Yes, I’m back at 66 Chambers for another Sins and Seduction because this time, they offer something different in the form of the Red Room: a room restricted to kink enthusiasts and the truly curious only.
I specifically go for this event as observer, as 66 Chambers always welcome. I’m surprised by how respectful and structured the interactions are here.
Actually, I totally enjoy this event as compared to the first such event I had attended, despite the fact that the only primary difference being the addition of Red Room only. One of the reasons is that this event attracts quite a number of kink enthusiasts, who are so friendly. And I actually feel so at ease interacting with them because of their expressiveness, openness, respect of boundaries and emphasis on communication, which is a must in kink context. There is no hidden agenda and no need for reading the room when communicating with them, thus making the interactions truly enjoyable for observers like me, who is purely looking to know and understand more ways of expression.
Yup, I don’t attend these events to find anything, which many people find unbelievable.
I find out some fascinating and intriguing nuances about kink community that totally satisfies the Enneagram 5 in me. So yes, I love to attend more events with the kink community involved, as observer.
Besides the kink enthusiasts making this event awesome, another primary difference is my mindset when going to this event. Last time, I was reactive and performative, wondering what to do, waiting around for things, like mass dancing for example, to happen, thus I felt underwhelmed when nothing big happened. Yes, there was some chatting with people, but the interaction felt strained to me because being reactive and performative at that moment, I was not into the conversations, taking all the energy out of me when I tried to respond accordingly instead of spontaneously.
Now I go with the mindset to curate my own experience based on the space 66 Chambers provides. I start talking to the kink enthusiasts and people that I find interesting, exploring different drinks on the menu, enjoying the music, dancing when the music feels right and watching some kink individuals expressing themselves. I totally enjoy myself and I do feel that curating one’s own experiences in this bar is what this place is all about.
Even the staff is way more friendlier with me this time (it was very crowded last time, so understandably, they need to focus on crowd management). Because of this, I get to talk to the bartender a bit and he recommends me the Gas Chamber. And an awesome recommendation that is. It is a fiery drink, literally, infused with aromatic smoke. The bartender will light the drink up on fire and then pour the drinks and flames all together into the shot glass. It feels so hypnotic and intriguing to see a stream of blue flames flowing down from the wine glass and into shot glass. Then I get to inhale the aromatic smoke that the drink is infused. Lastly, I down the drink in one gulp to taste its entirety of intoxication, smoothness, aroma and sweetness. It’s oh so good. I love it. Given the theatrics and great taste, this drink is a must-try.
