seattle & the wet spot - 7/7/2007 3:18:39 PM

Status: offline 		hi there,

i'm in seattle & have gone to the
wet spot one time, on an evening
when non-members are allowed
to visit & learn.

since that time i have wanted to
join, but i'm not sure how useful
it would be to me as a single sub.
also, i have ideas about how i'd
like to dress (or undress) but if
i'm in a crowd--especially a crowd
of couples & polys--would that
be rude?

i have a chain halter/collar com-
bination i made myself. it's quite
stunning. i'd like to wear this--
which exposes the breasts entire-
ly--with some harem pants that
are see-thru.

i know bdsm isn't about sex per
se, but i still wonder if others who
see a single woman walking around
with her 'charms' exposed would be
unwelcome.

i have written twice to the 'info' email
address at the wet spot & have not
received a reply. i really don't under-
stand *that*!

so, is anyone here from seattle, & if
so, do you go to the wet spot & if
so, do you know the answers to my
questions?

thank you.

the one time I visited the wet spot, it was on one of "the grind" nites.  I went with Daddy and we attended the orientation and became members, then hung around for the event.

I'd have to say, the atmosphere and energy was really great.  we felt totally at home and would definitely go back given the opportunity.  there were all "kinds" there, including a man walking around naked, so I'd say as far as the grind goes, anything goes. 

hope that helps.

edited to add:  there were also plenty of singles there too, not to mention a few couples having sex in the "private" rooms in the back.

I wear a short skirt and revealing top and if me and Master play I am completely nude and there are alot of others that are nude or close to it. Its a pretty fun atmosphere, whether you want to play or just sit and watch. I have really enjoyed the times that I have went. People are pretty respectful as far as I have noticed.

Status: offline 		thank you all for your comments. i
had thought a 'grind' night might be
a good one, since there are many
more people there than usual. on
that one night i went, there were
naked women & one couple scening,
but they were all attached to some-
one. the only single man of the night
came in just before i left, & he was
dressed & only interested in my
feet, sigh...

like i said originally, i have inquired
twice about this issue by emailing
the infobot at the wet spot, but have
not received a reply. i wondered,
to be honest, if i'd said something
wrong & that was why no one
wrote me back.

i'm glad to read all of your experiences.
thanks for sharing them with me.

Status: offline 		so I am going to be one of the people who is going to post a negative about the place - but with a qualifier.

I came to Seattle from the Bay Area and the dungeons there were a bit different than the WS is.  That isn't a slam, it is just a fact.

I could and did go to the dungeons there alone all the time with ZERO issues.  I have been to the WS a number of times now in the last four years that i have lived here.  I have never gone alone and each and every time I have been there, I was pretty glad I was not alone frankly.

I had no "serious" issues - just a few people feeling it was perfectly fine to cross into my personal space and limits on my person without bothering to even ask (I was kissed once, had my ass slapped once, had it pinched once as well, had someone actually reach for my boob - which was marked - I stopped her rather quickly - that sort of thing).  

The issues that i have had, have NOT been with men, they seem to be pretty well mannered and know the boundaries with women who are not theirs.  The issues have come with women.  As I was there with Dominant men each time this occurred, that put them in the position of either looking like an asshole for stepping up and telling the women who did this they were out of line - or looking like a bit of a pussy because I dealt with it so they did not look like assholes.  Niether of which they liked being put in, you know?  Niether of which I liked being put in either.  So it was truly a lose-lose sort of situation each time.

Fact is within the scene in any place I have gone to, I have had more issues with other women than I have ever had with men and I tend to think what I just mentioned is the reason.  Women get away with it more often than men simply because if a man had done any of those things to me, the men I was with would have stepped up as well as my stepping up and setting them straight and most likely a few men I did not know would have as well - it simply is not tolerated.  But make it a woman that does it and you are not so assured of having that occur.  Women know that - and take advantage of that.

So the only thing i would tell you is that IF you choose to go alone, be aware and be prepared to speak up and let others know they have crossed your lines if they do so is all.

BTW, I DO believe that if I had taken my complaints to the DM's or those in charge, they would have at minimum spoken to the women who did what they did, I chose not to do that at the time.  However, should it ever occur again, I will most definitely do so.

Status: offline 		thank you for an honest & thoughtful
reply, sallee. i know there have been
certain complaints about the wet spot
over the years, but those were about
sanitation, as i understand.

it amazes me that anyone would enter
your space, given the iron-clad standards
all adhere to voluntarily. but then, some-
one always PMs me in chat without
asking first. so it goes.

some people just think the rules don't
apply to them, you know?

maybe we could meet there one night?
i actually have no car, so it's hard for
me to get there or back, but not impos-
sible. i'm screwing up my courage to go
there again, dressed as i wish to dress.

btw, how were you dressed when you
went?

Status: offline 		yes, the night i went i entered through
the front door, which was like a booth,
separating the entrance from the view
behind the wall. i believe there is a sign
there that says something to the effect
that clothing is optional beyond that
point.

so unless a person was naked or in some
costume under a trench coat, s/he did go
to the bathrooms where they could change
out of street clothes.

i have been trying to make friends in the
local community. so far my efforts have
failed. 90 percent of replies to my queries
were from men who wanted to fuck me
after escorting me to the wet spot. they
also, for the most part, were voyeurs &
not interested in the lifestyle, but only in
getting a free peep show at a sex club.

i will be responsible for getting myself
there when i finally talk myself into trying
it again. i think there is a big difference
between who's there on different nights,
as we all seem to have some very spec-
ific preferences & don't care for others.

the next step for me is to get my clothes
out of the box under my bed & try them
on to see if i feel comfortable enough to
wear them in a group setting.

again, i appreciate all your thoughtful
responses to my questions.

Status: offline 		cleanliness is a huge concern & lack of
same is a complaint i heard spread around
people in the community here. most of
those who complained, however, were
part of another club so i wonder how
impartial they are.

that other club was cramped & small,
& even more dark & dingy than the
wet spot is.

i do agree with you about the ambience
at the wet spot. they leave the lights down
quite a bit & turn off lights in sections of
the club that are not being used, which is
find for conserving energy. with the lights
up it's kinda worse. they are glarey &
all that is hidden in the dark is exposed to
the light.

i wouldn't play there. i'm not interested in
play at all. i would like to be noticed so it's
well-known that i'm single & looking. i
don't know where else i could go in seattle
to do that.

thanks, angelic.

Status: offline 		Try volunteering at the WetSpot - it will connect you with folks at the place, which will in turn get you connected to those that go to the WS.  i have found volunteering to be one of the BEST ways to get yourself known and to get to know others.  Besides it gives you something to talk about when you do meet someone new.

look into volunteering.

i know that the young woman who
invited me to be her guest the one
night i went was a volunteer. her
work helped subsidize her dues.

Status: offline 		btw, i posted that reply when i was
logged in under my preferred i.d.
when i signed up for this service in
2005, i did so under the treat me
like a dog handle. i soon found that
i attracted the kind of man who
thinks dogs should be beaten. not
my intent.

so i set up this second i.d. with an
intent to use it, but i have to figure
out how to transfer all my stuff
from the dog name. for the most
part, i think it can't be done.

but i am both seattleslavegirl &
treatemelikeadog. hope that
eliminates any confusion.

Status: offline 		The "other" place you mentioned - isn't as dark - it is more compact and therefore a bit more cluttered.  It also is a whole lot more eccletic.
