A quick Sunday project makes the double roller more my style…

Last weekend was an amusing time. I was at a friend’s house with fellow kinksters and scene newcomers TerrificTeez and BroadSpectrum, and along with other activities, we played in the basement for a little while. However, interestingly enough, that wasn’t how it started out.
Since this was both TerrficTeez and BroadSpectrum’s first time visiting this particular friend’s house, I showed them the basement, which has served as a dungeon on a few occasions (something about a basement space makes it seem uniquely suited for kink). I initially took BroadSpectrum down to show her the space, best described as a fairly ordinary basement with a couch, a coffee table, and a decent amount of open space with area rugs, and then show her how some of my various implements worked and felt. I don’t think I’ve had or seen this much laughter in a scene in a long time (or ever).
The first thing that I demonstrated to BroadSpectrum was the rope. My usual go-to for rope is a soft, manmade-fiber clothesline that I bought for a fairly low price at Home Depot. It came in a pack of 200 feet, and I cut it into 50 feet in order to be suitable for my needs. Also needing to take a picture to use as a profile pic, after some discussion about how to do some tying for that, we agreed to tie BroadSpectrum’s wrists in front around a floor-to-ceiling pole.
I’ve done enough scenes by now to know how I’m going to respond to things. I know that I don’t like having the bottoms of my feet played with (too sensitive). I know that I don’t like being struck on the backside too many times in a row because it becomes too intense too quickly. Same goes for other stinging impact play. Hit the same place too many times, and I’ll end up calling a “yellow” on that in relatively short order. Moving all around and giving each target a time to rebound before the next strike is okay, but not the same spot multiple times. I know that I really like thuddy impact play, since it’s felt on a much deeper level. And I have an idea about positions that I shouldn’t get myself into.
But when it comes to aftercare, I can usually get right up from a scene and be good to go. Untie me and I need minimal assistance. Maybe I’ll admire the rope marks for a few minutes, but otherwise, I’m good to go, though I admit that BDSM is somewhat physically draining for me (though I sleep quite well afterwards). My needing an actual aftercare period to come back down and recover is highly unusual. But a scene that I recently did with a friend was one of those scenes.
