Authenticity goes both ways

The Authenticity Code

Five principles for keeping live rooms honest, respectful and mutually enjoyable.

Show up honestly

Do not invent intimacy or promises just to hold attention.

Respect the performance

A persona can still be real work.

Tip when value is created

Conversation, humor and warmth count.

Accept boundaries immediately

Access is never ownership.

Give what you hope to receive

Honesty and generosity improve both sides of the room.

Authentic does not mean unfiltered

Performers may use stage names, characters, costumes and selective disclosure. Privacy is not dishonesty. Authenticity means the exchange feels intentional and human while each person retains control over what they share.
