1001 Fallopian Nights: The BESH-Harem Opens for 30s TTCs & their silk pyjamas. Sherbert on tap. Baklava made by doe-eyed boys freely available. Kelims provided for SWI. Hookahs optional but welcome.

[Headbanger]

Scented silken tent opens its flaps* for business. Nubile veiled houris available for deep tissue sandalwood massage for that pre-droidal unease. Starlit pit tended by gleam-eyed sheiks proffering rum-soaked dates on golden platters. Goatskin rugs laid beneath hanging brass lamps for the un-PC BESH to frolic in furs. Intriguingly tarnished lantern housing benevolent Zita-Genie buried beneath piles of embroidered cushions. Don your curl-toed slippers & coin-fringed skirt, and I'll see you in the corner with a young Omar Sharif and ice cubes made from Tanqueray laced with desert honey and no you can't talk to him he's mine...

Honestly, don't on my account if it'll make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Was joining in on play suggestion with Mountie - we can find another way to play! ;)

Thanks for asking scorps that's v sweet :)

Of course you can link, no worries.

I barely feature in the thread tbh chaps! Posted and ran, unlike ScorpetteTheEloquent (who now appears to have a fan club) :)

Don't go there if you're looking for the funz tho, for it will not be found.

Gin just read other thread, think you're very brave and sorry that you experienced such horrible things. x

Was half way through adding post about R v R and then saw HB got there first - are you a fellow law bod???

The story unfolds to be weird and sad and grrrr-making...

Honestly am not brave. Clumsily honest maybe, but not especially brave. Feel weird being praised as I didn't really do anything except stamp my foot...I do hope it made them think about what they were actually saying though.

Thanks twink (and everybody else.) And twink is good to see you and glad you are feeling better. Have been thinking of you. X back atcha.

I found it - a lot of very bizarre opinions, unreasonably put.

Loving the Scorps fan club though!

And Gin I have some experience of where you're coming from; some of the posts in there I found and and really amazing, given how forward thinking this enlightened society has become in the last 20 years, particularly

Is brave, Gin, because you chose to be honest and open about your experiences so that someone else (ie the OP) can see the light and so that ignorant fools can see they're wrong, even though that run the risks of idiots potentially being horrible or dismissive about it. Not everyone who's had those sort of experiences is strong enough to speak their truth to help others like that I call that brave.

Not pretty reading at all. Well done Scorps, HB and Gin (xxx).

Nice work, women. Makes me proud to be a BESH Now, which one of you wants to write my missing chapter on rape, sexual politics and the early 18th novel?

Gin What you posted was very brave.

Congatulations, MsSquish. Remember, the PESH thread exists for discussion of nausea, boobs and general preggo shizzle. Cass that goes for you, too, when you have the puter back.

Scorps fan club, pshaw!

Can't stand the thought of people letting themselves be treated badly and even worse, being so used to it that they can't see it's wrong

Found the thread and spent most of the evening reading it . You are good BESHs, you are. BraveGin sorry to hear about your previous experiences.

I have posted again. Am going to put down the thread and actually try and sleep now. It is not doing my brain any good.

Good night Ginster, I hope you had your wine. Anything funny to read / watch before bed? Sorry, I am being mumzy, just want you to have a good night undisturbed by some random person and her views.

That thread is attracting gits like zombies; you think you've killed one and then another pops up to take its place

Sleep well, Haggis

I actually feel sick after reading that thread. Poor woman. As if her plight isn't sad and shocking enough, some of the responses from other posters almost make me more sad. And fucking .

Gin you are brave enough to put yourself out there in the hope that it will help others.

Oh my good god, I cannot believe that red nose woman. Am so fucking , patronising cow.

Hehe, BESH tag-team

I think you're misunderstanding that rednoseday; I don't think she is saying that the OP will have discussed it with her chidren, I think she is saying that the OP has a duty to keep the relationship with her husband amicable for the children. Which is not a more reasonable veiwpoint or anything but I think that's what she is getting at.

I get what she is 'trying' to say Bess, but it is not relevant and she just keeps bleating on about it when it is not helpful to anyone. Not to mention she is fucking rude. Anyone who starts a sentence with 'I don't mean to offend' clearly does. And to follow it up with 'Don't be stupid'....

yes yes, she is rude. But I don't think what she is saying is irrelevant to the thread; she is saying that the OP should suck it up (I guess not literally...) for the sake of the children.

"That doesn't imply any obligation on your part with regards to sex/staying married etc"

I'm not sure that is what she is saying Bess. Unless I am being thick naive or stupid again? She seems to be getting way ahead of herself before the poor OP has even talked to OH!

Bah... so much for my early night.
