Public Play part 2

i received so many follow up questions that i thought they deserved another blog...

Do we have to be introduced? If we know nobody or just a little, is there someone who take care of some presentations?
If you attend a public club.. there is no need for introductions ... but private ones like Breathless in Ottawa.. yes you need to be introduced

How do we know when it is time to move on?...
when you are tired of watching a scene you just quietly slip away.........

Are the play areas reserved? and how to let know that we would like to use one or another?
sometimes yes they are reserved.. sometimes you speak with a Dungeon Master - they usually are easily identified by arm bands or something like that.. or they may have sign up sheets.. sometimes people put their toy bags down at the equipment..and sometimes you just ask people standing around if anyone is going to use it..

Do people normally take their own toys or use ones that are there?
yes people bring their own toys... seldom do you see people sharing toys.. there are health issues.. at least for me there are .. major ones!

Do you have to worry about the cleanliness of the big equipment?
Yes always........ clubs generally have cleaning products available and you are expected to wipe down the equipment you have used - like the spanking bench .. cross etc....

Is there drinking as well?If not, how do the clubs make money?Is there a cover charge?If there is drinking, how often does that, um, cause issues or trouble with too much drinking?
ummm.. some clubs have drinking yes.. most that Sir and i go to do not......... drinking is an issue for me personally.. but it isn't for everyone.. i for example will not play with someone who has been drinking.. i learned that lesson the hard way....
and yes all clubs have cover charges.. some even have membership fees as well as cover charges..

Since you don't wear fetish, what do you wear? Do you wear street clothes?Do you strip down to your underwear for the play?
if one is not into fet wear.. they usually wear black.. i have a number of little black "numbers" that i can wear.. i also have a corset .. and i have a Story of O dress with a corset that goes on top that i wear for more formal affairs
Once Sir and i go to play.. yes Sir will have me strip down.. i always have a pair of thongs on.. and am usually left only in that for the scene.. sometimes.. especially at "hard play" night at Breathless .. Sir has stripped me completely.. that is difficult for me.. silly as it seems.. seeing as a thong doesn't leave much to the imagination..

Do the clubs have to deal with a lot of legal issues? I mean enough so that it effects your enjoyment as a patron there?
so far i have never been involved in any legal issues per say......... i don't get too involved in the running of clubs so i can't really answer that well.... and a lot depends on the club..
most of the clubs i have been to.. double as swingers clubs.. they are now legal here in Canada.. soooooo.. i guess that helps.. (and no Sir and i are NOT swingers.. we only attend those clubs on BDSM nights)

Now Lady Baltimore gave me some suggestions for further blogs.. which i really liked and say "thank you!!" i will get to them another day........ it has been a long day for me .. work and night meetings.. (i HATE night meetings .. especially when i have to drive in snowy weather with slippy driving conditions.. )

thanks to everyone for your questions and interest in Public play.... i hope i have answered your questions to your satisfaction.. and that the information helped..
