Sex Parties

the parties where everybody puts their car keys in a bowl is called a key party. It was in the movie The Ice Storm. i believe frodo was in it (the movie, not the party in the movie). Also, the most excellent cartoon the venture brothers had a scene with a key party as well.

 

I totally agree with you Plan9; however, I would like to add that the modern married woman also lives in quiet desperation. We all do because we live in fear of loss and rejection. We try to make ourselves fit into someone else's life and expectations and we hide or make compromises in core areas of our own lives. Many of us do this with our sexual side especially. Both partners are afraid to say what they need out of fear of being judged or rejected. My relationship with rb123 is the most open and honest one I have ever had. Neither one of us want to be the other's everthing...we just like to be "easy part" of each other's life. If my husband had been willing to communicate with me, about our sex life specifically, things would have been very different for me right now. God knows I tried!!!

I have many thoughts on relationships...perhaps I will start a new thread.

 

I'd be interested in that thread! Been thinking a lot about this stuff.

Totally agree with mysugarcane - Being able to talk about these things, including each partner's needs and desires, is essential to a great relationship, but sadly rare. I think that to be able to explore our sexuality within a trusting and loving relationship is really rather incredible. I wish I'd gotten to that point in my twenties, but that isn't the kind of relationship we had. Because I think many of us are basically afraid of being honest with our partners...it can take years to get to that point. I'm in a relationship...a marriage...now that is that honest and I do not take it for granted. I don't really know if most humans are naturally monogamous or not, but there sure are a lot of people who are interested in a broader kind of sexual expression. I do really believe, however, that within the right kind of relationship, that kind of exploration can be possible. Openness and honesty and courage and respect are all essential, and then we can really explore what it means to be human, a sexual human.​

 

So when are you going to start your thread about relationships? Inquiring minds want to know where your brain is at!
