In practice, this means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You Must Ask Before Acting:<\/strong><br>Always seek explicit consent before initiating any interaction, no matter how small.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Means No:<\/strong><br>If someone declines, their decision is final.

Many people visit playrooms simply to observe or socialize.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.
