My experience at Florida Moonshine got me thinking about public play. I don’t mean multi-player scenes, when everybody in the room is involved, but two people playing with each other in a room where most of the others are doing somethin else – playing, chatting, drinking, whatever.

It’s an odd sensation. I’m not sure how I feel about it. Not embarrassed, certainly: I don’t mind other people watching me play, if they want to. At the same time, there’s an undercurrent of actually imposing my scene on others. What if they didn’t want to see my play, but had to endure it, because I happened to get spanked in the same room? That’s quite cringe-worthy for me.

Anybody know what I mean? How do you feel about playing in public?
