02 About the Party

Are you #Dude4Dude? Then this is the party for you.

The Queer Dude's Party is what a Wednesday should be: 6,000 square feet of dungeon in Washington, DC, packed with Queer Dudes who came out to play. Hosted by Alixzander, The QDP is a space where you can catch a dude's eye across the room and actually do something about it.

Play runs however you and your partners negotiate it — rough, soft, geared-up, tied down, or slow and teasing. Wear full gear, a jock, or as little as you want. Not ready to play? Watching is totally fine.

Every Queer Dude — Cis, Trans, Non-binary, and More — belongs here.

03 House Policies

The rules that keep the party hot and safe.

Crucible rules apply

Attendees are expected to abide by all Crucible guidelines: the Rules, Code of Conduct, and Consent Policy and Consent Incident Policy. That includes never “repeatedly and intentionally mislabeling people of varying genders and orientations” or “degrading other people based on their body type, ability, race, ethnicity, country of origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, relationship status, religion, or spiritual path”.

Consent, always

Negotiate before you play. An enthusiastic yes is the only yes — from everyone involved, for every act. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, and "no" is a complete sentence. Consent violations get you removed and banned.

No phones, no photos

Phones stay put away in all play and social areas. No photography or recording, period. What happens at the party stays at the party — outing someone is a consent violation.

Dungeon Monitors

DMs are on the floor all night. They're there to keep scenes safe, answer questions, and step in if something's off. If you see something concerning, tell a DM — that's what they're for.

Dress code

Leather, rubber, gear, jocks, harnesses, boots, or nothing much at all — dress for the party you want to have. Street clothes are just as welcome, if that's what makes you feel sexy. Changing space is available.

Sober enough to consent

The bar is open — enjoy it. But you can't negotiate a scene you're too intoxicated to remember, and anyone visibly impaired will be asked to stop playing or to leave. No illegal substances on site.

Play safer

Safer-sex supplies, gloves, and cleanup materials are stocked throughout the space. Clean equipment after your scene. Respect other people's scenes — watch from a respectful distance and never touch anyone or their gear without an invitation.

04 Getting In

This event is 21+ with a cash bar, and identification is required at the entrance. The Crucible is a private membership club, so you must be a Member of the Crucible — or the Guest of a Member — to attend.

05 Accessibility

There are no steps to enter the Crucible or to get around inside the club, so it should be wheelchair-accessible. There is a short, very low ramp into the bathrooms, where one stall is larger and wheelchair-accessible.
