to not want to go out for DH's birthday with this couple?

My DH's birthday is next month. A couple we are 'kinda' friendly with usually come with us for a meal/night out as it's her DH's birthday in Feb also (they are more DH's mates than mine).

When I asked her what her plans were for their birthdays she said that we should all go for a meal, then we should go onto a lap bar/strip joint (whatever they are called) because she wants to pay for him to have a private dance with one of the girls .

Now don't get me wrong, I am aware this couple are not in a monogamous marriage, but usually they keep us out of their shenanigans. DH just laughed and told me to take a chill pill. WTF! .

It doesn't sound like my idea of a good night. Would we be unreasobable to make an excuse not to go? I;m thinking of saying we can't get a babysitter, but nearer the time. Or shall I tell her I am a bit uncomfortable about the strip club thing? Am I being a prude about this?

WHat censorship thread would that be, then?

2manyvodkas · 18/01/2008 22:16

It is odd why a woman would want to take her DH to a strip club, with another couple, and then pay for a private dance outragious.

I told DH about this thread and he reckons the couple in question must be swingers?

onebatmother · 18/01/2008 22:23

madamez I might have oversold it. Its the cunt thread in Site Stuff.

madamez · 18/01/2008 22:25

Ta, OBM

onebatmother · 18/01/2008 22:36

blimey, that's a first. The distraction method works then, Pol?

Swedes · 18/01/2008 22:38

This week the lap dancing bar, next week dogging in Sainsbury's car park. It's a slippery slope I think.

Shaniece · 18/01/2008 22:40

what does dogging mean? I mean that seriously .

onebatmother · 18/01/2008 22:57

watching other people .. you know.. doing it. Usually in cars, I think.

Heated · 18/01/2008 22:59

Well, as long as they get their pound back out of the trolley...

policywonk · 18/01/2008 23:03

'The distraction method works then, Pol?'

I fear madamez will be a bit disappointed to find us all madly agreeing.

Oh, and at heated. Pounds? Trolleys?

Swedes · 18/01/2008 23:05

Heated - I'm not sure they use the trolleys. But suppose they might?

onebatmother · 18/01/2008 23:06

oh my freaking god. For a ... run-up?

Heated · 18/01/2008 23:08

Oh, so they don't load up their shopping and then do a bit of dogging...my mistake.

Swedes · 18/01/2008 23:10

Sort of multi-tasking?

Heated · 18/01/2008 23:11

Hmm, and they might need the boot space.

Thinking through the logistics of this, might they need to use the M&B parking?

Can see now another outraged MN thread about the misuse of supermarket car-parking spaces.

onebatmother · 18/01/2008 23:19

'so very that I went over, ready to call them cunts. Imagine my surprise when I saw they were..."

".....and the spectators had parked in a disabled space!"

onebatmother · 18/01/2008 23:20

AIBU????????

madamez · 18/01/2008 23:23

Actually, I think I heard somewhere that one community group outraged by the introduction of 24-hour supermarket shopping was indeed doggers - supermarket carparks late at night used to be quite a popular rendevous choice.

And before you all ask, no I have never actually tried dogging. I rarely date men with cars.

policywonk · 18/01/2008 23:28

Draw the line at motorists, eh?
