This is long, so don't read it if you really don't care! Note: TMB is my husband.
Dungeon 101
TMB and I ventured up to DC’s Crucible Club for their “Dungeon 101,” a monthly joint event with Black Rose. This introduction to a public play in a BDSM setting is designed for the novice to experience several aspects of the public scene, with lots of more experienced players on hand to educate and guide.
What an evening it was! I had been looking forward to this for months, and it was a birthday present for me as well – we didn’t go on my birthday due to the big blizzard of 2010. As much as I wanted to go, I was also extremely nervous, and more so as the time to leave drew near. Frequent changes of clothing, with some mishaps like broken zippers and torn stockings led me wearing a basic black, but still sexy, dress and thigh high cable knit stockings. Under the dress I wore a red garter belt and red lace panties. (I’m glad I did!)
We made it to the club easily; our GPS and Mitzi’s directions at Gateway were clear and easy to follow. The club is located in an industrial area of DC, but still really close to the Capital building. We arrived in plenty of time for the brief lesson on club etiquette and short introductions.
Basically, the rules are common sense and good manners: don’t touch other people without permission, don’t touch their stuff without permission, and don’t interrupt their playtime unless you’ve been invited in. A few extra additions, such as keeping voices down when watching a scene, waiting until a scene is done and the players are recovered before talking, and the all important “no means no,” and I felt like I would at least know the basic rules to not get thrown out of the club.
Then the really interesting part – the Exploratorium. During this time, the club lights were on all quite bright, so we could see everything clearly. The various stations were set up, and several Black Rose members and other experienced players were around, easily identified with a black stamp on their name badge, to answer questions, demonstrate equipment, give lessons and offer us a chance to experience what the toys actually feel like on our bodies. They really did a great job of bringing us out of our shells, being so open and eager to talk, show off their toys and skills, and teach. I was so impressed with the way they shared their knowledge with us!
Our first stop was the spanking station, manned by Greg, a Black Rose board member. After some discussion about limits, I was bent over the horse and soon receiving several types of instruments across my bum and back. He had a delicious move with a crop down my spine that brought out a great shiver, and when it happened again, it was my husband holding the crop…I look forward to more of that at home! Just that alone earned him my gratitude! He had lots more tips and I enjoyed the attention thoroughly.
We went over to the flogging stations next, and got to hold and swing a number of different types. I had never wielded a flogger before, and the patience of the kind lady there (I regret I don’t remember her name, my nerves were still jangling!) with my shaky attempts was heroic. She gently and kindly encouraged me, and after a bit of clumsy flailing around, I was able to get a satisfying “whack” sound off of my husband’s back! I admit, seeing him spread out on a St. Andrews Cross brought out a slight bit of “Toppy-ness” that I never thought I would feel! I think I may have to explore some of that further!
We then tried another experienced spanker – and again I have forgotten her name, though not the spankings she gave me! She had canes as well as paddles. I thought I could handle a good spanking, but she soon had me wishing for a nice ice pack to sit on. The culprit was a lovely paddle made of a material similar to acrylic, but with another more easily forgotten name. It was several holes in it to reduce air friction, and packed quite a wallop. TMB later told me she looked to him when she brought out the paddle and he gave the “ok” nod – knowing it was similar to my least favorite paddle at home. Payback for the flogging?
TMB was eager to try the electro play area – he’s been shocked many times when doing his job, so he wanted to see what it was like to be shocked intentionally. I had my doubts, but WOW…it was fantastic! The presenter explained the mechanics of the violet wand to us and then had me hold the part that sends the charge into me. I then touched several parts of his body with varying degrees of pressure and distance between our bodies. The feeling is indescribable, but delicious. Seeing the arc of electricity jump between us was thrilling. We experimented with various metal items to change the feel of the play. Overall, one of my favorite experiences of the evening.
Wax, Wax, Wax…wow!!! Mr. Waxman, an artist if anyone is, gave me a wonderful experience I’ll never forget. I chose to have my front waxed, and while a bit nervous about taking the top of my dress down in public, by then there were already so many people in various stages of undress, I just did it. First he applied some baby oil to ease removal of the dried wax. After he covered the area with the oil, he started to gently pour several types of wax on my stomach and breasts, all the while asking how I was doing and if I was enjoying myself. He started with the lowest heat melting wax, moving up to the hotter temps. All of it felt amazing. The warmth spread through my body and I didn’t even care that I was lying topless on a table in a crowded room with lots of people watching – I was enjoying myself so much. When the wax was dried, he removed it gently with a few different instruments and a type of loofah glove.
While I was having the wax done, my husband was making conversation with another couple, and we chatted for a while after I was cleaned up. It was nice to meet other people, after all, that was half the reason we wanted to experience public play – to make new friends.
By this time the “Exploratorium” was over and the “open play” d began. The lights were turned down a bit, music was turned on, and there were more people around. As my nervousness had settled a bit, I started to notice more about the people around me – and was surprised at the variety of clothing, and lack of, there was. I saw lots of fun outfits, sexy and outrageous, as well as jeans and t-shirts. There were even a few people in suits, both business variety the birthday variety.
Next, TMB and I ventured upstairs to the Annex. There were several more spanking benches, a swing, beams to be tied to, a seating area, and more. After a bit of looking, we started to use one of the spanking benches. I was kneeling comfortably on a padded surface, and also had a padded area to rest my head and arms. TMB lifted the bottom of my dress up, exposing my red garter and panties (I’m so glad I put the spanxx I was considering back in the drawer!), and started out slowly, working on me with various paddles and floggers we had brought from home - soon I was squirming and making noise, naturally. (When we were done he let me know there was an appreciative audience to my antics) He also tied me to the bench with some rope as well.
It was a great experience – being in an area with lots of other people, yet being in our own little world as we played together.
One of the many great aspects of the space is the amount of small seating areas, perfect for aftercare. Lots of people were seated or lying down, drinking water, recovering from their experiences. I relaxed for a bit while TMB talked to me about his feelings while we played, and then I was ready to see some more.
The rest of the night we spend watching various types of play – flogging and suspension were going on in a few places and it was amazing to see who others play together. I had a nice cup of herbal tea, some water and relaxed. We enjoyed the sights and chatted with a few more people. By then it was 1 a.m. and we decided to head home. The night was incredible, and I can’t thank the Black Rose and Crucible enough for offering this great experience for us to be introduced to the kinky community.
