Gaming and orgies don't mix

[BOZ]

I say "faithful polygyny" because I like to clarify that we aren't swingers, which seems to be what some of the people I've seen call themselves "polyamorous" really are, and polygyn clarifies my sexual preference and my wife's and what we're looking for in a simple, unobtrusive way - 2F 1M triangle, no 'V's. But, yep, it is a form of polyamory.

hey, what is this, the personals?

Yup. I guess Torm's up to having to post personal ads on Enworld to find someone.....

Actually, I think we've gotten to a point where looking is all but out, and the right woman would have to metaphorically slap us in the faces. Its been since '99 since we last dated anyone. I just had to express irritation with the behavior described in the initial post, but, since some might take that as a condemnation of ANY alternate lifestyle, explain that it wasn't such, and why. And the conversation has gone from there. I'm not advertising.

Its funny, the way people react to such things, though - almost every woman my wife has ever told she was bi thought they were being hit on. As though the very mention of it constituted an invitation or something. I don't think there is a "gay agenda", but I do almost think that some "straight" people WISH there was - and they want IN!

After reading the first message that started this all I can think is how happy and smart I am that before joining ANY group, I get to know them first.

That said- I had an experience at a con once. We were playing toon. The DM set up the game. I had played this adventure before but figured with a game like toon, it could never be the same twice. Two other players arrived. An older guy that had the brains of a grapefruit sitting in the sun and a decent looking girl in a tight outfit. Married and a good guy (yeah right) I only checked her out for a moment then got serious about being as unserious as possible.

The game became a battle of wits between her and myself. The other guy had no clue and was lost. The DM was simply enjoying the game. It was the last slot of the weekend.

She started batting her eyes and smiling at me which made me think- whore. (I still wore my wedding ring proudly then). Finally the game ended and she gave me one last good game look then proceeded to sit on the GM's lap and give him a hug and a kiss.

She was there just to tease. The old guy was too simple to understand it. I was honorable enough not to bite (much) and I'm not sure what the GM's game was.

Weird.

Still- it's fun to think about sometimes. It just proves how "open" some couples are.

You may have a point there.

I think that perhaps "tease" or "homewrecker" might be more applicable terms but I can understand defaulting to "whore" in a pinch.

Either way- it was a game to her. I'm still not certain if she did it for her own amusement, the boyfriend DM's amusement or to get him riled.

Oh course- I have seen worse outside of the gaming arena. But that is another story and not for Granma to listen to

This is officially the weirdest thread, ever.

That is all.

Oh, I've seen weirder. Mostly at Nutkinland, granted, so maybe they don't count.

I meant here.

I've seen threads at (for instance) the Penny-Arcade forums that would have killed Eric's Grandmother instantly. The worst offender was a thread in which a (supposed) 13 year old girl was asking the unwashed masses for specific acts that would best accompany the loss of her...innocence. It was absolutely bizarre. As weird as this place can get, it's largely above the cesspool that is much of the rest of the 'net.
