Join Us

Welcome! We're glad you are interested in joining MAFIA! 

Fisting is a deeply trust-based form of play, and we treat membership in MAFIA with the same mindset. We want to ensure all members feel safe, respected, and comfortable, which is why we use a referral and approval system for new applicants.

Membership in MAFIA is not required to attend our parties; however, membership has privileges—including early registration and pricing for events, as well as members-only events throughout the year.

Requirements for Membership

To apply, you must:

  • Identify as male
  • Be 21 years of age or older
  • Demonstrate an active interest and proficiency in Fisting/Handballing

Although MAFIA membership is limited to self-identified men, we do not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, HIV status, physical ability, partnership or marital status, or any other protected category.

Sponsorship & Application Process

Each applicant must provide the names of two current MAFIA members in good standing who can personally vouch for you as a safe, reliable play partner and someone who would contribute positively to the club.

Once you submit your application:

  • The Membership Secretary will present your name at the next MAFIA Board of Directors meeting for consideration as a provisional member.
  • During this provisional period, the Board will collect any feedback from members.
  • At the following Board meeting, the membership vote will take place. If approved, you’ll be granted full membership.

You’ll be notified by email of the Board’s decision.

Privacy & Conduct

MAFIA maintains strict confidentiality. Our membership list is private and will never be shared with non-members.

All members are expected to follow the club’s By-Laws and House Rules, including our policies on consent, safety, and mutual respect. Sanctions for violations are outlined in the By-Laws.
