Sober & kinky
No alcohol, or none around play. Clear heads, clear consent, and people who won't hand you a drink.
Tribes are new: the first people to add this get found first by everyone who joins after.
The scene has a long sober tradition: most dungeons and play parties ban alcohol, and plenty of people in recovery, or who just don't drink, find the munch with a soda water easier than any bar. Sober and kinky says that up front.
On a card it tells people not to suggest a drinks date, and it finds the others who'd rather meet for coffee. It also signals something people value in a partner: clear heads, clear consent.
Many cities have sober munches or alcohol-free events; the city page notes them where the organizer says so. Most play spaces are dry already, so a sober evening in the scene is the normal kind, not a special one.
If you're in recovery, the scene's emphasis on honesty, negotiated limits and checking in will feel familiar. Say as much or as little about it on your card as you like; the tag alone is enough to find the people who'll never hand you a drink.
Put it on your card
Join free, say who you are and what you're looking for, and the people who share this find you in one tap. No real names, nothing explicit.
