I only wanted to join the parents association at dds secondary school to make some friends.

Turns out, if I wanted, I could make some REALLY good friends.

I’ve helped out loads for events this school year, been invited on nights out, it’s turned into recently being invited over with dh to houses of about 6 families who are close friends.

We were invited to an adult only get together this weekend, which as it turns out, is a sex festival, as Alan Partridge would call it.

I mean, I’m an adult; there’s no awkwardness, I said thanks but that’s not really our thing and everyone was cool, we still in the gang, just not the inner circle of shaggers, but hey, just my luck to have been friendless for years only to find sex people.

Thought this would give someone a laugh on my behalf.

Just a little warning here...

If you are ever at a party and there is talk of car keys and fruit bowls, leave while you are sober and can still drive. It's not a ride in your car they are thinking of.😂

That reminds me of a joke by Victoria Wood (of blessed memory) which goes something like this:

One of her clueless characters is invited to such a party. She throws her keys into the bowl and takes out another set.

“It were great. I went home with a Volvo. I only went on me scooter.”

I'm always told I'm easy to talk to and find people approach me easily. But I have never been asked to join something like this. I'm now questioning why not? I'm feeling slightly offended to be honest. I've done lots of volunteering for the PTA but maybe they aren't sex people.

We have two friends who became swingers, or tried to. They informed us all one night after some drinking they’d decided to open their marriage and joined a swinging site, taken their pics and created their profiles. Regaled us all about how it worked.

cue loads of complaints several months later as no one actually was interested. I shit you not.😂

That's so funny. I suspect that happens much more often than people care to admit. It's so presumptuous when you think about it!

AHAHHA me and DH have been approached by swingers a few times and I didn’t understand why it was happening until I saw a tick tok about pineapples… I have these big pineapple earrings that I used to wear, and the two occasions we were approached I had them on. Honestly before I knew that I had put it down to maybe we just look free spirited?? Weirdly the first time was when we were 18 and 19 and the couple were a lot older, the other time they were at least age appropriate.

The sex people truly are everywhere and they walk among us.

I'm laughing my head off at this and imagining my kids' old primary school PTA taking part in sexylympics- a vicar and a C of E nun 🤣🤣

I had a Pokémon go group with fellow parents when that was popular. We kept it hush-hush as a little embarrassing to be intensely playing a kids game. Que lots of whispering in a corner of the playground as we were exchanging snorlaxes or whatever and arranging meet-ups. It turned out a some people thought we where all having affairs / swingers. Probably would have been less embarrassing if we were.

¿Qué?

DH and I were invited to a dinner party at one of his colleague’s houses. There were two other couples there, all similar ages, and after dinner (which was nice but dull) we were invited to the cinema room. This room had comfortable sofas and a hard core porn film playing on the screen. This was when I faked a text from our babysitter and had to make our apologies. They were pleasant, fairly boring middle class folks, definitely not what I would have thought sex people were like.

You see, what I would have done in your situation was not to have told your husband, but have sent him over to collect some 'raffle tickets' one Friday night and then waited to see his face when he got home!

I avoided joining the PTA because I wanted to avoid endless meetings and petty debates over the use of commas. Maybe it would have been more exciting than I expected 😕

Oh my god! See, my reaction would have been directly related to how much alcohol I’d consumed. One end would be faking a babysitting emergency, the other would have been hysterical laughter before legging it out the door.

I think this was going on in a funny kind of way among a certain group of parents at my DD’s school. At one of their Christmas get togethers a DH of a school mum pal asked me to sleep with him. Well, ok, but no, even though he was a dish, he was married. ( I wasn’t) And then, his friend who lived a few doors down from him, propositioned me too. So I think they were planning it. Urgh. None of the women ever mentioned anything, but the men were super frisky.
A friend left London to move to à bougie little town often mentioned on here as naice. She got invited to the swingers group within a week or two of dropping her kids off at school!!
come to think of it, I got invited to the swingers group when I was on holiday in Cornwall! Apparently people get bored in these little places and have to create their own entertainment.

iow, there’s a lot of it about!

Was it Frome?

@OneHangryHiker I have sex people friends. Like you I don’t fancy shagging them but they’re still very nice friends to have. I notice you said about not having many friends so I hope they become good friends without the hot tub 🤢party.
You seem really funny, they’d be daft to not keep you in the circle just because you’re not into the partner swapping!
I remember the first time my partner realised that they were sex people. I’d been told outright that they were and genuinely forgotten to mention it to him. He come to find me, like the beautiful innocent soul he is, to tell me his favourite thing about finding out our friends were sex people was that they showed him their reviews on a hook up site. “Lwren, it’s trip advisor, but for shagging!”

Tripadvisor but for shagging 😂😂😂I am on the floor here
