I've been to far more clubs in the last 8 years than in the rest of my life put together.
You might wonder why that is. Late developer? Deprived childhood? Corrupted by a friend? (Well, that at least is somewhat true!).
I think it's partly that I never had any good reason to go to a club before. Sure, I loved going out, but to bars and restaurants rather than clubs. Clubs always felt brash, noisy and a bit unfriendly. Then one day I discovered that London has one of the biggest fetish club scenes in the world. I also discovered that the best of these clubs are a grown-up playground... and that the people who go to them are for the most part far more respectful, courteous and laid back than you'll find in "vanilla" clubs.
The first time I went, 8 hours disappeared in what felt like minutes. I felt truly at home among all those weird, liberated, cool, fancy-dressed people. And I still do. I have a degree from Harvard, I sing, play the piano and the viola, I run a company... but I'm never happier than when I'm dancing, partying and playing with my many wonderful and eclectic friends in the scene - both here and overseas.
It's not for everyone... but it's a scene that's full of smart, successful, intelligent, creative, professional and self-aware people and as they say, "you never know until you try it". If you're new to the scene and would like to dip your toe in, drop me a note or take a look at the London Fetish Scene website. There are lots of very friendly people who'd be happy to say hi and show you around.
Have fun!
