The Chattanooga Fetish Scene and Loca Luna parties

Okay, I want to make a statement about the fetish community here. People, it's large, but it ain't that large. Complaints pop up that the Loca Luna parties are BDSM lite. Yes, they are. We don't have permanent private space (yet) and must cooperate with the hotel owners or bar owners to even have avenue. Someday, SOMEDAY, maybe we can have those exclusively leather events we all dream of, but, while Chattanooga has many alternative lifestylers in it and surrounding areas, this isn't New York City. We have to be inclusive, and yes, that means that the swingers, and crossdressers and non-BDSM people in general who just may be curious, are invited. And that means we can't all be quite as open as we'd like.

But I like to view it as cross-fertilization in a public place. The vanilla people can bring their curiosity to us and we can show them it's not quite as scary as they think, that it's actually, fun! We get to meet our transsexual or gay neighbors, the goth kids, and yes, the swingers. Cruising doesn't mean dangerous, we just gots to let them know the rules. One way to teach them is to show them!

So, lighten up, Frances, and come out and enjoy the party, not as a full-on, hard-core scene, but as a cocktail party where you can enjoy the eye-candy and might actually meet (surprise) someone that you didn't know was kinky, and who didn't know you were kinky, and, hey, wanna meet up later?
