I typically like to wear black. It’s my favorite lingerie color. I know the green dress was a hit, but something about wearing black makes me feel like I can talk to anyone and truly strut my stuff. The one-piece bodysuit I chose was mostly all black lace, with straps crossing over the front of the cleavage, and I loved how high up the hip seam started – sitting just below my waist.

I was delighted when I arrived at Studio Friction and saw so many bags and shoes in the cubbies. That meant there were going to be a lot of people being tied up – also known in the kink community as shibari or rope tying. I already saw a few people I recognized, but I was still asking for names again. But alas here I am at one of my favorite venues with more names to learn. I love this group because of how sex-positive the space is and how queer-friendly everyone is. I specifically enjoy that Studio Friction is rope-specific. These types of scenes are typically more intimate and slow-paced. People on mats spread out giving each group their space. Some of us sat down on couches and beanbags to chat and watch. I of course needed the bird’s eye view, so I put my blanket and shoes on the corner of the balcony.
Now, I had brought some rope to the event. But my only intention was to meet new people, and of course watch… but maybe even do a few self-ties. However, after watching a demonstration by @-Oso, I just had to be next. I love that we sat on a mat and talked about our past experiences with rope. I’ve actually already seen this person top and bottom with rope multiple times, and I explained that I had been bottoming with rope for about 5 years, see BDSM 101 story. We spent a good amount of time negotiating boundaries, and talking about safety, and aftercare. But little did we know, we would be the final act of the night. I would be tied to the ceiling upside-down while balloons fell and everyone cheered “Happy New Year!” Feeling like there was a spotlight on me, I just closed my eyes. Allowing my attention to go back to my body. Verifying that I’m just not an exhibitionist – I do not enjoy people-watching me. But, as I swung from the ceiling with my arms tied behind my back, I realized how excited I am to learn and grow in this community. A community of people who celebrate my intimate desires in a public place.
I ended the night gently being let down onto my back. The mat was soft and Oso was praising me, saying What a good bottom I’ve been. Even thanked me with a few bites on my arms and legs. I watched as the rope got pulled away from my body and was left unraveled on the ground. I pondered on if I believe taking the rope off is better than putting it on. Feeling immense relaxation, I give my goodbye hugs and head home in the new year.
