ALT has been a good experience.   I have been using online dating for some time now and filtering the fakes has never been an issue.

Made one very good friend *Snarky* from going on ALT and thanks to her I have grown a little bit more in the local BDSM Community meeting more new people.

But recently I met a gem..    *Little a*    I had redone my profile to better reflect where I was and then looked for promising profiles and spent an evening sending out mail on ALT.

I heard back very quickly from her, chatted briefly flirted a bit.. Pretty soon I was on phone with her talking while she watch me on webcam do some rope ties on my practice dummy.    Made for a very nice night.

We made plans to meet up..   Dinner and some pool  and just go from there.   Started off a little distant, but by end of dinner, personal space was pretty well gone..  We talked about everything from relationships to kink to movies.

Her friend called her and wanted to go out.   The three of us went to a local gothy night ..   I brought rope >

By end of night I had put her in 2 different chest harnesses , and had her arms pinned back for a bit..   Whole time getting some very nice looks from people in club..  At one point when she was in washroom she got some comments on how sexy the rope was on her

*Segway*  I really liked being watched while I tied *Little a*,  that is something I want to do more of.. and work a bit on showmanship esp with *Little a*

End of night was nice, both did not want to end.  and very nice kiss to cap it all off
Since that night we have seen each other a few times..   A nice trip to art museum,  Dinner with close friends of mine, and later time alone with her

Break out glow in the dark rope of course!

I just could not resist..  I bought 100 feet of it.. should be here soon..

I just recently did my first full suspension on my own. Took a little bit to convert concepetual over to reality but once things got going they flowed well and I was very happy with my first time.

*A* was amazing, I really did not expect that she would be able to stay at all for any lenght of time as it was first time for her as well. In end she was very happy with being suspended and wants to again soon

Made some changes for next time that would be major improvements:

I am much more a fan of MFP than hemp, I just like the feel of it and the colors.  But!!  I did find I had issues using it for the suspension.  Next time I do, I will use hemp, just due to how it bites into it’s self.

Also, I only have 7 feet of ceiling, and almost 2 feet of that is consumed by the block and tackle the ring and more..   so I went off afterwards and bought this ..

I can lift my own weight one handed, and the cleat at the top makes for very quick lock off at the height I want with out trying to hold a cute girl up, and safely tying off the end at right height.
