ORIGINAL: julietsierra … I've gone to munches, parties and yes, even clubs. … I had a wonderful time. Was it the voyeuristic intent? Yes. Was it the thrill of exhibitionism? Yes. It was all those things. It was pushing my own personal boundaries of what was "right" and "proper" and "expected of a woman of my age, station (mom-hood) and all that. But it never ever surplanted the thrill and ecstacy of what I could do with someone in private - not ever. … But the clubs and all are points of socializing for us - where my Master can indulge his voyeuristic side (I reap the benefits of THAT!!) and I can be out with him without having to pretend we're vanilla. I can call him Sir without whispering or trying to remember to use his given name. And mostly, they're places where we can practice our most loved activity beyond things sexual. We can participate in a higher protocol than we would if we're out at Red Lobster. And high protocol is something that is always a part of our lives, so it's a real pleasure to let down our hair so to speak, and just "be." … Bolding and italics are mine; b quote:
ORIGINAL: onestandingstill …The public play helped me see things I'd not considered, understand things I'd read about were different to me when I saw them, and is a valuable tool in learning about the aspects of the energy exchange you couldn't get playing alone. In addition to that I live in an apartment. There's always been huge sound constraints at home as spanking is so loud all my neighbors here the whacks. I love being able to go to the dungeon and not have to concern myself with noise issues. I also think it's a wonderful safety net when you're just beginning to play with someone. For example I would not do full bondage with someone in private I did not fully trust with my life, but in the clubs the safety net of others let me feel like I indeed would be able to have this experience with someone I felt was trustworthy without laying my life on the line if I was mistaken. … You don't have to get it IMO, for it to be good for me. Bolding and italics are mine; b I, too, see clubs and private parties as a sort of public service or get-together by people of like minds. WIITWD is not so well-embraced by the general public, so it’s a relief, if nothing else, to have a place to let our hair down; learn more about all things BDSM, more about ourselves; play in a safe environment where we will not affront the delicate sensibilities of those who do not share our predilections. And for me, while sometimes ‘scene’ equates to something more scripted (and is that a ‘bad thing’?), it also simply means ‘play’ to me. It can be totally unscripted, an activity purely for the pleasure of my partner and me and it doesn’t matter one hoot if anybody else watches. Who ‘sees’ them anyway? LOL Still, it’s nice to play where sound is not an issue, the ceilings are high and there is room to swing a flogger or whip without rearranging a whole room. Also…I really like crosses and haven’t found one that fits with my décor. Just my thoughts…good topic! beverly
