anyone ever been to a bondage/fetish party/club?
 

friend was talking about wanting to go.
i'm down on the stuff itself, but i'm not sure if i'm down on the lifestyle.

and it seems to me the idea is that there's this club full of really sexy people in leather and leashes and being sexy

but it's probably lots of fat dudes and gross old ladies.

any anecdotes/experiences?

Been there, hosted that. Man I do love a good fetish party, including bondage scenes, both light all the way to HEAVY. Yeah, you can usually count on there being a few he and she's there that dont appeal to you, maybe, but i've never been to or hosted one of these get togethers that wasn't crawling with gorgeous, willing, kinky babes for we men-folk to partake of, and even more hard- dick dudes to please (torture, tickle, whizz on, etc.) the lovely ladies. The key is to sorta know at least a friend of a friend of the host/hostess, and get some idea of the scene before you show. Remember, it is a fetish party. Someone may have a fetish of using your bung hole as an ashtray. Check things out ahead of time, figure out the rules and the Expectations, and have a ball.

I've been to many of them
PowerExcange in both SF and Vegas

We have our own swinger parties but not bdsm stuff, although we love to watch

i always have tons of fun at these events. you'll see all different types of people and age groups. the best part is everyone is so friendly and not in a creepy way.
