Being part of a movement is so satisfying. By that I don’t mean the gurgling I feel lurking in my tummy the morning after one of my man Rubberdude’s infamous currrrrraaaaayyyy nights!

No, I was privy to a most different kind of movement on 11th October 2014 when Rubber Revolution reared its anarchic head to offer a new latex-only event to the gummi glitterati of the world. A rubbery hand-chosen selection of choice perves were invited along to Murder Mile Studios in East London to sample the choice sweetmeats this rebellious revelry had to offer. 

At this very classy locale the focus of the evening was dedicated to rubber adornment, fun and fetish play, where the essential and significant elements of this new event are that you must be in full rubber. And, amazingly, with a bountifully-equipped dungeon, BDSM and fetish play to the nth degree of consummation is actively encouraged with no worry of a disapproving bouncer tapping you on the shoulder.

So, to kick off the evening a smorgasbord of nibbles and prosecco served by a Hannibal-hooded maitre d was made for a cordial, welcoming touch downstairs in the Murder Mile bar, where as advertised it was a relaxed Bring Your Own Drinks policy. Situated next to this, in an annexed studio, Rubber Bandit – one of the most talented photographic artists on the scene – spent the night capturing image upon image of pervy portraiture. 

During the course of the evening a plethora of cheeky choons were spun, playing homage to alternative greats such as Kraftwerk and Joy Division. To begin with the music was at conversation level, but as the party started pumping the volume went all the way to eleven with some pretty dirty moves going down on the dancefloor: a perfect compromise I felt.

Upstairs depravity reigned with a dreamscape of dungeon equipment. Here the rope suspension points were put to good use by Artifex_DK, in from Copenhagen, and his glamorous rope bunny Miss Olympia, both demonstrating Japanese Shibari par excellence with some of the most elegant and exquisite tying and suspension I have seen in a long time.

For me personally, I have to say the most deliciously naughty highlights were to be had in the medical room overseen by Miss Velour and partner Vulcanised. Their NnP apparatus had the air of a nutty contraption direct from the set of Carry on Screaming complete with knobs, levers and big shiny silver gas canisters. I was honestly hoping OddBod didn't make an appearance.

In an attention-seeking bout of in-house navel-gazing we asked our mostly vanilla app developer at Silicon Lifeforms to give us his perspective on what it was like dealing page after page of kink whilst turning The Book of Filthy Sex Games from a literary work into an Android app.

How long have you been making Android apps?
Four years. I wrote an app called Calcutrip. It's a journey cost calculator.

How did you get involved with The Book of Filthy Sex Games? 
I've been friends with, well, tolerated, the author for several years. He told me about the book and asked me if I'd like to do an app version. I called him a pervert and told him to piss off. Then I decided I might get to see women in latex, so I said yes.

What made you decide to say yes to the project? 
I'm all for people experimenting, but with stuff like this it needs to be done carefully and safely. That is the books raison d'etre and a good reason to do it.

Have you told you friends and family about this app? 
Some of them. Those who I feel are open-minded enough to be able to deal with it.

Are you yourself experienced in the kink content in the app? 
Experienced? Only in my mind.

What was it like working with such content? Did you enjoy it? 
It was an eye opener! There were a number of terms I had never heard before and, frankly, never want to hear again. Though I do seem to be developing an obsession with ladies in tight, shiny outfits.

Is there much difference between it and other digital formats? 
As the text is part of a larger computer program it meant we could offer different functionality to other formats, like storing favourite games and searching by venue, duration etc.

Did the author help you with the app or did he leave it to you? 
He dealt with the formatting, asked me a lot of silly questions and was generally annoying.

How were Google Play about the mature content?
They were fine. They have systems in place to allow developers to warn consumers of more adult content. It's very simple and effective.

Are there plans for an Apple app version? 
We're seeing how sales go. If it's well received we'll look to do an Apple version.

Who would you recommend this app to?
Anyone curious about adult games and how to get into it safely. 

What has been the responses to the app so far? 
It's early days for the app, but the book has had some incredible reviews.

Has The Book of Filthy Sex Games been controversial do you think? 
It could be. There's always the possibility of controversy where sex is involved.
