IML is over. There’s still one more post I need to put together – my one real S\/M experience (other than the one where I mostly just watched), but it contains video, so I need to edit the video first.<\/p>\n
Expectations vs. Reality<\/span><\/p>\n For starters the hotel wasn’t exactly a bathhouse. VERY sexual, but different than a bathhouse. I didn’t see any open doors or anything like that. I did see one cumhole that put a sticky note in the elevator lobby for each floor saying he was taking loads, but that’s about all I saw. Instead it was like a buffet. Login to your favorite hookup site, look for guys 0 miles away and have them come to your room. It was also a lot about private sex parties and gangbangs. The trick was 1) finding them, and 2) getting invited.<\/p>\n Going into it I had hopes of how many guys I’d fuck and how many I’d seed. I got my raw dick in 12 different holes and seeded 4 of them. It’s not bad, but I was hoping for a lot more than that. But it was my first time, and I know how I’d improve those numbers next time…<\/p>\n I was also suprised with how many native Chicago guys wanted to hookup. I guess I expected it to be mostly guys attending IML. When I wanted hole right then and there, it always seemed like the guy was 5 miles away and not at the hotel.<\/p>\n Highlights<\/span><\/p>\n Top three sexual experiences (in no particular order):<\/p>\n It’s interesting that only one of those three involved cumming in a guy’s ass…<\/p>\n Fucking Jarod Steel<\/a> was definitely notable, but not in the top three… Also notable was fucking the young little guy in the backroom of the Eagle<\/a>.<\/p>\n I really liked Lake Shore Drive. I could see myself living on it, which says a lot… I also liked getting out and seeing some Frank Lloyd Wright stuff in Oak Park one afternoon…<\/p>\n Things I’d Do Differently<\/span><\/p>\n I didn’t expect to get things perfect the first time around. I went to see how it would be. But having seen it, there are things I’d do next time to make the most of it…<\/p>\n Next time I go I want to go with a “partner in crime”. Not that that I’d want to be joined at the hip or anything – but just someone to hang out with in the off hours. If it’s a top – someone to share bottoms with, if it’s a bottom someone to fuck when I need a nice wet hole… Nothing too serious, definitely not a pretend boyfriend for the week.<\/p>\n Spend less money. What this past week cost me is a bit crazy. The hotel (and parking) bill was $1,600. Then there was gas money of probably $300+, then Flex for $80, plus food, etc. I guess that’s not all that crazy, but it can be done less expensively and still have just as good of a time. I’d rather put the money toward more leather gear.<\/p>\n Having the partner in crime be a roommate would help a lot – half the room bill. Not driving would help as well. I had never been to Indiana and Illinois, and it had been ages since I was in Ohio and northern Pennsylvania. I’m glad I drove, but don’t feel the need to do it again next time. The stop over at Flex Cleveland was definitely something that could be dropped.<\/p>\n I’d eat better. There were some days when I only had one meal. Or one day my two meals consisted of a roast beef wrap and a big slice of pizza. My intestinal track was a complete mess and I had the runs by the end of the week from not eating properly. Once I had some decent food in me on a regular basis everything went back to normal – so I definitely need to eat better next time. I did lose 3 pounds this past week though.<\/p>\n I’d also skip the last day. There was a nice vibe the last evening, but all in all, it didn’t seem worth it to stay the extra day. However, I did meet the straight, forceful top<\/a> – that was one really good thing that came out of it. He called today to talk… It’s not an anal sex thing with him, but I like where his mind’s at – a mix of desire and resistance…<\/p>\n I’d be more focused on one of the recon<\/a> sites rather than BarebackRT<\/a>. The point of the event is leather and fetish and the guys on BarebackRT are too vanilla.<\/p>\n I’d seek out and go to some sex parties next time as well. There were some guys who were going to two or more a night… Don’t know I’d do that many, but one a night (plus maybe a piss party) would be nice.<\/p>\n Next time I’ll do a lot more watersports… There were enough guys there who liked drinking piss, I really should have done more of that…<\/p>\n I’d force myself to go to all the competition events next time. I felt like I got disconnected from the actual contest and wish I had been more connected. Just a bad choice on my part…<\/p>\n I’d get a haircut before I went. IML just seems to prefer guys with really short hair…<\/p>\n I’d have fewer, but larger bags… I packed completely wrong for getting in and out of the hotel… Need more bags with wheels, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IML is over.
