Musings

Friday, 7^th April

I enjoyed working, I enjoyed meeting the staff again. Maybe, at some point in my life, I could do this, but for now I am happy with the choices I have made.

Last night I was challenged to a game of the card game they play, all or nothing. Of course I lost and had to strip. They did not bother putting the clips and gear on me, as it was late. Stripping was bad enough! Apparently they talked about “coming out” and why it seems to be so accepted these days, and all kinds of life styles, but fetish and Master and slave is still something people keep quiet about.

Of course Per and Lasse had to deal with much more prejudice, although homosexual relationships have been legal in Sweden for a long time. And Swedish people are supposed to be free thinking and liberal, especially when it comes to sex. Although events like Pride, and now with Kink Korner, are making it more accessible, yes, we are still a secretive community. We do not want vanillas come and gawp, or use our clubs and events as the “in”thing to do. In the community I am in, we are serious, it is our life. It has not been easy for us, to come to terms with the realisation that we like this stuff. My generation did not have the internet to look at videos and photos to satisfy an interest at home. It was all or nothing.
