F.A.Q.

First and foremost, you should expect to be in an accepting, safe, and comfortable environment. We operate on the principles of inclusion.

Event types will vary. Some are “vanilla” and in public settings, such as a meetup or a “munch.” Some are in upscale hotel suites or in partnership with local “Lifestyle” clubs, wherein adults will have the opportunity to enjoy lifestyle activities. At no point will you ever be pressured by anyone to participate in any form of adult activities at our events; doing so will always be of your own consent and free will.

Overall, you should expect to have a seriously sensual good time with like-minded individuals!

Event invites will contain detailed information as to what style the event will be.

We accept keyholder applications from all walks of life. However, our staff hand selects applicants for approval based upon an evolving criterion that we feel best suits our event styles and the interests of our keyholders (physical appearance, lifestyle interests, etc.).

Admission varies from event to event. When you receive your invitation to a specific event, any applicable admission costs will be clearly outlined at that time.

The location depends upon the event. Some will be held in high end hotels, some are in partnership with local lifestyle clubs that have a physical location. Some will be hosted at pools, while other events are “vanilla” and will be hosted in a variety of public venues.

Unless there is a themed event (ex: a Pajama Party) guests are expected to dress to impress. A suit and tie isn’t necessary; however, no sagging pants, ball caps, political attire, open toed shoes/flip flops, gym attire, etc. Again, dress to impress. Try to make a great impression upon everyone else attending!

We will host a variety of events with specified themes (or “categories”), so be on the lookout for these!

A professor once said, ” To be early is to be on time; if you’re on time, you’re late.”

We are sticklers for punctuality. Your invite/RSVP will clearly state the event start time and when doors close for the evening. After doors close, there will be no entry or reentry. This is for the safety and privacy of all of our guests.

We accept keyholder applications from all walks of life. However, our staff hand selects applicants for approval based upon an evolving criterion that we feel best suits our event styles and the interests of our keyholders (physical appearance, lifestyle interests, etc.). Furthermore, we only invite like minded people to a specific event.

Yes. For new members, we send a detailed email with the basic rules/precepts of the “lifestyle”.

Furthermore, we offer ongoing education on being ethically involved and active within the “lifestyle”. Should you ever have any questions on any subject matter at all, please feel free to approach/contact us at any time, either during or outside of an event.

Minimum age is 21, Age range is 21 and up. Average age is approximately 35.

We NEVER under any circumstance whatsoever sell alcohol. However, we do provide a variety of packaged mixers, water, and non alcoholic beverages.

Yes. Your information and photos submitted with your Keyholder application are 100% safe and securely stored within our 256bit encrypted dedicated data server (located offshore in Southeast Asia, outside of U.S. jurisdiction, with two factor authentication as well as biometrics). Your information will never be shared or sold with outside sources.

To make this as straightforward as possible, here are some of the most common reasons an application may not be approved:

Your application did not include a clear photo of you.
We specifically request a recent, recognizable photo as part of the application process. If no photo was submitted—or the image submitted was of something other than you—we are unable to properly review the application and it may be denied.

You fall outside of the general physical criteria we currently use when curating our Keyholder community.
Eden After Dark is intentionally curated, and we ask that Keyholders and prospective Keyholders be at least moderately height/weight proportionate.

This is not intended as a judgment of anyone’s attractiveness, worth, or ability to participate in the lifestyle. Rather, after years of producing events, we have learned that thoughtful curation and compatibility among attendees play a significant role in creating the type of social and intimate environment our guests expect.

Our events also sometimes include physically demanding activities, equipment, furniture, or forms of play for which mobility, stamina, and physical compatibility can be important considerations.

If Eden After Dark is not the best fit, we are always happy to recommend other lifestyle venues or events that may offer a community, atmosphere, or attendance mix better suited to what you are looking for.

You fall outside of our general age range.
If you are under 21, this one is an absolute no. Sorry, kiddo—you’ll have to wait until you can legally join us for gatherings and meetups held in 21+ venues.

We also maintain a general upper age range for new Keyholders. It is not an absolute cutoff, and exceptions are certainly made. However, based on many years of experience in the lifestyle, we have found that events tend to generate stronger chemistry and better overall experiences when the majority of attendees fall within a reasonably similar age demographic.

Ultimately, Eden After Dark is a curated private community. Approval is based on a combination of factors, and meeting any one particular criterion does not guarantee acceptance.
