Center Parcs & Anal sex

So for the past 4 years I've been badgering DH for us to go to Center Parcs. He's been reticent on account of it being 'naff' and 'like Butlins but with trees' I disagree but anyway...

Eventually we went to Center Parcs, Longleat over the Christmas period (it was great) and I noticed that he had packed a tube of KY but didn't think anything of it. So we get back home and he makes some silly joke about 'no bumfun' despite 'my promises'.

Now there is no way in hell anything is ever going up my back bottom so I questioned what he meant (assuming he was joking). And he said that "according to Mumsnet" Center Parcs =anal sex. Apparently I had told him this over 4 years ago.

I have no memory of this link between Center Parcs and anal. Can someone confirm that there is a Center Parcs/anal meme in the same vein as nice ham?

Anyway, I got the hump.
He claims he was joking and made it all up because he thought I would find it funny
It's all too weird and I'm still a bit offended. Can't tell if I'm being oversensitive and it really was all a joke or whether he really did think that bum-business was on the menu.

Don't know how I missed this the first time round but thankyou for making me cry with laughter although not sure dh really 'got' it when I tried to explain through the tears :o

VivaLeBeaver · 24/04/2012 21:16

The threads four down when you google it now. I'm going next month!

baffledmum · 24/04/2012 21:07

I have laughed and laughed at this thread. It is priceless. My DH googled CP this morning and this thread was about 8 down still. He read it laughing.

We are going to CP shortly - will keep my wits about me. Grin

I've just been on Facebook and one of my friend's status is:

Sore bum @ centre parks

She says it's from bike riding...

Imagine my surprise when I saw this thread :)

There's a lass at work really looking forward to a stay. Trouble is, whenever se mentions it, this infamous thread is all I can think of. Haven't told her of course...

EightToSixer · 07/02/2012 20:57

Haha. Hatvan amazing thread. Will never ever think of Center Parcs without thinking of bum love ever again!

52with2under4thenewdementia · 07/02/2012 20:42

OMG just back from CP longleat. Far too cold for any kind of action, least of all this. Have a very sore arse but only from inexperienced bike riding!!!!!

40thisisit · 07/02/2012 20:35

Fink · 07/02/2012 20:31

@SonOfAradia It's up to 5th now, I just tried it. How can we bump it up even further? Wink

sassyTHEFIRST · 07/02/2012 20:25

Ah feck. Going to cp this week. Various activities planned - swimming, tennis, indoor climbing wall etc. emphatically NO anal sex.

Dh is certainly not climbing my indoor wall that's a fact.

SonOfAradia · 07/02/2012 20:21

Ah, the infamous thread!

I have a friend who works for Center Parcs. She said that the Marketing bods aren't best pleased that Googling Center Parcs turns up 'Center Parcs & Anal sex' as the 6th result.

As a company based on family holidays, I suppose they've got a point :-O

justonemorethread · 02/02/2012 22:16

Anyway why would he equate going to centreparcs to him getting anal sex on the back of an alleged thread years ago?
Especially if you never had that conversation with him before going???

LydiaWickham · 02/02/2012 08:55

Thank you for a much needed giggle.

OP - serious conversation time with him, if he wants to try something, he should discuss it with you like an adult, but then he also needs to know you'll not judge him for asking...

Ferris124 · 01/02/2012 23:37

OMG! :-O

I remember the OXO Tower incident, a few years back the comments page of the OXO tower bar was left open - no security and a bunch of people put a load of comments on the site about having it up the OXO tower ... the site went down by mid afternoon that day :-)

imisssleepandwine · 01/02/2012 20:19

funny tread.

He said he's joking and even if he wasn't it's not a porn thing it's just a different way of having sex, he chanced his arm, it backfired. forget it..

CrikeyOReilley · 01/02/2012 20:09

Center Parcs, the British holiday that won't be spoiled by having the painters in.

Lovemygirls · 31/01/2012 21:45

I think what you need to remember is some men are like children in the way that they want what they can't have, the more you say no the more he wants you to say yes - that doesn't mean you should. Ignore his silliness. Glad you had a good time.

redhead41 · 31/01/2012 21:41

You need to learn to laugh at this sort of shit. Either he was joking or he was trying to persuade you to join him in some new fun, either way it isnt worth stressing about

HugeFurryWishingStool · 31/01/2012 19:01

The original Center Parcs + bumsex reference is courtesy of celebrity Big Brother, when one panellist opined that this combination would be the elements of a romantic date à la Kirk Norcross (he of the Essex unreality show).

toldmywrath · 27/01/2012 22:17

Bumsnet?

Apologies for diving in to a thread that should, perhaps, be allowed to die - always a problem when a thread goes viral (I read about this in the Evening Standard!).

But I just wanted to express surprise that none of you appear to have "Fond memories of Sandy Balls". I know I have ...
