YAY; from memory, I seem to recall they make a black, carbon, conductive body stocking. (Fredricks of Hollywood, circa 2008. Let me know if you need help checking out the conductivity! Hehehe)

Why is this only available to women? Is there some scientific reasoning? Are female bodies more conducive to music? I certainly hope not.

He kept it hid And so did she.

I'm looking forward to Wench's report if she does have the opportunity to do it.

Thanks Gaminwench!

I'm glad you're taking one for the team. I personally guarantee that you will enjoy it. (or your money back. Haha)

I try to do sessions in the evening after work, generally around 7pm. PM me and let's get a time and date set up.

Having your partner around isn't an issue, though he will certainly not experience as much as you, It's a sensation thing, not a visual thing, and it's all with headphones, I'll work out an extra headphone pair for him to be the creeper, --ah, I mean Chaperone. Haha... Couldn't resist. He's welcome.

Looking forward to it, and also your "report" to the teeming masses after. Hopefully without spoiling the surprises too much.

FYI, The reason for women only, at the moment, both our female performers are not available, and since it is a very sensual/erotic session, I prefer to work on the opposite sex. That's all. Hopefully one of our female artists will end up being able to attend this year, but so far, it's still up in the air and my wife, who is the other female artist, is taking this year off.

Cheers!

Alrighty, team, we've set a date! :D

I'll return here with a full report next week (no spoilers, though). 8)

Thank you, Lazer, for taking the snark and rolling with it!
Thank you, eplaya, for facilitating what promises to be an interesting experience!

And there you have it folks! Man, it is amazing the game some guys use, and what some ladies fall for, all in the name of Art, or whatever.
My favorite part is the "yeah, I'll let you cop a feel, but my boyfriend gets to watch." Art, hilarious.

The original poster claims to have a wife, is she being offered up as anyone's practice fiddle? Or is that not quite the sensual/erotic experience he had in mind?

Oh, no doubt I am having a t-shirt made up with "Will feel you up for art" on it. And then suddenly I will be enlightened also, along with the noble ladies letting me get a squeeze.

A little perspective: an attractive, heterosexual, monogamous, in-a-longterm-relationship friend of mine participated in an Eros Tangere session last year. Her boyfriend was at the burn and encouraged her to do it if she wanted to, but didn't go in with her. I can't recall exactly what she said afterwards, but I remember that it was positive and that she described it as sensual but not overly sexual. The practitioner (perhaps Mr. Lazer?) was male and definitely touched her intimately in some way, but she said that it didn't feel TOO creepy, and she said it was different and interesting and enjoyable and not necessarily something she needed to try again but was glad she did it once. One of those "you're at the burn, say yes" kind of moments that don't necessarily always work in default, but have their place at TTITD.

That said, Lazer, you could probably work on selling your practice in a less pervy way. No matter how good your intentions are, you have to admit that what you're describing kind of sounds like what a cult leader would say to each of his 20 child brides before consummation. Step one in my opinion would be allowing participants to choose the gender of their practitioners (I understand that your staff is currently limited, but out of hundreds of satisfied women you should have some recruitment potential). Step two might be offering at least a small number of sessions to men, either by yourself or another camp member.

Regardless, in the name of art and boobies, I wish you luck.

I just want to point out that our very own GaminWench has been suspiciously absent lately. I'm sure thats completely coincidental, and I'm sure she is "just fine", but on the off chance she is in a deep, dark pit with someone shouting "It puts the lotion on the skin or else it gets the hose again!!!", I'm planning a rescue mission just the same. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

No need for a rescue mission yet, guys; but I do appreciate the sentiment (aww, they really do care!)
I'm away from home this weekend and my phone typing skillz are not conducive to posting.
I'm scheduled to meet with Lazer on the morrow and will let the eplayaverse know the results of my scientific expedition very soon.

If you've not heard from me by mid-week, feel free to send in the troops!

Dont believe a word she is saying. She has clearly been stuffed down an old well and is being forced to make these statements.

Kaos,

Maybe your friend can help me write the description that would better describe the experience. I have no intention to make anything sound "pervy" and this post on ePlaya is the first time that I've even had any type of negative reaction. Ugh.

Yeah, when there are ladies available that want to run sessions, we offer it to guys. At the moment, they are unavailable or out of town. We're working to rectify that.

Looking forward to working with Gaminwench this evening. Now I need to go prepare the ether.... Er, I mean the massage oil. ;-)

Cheers!

LOL, I like you too. If I lived closer i'd want to be trained. Give her a kiss from me and know that you have one of the best of the world in your hands. Treat her with all the love we all have for her.

Kinda like a woodwind??


: any of a group of wind instruments that are characterized by a cylindrical or conical tube of wood or metal usually ending in a slightly flared bell, that produce tones by the vibration of one or two reeds in the mouthpiece or by the passing of air over a mouth hole.

Sounds about right...

As a serious 71 year old heterosexual male, with a low level of testosterone and who is in a long term monogamous relationship; I would gladly volunteer to be the first of my kind to lay on your table, blindfolded and with earphones on.

My music preference are: Switched on Bach, Grace Slick singing White Rabbit, Pete Seeger singing Forever Young, Luciano Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma and the Major General song from the Pirates of Penzance.

Please, just tell me when and where to be and it will be my job to find you.
