*Not a translation of my Chinese article.
I know it is a bit cheeky to write two articles for the same experience (see, or rather please don’t read, my Chinese article…) but my Chinese is really laughable and the earlier article reads like a child’s ramblings after a day at Disneyland…. which this article probably won’t be much better but in any event, please let me try and redeem myself with this.
Preamble
My journey into the S&B abyss began four months ago. I have known about the club for many years (thanks Timeout), but fear and scepticism have always held me back from making any real effort to join. However, after the experiences of 20XX, and perhaps with some more years under my belt, I felt I was finally mature enough to confront my inner desires. I also finally understood that with all the security measures and hurdles, S&B is actually the safest place in HK to do so.
The journey to the starting line was not smooth but was definitely fun. From researching the club to getting to know the various members, each step had its challenges and rewards, but more importantly gave me the time to really consider if this is the right place for me. Along the way I was encouraged by the members who were very kind to engage with me and check in on my progress over the months - sadly the Fat that was on me was holding me back and took a while to destroy especially with Xmas and CNY - Fat’s biggest ally!
Having sufficiently lowered Fat’s HP it was now or never since Fat’s next ally, XXXXX, was already making its way. I submitted my application and waited…..
Of course I didn’t make it in straight away! I am after all no Adonis. However, I am really thankful for Big Bro’s response, which was thoughtful and constructive. I had to undergo more trials and work before I finally got the ok, but I won’t bore you with that since it is different for everyone and honestly everything you need to know is on the site.
An analogy that springs to mind is that the whole process resembles the rite of passage someone takes to convert to the Jewish faith, where the rabbis would reject potential converts several times, and only if they remained adamant in their desire to convert would the process begin. Big Bro is my rabbi to whom I will be forever thankful.
Welcome ceremony - Main event
As I made my way to the venue, my nerves were on high alert and neurons were zooming at lightning speed across my brain. Not ashamed to admit that I had the inevitable thoughts of “what am I doing?”, “am I going to lose a kidney tonight?”, “what if it’s all an elaborate scam?”…. Foolish thinking really and I was quickly put at ease by Big Bro, who was firm but friendly. He administered the mandatory safety precautions (e.g. xxxx tests, ID check), I donned a mask and was guided into the venue.
I can’t tell where I am or where anything is but happy voices surrounded me (mainly girls too), which further put me at ease. I was given to my mentor, 小伊貝, and the night truly began. She is funny, gentle and kind (even kind enough to laugh at my dumb nervous jokes!). I could not have asked for a better mentor.
The next hour was everything and more than what I have read, fantasised or thought I knew. Left alone in the room with 小伊貝 (after consent was given of course) she showed me what S&B was for and confirmed my decision to join. With my senses heightened by the mask, every touch and every sound were stronger and louder. I swore to myself I would keep it on all the way through but who am I kidding, I am ultimately an idiot who inevitably succumbed to my inner demons. Once the mask was off, I saw an angel in front of me who once again made me forget any lingering doubt I had.
Back out in the living room, being able to see, I met the other party goers of the evening. Everyone was kind, friendly and made me feel at home. It was surreal to realise that I am finally here, amongst the Swingers and the Bangers. I also definitely did not imagine I would get a masterclass on Taiwanese sugar apples or 番鬼老荔枝 but thanks to 阿喬, I now know there are two varieties…. Did you?
The night progressed and 小伊貝 did not stop with her mentor duties - the pefect mentor through and through. We had a nice briefing followed by Q&A where I bombarded her with questions and she patiently responded to each and every one - she even set me up with Nina.
Nina - What can I say that hasn't already been said. She was easy to talk to and it was incredible looking at the HK skyline with her. Time and energy unfortunately was not on our side and I hope I can challenge this legend (IMHO) again.
Just like that my first S&B event was in the books. Was I the perfect first timer? I can't say I am. But the club was definitely perfect to me. I have finally joined the not-so-secret organisation. I am finally at the starting line.
