New Bondage Club whips up a frenzy at UCCS

Student clubs at UCCS have focused on everything from politics, to academics, to even hating on Nickelback (and rightly so). A club based on kinks, however, offers something racy and controversial for our student networking.

Felicia Backsmack started Bottoms Up after browsing through the clubs list at the ROAR Office. None of the clubs offered seemed to fit her. "The options were terribly vanilla," she said as she slapped a black riding crop into her gloved hand. "SPLAT looked promising, until I realized it was yet another club for video gamers. Apparently, there are a lot of lonely nerds here."

The bondage club, as mentioned on their website (smuccs.com), seeks to bring together UCCS students who share a common interest in bondage, S and M or other sensation play. "We are not a hook-up spot," insisted Jeremy Spokthin, vice president of Bottoms Up.

"More often than not, the withholding of 'carnal relations' can be a key feature of many scenes. Uh...can you print the word 'sex' in your paper? Sex. Yes, sex is often withheld. Sexy sex."

The officers of Bottoms Up recommend that students looking for an easy lay hit up one of the many "meat markets" featured downtown.

"Or they can join the knitting club," added Backsmack. "I hear there are some real freaks over there."

Spokthin says the membership list for Bottoms Up is small at the moment, with 11 confirmed names. "I get the feeling a lot of the students here are shy about their kinks. The Springs doesn't exactly foster an environment of sexual diversity, but I hope to change that."

Two weeks ago at the Club Fair, Bottoms Up caused a stir by handing out nipple clamps and fluffy-cuffs to any student who stopped by their table. The 10th member to sign up won a pleather ball gag, but said winner was later dismissed from class when he showed up wearing his lascivious prize.

"We got a lot of flak at the fair," Backsmack explained. "For every person genuinely interested, there was another who asked us lots of rude questions. Some of the Christian clubs sent their members in pairs to chastise us. Honestly, all the tension got me really excited."

Bottoms Up, however, is open to all students (over the age of 18) from all backgrounds and majors. "I don't want to dissuade anyone with an open mind from checking us out," Backsmack said. "Even Christians are welcome. After all, flagellation was a common practice in the church, as well pillorying - one of my favorites."
