The 117-degree desert heat was no match for the hands, paddles, belts, straps, brushes, canes, and more, wielded by the guys who attended the inaugural session of Hot Seat Vegas !  The weather really was hot - as in very hot, melting the soles of your shoes hot, being slapped with a hot towel hot - but if anything, this simply kept the more than 150 attendees indoors for plenty of socializing and spanking fun.  Why a new event in Vegas?  As one organizer explained, “We wanted to respond to the community’s desire for there to be an event at a place that was easy to get to, and where everyone who wanted a room could get a room. Having over 150 people attend this first time event was incredibly gratifying and we look forward to an even bigger event next year.”

“Let’s do a roleplay!” Many of us have spoken or heard those words.  Yet, the concept of roleplay may mean different things to different people - and another common refrain is, “I don’t roleplay well because I just can’t act.”  

One of the most fascinating and intriguing parts of our community is the diversity of  relationships and dynamics within it.  One of the most interesting, and yet multifaceted, is that of a “live-in.”
