Gaming and orgies don't mix

[Darth K'Trava]

D'oh! I came in expecting to be all titillated by some story of some miscreant gaming group only to find it's a thread that I've already read in it's entirety (with the exception of the last few posts, of course!)

Bad form!

Fool ya!!

I've never even vaguely considered that DnD and kinky sex should mix. I mean, this thread was a surprise for me. Not that i'm a prude, hey, by no means, but it seems like a...shall i say... a conflict of interest.

But i suppose it works for some folks, and maybe it's not real different from dating in gaming circles, except that feelings can invariably get hurt for all parties involved.

And herpes.

In my 20+ years of gaming, I've seen too much.

<SNIP>when the two couples who made up 90 percent of my group both split up at the same time.

Ok, still trying to figure out the math on this one. Is there a .44 of a person attending? 2 couples normally equals 4 people...then again...with all the poly variations listed in this thread, I may be wrong.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

thanks,
Rich

I think that this thread, in its current state, may make my gram's heart stop... but, my gram is very old and very Suzie Homemaker in a very traditional way.

I will say that this thread has been... eye-opening for me. My naive South Dakota brain was unaware that anyone that wasn't a pervert or a religious zealot would engage in a non-monogamous relationship. Bit of a paradigm shift to know that people - people that I would consider *normal* - engage in this sort of thing. Still don't think that I could approve of it - let alone engage in it myself, but it has certainly enlightened me.

I know it was certainly eye-opening for me when I first read about Torm's lifestyle via email..... It was certainly a shock, moreso than stuff I've seen/heard about at various conventions I've been to. (and certainly NOT Fantasm, Torm!) But I've not encountered people who I like who practice this kind of life. And I was wondering about its effects on the children who probably don't know all there is that's going on in the room down the hall from theirs....

A little while back, there was some thread about some guy's "frisky gay furry" D&D game. So, I guess they mix for someone. Certainly not for me.

Then again, I'm not at all gay, and I play with a bunch of guys currently, so the thought never really crossed my mind either.

It isn't MY fault! There was this blue suit with horns, and somebody said something about a "weirdness magnet", and now I can't get out...

BLUE DEVIL! oops lost control of the comicphile in me. Back to the thread....

 

[megamania]

It amazes me everyone is so weirded out by this thread and the subject it touches on. There is love and there is sex. I wonder if people are mixing or confusing the two.

Relax.

So long as no one is hurt I don't see the issue with it.

Why do you assume the sex itself is "kinky" just because the lifestyle is different? Not defensive, just curious.

I'd say that if you've gamed with a few different gaming groups, you've probably gamed with someone who is involved in polyamory - or if they aren't, it is because the opportunity hasn't presented itself. SCA groups tend to draw poly people like moths to a lightbulb, for some reason - strange to me, because I've never really been that interested in it myself. (I think some of the trappings like weapons and clothes are nice, but prefer to "live in the now".) And SCA tends to overlap with RPGing, so..... But most poly people don't even have the tells that gay people have, so you might never know.

I noticed this, too, and thought almost EXACTLY the same thing. (With the addition of thinking to myself, "No, silly - 3 isn't a "couple", its a triad." ) But then I just let it pass - after all, we all know that 76.4% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
