Masked dancers, in glowing silks and shimmering satin costumes and dominos gavotte under the candlelight of Murano crystal chandeliers. Velvet-curtained alcoves conceal card games and trysts while musicians in one corner play for the dancers. Uniformed footmen offer champagne to all. Resting on a table near a gilded door, are feathered half-masks for newcomers.

The Masque and The Garden share a chat.

Our BDSM Garden Room is a place where people from the D/s and BDSM community, both new and seasoned, gather to chat.

The BDSM Garden is a safe place to teach, learn, and celebrate all things related to Domination, submission, and BDSM. It is also understood that the topic of conversation varies greatly and does not always include D/s or BDSM. BDSM topics are always encouraged, however.

There is no excuse for not knowing all the chatroom rules, even those linked. These rules apply to all chatters.

General

• No one under the age of 18 is allowed on any of The Masque Network websites or The BDSM Garden Discord server, no matter the laws of the country of residence. The Admins and Moderators will promptly remove all minors.

• NO under-age, incest, snuff, extreme violent sexual abuse, or bestiality role play, discussion, or requests are allowed, and offending chatters will be booted and banned without warning. Anyone found to be promoting illegal activities or distributing child pornography anywhere on The Masque and affiliated sites, including the Discord chat server, will be reported to the appropriate authorities without mercy or hesitation.

• Respect the other chatters. We are primarily an educational site and proponents of people exploring all SSC/P.R.I.C.K./R.A.C.K. forms of kink and fetishes. We do not discriminate between those who participate in BDSM activities and those who do not. We also have a policy of YKINMKBYKIOK (Your Kink Is Not My Kink, But Your Kink Is Okay).
