Some details of my nite taken from my Livejournal...
As soon as I get there, Lyndsay, director of my drag troupe, hugs me, as the deer-in-the-headlights look I had on my face, which lasted all nite, was particularly noticeable at first...and her friend who brought all the equipment (ie: all sorts of paddles, whips, clamps, benches, x-frames, etc) is a Dom and wanted the whole nite to get me tied to the X-frame so he could spank me...and I kept teasing him all nite just to fuck with him...being that I'm more of a switch than I realized (wow...lots of realizations last nite...), it was fun fucking with this guy who thinks he's this big bad Dom who has the nerve to think he's going to just up and tie me to something and spank me...
Anyhoo, things started off quite tame...I wasn't the only one scared to move...after seeing Lynds tied up and spanked a bit, I was intrigued...not so much for myself, but just to see what turned people on...and as I was talking to some of my friend Sarah's friends, I began chatting with this incredibly attractive man named Craig. Craig had a collar/leash around his neck, and these eyes that could probably see into your soul. We had a really long, intense conversation about relationships, honesty, our "fetishes", coming to terms with having fetishes, and everything in between. Then, I looked up to see Lynds paddling someone, and a look of longing came over Craig's face. So I said, "Want me to see if she'll do that to you?" He nodded and I grabbed his leash, and led him over to her. Somehow, the Dom guy managed to get Craig bound to the x-frame and handed me the paddle. Well, after the conversation we'd just had, and me being incredibly curious, I asked if he was ok with me beating his ass. He said yes...and I proceeded to put on quite a show!!! I always checked with him before I tried a new toy...but we tried all sorts of paddles, wooden and leather, riding crops, all sorts of crazy shit. In the middle of it, the Dom guy comes up and whispers in my ear, "You're not a sub..." and I told him, "I never said I was strictly a sub..." I think I stood and beat Craig's ass for about a half an hour. I kept checking with him every few minutes to make sure he was ok...and he was more than ok...which was pretty awesome...when he was done, and ready to get down, I untied him, and we hugged for a while...he kept thanking me...it was pretty flattering and humbling to know that doing something as simple as that can make someone's whole day...he said he's a new man, thanks to me...and that I had decent technique for never having done that before (I told him it was all that tennis in high school--helped my backhand shot!!!) and he really wanted to return the favor...and honestly, I would have been ok with that...we really "bonded" even before I beat his ass...and he genuinely wanted to make me feel the same high he felt...but I wasn't ready to do anything like that in a crowd...if it had been in the back room or something more private...maybe...but he knows what I'm into and thinks it's cool (he's giving me a pedicure/massage tonite to make up for last nite)...which made me immensely comfortable last nite...and helped me to get over some things...regardless, I made a friend, and he's a person I see myself being very good friends with...whoo!!! Anyhoo, I watched a lot of people get spanked, whipped, paddled, etc...and the Dom guy kept getting on me to let him put me on the X-frame...so I finally was like, "Look, I'm not afraid of you, and I like being tied up...but I don't like being hit...especially by a man...this is my first time at one of these things...maybe at a future event, I'll let you...but not tonite..." And he hugged me and then I gave him a back massage...and we watched Lynds get spanked again...but that was after the poor thing kept trying so hard to make me comfortable...she saw the look on my face the whole time...and it wasn't that I was uncomfortable in my surroundings...I just didn't want to be tied to the x-frame in front of everyone...regardless, she kept trying to help me find something to do that I would be comfortable with...and I kept turning her down...and she asked, "So what DO you want??" I couldn't tell her...even in that setting...she's like my big sister/lesbian mentor...and even though logically I know she'd be totally fine with it, I can't bring myself to say it yet...and even if I did tell her, I wasn't ready to be that vulnerable in a public setting...but the attempts being made to help make me comfortable were certainly appreciated...
I had an amazing time...I learned a lot--learned about some new fetishes, outfits, learned some amazing knots (look out when you get home, baby girl...mwahahahahaha!!!), met some amazing people, bonded with my friend Fabi, and I'm definitely going with Craig tomorrow to the Outer Skin, a fetish store in Homestead, tomorrow...and I'm SO EXCITED!!!!!!!! Maybe I can pick some toys out for when my beautiful wife returns...mmm...spicy girlfriend...we have to go to one of these shindigs together...so much fun...and the crowd there!!! What an array of humanity!!! There were your stereotypical homos, senior citizen trannies, goth folk, punk folk, hippies, suits, leather folk, doms, subs, you name it, they were represented...oh man...it was amazing...I'll definitely be at the next one...no question...
So not a bad nite all around for this lil switch!!! I'm not going to lie, I was petrified at first...but I had an amazing time...And now, I am going to revel in the events of last evening, and some Harry Potter...mmm...wow...and Craig is on his way to hang out...
...wow.
That's my story!!! I wasn't ready to let anyone tickle me last nite...but next time, who knows...if you're in Pittsburgh on August 20th (the date of the next one), and you go to the party, and tell me you're from the site, maybe we can hang out...who knows??? What an AWESOME NITE!!!!!
