Rules & Member Guidelines
Gay Men’s Club – CDMX is a real-life social club for gay men in Mexico City. The club exists to help members meet in person, build friendships, socialize, attend small-group events, and participate in community, wellness, and educational activities.
This is not a dating app, a hookup group, a party circuit, or a spectator community. Membership is for men who genuinely want to show up, participate, and help create a respectful social space.
By registering for Gay Men’s Club – CDMX or attending any club event, you agree to follow these rules and guidelines.
1. Membership Eligibility
Gay Men’s Club – CDMX is open to gay men aged 22 or older.
Members must provide honest information when completing the registration questionnaire. The club uses your answers to help match members with events, activities, and groups that fit their interests, lifestyle, availability, and comfort level.
Submitting a registration form does not guarantee an invitation to every event. Some events are small, space is limited, and invitations may be based on event type, interests, group balance, availability, and prior participation.
2. Active Participation
This club is built around in-person connection. Members are expected to participate actively when invited to events.
Not every member will be invited to every event. Each event has a limited number of attendees, and invitations are sent based on the information provided in the membership questionnaire.
If a member declines more than three event invitations, they may be removed from future social club invitations. The purpose of the club is to meet, socialize, and build real connections — not simply observe from the sidelines.
If your availability changes or you need to pause participation, you may contact the club so your status can be updated.
3. RSVP and Attendance
Please only accept an invitation if you genuinely plan to attend.
If you RSVP “yes” and later cannot attend, notify the host as soon as possible. Last-minute cancellations and no-shows affect the entire group, especially for small events with limited seating.
Repeated no-shows, late cancellations, or unreliable RSVPs may result in fewer invitations or removal from the club.
Some events may require a deposit, contribution, or advance payment to confirm attendance. Any event cost or contribution will be explained before you confirm.
4. Respectful Conduct
All members are expected to treat others with respect.
Harassment, intimidation, bullying, unwanted sexual comments, aggressive behavior, humiliation, racism, xenophobia, body-shaming, age-shaming, HIV stigma, transphobia, classism, or discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated.
Respect also includes conversational boundaries. Not everyone wants to discuss their sex life, relationship status, body, age, income, immigration status, health, or personal history. Be curious, but do not interrogate people.
The host or organizer may remove anyone from an event if their behavior makes others uncomfortable or disrupts the gathering’s purpose.
5. Consent and Personal Boundaries
Consent is required for all forms of physical contact and personal interaction.
Do not touch, hug, kiss, flirt aggressively, make sexual comments, take photos, ask invasive questions, or enter someone’s personal space without clear consent.
Consent must be freely given and can be withdrawn at any time.
A social club works best when everyone feels safe enough to relax. When in doubt, ask respectfully — and accept the answer without pressure or argument.
6. Privacy
Member privacy is essential.
Do not share another member’s name, photo, phone number, social media profile, attendance, personal information, or anything discussed at an event without permission.
Many events may be hosted in a private home or private space. Event addresses are shared only with confirmed guests and may not be posted, forwarded, screenshotted, published, or shared with anyone else.
Do not invite friends, partners, dates, or guests unless the event invitation clearly allows it.
7. Photos and Video
No photos or videos may be taken at club events without clear permission from the people included.
Some events may have a no-phone or limited-phone policy. This is especially important for private gatherings, clothing-optional events, workshops, and events hosted in someone’s home.
If photos are allowed at a specific event, members must still ask before photographing or posting anyone.
No one should ever feel that attending a club event puts their privacy, employment, family life, immigration status, or personal safety at risk.
8. Private Home Events
Many early Gay Men’s Club – CDMX events were hosted in private homes.
Private home events require extra respect. Members agree to follow the host’s rules, arrive at the confirmed time, stay within the event areas, respect neighbors, and avoid behavior that creates safety, noise, privacy, or security concerns.
Do not arrive with unapproved guests. Do not share the address. Do not enter private rooms or areas that are not part of the event. Do not pressure the host or other members for information, favors, or future invitations.
The host has the right to ask anyone to leave at any time.
9. Alcohol and Drugs
No drugs are permitted at any Gay Men’s Club – CDMX social event.
Alcohol may be served or allowed at some events, depending on the host and event type. Members who choose to drink are expected to do so responsibly.
Excessive intoxication, pressure to drink, unsafe behavior, or disruptive conduct may result in removal from the event and future invitations.
10. Clothing-Optional, Body-Positive, & Adult Events
Some members may be invited to private clothing-optional, body-positive, and adult-themed events. These events are optional, private, and respectful.
Members may participate only at the level they are comfortable with.
Clothing-optional events are not always sex parties. They are intended to create a relaxed, body-positive, nonjudgmental environment based on respect, comfort, and consent. If an event is planned as a sex or sensual experience, it will be noted on invitations; otherwise, that will not be the purpose of the event.
Additional rules may apply to these events, including:
- No photos or video.
- No sexual pressure. Consent is always the rule.
- No comments about another person’s body.
- No staring or making others uncomfortable.
- Bring and use a towel when sitting naked.
- Respect different comfort levels.
- Follow the host’s instructions at all times.
Anyone who ignores boundaries or makes others uncomfortable may be asked to leave and excluded from future invitations.
11. Workshops and Educational Events
Gay Men’s Club – CDMX may host workshops related to communication, relationships, body confidence, intimacy, sexual health literacy, consent, wellness, fitness, and personal growth.
These events are educational and discussion-based. They are not sexual events, although some might require nudity and touching, which will be disclosed in the event invite.
Members are expected to participate respectfully, listen without judgment, and keep personal stories shared during workshops private.
Workshops do not replace professional medical, psychological, legal, or therapeutic advice. When needed, members should consult qualified professionals.
12. Fitness, Wellness, and Physical Activities
Some events may include yoga, HIIT, abs classes, stretching, hiking, biking, swimming, walking, or other physical activities.
Members are responsible for deciding whether an activity is appropriate for their fitness level, health, and physical condition.
Participation is voluntary. Do not pressure others to perform exercises, remove clothing, disclose health information, or participate beyond their comfort level.
If an activity has specific requirements, risks, or preparation instructions, they will be shared before the event.
13. No Solicitation or Self-Promotion
Gay Men’s Club – CDMX is not a place to sell services, recruit clients, promote businesses, collect contacts, market products, push political campaigns, or use the group for personal gain.
Members may naturally build friendships and professional connections, but solicitation, pressure, repeated self-promotion, or the use of the club as a sales funnel are not allowed.
14. Safety and Host Discretion
The club may refuse membership, limit invitations, pause participation, or remove a member from an event or the club if necessary to protect the safety, privacy, comfort, or purpose of the community.
The host or organizer’s decision is final during any event.
Rules may be updated as the club grows and new event formats are introduced.
15. The Spirit of the Club
Gay Men’s Club – CDMX is built on presence, kindness, respect, privacy, and real connection.
Come with good intentions. Be friendly. Be reliable. Respect the space. Respect the host. Respect the other members.
The goal is simple: to create a club where gay men in Mexico City can meet offline, feel welcome, and build a stronger social life together.
