I actually keep half expecting to run into one of my professors at a kink event. Admittedly, since I’m an ‘older’ student I don’t think it would be as awkward for me now as it would be for most students, but I’m still not completely sure how I would react in that situation.
I think I’d have to say hello, at least. I mean it’s not like I’m the least bit shy about my activities or anything! (I do know that I would *not* speak of it at school, anyway.)
:D just :D
Reminds me when my Roommate and I went to a sex-shop to buy a pink dildo for our Christmas-tree-top (yeah we did use it for that! for 2 years! we’re both pagans and worship Frey)
One of our friends (who is both he and she, but that day was identifying he) was working at the sex-shop that afternoon, and he was so flushed seeing us that he babbled about everything and then asked us if we’ve started dating and forgot to take out the trial batteries :P (btw we’ve never dated, just lived together for 3,5 years, but many thought we did….funny thing)
That was an interesting story. I wish people would write a book of anecdotes just like that. It’d be like a Helen Boyd book but possibly less crossdressery.
This has never happened to me before, but I can definitely see this being a thing that would freak a person out. I’m sure Anwar will be plenty nice about it.
This has happened to me more than once but the funniest was the play party that I helped another Mistress spank her male sub. Then the next day at work who comes walking down the hall but the male sub. He worked in the next department. We both did the “eyeball” then he said “well this is weird, you had your hands all over my ass last night.” We just kept to our own departments when at work and pretended like we didn’t know each other.
An older man I met at a sex club said he’d only met a coworker once at one of these shindigs. The co-worker said, “What are you doing here?” and the guy replied, “Same thing you are!” Duh. Met at a Pride event once the man that my husband “played” with at a bi-night event that he went to alone. There was a little awkwardness. Not really a Miss Manners guide for that kind of thing.
Haha, yet to run into kinky people in plain sight, but did run into my boss when I walked into the hardware store to get chains for new leash and collar – I chose to find a sudden interest in kitchen items until she left XD
When I run into people I know through kink, I’ll usually be vague but honest about how I know them and hope for the best.
It really helps that I have a slightly militant belief that no one has the right to judge me for being a fulfilled person, and I like baiting other people to slut-shame (for the record, I have a lot of faith in humanity from this practice; more often than not, people don’t squick or even give me a sidelong glance, unless they’re curious).
I remember once when working at Suncoast, a current friend and former elementary school teacher of mine came up to the counter with a PILE of porn. He recognized me the instant we made eye-contact. Most awkward transaction EVER. (Made all the worse, because he had one of the old anti-theft boxes, so I had to wrestle with it a good five minutes while we tried to make small talk).
He later told me about the time he had to sell his 17-year-old cousin a dildo while working at Spencers. Life’s full of those, isn’t it?
Wow. I don’t really have any of those stories from personal experience yet. But my mom used to tell me a story about how she became friends with someone she was in the military with. During the time my mom served, it was back before the “don’t ask, don’t tell” thing was in place, so basically if someone found out you were gay then you were done for. There was one time during the time she spent in the military that she went down to a gay bar and saw one of the women who was a lower rank than her down there and the girl completely flipped out thinking she was a spy for the military to see who was gay (because they actually did send people to do that). Long story short my mom had to go explain that she was gay too and they both became really good friends. In fact they were such good friends that people were starting to expect they were lesbians so they had to tell people they were sisters. The funniest part is that my mom is and always has been extremely pale white and the other chick was a dark Hispanic woman. Lol
Delicious Awkwardities! :P
Oh god, Chris looks almost exactly like one of my professors. Even their ponytails are about the same length.

I think if I were a professor with students old enough to visit such places a, I would try to find one a couple of towns over…
haha, awesome!
Lmao. They are both too cute.

Awe, poor Chris. No sweetie, I doubt Anwar is going to be a dick about it, he doesn’t seem the type, but I understand the anxiety. <3

Love the awkward turtle moment of it all
That terrified look of recognition, for me, says it all.

Ah, poor Chris. I feel your pain dude (minus the whole kink extraordinaire bit though :/)

I once ran into someone I knew in a sex toy shop. I knew her from my grandma’s church…
Harsh, Anwar! Geez!
Oooooh I love these moments.
