I spent Monday morning at a BDSM dungeon. AMA

[DukeOfBurgundy]

Anything about BDSM-y stuff, really.

I'd probably describe myself as a sub. Although I'm mostly a masochist. I just like being spanked with stuff really hard.

The "dungeon" was exclusive use for me and my boyfriend from 10-2. Had a lovely time. It's the second time we've been there.

I've done BDSM "clubs" a few times. But I don't get anything from exhibitionism/voyeurism. Just enjoyed the spanking benches etc. Much prefer having the equipment all for our own use.

Ask me anything.

What's sexy about a Monday morning?

[JoshChan]

Did you book time off work for it?

[SparklyMagpie]

And to think I just want a brew on a Monday morning

And i thought I was kinky too

[DukeOfBurgundy]

I'm on holiday this week. Booked Monday so it would be at the start of the holiday.

And I'm a morning person.

[guiltynetter]

were you not a bit sore after 4 hours 😱

[OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny]

Do BDSM cellars and clubs have good cleaners?

[Ginorchoc]

You wasn’t there long then. Cleaners

Not my thing but loving all these AMA threads.

[PretABoire]

What kind of equipment do they have?

Do you get an induction - like when you go to a new gym?

Is the dungeon monitored in any way to make sure no one is seriously hurt?

Is it a bit scary/creepy in there?

[LemonBreeland]

I'm loving that this was a Monday morning thing rather than an evening at the weekend.

What makes being in the club/dungeon better than doing the same thing at home?

How did you find it? And know it was reputable?

[MipMipMip]

I'm another that wants to know if the cleaners are really really good? You would NOT want them skimping there. They should be well above standard rates of pay too...

[DukeOfBurgundy]

Sorry, got a bit distracted by (non-kinky) holiday stuff. Plus the internet connection isn't great here in the middle of nowhere.

Will endeavour to answer all the questions:

Oh yes. That was rather the point. Mind you, it wasn't a full 4 hours of spanking. We had a half-hour break in the middle for a cup of tea.

I imagine it's the owners who do the cleaning in between bookings. They provide anti-bac cleaning spray so we gave everything a wipe down when we'd finished.

All the equipment is wipe clean anyway. There's a break out area with a little kitchen and comfy sofas. And a big sign that says "No shagging on the sofas".

[tsonlyme]

How much did it cost to hire?

I am on a very quiet bus and I giggled so loud at this!

[annandale]

Doesn't the spanker get bored sometimes - or repetitive strain injury?

There's a spanking bench (my favourite), where you're bent over and strapped down. A St Andrews Cross, an X shaped affair that you can be shacked to, a sex swing on a really sturdy bit of scaffolding that you can also use for rope suspension. And other padded things to be shackled to. About six things like that. Also a couple of cages and a "medical room" which we didn't use.

We did get a talk through it all when we first went - definitely a bit like a gym induction. Some of the stuff does rather look like gym equipment.

No, no monitoring. You're expected to know what you're doing in terms of safety.

Not creepy. But then I like that sort of thing. So I just get sort of bouncy and enthusiastic when I get there.

[DukeOfBurgundy]

Right, I need to go and pack. We're leaving the holiday cottage this morning.

Back later.

[EvilTwins]

What sort of things did your DP use to spank you with? How did you discover you liked being spanked?

[bananafish81]

Do you take any of your own equipment or do they provide a wide range of floggers, ropes etc?

Do they allow stuff like wax play (or is that pretty wipe cleanable too?!)

Apart from no shagging on the sofa signs, is there anything else they prohibit? (whether or not they can police that is another question entirely though!)

[Daisy9010]

Whaaaaat the

[GorgonLondon]

I am struggling to think of anything less erotic than a 'sex dungeon' pre-booked at 10am on a Monday.

Are you over 50, OP?

[lastnightidreamtofpotatoes]

Re the medical room; I read about a form of BDSM where the Dom performs 'medical harm' and uses plugs to seal the urethra so that the sub can't urinate. Is that something that you're in to?
