| OLYMPIANS CONDUCT |
The OLYMPIANS are based on the ideology that gay men being naked together is a very joyous
thing. The freedom associated with being naked with a group of other gay men is very positive
indeed. We don't want that feeling of freedom stifled, but sometimes men can get carried
away, and communication is very important (even more so at times), and some basic rules
must be followed for all events:
· The OLYMPIANS are not a clothing optional group, so you must remove your clothes once
you've gotten signed in and dropped off your food and whatever else you may have arrived with.
Body jewelry and other accessories are allowed.
· The door will remain open for 1 1/2 hours after the beginning of an event. At that point the
door will be locked, and will not be opened for admittance. Please do not call the host or ring
the doorbell after this time. We're sorry if you have had a problem arriving within the entry time
window, but since there is MUCH advance notice of time & date for an event, there will be
plenty of opportunities to attend a future event. We don't want to exclude anyone from enjoying
an Olympians event, but it is only fair that all present by door curfew enjoy the experience
without interruption, once the 1 1/2hour (+) entry window has passed.
· Most events are potluck, so whatever you bring, expect it to be shared. If you brought
something special along just for yourself be sure to put it in something that can be clearly
marked as such. This includes food and/or drink.
· Photography is not generally allowed at OLYMPIANS events. If you wish to take a
photograph of someone you must get his permission first. Otherwise, you are forbidden from
taking the picture.
· Drinking of liquor is allowed, but you must bring your own. If you drink to the point of being
unmanageable, you will be ejected from the gathering. If this behavior becomes a trend you
will be expelled from the membership.
· The OLYMPIANS has always been a social and physical group with plenty of physical play
involved in our gatherings (unless otherwise limited by the host). Sometimes in the "heat of the
moment" or "getting into" the joy of the naked physicality and sexualness of the play, one can
get carried away. If you approach someone sexually and they tell you NO, or physically give you
obvious signs that they do not want to be touched by you, do not continue to purse this person!
There is a general assumption that we are all adult men who are considerate of others and
will respect that other person's space. Please do so. We don't want any member (or
prospective member) being uncomfortable about being naked around other gay men,
especially members of The OLYMPIANS. If more than one complaint is received by the
Steering Committee on a particular attendee, a decision will be made as to whether this
person's membership (or presence at the particular event) will be revoked or not.
Barebacking (unprotected anal sex) is NOT allowed at an OLYMPIANS event.
· Clean up after yourself, please. It doesn't take that much effort to throw away cups, plates,
etc. after you're done eating. Find the appropriate receptacle and put your trash in it (this also
goes for used condoms, lube containers, paper towels, etc.). The cleaner we leave the spaces
where the gatherings are held, the more likely we'll continue to be able to use that space. Let
us show the hosts that they shouldn't be hesitant about making their space available for a
gathering. You will be called upon occasionally to assist in cleaning up if it is necessary.
· Smoking is not typically allowed inside at gatherings and there is usually an area to smoke
outside, sometimes sheltered, sometimes not. Indication of smoking status for a host's space
is included along with the directions and info on that particular event.
· Bring a towel if the event includes a hot tub. It is unfair to assume that the host has spare
towels for you to use, let alone the fact that they will then have to be laundered, at the host's
time and expense. If you don't bring a towel don't just grab someone else's for you use. The
info sheet with details and directions indicates whether or not there will be a hot tub available
and a reminder to bring a towel. Suggestion: if you didn't bring a towel you probably shouldn't
use the hot tub. If you've invited a guest, please be sure to tell him he'll need a towel if the event
includes a hot tub so he's not put in an embarrassing situation.
