BDSM Fanatic Appears at Champagne and Shackles in Leather Bodysuit

Sofia Walsh (C ‘22) is normally okay with an evening filled with cheap handcuffs, free booze, and questionable lifestyle choices. She’s a wild college gal and not afraid to fuck herself up before her Friday morning recitation gets the chance to do it for her. 

But when she made the dubious decision of asking her roommate to land her a date for Sigma Mu’s latest iteration of Champagne and Shackles, Walsh quickly learned she had landed herself in a bind of sorts. “I was bracing myself for the worst when [my roommate] told me that he had ‘a great personality,’” Walsh explained, “but I didn’t quite expect him to show up wearing a full leather bodysuit.”

The man behind the suit, Parthik Archaya (E ‘21), was thrilled when his only on-campus acquaintance set him up on the date with Walsh. “I know no other bond as powerful as the sexual connection between a passionate dominant and a loving submissive, so, understandably, I was pleased with the arrangement,” Archaya explained. 

Less pleased was Walsh, who found herself spending part of the night shackled to Archaya. “All my friends asked me, ‘Sofia, why would you ever let yourself get shackled to him?’ and the simple answer is that they wouldn’t give me the bottle of champagne otherwise. The guy was a weirdo, but also Momma didn’t raise no bitch, and I have alcoholic tendencies I can’t control,” stated Walsh. 

Immediately after getting shackled to Archaya, Walsh began to gulp down an unhealthy amount of champagne. Archaya, meanwhile, found himself taking issue with the quality of the dollar-store handcuffs. “There’s no substitute for the raw metallic bite of silver handcuffs against the flesh,” Archaya explained, “and especially during more intense play sessions, the durability of the material is paramount. The plastic handcuffs they gave us would simply not do.” 

Unfortunately for Archaya, Walsh finished the bottle before he could get her to sign the sexual contract that he had spent hours on the night before. After being freed, Archaya tried to make “Gutmann” their safe word, but Walsh quickly disappeared into the crowd in search of her next drink. 

Although the night was ultimately one of disappointment, Archaya was pleased by the fact that campus events are at last catering to marginalized kinks. “Although I was robbed of my playtime, the work that Sigma Mu is doing in advancing BDSM into mainstream campus culture is both commendable and exciting."

In addition to Sigma Mu's efforts, Archaya is taking matters into his own hands by starting the Kink Incorporation and iNclusion Kollective, which is starting to plan its own events to bring marginalized kinks into the spotlight. Tequila and Tentacles will be held this coming Thursday at 437 S 41st St, while its sister event Franzia and Furries will be held simultaneously at Smokes.
