GOOD TO KNOW

Etiquette does not require staying in an uncomfortable interaction. Leave immediately when safety or consent becomes uncertain.

OPENING

Greet the person before evaluating the match

A simple hello and one ordinary question creates a fairer start than comments about appearance, demands for location, or an immediate request to move elsewhere.

BOUNDARIES

Treat “no” and hesitation as complete answers

Do not pressure for names, social accounts, sexual content, money, another camera angle, or a longer conversation. Consent must remain voluntary throughout the session.

ENDING

Leave cleanly when the conversation is done

A brief goodbye is polite when the exchange is respectful. Immediate exit is appropriate when someone is threatening, coercive, deceptive, or unsafe.

  • Do not record or redistribute another person without permission.
  • Do not show people in your room who did not consent.
  • Do not use insults to force a reaction.

QUICK ANSWERS

What people usually ask.

Is it rude to leave quickly?

Not necessarily. Random chat is voluntary. A brief goodbye is useful when comfortable, but safety never requires advance notice.

How do I handle silence?

Allow a pause, ask one different question, or end politely. Filling every second can make the exchange feel more pressured.

READY WHEN YOU ARE

Start with one conversation.
