That was interesting

Well, my little expedition to my first play party was a success.

Finding the place was a bit tricky. Firstly because I mis-remembered the directions they provided and went about a kilometer in the wrong direction before I had enough sense to pull out the map I bought with me. Once I found the right street, I headed down it to discover that I was still kind of lost. Arriving at the right spot there wasn't anything but a drive way.

At that point I spotted some people getting out of a car who were obviously in the life so I followed them. It turned out the venue was tucked away in the back of a commercial complex. I'm not sure if I would have found it if it weren't for the people I followed.

There was a reception area where I gave my invitation number and had to sign a waiver. Left my equipment bag there as well.

The venue itself is a photography studio. A large one but still smaller that I expected. The main floor was primarily taken up with the shooting space which comprised about two thirds of the area and the rest was taken up by the kitchen, bathroom and change room with seats along one wall.

There was an upper level, a balcony above the kitchen. I spent a lot of time here as it had a good view of the main floor and I love watching.

There were seven stations set up; a couple of what I call 'A-frames', a St. Andrews Cross and the rest were spanking benches of one type or another.

My first sight on entering was a lovely set of tits that one very obvious sub had on display. I thought that a good omen.

When I arrived there were about twenty people there, some dressed pretty vanilla, some, like the aforementioned sub already for play. I got a cola then wandered around, checking the place out. I finished my recon upstairs.

It turns out there were two more stations upstairs. I found out why later.

More people arrived and then the first scene started at one of the 'A-frames'. This was an obvious couple; her dressed in a very sexy lingerie ensemble, him in simple black. He chained her wrists to the frame and started to smack her with various floggers. His skill was good, he varied his work in strength, rhythm and area, interspersed with caresses of her intimate areas. She was flying by the time he was done about forty minutes later. They shared a very sweet rapport.

That got the ball rolling and the other stations began to fill up. Among the more memorable scenes was a couple of dommes playing with a zaftig young woman in a school girl's uniform. There was another couple who I could tell were close. He led her around on a leash all night. She wore an outfit that was could be ripped and it was very nicely ripped by the time they were done.

One of the doms was in demand for his skill with whips and floggers. I saw him play with several subs of both sexes. I watched his scenes for pointers. Another had a huge selection of rattan canes that he used very well. The young lady he used them on was grinning in a drunken manner when he finally let her down.

It turned out that the upstairs stations were for more extreme scenes. I didn't pay close attention, not my cup of tea. Of the scenes I caught glimpses of there was one dom performing cock torture on his sub and a woman doing something with needles to a femme.

I circulated a fair bit, talked to a few people. One of the Dungeon Monitors really caught my eye. Rather tall with raven hair, she had on a rather dishabille school girls outfit that didn't quite cross the line to outright slutty. Delicious.

I didn't do any playing. I didn't get any offers and didn't know anyone well enough to offer myself.

I left a little before one. I wanted to stay but I'd had a very long day so had to leave.

Still it was a most interesting evening. I'll be going again next month.

Thanks mima. It really was.

That DM I mentioned is really caught in my mind. I hope I meet her again. I suspect she'd be delicious to play with.

Raven hair and able to come close but not quite to slutty? I can see why she is so memorable. :)

Good on ya Rob!

Glad you had a good time. A few things like this are hosted in my area (well, about an hour and a half away) but I'd be way to nervous to go on my own.

Sounds like it was fun though, even just watching.

Sounds like a good evening, and teh best way to start at a new club is to watch, keep going back, and get to know people. Glad it was a positive experience.

Thank you, sarah, eden.

I'm still tripping on that Dungeon Monitor. *grin*

Very glad you enjoyed yourself and took the plunge. The first steps on any journey are often the hardest.
