During the Pagan festival season - which typically begins around Beltane and ends after the harvest -- there are a lot of opportunities to meet new people. Some of those people are folks we form lasting bonds and friendships with. Others... not so much. Let's face it, many modern Pagan paths are rooted in fertility religions, so most Pagans are pretty open about sexuality. Because of that openness, it does occasionally come to pass that we meet someone at an event (or elsewhere) that we find ourselves attracted to.
However, being part of a fertility religion does not give us license to practice irresponsible behavior. Here are a few things to keep in mind when interacting with potential hookup partners: Pagan Sexual Etiquette

funny how every time that article gets brought up it really boils down to, be a responsible, respectful adult.
I know that I a good many people when i say this, but it is true. Their are so many pagans that use the fact it is a fertility religion to go out whoring around. I am not saying save it for when you get married or not to have many sexual partners in your life time, but for Goddess sake have some dignity. I am not trying to insult any one or any group and I think sex is part of life, but do not use paganism as an excuse to to sleep with any and every one. I have met many people (both Men and Woman) that do this and I think it is insulting to do so. Sorry if I ruined your day, but many people think it and some one has to have the nerve to say it.
I’d like to add:
And pagans who don’t want to engage in sex at festivals aren’t necessarily prudes and shouldn’t be treated that way. Not everyone who comes out to a festival is polyamorous, bisexual, or swings.
Respect the boundaries of folks’ relationships, and don’t automatically think we’re prudes because we’re straight, or in a relationship that only involves being romantic with one partner.
Be who you are. You cant love everyone, so you might not want to have sex with just any old who.
