Not Much Of A Slave

I couple of weeks ago I was at a BDSM event, just hanging out with friends, watching people play and enjoying conversations.

I went to the bar to grab another beer and a woman dressed in latex approached me.

At first I was a bit surprised. It’s rare that someone will just start talking to me out of nowhere. It’s possible that this is because I clearly have the strength of ten men and always look so very intimidating.

The conversation went a little like this:

Her-Someone told me you were an excellent slave.

Me-Really? I’m not sure who would have told you that since I’ve never been owned by anyone, but..ok.

Her- Be a good slave and buy me a drink, maybe later I’ll let you worship my feet.

Me- Well, you know, I’m not submissive to just anyone.

Her- I don’t let just anyone worship me.

Me- You’re kind to offer but I’m afraid I’ll need to pass.

Her- You’re not much of a slave are you?

Me- I’m not a slave at all for someone who doesn’t deserve it.

Instead of sounding coy I sounded harsh. It came out meaner than I meant but I was OK with that. I stood there for a minute, waited for my beer and joined my friends.   

I realized that, had she asked me a year ago, I would have bought her that drink, she probably would have ignored me for the rest of the night anyway unless she needed another drink. I wished she had asked differently, maybe I would have made a new friend out of it.

I told my story to another submissive guy at the party and he asked if I could point her out to him. I did and he ran off to go ask if she needed a drink. She gave him her oder and sure enough she ignored him for the rest of the night.

Photos Of Me At Folsom Street East

I met up with a friend and headed to Folsom Street East today. I felt guilty about missing yet another Leather Pride Night, so I thought I’d support the cause by heading out in the rain.

Even though I usually only stay for about an hour, it’s nice to see people open about their kink in the daytime.

This was also the first year I didn’t get my ass grabbed by some guy walking behind me. It may be because it’s also the first year I didn’t wear leather pants.

So…if you missed it, here’s a few photos:

Here I am in front of the stage. Pretty decent performances, as you can see it wasn’t super crowded at this point.

Here I am in front of the TES booth. Ohhh look. A flyer for something related to sex!! Finders keepers!

And this is me…well…I think it’s pretty obvious but if you need it spelled out, I’m just about to leave but I’ve decided to admire some of the many kinky yet out of my budget items for sale.

Ahh memories.

I’ve Been Asked To Talk

Yeah, as if I don’t express myself enough right? A blog, a podcast and now I’ve been asked to take part in a discussion.

Don’t worry, I won’t be yapping alone. A few other people have been asked to be in the TES discussion on June 23rd as well.

Here’s the description: The 30-40 Wasteland: “The BDSM community doesn’t lack for members of the older set. TNG too thrives. But what happened to our members between 30 and 40 (give/take a couple of years)? Is there a reason that this population is scarce and what can we do to bring them out more? Join us for a discussion and hopefully suggestions for a solution.”

Yikes, that’s a big topic. The problem is that I could blabber on and on about why this is true and still not give you the reason why.

I really have no clue. I know that I only go to a few events these days. Certainly fewer than I used to. Is it because I only see the same people over and over and while I like most of them, I’m looking to meet new people? Is it because most of the women into BDSM won’t ever consider themselves in “the scene”? Has the internet made it easier to meet people without needing to go to a club or event?

One theory I’ve heard is that people will explore in their 20’s, settle down in their 30’s, then get divorced and want to explore again in their 40’s.

I have no clue but if you could leave a comment or shoot me an email with your theory I’d love it. The more the merrier, maybe I’ll bring up your comment at the discussion.

If you can make it to the discussion please say hi. This will only be the 2nd time I’ve been on stage with a group of people as part of a discussion. I have a tendency to feel like I need to entertain and therefore make an ass out of myself.   

I’ll try to curb that desire.

Not Even A Teardrop

June 10th has been a bad day for me for many many years.

It was the day I got married.   

Don’t get me wrong, the day of the marriage and the one year anniversary were great! But since she left me shortly after the first anniversary, it’s always been a hard day for me.   

Except this year.

Let me back up and give a little history.

My ex leaving me really messed me up. I was out of commission for almost two years. Just worked and worked and worked. No sex no dating no anything.

Then it got better and only really hurt on the anniversary. I’d need to take the day off of work three years in a row.

Then it got better and I could still go to work but I’d cry at the beginning or end of the day.

This year though, even though I dreaded it’s arrival. Nothing No tears.

In fact I cheered when I realized that I hadn’t even sniffled once over it.

Sure it still stings to think about it but it’s nothing like it was before. It’s more like a dull ache rather than a sharp pain.

Waiting up naked and cuddling helped I’m sure. But outside of that, it’s nice to know there’s measurable healing.

Maybe next year I won’t even think to write about it.

Emotional progress.

And it only took eight years.
