Post a BDSM/kink activity you’re curious about and would like to try.

I had to think about this prompt quite a bit because in my almost 20 years of BDSM, there aren’t many activities that I’ve wanted to try, that I haven’t already tried before. I had a good think for a few days but I finally managed to come up with something:

Sub hunts.

What is a sub hunt? Think hide and seek for grown-ups, and consequences for the subbies who get caught! Also, unlike your ex, the submissive actually wants you to chase and capture them!

I won’t lie, I’ve read some sub hunt erotica before now that has really, really turned me on. I have also played a game of hide and seek in the local woods with my husband, that had some very real “consequences” when we got home!

But how does a normal sub hunt go?

Unlike the naval operations (a coincidence that always makes me smile!), a sub hunt is a gathering of Dominants and submissives – or “Hunters” and “prey” – on typically private property. The property is also normally a wooded area of some sort.

Sub hunts play into our more primal desires: to hunt, or be hunted. To chase, or be chased. In a sub hunt though, and unlike the dating game, everyone who partipates consents to playing by the rules. There are no mind games here – only a mutually fun, mutually satisfying game.

Rules typically include fairly logical things, for example: whether sex is allowed, how long the Hunter will keep the prey for, whether the prey is permitted to climb trees (safety first!) and any safewords in the event of actual distress. Also, no (harmful) weapons or hunt dogs are used – nobody is actually hunting anyone! Rope, cuffs, vibrators and such, however, are typically a matter of however much the Hunter can carry!

Once everybody is ready and the rules are set, the prey is given a head start – typically ten minutes or so – to run off and hide. How the prey work is very much down to the individual: some might prefer to hide themselves alone, whereas others might prefer to work as a group and act as a lookout for one another. 

Once the time is up, the Hunters set off to find the prey with whatever rules previously agreed being the rules for both the hunt and upon capture of a prey. The prey do not know who they will be caught by, or how they might be handled upon capture – and that’s all part of the fun!

Hunters, too, might choose to work together, and there’s normally no rule to say that a prey working alone can’t be hunted by a group. It’s not the Hunters’ fault is a solo prey is outnumbered – the prey should stick with the pack! 😉

Going back some many years, I used to talk to an Australian Dominant man online. Sometimes we would talk about him hunting me in the airport upon landing, just for fun – a way to build up the sexual tension to our eventual meeting. I vowed that I would be very tactical in my hiding, though of course, how that would be shall remain a closely guarded secret 😉

Also, I really enjoy Channel 4’s Hunted, though less so now that they can invade people’s homes without a warrant (not even the police can do that for most of the time!). I like the idea of being pursued and captured by a resourceful Dominant, as part of a consensual scene; someone who will use what means they have available to capture me, as I will use my utmost strategems to evade them. It’s not that I want to evade them, not completely, it’s just that nothing worth having is ever easy 😉

That’s it from me for this post. Have you ever take part in a sub hunt before? Share your thoughts in the comments or read more of my 30 Days of Kink posts!
