Hard On @ Factory, 22 Oct 2010 (London)

It seems these B.itches are game for anything, and with an acquaintance of the deviant type inviting us to try HardOn – we thought long and hard on it ... and since we had previously attended “F*st ReUnion” – mistakenly thinking it was HardOn – then this was the time to redeem our-fetish-selves. and the promoter just didn't see our tongue and cheek humour re gloves last time :-)

Latino-B.itch needed a last minute shopping trip to purchase a pair of boots – as HardOn is remarkably strict compared to the parties we have been to at Recon and The Boots in Antwerp. We are a shy pair so we travelled incognito on the tube arriving around midnight.
Coming from the non-RVT end, Goding Street feels a little deserted but thankfully there was the door and with a minimal security check, the main concern was whether we had boots – yes and they were still in their box – all gift wrapped ;-) A gentle patting down and through into the entrance hall. Here a very organised and friendly affair took place with membership cards being checked off against computers and the £15 entry fee paid to a very cute ‘cashier’ in a red harness.
The advertising had said ‘Two changing Areas’ – well if you count two rows of chairs – one in the b.itch dark and the other a bit better lit – then I suppose there were. It’s only I imagine the delights of a Virgin Active club changing room – fussy? not us. Stripping off and into our harness, leather jeans (sexy chaps for the perfectly ripe Latino bum!) and of course shiny boots – we immediately caused the testosterone levels to rise and we hadn’t even entered the club proper. The cloakroom was efficiently operated and nice little ‘zippable laundry/shopping bags’ were provided to stash our civilian clothes – although the cloakroom staff looked a little bemused by the people they were serving (in various states of undress) but kept smiling nevertheless.

Our two friends came to meet us looking particularly fetching, one shiny in rubber while the other all macho in this harness – so we grabbed a drink from the bar before proceeding off to find the dance floor at the end of a dark passage way – we are really scared about hitting out heads in these places – maybe we should come as miners with head torches! It was a night sponsored by invinciblerubber.com but we could see a lot of leather harness guys hanging about too so we had no worries there – plus a few “slave pigs” – really on all floors with a piggy mask on, Latino-B.itch had to be told not to stare!

The dance floor was a nice space, with a bar at the back – already full of guys – and many much hotter and younger than we had imagined – so this was a helpful sign for a good evening to come. We of course drew even more admiring stares and Latino-B.itch’s ass seemed to be the focus of attention when they weren’t fixed on our abs. Well they can all look for free, but touching by Royal appointment only. The music was being DJ’d by Brent Nicholls, Sharon O Love and Halo-Is. We could just see the Australian Brent masterminding his selection of pumped up beats although, the DJ booth was at the back of the stage - for him a bit like being in the outback! Although on the stage there was a rubber kinky sex show taking place so I guess people wanna see the action not the DJ!

But we had to move on and explore up the stairs from here was a mezzanine cruising balcony overlooking the dance floor with bench seating – quite a nice area and remind us very much of Rapido Amsterdam – although not quite a bright – just a personal preference of wanting a little more light to see who u cruising – we are VERY choosey! But there was a blonde whose eyes kept meeting mine but was already rather engaged by the status of his manhood and the guy on his knees.

Along then through a set of doors and into the main play room which was even darker! Plenty of buckets of condoms, lube and gloves as you entered – which was encouraging to see. Bench seating to the right – slings to the left – the sling area was sleazily dark – no idea who u might stumble across in there and then we did see our rubber clad friend pumping wildly away – but he had time to turn and grin. At times this was a real traffic jam having to literally slide your way through, falling over legs and feet from kneeling cock suckers up to mischief on the floor, luckily all that lube eases the way through.

Down the steps then and into the ‘back bar’ (the coat check area) and through again into the main dance floor where we engaged ourselves in one of the Fuck n suck nooks. One part of the extra fun of doing your own boyfriend in public – well those chaps just entice you to use them – especially when he bent down to tie his lace. Then a quick freshen up involved checking out the toilets, which were being well maintained by a guy whose ass also looked pretty good in chaps! But standing for a pee at the urinals was at times off putting if u not into watersports with a guy kneeling by your side but it did give me the chance for a little anglo-dutch relations and the three of us nipped into an empty cubicle to try it out for size. And as we came out who should be waiting for us but the blonde guy again – oh go on then, he asked if we had been avoiding him – with that protrusion how could we not notice him!

We did briefly join our leather friend on the smoking terrace – mainly to ogle some fresh meat in the light and were well rewarded for our smoke inhaled pain. By 4am the crowd had started to thin, have these sleazy bunch no stamina? But the dance floor was still pulling them in with excessive amounts of CO2 and laser and minimal lighting effects, as well as some progressive pumped up tracks. In fact trying to find the exit was surreal as the fog was so thick it was scary, had to hold on to those Brazilian buttocks for safety.

So declobbering we felt like continuing but in a less sexually charged intense atmosphere so a short walk around the block and we were safely installed in Charriots to continue the beats and spent the evening with a Persian and American couple’s very affectionate company at this delightful spa.

So a pleasantly fetished first appearance for SceneB.itch at HardOn, impressed by the quality of hot guys, the efficient organisation, the safe sex tools, the dance floor, lasers and quality music. We admit not to be hardcore sleaze freaks but a little dabble from time to time suits our fancy – looking hot in our gear and saying ‘no’ gives us just as much pleasure than giving it to a minger. But there was enough fun to be had – yup thumbs up and we’ll be doing it sleazy again some day soon.

If the above reviewer scene b.itch doesn't know what gloves in the playroom are for then he shouldn't be there in the first place!!

Also we did NOT advertise free Beyond tickets at the last Hard On. The reviewer got that wrong.
We at Hard On do not false advertise!

B.itchin @ HardOn (F... Reunion), 26 March 2011 @ Hidden (London)
You know you want to try it but will you dare. Or will people see you as a perv? or indeed get photographed and appear on the scene round ups in Boyz or QX, argh!? Well, Latin.B.itch has always worried about being seen on the fetish scene in London – we have our reputations to uphold – um, yeh! Hence we’ve done our Recon stuff in places like Antwerp. But finally we succumbed to the hype that surrounds HardOn and made a visit on actually last night at present venue Hidden.
After avoiding going into central London due to anarchists smashing the place up, we choose a sedate tube journey in our civvies to arrive just before midnight with about 10 people in the queue. The first security dude checking what we would be wearing so we had to unpack on a trestle table. The second set were more like an SAS interrogation squad, “Got any chewing gum?”, as I swallowed mine, forgetting similar scenarios at the Coronet. “Um No”, I sheepishly lied. “Got any poppers?” he barked, “Um no”, I more confidently replied. And with that and no patting down or further searches we were free to proceed with our three packs of chewing gum! Oh come on clubs 99% of us discard it respectfully in other people’s drinks!
So we joined the queue once again, just outside the entrance, witnessing stalk bullock naked man come out wearing just a venetian mask into the chilly night air – although he was still relatively proud, then a guy being pulled on a lead, a woman with her bits out and finally someone in leather gear which included a full rubber hood – we nervously glanced at each other but held our nerve as we watched them disappear towards the food van in the smoking area. Then a cute guy in green vest and leather shorts came out to apologise for the delay “we’re waiting for the cloakroom to clear”. Well maybe a 15 minute wait and as we edge forward the same young man kept bending down to get stuff in the reception desk giving everyone an eyeful, mmm. And a skin head security guy came charging round the corner from the cloaks complaining of the delay, gosh.

Anyhow finally, our turn to pay, having sign up as members we were able to quote our number for discounted entry and our card will be in the post, along with the cute guys phone number no doubt.
So we stripped and got into our leathers, harness and boots and bunged everything else into our bags and then handed the bags and coats to the cloakroom girls who definitely looked like they didn’t want to be there, cheer up it may never happen. She then mumbled I needed a bin bag, gosh my clothes aren’t that bad! But into the bin bag went my rucksack and jacket. Wow progress.

We were ready and upon opening the doors bumped into our acquaintance who was going to show us the ropes with a grand tour. Having stopped to get a drink in the red room upstairs bar – gosh so hot, and then down to watch a stage show in full production. It was described as a “Pervy performace by sex0r (don't stand close to the stage....)!” But one of those fringe arty theatre type acts that you might see in Berlin – totally unstimulating – a man pretending to be a cow and the milk-maid for us anyway humourless – what was that? I’m sure we’d heard before that the shows tend to be like porno shows hmm.

So we escaped into the play room - dark, rather! We stumbled past camouflage netting to the far end where there was a porn film on a large screen which provide some light, so standing against a wall to compose ourselves our eyes adjusted to the light and a tall rubber clad guy immediate started to show interest in me. This place was full, and it soon became apparent that this was going to be the most popular space. Everything you could imagine was happening around us (well within reason). But guys on their knees, guys in slings, you get the picture – no wonder you need to be a ‘member’. Rubber, leather, skin and military – mm that tall guy in desert cammies but did he look or not? we are shy at making the first move!
We then went to view the upstairs part of this playroom, only to immediately turn back as it was stiflingly hot up there, and with a roof that meant anyone over 6ft was struggling for sure and also too dark – we like it more duskish – the Recon Antwerp or Boots or even Rapido dark room is more our style.

So off for a drink in the Blueroom where DJ Brent Nichols was mixing up some more tasteful uplifting “progressive electro” tunes – but the bar had a low ceiling and gave this area a funny feeling – you know us and heights but it gave us a better chance to survey the mix of attendees. Which was pretty mixed but not as mixed as the promotional material was suggesting. There was every age group but as with most fetish places more 30 plus guys as you would expect. And, surprising for us a number of women. There seemed to be very few more extreme fetish types - only a couple of hoods and slave boys that we witnessed – plus a couple of nutters one of which was in the corridor just head butting the wall – jeez.
The gents toilets were unstaffed and hence had no paper while the womens seemed to be adequately looked after my a red leather clad skin guy – who always had a smiling face and kept the place spotless. But seeing women with their things out is a funny site for us poofs, and it’s hard not to stare, sorry ladies. Coming back into the Blueroom I lost my balance – now the floors all over did seem extremely slippy – could this be one of the hazards of having so much lube all over ones hands and feet!

Back out and a trip into the red room for a drink, where two very unenthusiastic bar staff didn’t seem to know what Cranberry juice was, oh back upstairs and the bubbly blonde girl served us nicely. But we couldn’t stay long as they were playing some weird hard hitting punky house (I have no idea) but a smallish crowd were jerking around to it, so we left them to it and crusied the cuter guys in the blueroom. As the evening went on people seemed to appear from no were – I guess they had been up to no good in the dark area before hand – so keeps you guessing who to cruise constantly.
The good thing was that there were buckets of condoms and lube and gloves (for some reason??) all over the place but our friend warned of barebackers, so we were on the look out for that seedy number. He also tried to get us Beyond tickets as it had been advertised for free but not this week as Black-Beyond was on but there were discount vouchers available.

Generally the venue didn’t inspire us, the space was not very alluring, the chill out bars far too hot – no aircon at all, some moody staff but maybe that is the good news that HardOn is moving to Factory on the gay vauxhall strip so perhaps that will be different kind of space that we’ll pop our head into for a peek. Fetish for us doesn’t have to be too sleazy and we’ve seen it with the hottest guys - so we are still probably on the sidelines of this scene encounters. But we are prepared to try again in a new venue and see how that fares before we totally make up our mind on HardOn – as it had a mixed set of music for a very accepting crowd, we just wish fetish could be a little more upmarket.

B.itch right back at you soon!
