Show me your dungeon

[WickedEve]

Show me a photo of your playroom or play area or just describe it. Tell me what sort of things you have in it or would like to have.

My dominant male creature and I plan to be living together this year. We've found the house we want. It has great potential for a bdsm playroom -- something private and away from the kids.

At the moment, all he has at his place is a "secret room." It's basically a closet, with door, at the end of the walk-in closet. That's were he keeps all the toys. We have to pull out the bondage chair (put it back together) and roll out the rack of floggers when we want to play.

The new place has a large building behind the house that could, with some money, be converted into our own private adult haven.

Here's a doodle he did:

http://eveshabit.com/floorplan.jpg

It's big enough for a workshop area, which will be separated with a wall. We want to put a jacuzzi in. He said we could install the jacuzzi on a platform to make the plumbing easier. Notice that he has the toilet and sink there in the open with the jacuzzi. No privacy. Kind of kinky, huh? We've discussed fun possibilities.

The other thing in the drawing is a power wench -- for me. Umm... still thinking about that. There willl be room for a TV, bed, hopefully a wet bar. Ugh, lots of money to start putting back. But it would be our own bdsm paradise.

Once again, show me a photo of your playroom or play area or just describe it. Tell me what sort of things you have in it or would like to have.

Can't say we have a specific playroom as we live 24/7 and when anything happens it can be almost anywhere. I was just tidying up for an appointment in the home tomorrow and came across rope, crops, handcuffs and blindfold in the living and dining room which I am so used to seeing I don't think about usually. Guess our bedroom is the closest thing to dungeon like as that is where most of our things are, restraints always on the bed, canes in the corner, huge crate of ropes, large set of drawers with a variety of things in from whips to clamps; scalpels' needles, and then another cupboard also with some things in...but as we are saving it till last to fully renovate it still has a bare concrete floor and walls needing major work (oh and a couple of hanging webs that are way too high for me to reach even on a ladder)... so it does have a sort of dungeon appearance I guess. Our plans for the eventual layout keep changing but hopefully will include a deep bath, toilet and a new basin or the one already there.

Do the two of you live alone? Since there are kids involved that's why we want a private space, besides the bedroom.

My son lives with us which means we have to think first even though he is aware of our lifestyle. I am sure he hears things, and I know he sees much of our equipment, especially when I sometimes ask him to get something from our room and then remember something had been left out or we had left things how we finished...he doesn't say anything usually and we try and respect him by keeping it to ourselves, but truthfully, 24/7 is not about getting flogged all day so it isn't hard to live as we do without being blatant or obvious.

Well, I hope it's not about all day floggings. lol We are boring most of the time, but it would be very cool to have a playroom for when we want it. There will be a teen and two girls under age eleven in the house.
You know, honestly, I know much less about all this (bdsm) than many of you here. Is having a bdsm-themed playroom absolutely silly or do any of you do that? Many of my posts on this forum don't usually get responses. I hope I'm not talking about ridiculous things that really have nothing to do with bdsm in the first place. My god, I may actually be talking about knitting because I'm so terribly confused.

LOL, don;t worry about it...what matters is that what you do makes you happy...there is no right way, just 'right for you' ways. I think it would be cool to have a playroom. When we bought this house, part of the attraction was the size of our bedroom and the possibility to wield the bullwhip in it more easily...but once you get furniture, and find you prefer the bed somewhere it doesn't work well for the whip, things have to change. We have a wall to get rid of and some plumbing to do when we renovate and it will be a bedroom/playroom. If my son moves out at some stage, we might then have a particular room where things can be left in place, our cage fit, etc. Dreams!!

No playroom or anything because I live in a tiny one-bedroom apartment at the moment. But I do have plans one day for when I'm able to buy or build a house of my own.

Right now, I usually use my bedroom. The walls are incredibly thin in this place, and Kitty's apartment is the one that's next to my bedroom, so she'd understand the noises she heard (if she weren't over here already!). Occasionally, I play in the living room, but I try to make sure my other neighbor's not around.

I always thought the separate building thing could be great if you have kids, but I've heard of a couple of stories where the parents were having some sort of party, and the cops were called and it made the news. And, of course, make something off limits and kids might seek it out. Just food for thought - I haven't considered the separate building idea on an indepth level.

He and I live separately right now, so it's pretty easy. The play stuff is at his house. Even so, people do come over. I'm actually more likely to be embarassed by his messy place than bdsm toys! He keeps his stuff in a box in his closet. When it's done, it goes back in the closet. At this point, my sense is that if we moved in together, the stuff would stay in a box in our bedroom closet, probably locked or placed up high, etc. We don't have endless toys, so it's not hard to pack 'em up. Other than that, locks on the door and a little music to muffle any noises. Ball gags too.

 

[EmpressFi]

Usually we play in our bedroom, but currently, because we're in the process of selling the house, all of our toys are in a drawer

Right now we're closet people too. The bondage chair has been used only twice. Some toys just aren't worth the hassle. To tell the truth, I don't like the bondage chair.

Yes, lovely playroom, which will give me many ideas for the one I want to have some day. Seriously, I spend a lot of time inside my head, too. Fun place, no cleaning up afterwards, no kids walking into my head and asking for a snack.

 

[sexycaz22]

And me three, all the playroom I need is in my mind....at the moment!

All the toys etc are SQUASHED into two small boxes!! I do really need to buy a big box for the growing collection of toys. lol I do have a vanilla friend staying over from Monday to Thursday every week for her college, but I am extermely lucky because she knows about my kinky lifestyle, so if I have left a few toys i.e. a flogger or a bdsm book etc, she won't bat a eyelid, and just ignore them like they are a part of the furniture lol. Actually, I have a pinwheel out on the coffee table at the moment!

I play with my boys (usually) in the living room, since the bedroom is a bit too messy at the moment! *laughs* As for the neighbours, well, if they have heard noises, they don't mention it! *grins*

Right now we don't really have much staff, so it sits in a business like bag next to our bed (two bags: his toys and my toys ... LOL). In his bag there is: rope, cuffs & collar, blind fold, gag, little flogger, different things that can be used as clamps.
In my bag there is: glass dildoes, rope flogger, posture collar, MY rope, butterfly clamps. The clothes hanging chair is perfect for being tied to and the rest of the "toys" are usually pervertibles like ice cubes, ice packs and so on.

When the kids are out of the house, we sometimes use another room to play, where he can hang my hands high above my head or tie me to a low chair that works wonder as a spanking bench.

And when we can get babysitting and he feels like being more creative, we go to the S&M hotel where all the rooms are nicely equipped dungeons ...

Eve, you're fine. The crossposts where you talk poetry confuse the locals, but you're otherwise clear.

In my case, we are also 24/7, so things happen whenever and wherever. This is sharply curtailed by whether or not the kids are home, of course. The usual spaces are the bedroom and the garage. Both have locks on the doors. The bedroom is the most common, and that is where the toys are. Some locked away, some just hidden.

The garage is where I do heavy tying, suspension, etc. My squat rack doubles as a rack and suspension hardpoint, and my flat bench for lifting doubles as a spanking bench, etc.

It will be many years before we are kidless, so I'm not even sweating such things. The bedroom door stays locked, and the garage is locked when we play in it.

I'd love to have a real physical dungeon. It's the one addition I've made to my "dream house / private island" since high school!

Thanks, Homburg.
I was basically looking for some ideas for an adult playroom, since I may end up with the space for it.

Oh, I forgot about that. I must stop opening so many windows. Well, I hope someone on the forum decided to go read some poems. lol

Our "bondage chair" is a chair I've been tied to.

One of the reasons I really like parties is that you can clear your head of anything going on at home, and not have to worry about being too loud or whatever. Our local parties are now being held at a private home with the craziest tricked out basement dungeon I've ever scene. I mean, I spent about ten minutes slack-jawed over it. But, alas, Mister Man isn't into flogging in public. And then again, parties bring with it there own set of risks - the cops showed up at the last party because a neighbor complained some people were having sex in their car. Now, that makes no sense whatsoever, given that there were plenty of private play spaces in the house, and that's completely against the rules of the group, etc., but shit happens, right? The cops were quite nice, but what if they hadn't been so nice? I suspect the neighbor was pissed off about the amount of cars there weekend after weekend (apparently a number of local groups use her place, in addition to her own parties), and called the cops and maybe even embellished things. Or not. Either way, I can understand being annoyed by all of the cars on the street, I guess.

Anyway, sorry for tangent. Just something to think about if you ever have a private dungeon and have sizeable parties there. If you're in a very residential neighborhood, it can be a challenge.

Here is mine!

Ha!

 

[SirQittus]

We're 24/7 and no kids (her two have reached adulthood), and are paying off the mortgage on a free-standing suburban house. Perfect, right? Well, except for neighbors that can see every inch of lawn and through any uncovered window (we're fixing that with shrubbery), and my dad that visits every several months. Our guest room is also the dungeon, and we must sanitize it prior to every visit of his, meaning no overtly BDSMish permanent modifications. The basement is small but has potential, but again can't easily be locked against helpful fathers. Fortunately we're getting a mobile version of a St Andrews cross and soon I'll be putting some hooks in the ceiling near the windows that will hold plants that weigh up to 500lbs.

As far as your building there, the corner across from the jacuzzi looks perfect for a St Andrews cross. I'd also suggest multiple hardpoints in the overhead that'll take both your weights easily.

LMAO!

I once had a bunch of IM windows going and accidentally dropped some of the most explict D/s sex on a female friend. She was also also the friend of a guy I played with online, that didn't want me to be IM-ing like that with anyone else.



Final result was, he got royally pissed. Too damn bad. I'm married not owned by an online twink.

I got really embarrassed. Doh!

She got interested in D/s SRP with me. LMAO!

That was then. I no longer IM with anyone much. I'm soooo over it.

 

[twiggy_the_spider]

Wow, I'd love my own play space but right now sharing a flat with two other students its not possible (although we do have an attic with all these very sturdy beams so maybe when they're away. Or after I graduate I could look for some kink aware flatmates I guess..) Luckily I have quite a big bedroom so most play I do can take place here, the one thing I'd love would be a gigantic bath but I guess you cant have it all. lol, ive had so many drunken conversations about the ideal playroom, if it was up to me and one of my closest friends we would live in a mansion with themed suites im sure of it.

As for kids finding out personally I think we can worry too much about what kids find out, at a young age I would be concerned about them seeing things they wont understand but once they reach their teens I feel most things could be explained. When I was about 12 or 13 I found a box of my mum and dads stuff that had books (joy of sex and nancy friday's my secret garden if that doenst age them/me too accurately.) and a few toys and things, it didnt really bother me or weird me out. Although the other day I went into my dads bedside drawer to get an indigestion tablet and found a vibrator, which was a little surprising but hey, good on my parents for having a sex life after 30 years married, right.? anyway, i've went off at a super tangent. sorry.

 

[Netzach]

Sometimes if I really want to focus, it helps me NOT to be in my house. I really like events and parties for this. Sometimes I'll get a room or rent a pro space.

When we buy or even move into something bigger, I think we'll have a room to play in. If I get a studio off site, I can see having him come visit there and setting up some scenes there if it's discreet enough.

I find my home stuff too distracting sometimes.

I'm okay with my kid knowing I have sex, but I prefer to keep bdsm and any other details private. First and foremost, I just believe the adults should have their private space. Second, most kids don't want to know if their mommy likes getting her ass beat.

 

[FurryFury]

I think kids need to know about various flavors as soon as they are old enough to ask questions about it. If I had only known, I'd be in such a different place now.

Don't get me wrong. I feel blessed.

I just think if I'd known, I could be even more or differently blessed.
