The short answer is, it was great and I had a lot of fun.
Even though I was nervous because I hardly knew anyone, it was well worth the effort. As it turned out, a few people I knew from the Sydney scene travelled up for the evening, which meant I instantly felt more comfortable being there. So the party turned out to be not only a place for me to meet new friends from the local area but also the chance to catch up with some I hadn't seen for a while.
Not knowing how much flesh to show on the night, I chose to wear my not too revealing naughty school girl outfit. It was the perfect choice many reasons. I've recently lost weight and my corsets are now loose on me...bummer. Secondly, I can be a little bratty sometimes, especially in a social setting like this one and as I said, I didn't want to wear anything overly revealing among a group of people I wasn't familiar with.
The local group were very welcoming and interested in chatting, which was a huge plus. I made some great new connections and have a couple of other events planned for this month as a result of invites received on the night.
The party organisers had an excellent play area set up with all the standard equipment. St.Andrews cross, spanking bench, stocks, a medical table etc. Doms and subs freely engaged in different forms of impact play and one of the highlights of the night for me was watching a demonstration on fire cupping.
Even though I had decided not to engage in play activities at this party a Dom I've known for about five years now and who I've played with numerous times asked me to assist with an electroplay demonstration. His sub doesn't like the activity and he knows I do so, according to his Dom logic, that made me the 'perfect choice of victim' for him to use. I was happy to assist because I knew he was aware of my limits and we'd engaged in the activity before.
(I may do a post on fire cupping and electroplay at some stage, if readers are interested, so just let me know).
There's a lot to be said for socialising with like-minded people, particularly in a private setting. It's that whole like-speaks-to-like thing I guess. I didn't have to worry about who might overhear the conversation about kinky activities, whether that conversation would offend anyone or if the person I was talking to would be accepting of the lifestyle.
Everyone in attendance was on the same page and happy to just be themselves.
Great post! And I for one would love to hear more about the fire cupping and the electroplay.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a good time. :-)
Me, too!
ReplyDeleteI have seen fire cupping on TV as part of Japanese healing, looks fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI am not familiar with fire cupping so I would love to learn more about that and electroplay.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you had a good time and had some friends there so that you felt more comfortable.
Sounds so great. Thanks for the follow-up!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to exploring this lifestyle openly... I'm interested in talking with others that are involved in dom/sub play, and other kinky fuckery. I'm in Ontario... Any suggestions for a place I can go to meet people to chat with? I'm going to follow this blog too, to see what I can learn. Just putting myself out there a little. I've been to Club Wicked in Toronto a few times and I loved the atmosphere and the upstairs play area... I want more. I want like-minded people to chat with.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to blogging too. Just started my own. It's not much of anything yet.
Sorry if I'm out of place writing here...
