The Pound
8 years ago
On Friday night I went to The Pound in Sydney. It was quite a fun dance party. We were on the top floor of the Burdekin Hotel in Oxford street. The venue had a fursuit area and bar so it was ready for us furries. The event was the most adult themed party that I've been too. Being its own event at its own venue allowed The Pound to be much wilder than the usual dance parties that furry conventions have.
As a furry and pup play party it had members of the pup play community attend. Most of the pups had at least a pup hood on. The pup hoods were a variety of makes some made from leather, some made of neoprene and others of rubber. As a furry, I have an interest in pup play at least from an outsider perspective. I appreciate the artistry and the self-expression of the pup community. There is a cross over between furries and the pup community with many being both furry and into pup play. Many of the pups were decked out in latex catsuits as were as some of the furries. The rubber pups had hand paws that were more like that of a dog than fursuit hand paws.
It was definitely a kink friendly party. It offered a different view of the fandom. Jockstraps and harnesses were the unofficial uniforms of the night. Gay lovers were openly kissing and cuddling. I was in the right place and felt comfortable among the revellers. I'm still a shy dude so I didn't go cuddling random people there or anything. I loved seeing the acceptance of LGBT relationships. I have never been out to a gay club before and I felt I didn't have to be so guarded about my sexual preference.
Some fursuiters were there as well making it a mixed crowd. There was even a let's just say anatomically correct fursuit there. I thought it was brave of him wearing something so provocative in public. Even among an accepting community as the furries, such things are very much taboo. It was my first time seeing that hidden side of the fandom in person.
I loved the liberated vibe and the sexual expression of the attendees because I am used to hiding my own sexuality and wearing a mask of being straight and basically asexual. I wish I was more at ease with my own sexuality sometimes. I want to be able to show affection to someone I love. Just going to something like this is a step in the right direction. I look forward to the next one.
