The Downside

The broken down bus under the railway bridge was the chief cause of consternation. The oncoming traffic on the wrong side of the road did give a dash of excitement, mind.

The Upside

An idea of gleaming simplicity - a back-to-basics S&M event. No theme, just a playspace with a dash of furniture and conducive company in whatever they felt (un?)comfortable in.

Simplicicty is the chief virtue of all the best plans. (And brevity the chief virtue of this review?) I turned up, chatted to friends old and new, got beaten goggle-eyed and went home beaming.

I was a good time, had by all . . .

The night brought a pair of first-timers; hopefully they felt welcomed by the friendly, relaxed gaggle of older hands. I can't imagine as warm and personal introduction at a club with throbbing dance rhythms blaring out. One recieved his first beating at a very experienced pair of hands, and was literally dancing with joy afterwards.

The Verdict

Much as I applaud a well turned out theme night this made a very pleasant change; no elaborate preparation (for us dowdy males, anyhow), just a relaxed evening of casual abuse.

The Future

I look forward to more of these straight S&M nights (surely an oxymoron?) I'll also go to themed events and enjoy them even more for the contrast.
