Perfect Place For Poly Play - PPPP

Recently Scotto posted something about the PPPP, the original text is below. I have to disagree with it just a little. The perfect place for poly play….is just that, but peoples definition of perfect is always different.

The first thing that got to me was…. “Please respect the people engaged in play and if you wish to join, then do so ever so gently and with grace.” That is lovely in theory….but as a person who can finds it hard to say no when something has started….It would prefer that you ask before you gently join in….then whoever can say no this is between us, or yes I would love to connect more. For me Asking first is always appreciated. Sometimes we let our ethereal emotions take over and it becomes hard to say NO to people we love as camp mates and spirits…but feel bad about our selves that we didn’t say NO….and then resent that we were never really asked….This is just asking for drama.

The second thing…was interpretation of a sacred space….why not a sex swing…I thought that was a wonderful gift to give to the community….you don’t have to use it….or even watch…but I know I for one have always wanted to try it….although I didn’t make time for it last year…I am sure looking forward to it this year. For me burning man is about time to think out of the box and try things you might not get to experience in the default world.

One of the things I like best about burning man is acceptance. I know there are limits to this, like open explicit sexual activities in the community space is really not cool, …that is why we have the PPPP. Now to suddenly put rules on the sexually safe play space kind of seems like it is taking away from acceptance of what is fun and sexual to others.

Perhaps we just need to respect what is going on….if people are in the midst of a puja and tantric sexual experiences it is not the time to go and play on the sex swing or pool (not sure what that was) on the reverse side if people are into the erotica and experimentation of the sex swing…and laughter and playing respect there time also.

The basics are….clean up after yourself, be respectful of other peoples rights and their determinations of sexuality. ASK FIRST!!! And be over 21 years old.

It should be a loving wonderful space were people are free to experiment with people they love and care about, make bonds that go beyond what the default world has defined as “acceptable” and learn to be accepting and tolerant of everyone’s personal self expression.

There are my feelings on the subject. I hope I did not offend anyone….I just always want poly paradise to be a place of acceptance and respect.

Poly Paradise is pleased to provide our members and their invited guests a wonderful space for adult play known as the Perfect Place for Poly Play or Four Peas. Four Peas, also known as the Tantra Dome, is a 25 foot geodesic dome decorated with colorful cloths and tapestries, softy floored and scattered with futons, pillows and warm blankets.

Soft mood lighting washes this special space and gentle music fills the air. Well sealed from the harsh environment outside, it is a place for love, healing and connecting with others. Consider the Four Peas as the "heart Chakra" of camp, if you will.

Four Peas is also a space for intimate organized events such as Snuggle Parties, Tantric Puja's, Intimacy Encounters and other events that would be inappropriate for our more public areas.

Four Peas is open at all times for the exclusive use of our members and their invited guests, with the exception of organized events that will happen from time to time.

Four Peas is shared space for all and everyone is welcome. Singles, couples, triads, quads and more. Please respect the space and the people using it by picking up after yourself and using the disposal container near the altar. Please respect the people engaged in play and if you wish to join, then do so ever so gently and with grace. If the answer is anything but "yes," don't take it personally.

Four Peas can be considered "Created Sacred Space" and the theme is: Love, Healing, Spirit, Exploration and Nurturing. With that in mind, we ask everyone to keep the energy inside warm, inviting and inclusive. Be open to other people and what they have to offer. Be free to ask for what you need that other people may have to share. We ask that members not install anything that detracts from the theme like last year's swing and pool projects. Bring pillows, futons and
comforters instead.
