Hot Fetishes and Fantasies at the Church Street Fetish Fair
It was hot for more than one reason at the sixth annual Church Street Fetish Fair this weekend. With temperatures and humidity soaring, Sunday proved to be the kind of day one would ideally spend in a bathing suit by a pool... or for some, in their birthday suits and loafers at the Fetish Fair.
It turns out I was slightly overdressed for this event (in my mini-shorts and tank top), as most opted for more of a breeze in their chaps or other various small strips of leather. When temperatures hit their peak, I think I might have been just a tiny bit jealous.
This year's fair featured demonstrations and performances that included all one could ever need to know about properly executing all kinds of kinky sexual fetish fantasies. Experienced demonstrators went over everything from whips, to bondage, to hitting people with sticks.
I attended the latter demonstration out of curiosity, mainly because "hitting people with sticks" sounded odd enough to be interesting for my inexperienced ears. I mean, in any context (kinky or not), who wouldn't want to attend a workshop of such a quirky topic?
At the demonstration, a woman named Black Orchid went over the various types of sticks that could be used to achieve the "right kind of hurt." She stressed certain safety aspects and went over the ideal places on the body for make-it-hurt-so-good hitting (which, as it turns out it, is anywhere fleshy).
It wasn't until it got dark that I discovered my favourite part of the festival - the last event of the day... the fire show. While I personally wouldn't call it a "turn on", people doing dangerous things with fire is always an awesome spectacle.
During my time at the Church Street Fetish Fair, I didn't tap into any secret fetish. In fact, I'll be the first to admit there were some uncomfortable moments that made me blush and stare at my feet. Turns out I'm a bit of a prude.
While these fetishes aren't really my thing, I realized that there is a certain amount of technique and skill involved in making these various activities enjoyable. So, if you're bored in the bedroom and have a thing for leather, I would definitely recommend attending next year's Fetish Fair. Or you could just go for the kickass fire show.

One of the photos there with the woman staring right into the camera as she twirls the fire - looks amazing!
If you don't like the activities on show, don't come to the fair.
I maintain I want to show the public the different forms of fire play SO.. just wait till you see what I've got planned to show you next year.

Perhaps it was the luck of the draw with those pictures, or maybe visible minorities don't do kinky things.
Just saying.....is all. Arf. ^O_O^~
darling... just about the time one of your family gets all caught up in a dark dank corner by some preditor with an std. Then when you live through that loss you might think a little different.
Information IS Freedom! Freedom is the right to be who you are.
And if by standing out in that street sunday I helped one Newbie find the knowledge they needed to enjoy some of the things this life has to offer. safely, properly... then I'd stand out there every day. LOL Nakid! Maybe Cassy house would have free beds & Fife house wouldn't be building a brand new complex.
But that all aside... that is just a soap box,
That was a safe and sequre location for any one of the 20,000 people that wanted to know a little more or play in the mid-day city sun. the street was closed , signs are posted at every entrance about the adult content. So like this is more a right back at ya but if you don't want your kids to know this stuff, Don't take them... If you live close to this street, choose to take them another way.
I'm proud to live in a country that has a charter of rights and freedoms. Something stated in there is that no one can take a given right or freedom away from another. By that we have the right by permit to do this. So... we do. But to come off and tell me I should dwell in the dark? WOW Are you ever wrong... in your thinking.
and you and others that think like this NEED a wake up call.
YOUR part of the problem. That blind eye, the ignorance, and predjuse fan a fire of unseen problems that won't go away without bringing it into the light and finding the solutions.

Honestly, when nobody gets killed at the fetish fair, and in history, people get gunned down at say.. oh I dunno....caribana....
Why not outlaw caribana? Also, how about outlawing the catholic and the prodestant orange march down yongue st as well considering there has been more worldly deaths at these events than harmless fetish fairs.
Truthfully, these are events that do not promote anything but their lifestyle and the enjoyment of it. It doesn't matter. Nobody gets harmed, and arrogant pricks who don't bother to try stuff before judging it, should move to Iqaluit where the weather is as cold as they are.
If you are a responsible adult, you wouldn't give a loaded gun or pornography to your children. If you don't want them or yourself to see what's going on at the Fair then keep them away from it. Just like you we enjoy the same rights, freedom to see or do (within the limits of the law) what we choose. The law works both ways. "Equal protection for all"
The bottom line is don't complain or bitch about the laws that are there to protect ALL OF US.
But, oooooo God, I get so hard pissing off that servant!!!!!!!!!
MOst of these events are held behind private venues regardless, such as the Operahouse [yet FET in the operahouse], and the EX fairgrounds.
As for FET n SM....umm ya most of it is hypocritcal paradox. How else does it become fun and taboo? If it's not yer thing, stop being a whiney pussy and just dont' bother to engagein it. If it's not yer thing, big deal. Life's bigger than a fair. Mind you....can we also say the same thing with regards to PRIDE as well, cause mmore sex happens there than does at the fet fair.
As for sex acts at the fair.... people are forbidden to do that in public areas. Intercourse, oral, anal, and such is not allowed at the fair as it is a public affair.
But.... we can have lots of mainstream cultural sex references at shopping malls with I dunno.... scantily clad women.....La vie En Rose....La Senza...Most high end fashion outlets etc. Hell we see more SEX on TV advertisement than you do at the fet fair on sunday.
So enlighten me on the whole mainstream sexual culture and what is acceptable...and then I'll listen, but until then, yer just ignorant, perhaps a lil scared of.....hey.. what you may like... ;)
Coffee is hot, and we got timbits!!
