thunder: a vignette

The last workshop we went to was one on metal bondage.  I enjoy how easy and effective metal bondage is.  I also wanted to go to the workshop because it was by Lolita Wolf and Boymeat.  Honestly, I would listen to those two give a talk on the history of mayonnaise, especially Lolita (though I love their dynamic and also like Boymeat by himself).

They talked a lot about handcuffs (which we don’t have any of; we use leather cuffs instead, which are more comfortable but can still be fastened closed with a lock) and other kinds of metal restraints.  Since rope is beautiful but frustrates me I got a lot of enjoyment out of Boymeat’s “Fuck all that Japanese rope bullshit” attitude.  Yay!

They called for volunteers a few times, and Joscelin went up pretty early in the workshop and got cuffed, hands in front, with his cuffs connected to a chain around his waist like a prisoner.  Then they sent him back to sit down.

This was exciting for him and when I looked into his eyes they had gone all cute in a way that made me want to rough him up.  (We had some nice Klingon sex Saturday, so apparently I was just kind of in this mode.)  As we watched the rest of the workshop we had a lot of looks at each other.  I also bit his shoulder a few different times and sort of randomly (though mildly) roughed him up, like pushing his head around or shoving his body a little bit.  And of course I liked to wrap my hand around the waist chain and just kind of yank on it.  It was delightful, the whole thing.

Late in the presentation, his cell phone went off.  This is embarrassing enough normally, but in fact cell phones are completely forbidden at Thunder, which makes it even worse.  And on top of that, he had no way to reach into his pocket to silence it.  We had a good laugh over that.
