What does Open-curtain rule mean?

On-premise lifestyle venues design play spaces with doors, chains, or heavy curtains so couples can control their privacy without stopping to explain boundaries verbally to passersby. When a door is latched or a curtain is pulled shut across an alcove, that room is strictly private — never peek through a gap, knock, or walk in uninvited.

When a couple leaves a curtain tied open or chooses an open group room, house convention generally allows respectful, quiet observation from a polite distance unless the participants signal otherwise. Even then, an open curtain never implies permission to touch, comment loudly, hover within arm's reach, or join without an explicit verbal invitation from everyone involved.

Because exact room rules vary by venue — some clubs designate specific voyeur windows while keeping other hallways spectator-free — confirm the house code during your club tour and read /guides/lifestyle-event-etiquette and /answers/playroom-door-and-curtain-etiquette-at-lifestyle-clubs.
