- I whent also and had a great experience. It was a little scarry at
- the beginning as there were few women in the audience. But the
- Players did a good job of making a 'safe space'. I think that it is
- really smart having it take a long time to get started. That way
- people who are uncomforatable with the whole thing have an
- opportunity to leave if they want and people who are looking for a
- thrill get bored and leave... This is really smart. Anyway I just
- wanted to encourage other women to stick it out. The last part is
- really nice and loving touch, in the nude with the people there..
- Both, people in the audience and the Players....
