Unbelievable.

There are currently 101 parties scheduled in Chicago for this weekend on BBRTS, and at least half of them appear to be lone cumdumps attempting to set up mass breedings for themselves. One of them has over 80 registered to attend. This reminds me of the small towns where I live that are barely big enough for a stoplight yet have five churches - there’s a disconnect between supply and demand.

EVERY party on BBRT - no matter the city or event - seems to be a bottom in search of loads. Hope you have a  cum-filled weekend in Chicago @ErosWired!

I see more fetish parties for guys who like to admire and be admired in their gear (but not have sex) where I live. I haven't the Chicago listing for this weekend, but a leather party in Chicago even on a non-IML weekend would likely be an actual orgy.

Don't forget to cruise the hallways and stairwells in the wee hours .... the action can be (or used to be?) truly breathtaking !!! 

If you're "entertaining" in your room, the doors were just left open, so guys prowling the hallways could just look in.  I don't know if that's still the case, but .... 

And don't forget to leave a couple of bucks for the housekeeping folks each morning.  The staff usually loves the IML guys every year for their courtesy and generosity.

Indeed, how can so many bottoms (dozens & hundreds) each of them expect to get multiple tops when bottoms outnumber tops (5 -1) to begin with???

5 to 1 is rather generous. I'd estimate it's more like, in 100 gay men, 80 are bottoms or "versatile bottoms" that never actually top, 10% are versatile, 5% are versatile tops who actually prefer topping, and maybe 5% are tops who don't bottom. If that many.

Host hotel for IML is always the best place to stay! Same goes for MAL as well...

All I can say so far is… Insanity.

I am on the Red Line coming back from Steamworks (more on that in a moment) a bit after 11:00pm on Thursday, and at this writing there are 32 Quick Connect ads on BBRTS. Thirty-two. I took five loads lsst night - none of them from IML attendees. I had to go down and escort three of them up to the room.

Steamworks, for my first visit, was a disappointment. I left an hour early before my time expired. By my count, I was penetrated (if you can call three of the limp noodle stuffings penetrations) 12 times. Only three of them were legitimate fuckings. I only brought three Tops to climax, and one of those was solely with the handjob he requested.

I got room 117, which lay immediately adjacent to a fuck bench alcove, but right outside my door was also a long bench that was used by the roomless to congregate. On at least three occasions I was ass-up on my bed only to discover two guys fucking right full in front of my doorway. The last time, so many guys had congregated there that I literally could not get out my door. I had to raise my voice and ask them to please clear space so I could exit. They did this grudgingly. Utter rudeness. I did avail myself of the fuck bench, which accounted for most of my action; the sling, nada, the steam room, not so much as a grope.

And the mirrors - dear God, the place is like a House of Mirrors at a circus. I nearly collided with a wall a half dozen times.

All in all, it seems like a place best visited with friends, and not really suited to the isolated individual. Frankly, I like The Works Indianapolis better even if it is - and perhaps because it is - a smaller facility.

I agree 👍 💯!

Thank you for the updates. Your stories are fascinating. I look forward to hearing more about this coming weekend. Is "The Works" better than "Club Indy"?

I should add that what really cheesed me about the mob fucking in front of my door wasn’t the fact that none of them were fucking me - it was the fact that the play space with the fuck bench on the other side of the partition from them was empty.   The walls enclosing the space on two sides are glory holes, for fuck’s sake. The whole thing smacked of a lack of imagination.

I've noticed a trend where guys insist on fucking standing up, and won't move even 6 inches from where the fuck was initiated. If you do decide to move even just enough that the bottom has something to lean up against or hang onto,  move enough not to block traffic, or in a park move somewhere with decent cover to avoid potential arrest the fuck is over. If you happen to hookup with one of these kind of guys don't even suggest moving somewhere more comfortable like a bed, sling,  fuck horse, or etc. they aren't going to do it. I have tried, and it is equally true of tops and bottoms. I would not have expected that it would be a problem in a piggy city like Chicago or among the kind pigs that would travel to IML.

This is why I give thanks daily that I am a top.  I am having a great weekend...

They’re different. I prefer The Works because their rooms are better laid out and they have a more mixed, laid-back clientele, less pretty-boy posing. Club Indy does, however, have pool facilities that The Works lacks.

Yes, we need more tops! And when I say "we", I mean "I".  🙂

I’m now back home from IML. It was…an unusual experience. I would like to report that I had a great time…but in honesty, I didn’t really enjoy it that much. I realized some things.

I realized that although I enjoy servicing such men, I am not part of their leather culture. I spent the entire time walking around feeling as though I was on the outside looking in. I could tell there was a sense of excitement about something in the air, but it didn’t seem to have anything to do with me.

I realized that at my age, with my body, I simply don’t look appealing in a harness, especially not when surrounded by men who do. But it’s not as though anyone noticed what I looked like to begin with - the sheer number of men in attendance, coupled with the staggering variety of options available at the Leather Mart, made it practically impossible for anyone to stand out.

Importantly, I realized that despite the fact that I was trained to service Men, the sheer mass of available ass out in the world means that I’m really not needed. You can’t really appreciate the reality of it until you find yourself surrounded by scores of other bottoms all angling for cock - when there are 37 QuickConnect ads on BBRTS for the same hotel, and 20 guys all trying to round up all the available Tops for their own private gangbang.

If there were supposed to be tables where people left information about open sex parties, I never found them. So I never ended up at one. And because I’m Autistic, I couldn’t really go to any of the big parties because I can’t tolerate the kind of flashing lights and deafening noise you get on a dance floor.

Steamworks was weirdly disappointing as a bathhouse experience, to the point that I don’t think I would ever go back there.

I took in all the booths at the Leather Mart, aghast at the inflated prices on most of the merchandise. Not that it mattered - there was little there of interest to me. I found it odd that do many booths were trying to sell so many harnesses - to guys who had already arrived wearing one. I did see a couple of floggers that no sane BDSM practitioner would ever permit to be used in a scene. In the end all I got was an ergonomic cock ring and a couple of handkerchiefs. The latter of which, incidentally, I had to hunt for because only one booth in the entire Mart was carrying them. It makes me wonder if the apps have finally put the last nail in the coffin of the hanky code.

The balance of my IML time I spent in my hotel room on the 8th floor with the door wide open, hosting. Between this and the one evening at Steamworks, over five nights I was fucked a total of 54 times, fucked by dildo an additional three times, gave head three times, gave two handjobs, and (bizarrely) took a guy’s load on my belly by frottage.

I met a couple of fascinating people, one of whom is a MtF trans ‘shemale’ (her term) who a couple of times brought men into my room to fuck me - at least one session of which she videoed - and fucked me herself three different times. The other was a remarkable Top full of intriguing stories about his life, but what made him amazing was that, somehow, he was able to use my nipples to bring me to multi climaxes. Nobody has ever been able to do that, my nips aren’t even wired that way. I have no idea how he did it.

So, I can’t complain that I didn’t get fucked at IML. But my experience was not like that described by other people, and I suspect that IML is simply not an event for people like me who aren’t socially fluid or already plugged into the related networks. I probably won’t go again, but at least I gave it a try.

Of COURSE you're needed.  You're talents and abilities are every bit as needed as any other guy's.  We need each other, every single one of  us is needed.

Those tables used to be scattered around the Mart area, and if they're no longer there, I'm sorry I even mentioned it.

Per the hankie's, I haven't seen one here in SoFL since I got here 11,12 years ago.  Given that I don't see colors all that well, and usually trying to discern the colors took place at night in some bar, that made them all the more useless for me.  To me, Hunter Green and Hunter Brown look identical.  

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy IML as much as you thought you might.  Maybe you'll give it a second chance one of these years.
