RIP Backstreet. Now where?

[poundland]

I already miss Backstreet. Where are my leather / fetish pigs going now? 
 

[Spunkinmyarse]

Awwww- I’m not into fetish, but I do think it’s a shame that the leather thing seems to be dying.  It’s a great look- so much more sexy than rubber, which imo doesn’t look good on anyone. Is the Bunker bar in Hoxton picking up the slack at all?

I’ll miss Backstreet too. I had some great times there when they used to host Buff on Wednesday nights (naked is my thing rather than fetish). In fact, I think I can safely say that Backstreet is where I was truly able to get over myself, lose my inhibitions, and become the proud cumdump I am today. The fact that it was in east London helped (Essex based here)- now there’s really nowhere east of the City to cater for the needs of us sluts.

Much the same how I felt when The Fort closed. I lost my inhibitions in there. And in a darkroom that black I was never going to find them again!

I’m trying to find a place like Backstreet in London. Possibly Bunker Bar? Backstreet was an education. It was a place that felt like home. My first few visits were fairly safe affairs, then I felt more into it and a cop friend forced me to swallow his load. A few visits later I was fucking a guy in the toilets and he pissed over me which began another fascination. I’d always been safe but one night I found myself being fucked and took my first raw load which led me further down the slippery slope. I was upgraded into the brotherhood a few years later and revisited there reborn as a pozpig and it was fantastic to just bend over in the dark and feel my rubbered ass get unzipped by fellow rubber pigs and accept their loads no question. Being in a throng with poppered up pigs was heaven, and able to call most of them ‘brother’ was even hotter.

Backstreet was one of the most famous places, but there are others - and even new ones around that deserve our support. 

I haven't been yet, but a newly opened venue is The Lord Clyde in Deptford (9 Wotton Road, SE8 5TQ)

Description from [think before following links] [think before following links] https://visitgay.london/10662/the-lord-clyde/

A hot new gay cruising events bar in Deptford, South London, based at the Lord Clyde pub.

A host of special nights includes Punishment Block, every Friday, for man-to-man CP/spanking in a safe environment; Sunday Social for a chilled evening of retro songs from the 70s to noughties, with hot cruising downstairs; Come2Daddy, London’s first and original home of Daddy Lovers; Leather – a night for leather and fetish fans; Game, for guys who take their Sports kit seriously; CP spanking introduction Kandy Stripes, for Crossdressers, Transvestites and Transexuals and their friends and allies; Worship – for like-minded men who love rimming and know how to take it to the next level; and Butt Naked – which needs no explanation!

Someone's already mentioned Bunker, which has a range of themed events but they aren't very strict about the theme or dress code.  Some events overlap as well. 

Central Station in Kings Cross has it's infamous Underground Club basement cruise and play space.  They have a variety of special interest fetish clubs like Pants, SOP, Horse Fair, Skinheads, Sweet Wednesday, Collared, Shoot, Gearbound, Feet on Friday, Sneax on Saturday, and more. All these events are run by independent people, not by the venue, so they tend to be quite focused on their themes. I can't speak for others, but when I run events there, we don't let anyone in who's not into the party "just for a look" or "just to cruise" as we want to keep the event a safe space for the fetish community.  

A lot of the smaller places don't have big advertising budgets, like Recon do, and events are run by volunteers. They rely on word-of-mouth recommendations and reputation instead - which is why I mention them here and encourage others to do so too.

Does SM Gays still run? I wondered what happened after the Hoist closed.

[Guest]

It's tragic that Backstreet has gone, especially since after years of neglect they had recently made a little more effort to promote themselves and meet customers' needs, instead of just living in the past.

SM Gays is at the Bunker every month. Although dont expect a huge amount of excitement. There are other themed evenings. Check out the website. Underground Bar is back, and once I get a monkeypox vaccination (which may not be anytime soon) i will head down to Deptford to try out the Lord Clyde.

It's been a while since I've been to SOP but that comment is enough to make me want to get on a train this weekend to the capital

Always looking for places when I visit London, can you describe what it’s like, layout etc?

The ground floor has a small bar and a balcony open to the lower ground, which is the main space,. The play porn, there is an open area, fuck bench, sling and dark room. The crowd is mainly mature men

[JamesL100]

Well the mature crowd can go largely for sex, just like Backstreet. What is entry charge?
