PlayPit in London

[AirmaxUK]

For those that used to visit PlayPit in London - this should bring back a few memories:

Would love to know what became of these guys - I do still remember a few of them from when I used to visit.

Thanks for those links. I used to patronise the Play pit and the Fort back in the day. They had a full on sleaziness that places like the Vault and SBN, good as they are, don't match. Some might say "thank goodness for that" but not me

I once did a porn shoot in the play pit, London... my first and only visit there though

Maybe I am romanticising somewhat, but the thing I remember about Playpit was how nothing seemed to matter - shape, size, age - everyone seemed to get off.  And I remember the staff joined in. First time I was there, I got a welcoming I won't for get in one of the cubicles. My only regret is that back then I wasn't as far along my BB journey as now - so I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have.

Perhaps SOP (Underground) should put that elevated big black mattress inside the little pool they make.. would be hot.

What you describe is exactly how I felt about The Fort. That refreshing lack of attitude, was what made it so special.

I never got to Playpit, but I’ve seen the videos. Wouldn’t mind playing with some of the regulars.

Some guys used to be on Recon and BBRT. Even Gaydar! But lost touch over time.
There was a big overlap with Fort, Hoist, Hardon, saunas and cruising.
But there were also new guys and married dicks to ride raw.
I had a PlayPit+ card for specialist nights ;-)

I had forgotten about PlayPit+ nights!

God, that brings back memories. I never went to Playpit to "play" but I did visit it once because I was doing a bit of porn camerawork around 2010, and the director was going to shoot something there. But don't think we ever did film anything there in the end. I remember hearing about Playpit +, a night specifically for poz guys which I used to DREAM of attending but at that time I was still too frightened to actually do. As for the people in the videos you posted, I know one of them, Drew Marks, who did a few videos back around 2010 but not any more.

I just don't feel like the sexclub BB scene is as exciting as it was 10 years ago. Maybe that's my own personal experience though. But some of the best places have closed, and I don't think Berlin quite has the same vibe as it used to.

Interested to know which one is Drew Marks... The tall guy with the Mohawk?

Berlin has some hidden gems - the tourist scene is something of a moneymaking circus these days. I prefer to go when it is not BLF/Folsom/etc and seek out some of the more offbeat backwaters where the locals hang out.  That strategy has led to some of the very best experiences I've had in Berlin.

Drew Marks is the one with the white backwards cap.  I also met one of the bottoms too - the young lad with dark hair - his porn name is James Allen I think.

The only time I went to Berlin "off-season" was in 2012 and I went in October, I think a week or 2 after Folsom. It was dead - every bar I went into was quiet, with locals seemingly dispersed over the numerous venues that were open. So I would be eager to know what would be a good place to go and when, If this fucking virus ever goes away!

I moved to Vauxhall in front of the (Hoist!) with my boyfriend when I was 19. For me & my circle of friends, we were there for the clubs and the sesh. I always rawwed but I only fucked in relationships. When friends told me about BBRT & all the parties that were going on around me, I was gobsmacked. I've never been into fisting/slamming & twinks were not my thing  (I'd just like to add that I don't shame other peoples kinks, lifestyles, races, age etc),  5+ years later & several property changes across Lambeth, I now live outside London & I'm the complete opposite, just wanting to make up for the the PNP parties/group fucks that I missed out on. Now I just want to meet twinks & take them to these clubs and watch them get destroyed!

Fort and Playpit were fun but I was just starting to explore the bb world back then. I remember going with a mate to a poz night that was run at the Fort in 2009. Everyone had to buy a ticket in advance, had to confirm that they were poz and had to enter the club at a given time. I was blown away at seeing all the guys fucking bb. I was hooked after that.
