 | Just after I registered on Fabswingers, I did a search on the forums regarding socials and meets, and decided that it was time to pull myself over the threshold: straight into a naked thursday!
A session with the razor and some VEET, a dose of some Dutch courage and off we went with butterflies in my stomach and pants filled with anticipation. I was in two minds whether to go first to Xtasia or Chams and decided to give them a call.
Mark answered the phone and pulled over my psychological threshold and I'm so glad he did: it's so so nice and relaxed. I needn't have worried: the place is amazing. From the beginning I got the feeling like it is a bit like that 1980-ties USA TV series called "cheers": a place where everyone knows your name. Eventually.
Obviously, as a total newbee and arguably with a -sexy, I have you know!- foreign accent, it feels a bit unfamiliar, especially as some regulars seem to frequent Chams 20 or even 25 years. Some have emigrated, but whenever they are back in Blighty, they call in. Like "Cheers", I suppose...
Amy, a regular, gave me a great tour and I did discover places, corners and rooms I had no idea existed! I am finding my way slowly here, especially as nervousness does somewhat hamper any potential -and public- performance, but for sure, I'll be back.
I had no expectations, but left with a bag of confidence and an adrenaline rush for the future. I felt quite low in confidence as following a back op, I gained a lot of weight and out of shape but I needn't have worried: it is body positive, and unlike a GQ cover story, the club is populated by all sorts of people of all ages and shapes, and that was a great relief.
I met a great couple from Wales who stayed over in the hotel section and that brought to my attention: what a fantastic business model and idea: lovers -occasional or regular- could get a room + breakfast for 55 quid or somesuch! No need for the clandestine travel lodge on the motorway or sneaking in bushes or what not ;)
Although I haven't tried the kitchen yet, I hear really good reviews of the Sunday Roasts and evening that is on the list for the future.
You have to bring your own alcoholic drinks as that is part of the licence agreement, which is kept behind the bar with your locker number on it.
Overall, for my journey in my sexual experience and discovery, Chams feels like a safe place to learn and share.
Anyhow, here is to many more meets!
Cheers,
B
