explore, discuss or experience together remains yours.
-
Perfectly normal. In fact, most couples arrive with some degree of nervousness! Makes sense when you’re trying something new together. We create a warm, low-pressure environment where you can take things at your own pace. You’re never put on the spot, and you’re in control of your experience the whole way.
-
Not at all! While you'll be sharing the space with other couples, Date Night is about your connection with your partner.
-
This is a non-sexual space. We may explore sensuality, kissing, and touch, but this is not a space for sexual activity. No genital touching, sexual touching, or touching under clothing. I ask everyone to honour the shared agreement so everyone can relax into the experience.
