Where to Go for Fetish Fun

You know I get asked a lot of questions about the bondage scene here in Los Angeles and a lot of other times people ask me about the fetish bdsm scene in whatever city or town they're in. I really only know about the fetish scene in a few cities and even that information might be a little outdated and you know how things change, but I thought I would just go ahead and share what I know with you and really this might be an interesting topic for my forum section and if you think so let me know and I'll create a catagory for it or something so that if you want to talk about the fetish scene in your city or you're curious about it in whatever city you plan to go to, then hopefully either you'll be helping people out or other people will want to help you out by telling you about it. That makes sense right?

So first I'll start with Hawaii because that's where I grew up and everything. There really isn't much of a public scene in Hawaii to be honest and it's practically non-existent on Maui where I grew up. 90% of the population of Hawaii lives on Oahu so if there's going to be anything more public going on, that's probably where it will be. Things come and go though and there used to be a great little fetish store on Kapiolani that always had all the information but they closed which kind of sucks and there also used to be some great fetish/techno/goth parties down by the airport as well but I'm pretty sure they don't do those anymore. Really those parties were about 90% people who liked to play naughty dressup but didn't really know much beyond that, but there were people there who were really into things. Of course most of the purpose of it was just to dance or whatever, not really have a bdsm scene or anything and I'm not sure you'd really want to do that there anyway. It was more of a thing to see and be seen wearing things your mother would certainly never approve of.

Los Angeles I think is one of the better cities for bondage because its a large population that is very kinky and open minded. So there's a lot going on which is nice. First, there are some great shops you can go to, mostly in West Hollywood, for equipment and outfits and stuff. If you ever want to buy me an outfit, Dream Dresser on Santa Monica is definately the place to go. I love their stuff. Pleasure Chest has been around forever and I call it the Macy's of adult stores. It's almost just like going to a department store in terms of how comfortable it is and you just go browse and enjoy. It's not like a sleazy porno store at all but something a lot more fun. I definately suggest checking it out. There's also a place called the Stockroom which is mostly catalog stuff but if you call ahead and are really cute and nice like me, they might just let you in to some secret shopping. There's lots of other good places to buy bondage equipment, furniture and of course naughty fetish attire too, but these I think are some of the main ones. The other nice thing about fetish stores is if you're not sure about the public bdsm scene, they can be a great place to start because you can find out about parties, clubs, organizations and other things that are going on either by looking at flyers or talking to the people who work there.

Okey, so there are also a lot of fetish friendly clubs. These change a lot and sometimes new ones pop up or close and sometimes they change their themes so they become more or less fetish like. I used to like this cool club called Club Fuck on Melrose a long time ago and then it closed but the same people popped up at a club called Vice later on which became very fetish like for a while but then that kind of dropped out later. One of the longer running fetish friendly clubs was Sin-A-Matic on Santa Monica in West Hollywood (see, all the naughty stuff happens in West Hollywood). I'm pretty sure that one is dead though, at least it was last time I checked but something else may have popped up in its place. I heard there's another fetish friendly thing at the same location on Sundays now but I'm not sure. This might not be much help but you can always check in the LA Weekly as well because that newspaper tends to have a lot of great listings of clubs and events and sometimes they'll have a lead for fetish related events. There's also the adult newspapers you see around sometimes and while most of the stuff in them tends to be ads for porn shops, massage services and escorts, you do sometimes find ads for sexual or fetish friendly clubs and parties as well.

Finally for Los Angeles we get to organizations that are helpful. One of the biggest ones here is called Threshold. I've been a member of it for a long time and while I'm not super active with it right now, its a great place to meet people, learn more about bdsm and enjoy some cool parties. They tend to have parties about once a quarter and sometimes they're really good too. They also have lots of workshops and other educational things and its a nice place to meet other people who are into bdsm. I will say that as with anything there are some people who I thought were pretty wierd and some I thought were pretty cool and I guess that's just how these things go.

There are also a number of dungeons and professionals of course here in Los Angeles but they're not too hard to find.

Okey, I could go into detail about other cities like San Francisco and New York because I've played a little in both but I don't know the scene super well. I do know a little about Atlanta because I went there a couple of times and besides, I was really surprised because I didn't think a city like that would have a good scene but it does. There's a fetish friendly club that used to be called the Chamber but now its called the Jungle and they do a fetish theme night I think every Friday. I actually got an email about a thing this Saturday there called the Buckle Ball which sounded pretty cool so if you live in the South, it might be a fun thing to do. There's also a great dungeon called 1763 and there are organizations like one for people under 40 called Whippersnappers that holds monthly play parties at that same dungeon. There's a bunch of other clubs and organizations but I think it would be better for someone more familiar with the bdsm scene in Atlanta to go into more detail on that.

Anyway, that's what I know about bdsm scenes so I'm glad I got to share that with you. If you think that starting a thread in the forum about this would be a good idea just let me know. I think it would be very helpful you know? Also, if you have anything to contribute, add or correct, that would be cool too.

So, I will be going to a fetish party tommorow night I think so that should be fun and if anything particularly exciting happens of course I'll be sure to share all of the dirty naughty details so you can know just what your slutty little slant eyed whore did and why she needs for her tight brown body to be punished for it.
