Good News: SOP reopening 23rd Jan

Alright, but showers would come in handy also on other nights than just sop. At Kinky's in Antwerp (now closed) they were used all the time. As for room, it would require a redesign of the back area indeed, but it would be possible.  

I don't disagree that they would be well used, but it would take up a lot of the existing space in an area that's usually jam-packed on piss nights. Bear in mind there's only 1 toilet stall and the length of the trough when it comes to space there.

 

I love playing in that area towards the end of the night - rolling around on the wet floor while getting more piss over me and sucking cocks that you don't know where they've already been til they cum all over my face! I can happily let my inner slut pig roam free at SOP!

 

Oops, should I have kept that in my head ? 🐽🐽🤣🤣🤣

yeah, it can be a hot area soaking in cum, piss, spit and beer, that certainly shouldn't change 🙂

I put together a Beginners Guide to SOP based on some of the comments posted here and some of my own observations. There is reference to an activity that's not allowed on here.  Also reference to drugs use that would usually only be in the Backroom section of the Forum. Again it's in the context of the venue's rules.

I hope mods will allow mention of it in this context as it is part of the rules of the venue. I appreciate though it may be edited out but please don't give me points!

 

BEGINNERS GUIDE TO SOP

Entrance is via the grey door,  next to metal stairs. Postcode is N1 9SD.
Go downstairs, pay (cash only), say yes to a binbag (handy for wet clothes when you leave), and yes to a little plastic bag to keep your cloakroom ticket and cash dry!

The bar does take contactless as well as cash.

Go inside, and to the left of the bar, there are some seats that are used as the changing area. When you're changed, take your stuff back to the cloakroom, and they'll give you your cloakroom ticket 

If you're a smoker, you need to get dressed again (or at least suitably cover up!) and go back outside to the street. Just say to the cloakroom guy why you need your stuff back temporarily.

Dress code: there is none, although footwear must be worn. I've seen everything from full business suits to full rubber/leather/pup fetish to naked and everything in between. Whatever you wear (no cross-dressing though!) you won't look out of place. I would say the majority of guys are just in socks, jock and harness or sports kit, but by the end of the night most people are naked!

For a newbie, I would suggest you get a drink from the bar and just observe for a bit to get a feel for the place and what's going on. You can play anywhere in the venue, and the only thing that's not officially allowed is scat, although I have seen it done discretely! 

It's highly unlikely that anyone will just randomly approach you and start pissing over you. They'll usually give you some sort of indication that that's what they want to do, and if you're not interested, just say no! Although you do get the occasional pushy person, I think it's the most attitude free venue I know of.

In the main room with the bar, there are stools around the edge of the room and ledges to leave your drink. There is a large paddling pool in the centre. The seats and beer kegs to the right of the bar seem to be where guys get a little bit more hard core - I've seen fisting going on there!

Off the main room are two areas - a dark room and a not quite so dark room that has the sling. If you're using the sling, please don't monopolise it. In the dark room, you are more likely to get caught in the crossfire by random sprays of piss.

The toilets are next to where you got changed. There are no showers, so bring a small towel and maybe a pack of baby wipes to clean up when you're ready to leave. And please don't spray deodorant until you get back to the top of the stairs or until after you've left as it really carries with it being such a small venue.

The toilet area is quite a small area, and all sorts go on in there! It can get quite crowded, especially towards the end of the night when guys that haven't yet cum want to shoot their load before leaving.

There is a metal trough and one stall (officially only one person allowed in the stall at any one time). You'll often see pint glasses in the trough waiting to be filled, guys rolling around on the piss covered floor, fucking, fisting and group spraying, to name but a few activities. It's here that you may see some surreptitious "dirty play" going on, disguised as a rimming session!

Usually the first couple of hours are relatively quiet but I think on re=opening day it will be busy from the start. In the past, there always seemed to be two "shifts." There would be the guys who came in towards the start and would leave early evening, and then the guys who would arrive around teatime and stay until late, with a bit of a crossover between the two shifts.

Couple of extra things to mention...

Poppers are sold at the bar, and condoms and lube are available free of charge, although the majority of guys BB*. If you don't BB stick to your principles and don't feel pressurised. 

Also, if chems are your thing, not only are they banned from the club, you'd be unlikely to get away with taking anything in the venue as it's such an open place with nowhere to be unobserved. If seen by the management you will be reported to the Police.

If you do decide to go, then let me know, and I'll keep an eye out for you, so at least there's one person you can talk to!

I think that just about covers things, but if you do have any questions, then just ask away. Feel free to  message me privately.

*the guide was written originally for a different group but the point still stands!

My top tips for SOP are:

• Bring a complete change of clothes including footwear.
• Maybe bring a washcloth so you can dampen it and wipe yourself down.
• Bring a small towel to dry/wipe yourself. 
• I believe Kings Cross Station has public showers (for a fee). Other options are local Gyms if you have a membership. 
• I know someone who wears total coverage rubber and drives there and back in it. He stops at Heston services on the way home to shower and change out of it. I think it is something of a thrill for him to walk through Heston in full rubber. 
• Usually the cloakroom guys put all your stuff in a black bin liner while it is stored.  They usually let you take the bin liner home to keep your wet gear separate but I always bring my own just in case... 
• Consider where you'll keep your stuff when in the venue. The guys in the cloakroom usually have some small ziplock bags that will keep your cloakroom ticket dry and hold a small amount of cash. The bar takes contactless, so I use my Apple Watch for payments.
• The free lube sachets are pretty awful water based which washes off (especially at SOP). Bring your own.  
• Wash/rinse your gear as soon as you can - it WILL go nasty very quickly.
• Some expensive Nike sneakers (notably Nike Air Max Plus TN) have adhesives which come unstuck when soaked in piss. Rinse them thoroughly as soon as possible to avoid them coming unstuck and falling to bits.
• I've found that leather seems to go hard and dry after a soaking at SOP. If I do wear anything like a harness, I put waterproofing on the leather, but rubber is a much better option. Cheaper gear with plated steel rivets/poppers/eyelets/rings go rusty. Rinse them asap afterwards or get good quality ones made from stainless steel.   

A personal request - please don't drown yourself in a ton of Lynx/Axe when you get changed : it is a small venue and it ruins the atmosphere for everyone else. 

Personally I've found that rinsing off using the sink in the bathroom and then towelling off is more than enough to get me home on the train without anyone noticing. Not that I'd care if they did! Although one time I do remember some people I know from work got on the train after a football match at Wembley as I was on my way home from SOP, rather wrecked. 

Lastly, a plea: please don't hog the sling or pool! There's only one of each and we all want to have a go...

 

 

Here's my personal request - if you go there don't just stand around watching, get your knob out and start pissing. Or kneel down with your mouth open. Or both.

Yes indeed, anyone at the 23rd January SOP reopening wants to share how it was? any good bb action?

Yeah, I went... Was there early as I thought it might be busy. It wasn't as busy as some of the birthday specials I remember, but it was busy enough to be fun and not so busy as to drive anxieties about crowds. They had their inflatable pool, but no sling set up in the darkroom. There was a bit of a slow start as the floor remained dry to begin with - I think everyone was still socialising and catching up. I saw and spoke to a lot of guys I haven't seen around in a couple of years. In terms of cruising and play, it seemed a little more cliquey and not quite the free-for-all that I remember, but then it is the first one and guys may just be settling back into it.

Many thanks for the report, AirmaxUK!  I hope it will pick up and get as wild again as it was before. Was thinking that pissing (or cumming) straight onto a face mask should be a very hot experience for the guy wearing it. Not sure though whether that mask would then still count as the required obligatory face mask.. 🙂

Thanks for what seems like a pretty objective report! After being so excited last week about going I couldn't make it after all. I'm definitely going this weekend 🤞🤞🤞🤞

How was it last week? And is it open tues as well as sun?

Im headed to SOP this Sunday 13th Feb - my second visit since reopening as I've been kinda busy. Would be really awesome to meet other BZ guys. Message me on here or add yourself on my BBRT Party Ad if you're planning on going.

I'm going tomorrow! I've been saying that since it's re-opened but tomorrow I actually willl. Whatever happens to try and put me off-track will be ignored. I'll add to your party ad on BBRT (same profile name). Hoping to receive some gifts - knowingly or otherwise!

Absolutely agree - you need to make an effort and get involved to have fun - unless your "thing" is pure voyeurism 🤣.. 

 

I know it can be awkward for a shy newbie who hasn't been before to know what to do at places such as this , but grab a drink from the bar, have a wander around for a few minutes to see what's going on (it really won't need any longer than that) and, in the way @fatbottom suggests, just go for it!
