Wicked Womyn Weekend

Between Max and my Other Guy, my erotic life has been pretty hetero-heavy lately, which is unusual for me. But I spent the weekend with nearly 300 women (and some FTM boys) at Seattle's Wicked Womyn BDSM conference, and it was juicy.

Dossie Easton, coauthor of The Ethical Slut, stroked my intellect with her thought-provoking workshop entitled "Polyamory for Perverts." And I attended a great refresher class on suturing as a BDSM technique.

But the evening dungeon parties were truly hot. Saturday night I played with my favorite bottom, Jae. I've mentioned her charms before in this column, and I had yet another brutally delightful time with her. High point of the scene: clamping her nipples together, stuffing some handy rosebuds into the cleavage, and then flogging her tits until the clamp came off and the rose petals went everywhere. Lots of noisy, nasty fun.

Sunday night I arrived at the dungeon with a full toy bag and no firm plans. But soon after my arrival, a beautiful friend approached me and asked if I was interested in doing some genital torture on her.

Well, I didn't have to spend very long thinking about my answer to that question. We found a playspace, and when she wiggled out of her 1940s retro lingerie and spread her long legs apart, an appreciative crowd quickly formed to watch. I put electrified metal clamps on her girl-bits by way of a warm-up, but the main event was doing the temporary piercing--two needles in each labium. She made the nicest sounds when I smacked them with a riding crop.

My next goal was to ascertain the status of a certain attractive woman I'd been eyeing all weekend. I hadn't been able to catch her alone, though, and so I wasn't sure if she was single and/or available. But I chatted up one of her friends, and I heard what I wanted to hear. Armed with that intelligence, I succeeded in making her acquaintance and moving us forward on my let's-get-to-know-each-other agenda.

So: some education, two very satisfying scenes, and an intriguing possibility for the future. What more could one ask for from a kinky weekend?

Mark your calendars: I'll be performing at Club Medusa on Halloween night, and I'm teaching SM 101 at Toys in Babeland on November 9.
