Safer Meets Terms on MyPineapple.com outline the guidelines and best practices for ensuring that in-person meetings between members are safe, consensual, and enjoyable for all parties involved. Here are the key principles:
1. Consent and Communication
• All interactions must be consensual. Clear and open communication is essential before and during any meeting.
• Discuss boundaries, expectations, and limits with potential partners in advance to ensure that everyone is on the same page.
2. Meet in Public First
• For your first meeting, choose a neutral, public location like a café, bar, or social event. This allows both parties to feel comfortable and ensures safety in case expectations aren’t aligned.
3. Share Limited Personal Information
• Protect your privacy by limiting the amount of personal information you share before you feel completely comfortable with the other party. Avoid sharing home addresses, work details, or financial information early on.
4. Let Someone Know
• Before going to a meet, tell a trusted friend where you’re going and who you’re meeting. You can also set a check-in time with that person, so they can ensure you’re safe.
5. Use the Platform’s Messaging
• Keep communications within the platform’s messaging system until you’re ready to exchange personal contact information. The platform’s communication tools are designed to protect your privacy.
6. Trust Your Instincts
• If something doesn’t feel right during a conversation or meet-up, trust your gut and walk away. You are under no obligation to continue an interaction that makes you uncomfortable.
7. Be Sober and Aware
• Avoid excessive alcohol or drug use during meet-ups to ensure that you can make clear decisions and stay in control of the situation.
8. Respect Others’ Boundaries
• Always respect the personal boundaries of others. If someone expresses discomfort or asks to stop any activity, it’s crucial to respect their wishes immediately.
9. Bring Protection
• If you plan on engaging in sexual activity, always bring protection such as condoms or dental dams to ensure sexual health and safety for all parties involved.
10. Reporting Violations
• If you feel unsafe or someone violates the agreed-upon terms of consent, report the issue to the platform’s support team. We take these matters seriously and will investigate any violations.
These Safer Meets Terms are designed to foster a respectful and safe environment, ensuring that all in-person interactions arranged through MyPineapple.com are positive and consensual.
