“In the main room — sometimes referred to as the “play space” — a man named Mercury is midway through giving a tour to the other newbies. I’ve gotten the tour before, but Mercury, the executive director of the all-volunteer nonprofit CPI, which runs The Mark, waves me over anyway. Since I last wrote about The Mark for the Scene in 2013, the club has moved locations. Then, as now, I was impressed by The Mark’s culture of consent. The club has three guiding principles — “Safe, Sane and Consensual.” That means abuse is not tolerated, drugs and alcohol are not allowed, and clear-headedness is required at all times. There are no private rooms, everything is discussed in advance, and every detail is agreed upon by the participating parties.” https://www.nashvillescene.com/news/cover-story/article/21093551/sex-issue-a-night-at-the-mark?fbclid=IwAR2W9YxHnx0x_axrMaBrijrscUs2sWsjIWQXz6stSIcXYQTK8eaSN9mkWZE
