reflecting

Finally with a few minutes to reflect on last Saturdays Play Party and I'm overwhelmed with positivity. Let me share...

1. Set up 5 full beds, 6 massage tables, 7 pieces of BDSM equipment, 1 eight-ft. tall suspension frame, 2 cuddle stations, 1 lounge area filled with 6 large tables & surrounding chairs then brought in a myriad of party supplies to keep things going all night long.

2. RC & I joined another couple in the sex play room, coming out tousled and spent a short while later

3. All volunteers showed up on time, treated everyone with such respect to the point of accolades being sent from party attendees via email to thank me for such wonderful support help.

4. Watched as my guy had a play experience in front of me for the first time, that did not involve me. (I've traveled this road with partners before yet this is all new territory for RC; I'm checking his pulse often to make sure he's doing o.k, though the perma grin on his face sort of makes one believe he's doing just fine in the world of poly)

5. Met an outrageous amount of new people who had the time of their lives.

6. Was able to catch up with many long term community members, and loved, just loved the conversations about Stinky Tink, McEwan, and community sex-politics. Real conversations, honest information and again, I gathered even more support. Tis' good to have friends.

7. The support from everyone at the party, had me feeling the love surrounding the old Libido Lounge Surrey issue.

8. Played with an astounding number of people. Kissing many women. Aiding others to discover something new. Leading some to new heights of pleasure. Flirted shamelessly, it's part of my job description. Assisting umpteen individuals out of their street clothes as the transition at the door is difficult for some. Couples, and even a triad I found myself in the middle of. Yet I kept my knickers on all night long. How did that happen? Perhaps I'm just a giver.

9. Had a couple fly from Winnipeg Manitoba to attend the Play Party - they made many new friends and I was flattered by their arrival

10. Booked 2 new clients in for Private Coaching work later this week

11. At the front counter, I found a total of 4 large bags of sheets donated to the Play Party. Bonus for the event as sheets and duvet covers were super nice and already covering our beds by nights end.

12. Booked Play Parties for the rest of the year, on a monthly basis, because quite frankly there is not an atmosphere similar to Libido Events anywhere else locally. Our sex-positivity shines through in all that we do and people are demanding that I offer these regularly so they will have options in where to go to get their kink-on in the city as their current options are rather bleak in comparison to our Splash.

13. Party-goers were on our door step even before we opened, and at nights end (1:30 a.m.) I was helping people towards their coats.

14. Dyke and queer women in abundance in our inclusive space, as well as girly girls left right and center. Then again, who could forget the women.


SUCCESS

Were you at the Play Party, did you have a good time as well? Do tell.
