I ATTENDED MY VERY FIRST BDSM PARTY!!
The event was organised by Sub Rosa Dictum, who have organised various events around Europe and now want to help develop the community in Cape Town. I love that, of course.
Here’s their website, if you’re curious about it: https://subrosadictum.de/
I told my mom about this amazing experience last night and she just kept saying “wow”.
The irony of this whole situation is this: our community is shunned and viewed as taboo, yet how we treat each other should be the standard for how people engage with each other in everyday situations.
I think the key difference is that BDSM is inherently feminist - all participants are equals - and I basically got a taste of what could be if we didn’t live in a patriarchal society.
I’m so looking forward to more of these events!
