First Time Poster - a bit overwhelmed

Postby dpadovesi » Fri Dec 16, 2016 5:14 am

Not sure if this is the wrong place to put this, so if it is, apologies in advance.

Long time lurker (not to sound creepy...), first time poster wanting to give this a go for real. I've done some super casual TUGs in the past as side-effects of other games, but never with in the intention to end up with some tie-ups.

Anyways, just moved to Portland, OR for work and I figure since everything else in my life is in transition at the moment (no partner/SO), I'd give TUG participation a solid go. So, I guess I'm just trying to figure out if anyone has any suggestions or ideas on how to first find a local TUG community and secondly how to ease into it.

I tried to look around a bit online, but the only thing I found were BDSM clubs which seems way too big of a leap. Ideally, I'd like a safe environment to try different TUGs out and discover what my likes/dislikes/boundaries are.

Just a bit overwhelmed as to where to start.

Thanks

Some fetish clubs have newbie nights or offer classes in different areas including rope work where you pair up with someone and practice the demonstration on each other. It's not always like you walk in, get hand gagged quickly, stripped, forcefully pressed against a St. Andrews cross and tied to it, proper gagged, and flogged for hours. heh
