It seems like last Wednesday night was one fucking busy night for fucking, so many parties in one night. As I wrote before, I was at PRIVATE PARTY, which was packed, and other friends wrote me that they went to different parties -- also packed. This guy, who I've been emailing with for sometime, hit up HARD DRIVE! at Paddles for the first time, and reports back. He said he really liked the crowd, but wishes it had been larger. Usually HARD DRIVE pulls in 30-50 guys, but I guess with all the parties that in Wed, they had about 35. Anyway, here's the report...
"Hey Evan, 52 year old guy here. Your web site has really helped me narrowing down the parties I like to attend and are right for me. Having sex with other guys did me more good than hours of going to a shrink could've ever done, to get me out of midlife crisis! Thank you very much!
Went to Hard Drive last night and am not quite sure what to make of it; it was a very hot and muggy night, with a severe weather alert. At the door I was surprised that I didn't have to give them my e-mail address, as I was informed to in the invite, after e-mailing a pic of myself from the waist up. Overall the procedure of checking in was pleasant and they give you hangers for your clothes, which seems to be important to some of your readers.
Even with the door policy most of the guys were in pretty good shape (I don't know if they turn away some guys at the door), but the problem for me was the number of guys, or the lack thereof, and the fact that most of them wore jock straps, or underwear. I don't get the point of going to a sex party and then running around in underwear. I got there at 9, and at 10 I counted about 35 guys, with about 2/3 of them being active and the other 1/3 just wondering around. Most of the action was oral, with just 4 guys getting fucked. There were a couple of hot scenes with guys including myself, getting their dicks sucked by several guys, but it never built up to a real orgy like experience. Most of it was two and threesomes. It seems that when I left at around 11 about 1/3 of the guys started to get dressed, ready to leave.
The host and most the guy were pleasant, so I'm not complaining. I wasn't unhappy with the party; its just that I was expecting a lot more dudes to fuck around with and the jockstrap/underwear thing turned me off somewhat. Compared to the last party I went to, Hard Drive was fucking awesome! I hope this review doesn't scare guys away. Its a great space with a lot of potential! I'll definitely give it another shot, or two. Just get more guys and get rid of the fucking jock straps and underwear."
Well, as to the door policy, they do turn guys away who don't fit the criteria, and, every party could use more guys, agreed, and more fucking, and more orgy action. Also, I somewhat agree about the underwear, although I admittedly always have mine with me, or around my neck when I'm fucking. Also, two dudes were talking at NYJOCK last week about how one guy had perfected wrapping his underwear around his ankles so that it acted as pouch to hold his poppers (LMAO at that one, but, hey it works!) Anyway, to repeat myself, Hunteur at HARD DRIVE! is one of the best hosts: creative and fun, with giveaways and special guests; and he always throws a fun party--he's always trying to pull in hotter, new guys. My friend who reviewed this above, had a great time, despite some problems, which we all have with even with our favorite parties. As a fuckbuddy friend always tells me, if you don't like it then throw your own party! I would, but I'd rather be fucking than hosting.

This from Hunteur, the host of HARD DRIVE...
"You know how it is, some nights you just get a weird crowd or whatever. If it was about the photographic night, there were a few people that although it was clearly explained at the door did not get the concept that a benefit was taking place that night. I could probably explain things if something went on. At Hard Drive we strive to make our sex events different from anything that you will experience in NY, once in a while there may be an individual that gets confused by a certain concept. Thanks Evan"
