What does Sober Consent mean?
Sober consent is a freely given, informed, and reversible agreement made while everyone involved is clear-minded enough to understand, communicate, and choose without impairment.
Sober consent means every participant is clear-minded enough to understand what is being discussed or considered, communicate freely, and make a voluntary choice. It supports the same essentials as any consent: it is informed, specific, reversible, and ongoing. A person who is intoxicated, unusually impaired, or unable to communicate clearly cannot give reliable agreement; pause the conversation and revisit it when everyone is alert.
In practice, agree in advance on a sober baseline and check in plainly before making plans. Alcohol or other substances can blur boundaries, slow responses, and make later recall uncertain, even when no one intends harm. If anyone seems impaired, feels unsure, or cannot answer directly, treat that as a stop, not an invitation to persuade. Consent can be renewed later while sober, and a no or hesitation deserves immediate respect.
Find your people, at your pace.
New member registration, when available, will be on the website and in the native apps; digital membership purchases take place in the native apps via StoreKit 2 and Google Play Billing. Existing members can continue using the website. At launch, member identity verification will run through an automated government ID, biometric face-match and liveness check by Veriff: from the current Veriff check JoinTheSwing never receives or stores the images — we retain the verification result, Veriff's session reference, a consent receipt and non-biometric review metadata. Members who verified through our earlier, retired in-house pass may still have ID, selfie or couple photos in our private verification-document storage, deleted when the account is deleted. The free launch list does not create an account, start a subscription or charge a card.
