We are sitting at the table in the dining hall, going over the description in the catalog of the different events that will be taking place that weekend at camp. One that stood out, but seemed impossible to do..was the objectification room. I figured though, that I'd go in as a voyeur and see what happened. It was to take place Saturday night, but I didn't really give it much more thought.
Over the next few days...we kept hearing little things about it. Jokes about what people would like to do with the 'objects' in the objectification room. I still didn't really have a clear idea of what the room was about. 'Objectification' means people are treated as objects. But, to me, that means tables, foot stools, chairs....even lamps. But, with the giggles that were attributed to that room, I started thinking that maybe I was wrong.
Friday morning, My husband mentioned to me after his shower that I should participate in the room. That it had always been a fantasy of mine and I should give it a thought.
What? I hadn't even allowed myself to think about participating in something so......intense. Especially since it was our first experience of coming to an event like this.
But, I thought about it. I looked at the picture from last year, in the catalog. I read the description again. I asked Fyre. She had seen it last time and gave me some more details about it. I started becoming interested and more curious. Could I really do something like that? Of course not. It was too extreme. Even for me. It was for the swingers and the nympho's.
The next day, I found myself at the workshop that explained everything that was going on that night. They saved the objectification room for last. Savoring the moment. I could tell that this was a favorite of the presenters of the workshop. Later I found out that they had created this idea of an objectification room.
And after I heard about all the details, I could see why they were savoring. Naughty, naughty, naughty. This was a dream come true.
Details – The objectification room has 5 beds in it. A veil is hanging from the roof and hanging over the beds in such a way that ½ of them are blocked from view. People will lay nude on the beds with just their lower halves exposed. There will be a sign on the veil that says what you can do to the object and what you can't do to the object. At the voyeur side of the room, there will be a guard/monitor. This person will make sure that the people using the objects are using safer sex techniques: condoms, lube, gloves, dental dams, etc. There will also be a person behind the veil that will take care of the objects. The objects will have a bell that they can ring if they need anything and she will take care of them.
Well, there is one of my fears that is laid to rest. Safety. A fantasy of mine that I never thought I could live out because of details....is being offered.
I asked them if they still needed objects. She told me that a lot of people had expressed interest, but she wouldn't know until 9:30pm. The room was due to open at 10pm.
I started asking around. I talked to My husband. At 7pm I started looking for the creators of the room to see if I could sign up as a back-up. They passed me around for a little bit and I almost chickened out. The told me how to make up my sign for the room, but wouldn't give me any hints as to what to put on the sign. That frustrated me because I had no clue what to expect and they weren't helping at all. I made the sign, turned it in, and waited. Right before I was due to show up at 9:30, I sat on a set of steps and chatted with My husband. I asked him all the 'what ifs' that were running through my head.
