Navel-in-laws

    Doris Getting Tilted

    Is there a better word in English to describe a relationship, you share with someone via mutual sexual partner? This is the most suitable translation from Finnish word "napalanko", I could think of.

    Do you often bump into people, you know either were with your sex-partner before you or after you, or the other people in this equation, who are "related" to you via your sex-life?

    How do you feel about meeting them? Is it awkward?

    Is your current partner aware of the people, whom he/she may bump into, that might share this navel-in-law relationship with him/her?

    I have few ex-partners living in the same region, but funnily enough, I've never met the spouses to most of them. Since I've been with my husband more than 20 years, it's rather old news any way, unless he's had something going on during our relationship.

    I just had lunch last week with a former SO. It was with a small group of people. And it was very comfortable. We still have a bond between us but it is respectful, not lustful, not dangerous at all. I really like the relationship that we have today, very good friends that once had incredible sex. There are a few that would not be this way. One in particular would be difficult, even time can't completely heal that - in excess of 30 years. Many have since moved or I have moved and there is no way to reconnect, not that I am looking to.

    Now thinking of Paul Simon's Kodachrome.....
    So true. There's a reason why each are former instead of current.

    Actually, a couple of our friends are navel-in-laws. They both live elsewhere, though, so we don't see them much. It's never really been awkward for us. We just kinda ignore it, accepting the fact that everyone knows. I miss getting to hang out with my hubby's navel-in-law. She's a cool chick. I wish she would come to visit more often.
