Anyone ever looked at an ad in their locality (or from somewhere they have previously lived) and thought "I recognise that wallpaper"?
Just curious
I voted for Foxy in the end, but it was close run thing.
Perhaps it should have been broken down into catagories - position adopted to show said bum, additional factors (colouring in the case of Marya), perhaps even a word or two from the ladies about how their bake cookies and visit older relatives on a regular basis?
How many men opened this thread hoping it was an offer from foxylady, I wonder? :P
I dont think theres an average swinger... not here anyway. Some are bad, some seem mad, and some are very sad (but enough of the single guys).
Statistically we could find the average age, but thats about it.
Damn, using that Avatar again makes me very sad that I wont be coming to the munch any longer :cry:
Whats the average age of the average swinger?
Is it something you discover later in life?
Just curious.
Drinking alcohol and taking perscription drugs is obviously bad, taking two days off for drinking so you dont mix them is obviously bl**dy silly, but just a thought...
Your mate is at least getting out, and one of the problems I had was NOT wanting to go out. I didn't feel like socialising, I didn't feel like doing anything at all. By going out at weekends at least hes part way to becoming 'normal' so he needs to be encouraged to keep going out, but without drinking alcohol.
As not drinking might make him seem a bit of an outsider, and you DONT want that to happen, why not forgo the alcohol yourself? Sure he'll cope with not drinking if somebody else is missing out too.
When all's said and done, he has one thing in his favour, someone who is taking an interest in him and isn't afraid of getting involved.
NEVER butt out of his life
NEVER say "snap out of it"
NEVER believe him when hes says he's over it
>Yet to be decided. come on people, what do we want? a camping w'emd starting fri >through till sunday, a shorter w'end or a meet in a pub/other venue?
Camping friday to sunday gets my vote, especially in this weather! If we camp near a pub then that allows for everyone to be happy. Sure a few hotels will rear the heads too.
>I know of a campsite in somerset that advertises specifically for "members of certain > Adult Groups". If there's enough interest I'm happy to visit and check it out
Mmm, not sure one that advertises for certain members is the best to go for? For one thing I thought a munch was mainly a meeting that didn't descend into an orgy, so any campsite would be ok. Besides, a poll a while back (I found that in at the same time I found this thread) suggests that the most popular place for a SW munch was Devon with 31% of the vote.
Guess your just born lucky mate!
As to the organising, what say we cut through the crap and organise it ourselves then get a beautiful local girl to front the munch so we at least attract one other person than ourselves? But even with three of us, at least we tried and partially suceeded... what do you think? Personally I think you should keep it all in public (the info not the munch), these PMs keep things secret and fill up your inbox and stops everyone seeing that the idea is still hot. Besides that, if the host drops out or their email access goes down, then the whole thing grinds to a halt.
That way you can have it the first w/e of September, which gets my vote too.
I think Marya has made some good points and I would like to read her assignment in full as, having completed a media degree, I too ranted on about the subject in at least one essay.
If these games were cutting edge, "wow, games that are full of blood and guts" then maybe (just maybe) that could be seen as influencial. But they are in fact imitating the world as it is, where people do go around streets and cause other people harm and most people look the other way. Don't blame the PC game or the films for violence, they are just reflecting how people are now-a-days.
I disagree with Mayra that we didn't have "golden days" when you could "keep your house unlocked", I think we did. I am just 31, but in my life I have seen a worrying trend in people not giving a toss about their fellow man (or woman). How this came about, who knows, but it's how things are now and that is why its acceptable to fill the shelves with bloodthirsty games and gory films. It wouldn't surprise me if we actually went back to Gladiators, starting with a bit of violence and soon ending up with people dying on TV, televised executions, "documentaries" on abuse to children and animals would be old hat by then of course. Life is surprisingly cheap nowadays, lead stories in papers are about Beckham having a fling, whilst on page seven hundreds die in earthquakes somewhere. The war in Iraq seemed so bad, as did 9-11, but does it invoke such feeling now? I don't think it does, unless your directly involved, its just yesterdays news sad to say.
Phew! So I guess I'm saying the worlds crap, except for the bit you exercise your influence over. So do your best, but don't worry because in a decades time this will all have been a mildy violent time.
NOTE
I have now thought of another reason why I'd like to see Marya's essay and it has something to do with the redness of her ass in that Avatar. Guilty, even I have been corrupted.
hwoar: on a plate (with Steve's permission of course)
