Hello everyone; I recently got invited to a bit of a play party. I'm monogamous and long distance with my partner at the moment, I'm interested in going and my partner is urging me to go (if i can). But the question I have is this, I don't know if I should be going- everyone is much older than me already (at least a good decade or more), would I be able to fit in? I feel a little on the odd side because I'm gonna be one of the only monogamous people there and I'm so young/inexperienced. Would it still be a good idea to go to the party? What are some good things to ask other experienced people at the party? c:
I've never liked being pressured into anything, and have a habit of doing the opposite of what I'm urged to do out of spiteful rebellion.
that said, if you
do decide to go, I would caution against doing so alone. especially if you are new or don''t know anyone there. bring a friend along, if you can, or don't go at all.
if you still go, be ready to fend off threats, coercion, manipulation, sleeze of any kind. my favourite tactic is to threaten to call the cops.
but I'm being a debbie downer. there is still a chance that it can be safe and fun. but the risks are always present, and going alone is never a good idea.
I don't feel all that pressured to go, I think it would be interesting but I just honestly don't think being around people ~20 years older than me is very conducive to learning more kinky stuff. I think you're right on the risks of going alone while I'm so inexperienced/young.
My friend is really sweet and her heart's in a good place but I think I'm gonna wait til her friend's dungeon opens so me and my partner can see the different happenings together. You aren't being a debbie downer I honestly wasn't thinking about the risks all the much.

Do you have any experience with parties hosted at people's homes vs. dungeons/clubs? It just sounds like the parties hosted at residential homes can get a little...dangerous from what my friend told me because she was with her Sir and still had people constantly trying to dom/control her even when he was around?
I know exactly the answer you need:
don't go.

nothing good will come out of it.
Nothing good will come of her being around others like minded people in a small, intimate setting instead of in a large club surrounded by possibly hundreds of strangers?
Oh, dear girl, you have so much to learn about the lifestyle.
Please see my post to her for reference, I do not feel like repeating myself.
gahahaha
I'm not your dear girl.
autoasphyxiation FUD? lol. I think LONE SUB RAPE AND ABUSE is the real danger here. or have you been in the "lifestyle" so long that's not a problem?
no one has anything to learn from pompous self-important teachers. I have a lot to learn about a lot of things but so do you if you think crassly undermining statements will inspire learning.
play party = f*party
friends aren't always friends. sometimes FRIENDS abuse you.
you wrote fifty pages of text
she was clearly hesitant but already made up her mind, she just needed a push
even as a submissive I could see that
geesh
if you recommend a lone female sub to go alone to a play party at a private home under any circumstances then I don't know what to say. lol
I was being helpful! to her, not to you! she should go with her owner whenever that's possible.but not alone.never alone.unless you want to take the risk. but wasn't bdsm all about "safety"? or does rape not count?
(can you tell I really loathe the community for its attitudes despite my own pretty liberal definition of rape?)
You clearly have never been to a play party if you think that all it is is a free for all orgy.
She wasn't going alone. She was invited to go with friends, so did you deliberately overlook that part? I took time to cool off before returning to Gaia to respond to you, because had I responded right away, I am quite sure the things I said would have been extremely unkind.
Stating nothing good, at all, would come of her attending a gathering with friends is not helpful. It is implying that being with her friends is dangerous to her health. it implies that the community as a whole is filled with predators waiting to pounce on unsuspecting submissives. It perpetuates the stereotype that non-kinksters have of BDSM and those who participate in it.
I read your post about your former partner, I refuse to call him a master because he does not deserve such a title. Had you been Gorean he would have been among the ones that many of us are trying to weed out of Gor because he did not treat you with respect, he did not treat you like a treasures possession. You were a thing, an object, something to throw away when he was done with you. That is evident by the fact he did not even respect you enough to give you a name. You come across as someone fairly young, so I am wondering if he took a naive, barely adult female, and used you and warped you, and as a result you have a very twisted view of the world and especially of BDSM.
