Center Parcs - I thought it was to be kept within my marriage

My family are currently at Center Parcs because we are Scottish, on holiday and we come every year.

Dd ages 15 and add age 13 and I went to the pool at Center Parcs at the busiest time of the week and we are somewhat regretting this choice. It was like people soup, and I have seen every body shape imaginable today ( and honestly no-one cares I know, I cart this awful body around). Anyway, the rapids are our favourite, however it’s possible to get stuck at various points ( we give them names - The pool of unbearable sadness, Dumpy Mermaid gulch, the eddy of despair etc) and at those points it’s possible to get split up from your own friends and family and end up engulfed in the arms and legs of other parties....suffice to say, what happens at Center Parcs stays at Center Parcs, and I suspect some lovely young mid twenties boys who go to the gym may have been turned off women for life.....

I knew that a certain amount of specific intimacy is expected at Center Parcs, however I thought it was supposed to be with my husband and not some student boys from Stafford in the rapids....

This made me laugh. I have ended up in some poor guys lap a few times there and had many a boob accidentally unveiled near me. So much inappropriate touching too.

“Dumpy mermaid gulch” sounds almost poetic.

Also saw a woman come off then the week before last with her assists hanging out and it wasn’t a skimpy costume to start with Blush

Sounds like a lovely way to make new friends. Not necessarily long lasting but certainly memorable.

Exactly why I avoid the rapids Grin

I don't really know how to reply to that OP. I just wanted to say that you are funny and it made me laugh Grin
