OMFG, Am I a prude or is my 'friend' weird?

[Jaxmum]

Was out with a girl from work last night, I wouldn't go so far as to describe her as a friend. Anyway, we had a few drinks, the gossip flowed, we got onto our relationships and then she told me her and her partner (both v attractive) have applied to go the next 'Fever party'. Whats that I ask, oh its like an upmarket sex party she says. I didnt really know what to say, so moved the conversation on. I couldn't believe it when I checked their website this morning (was going to post a link but thought I'd better not). Now she is quite quiet around the office, friendly with guys but never flirty. She does change a bit after a couple of drinks and always thought she could be a 'bit of one' but blimey, not like that! I'm really quite shocked, am I a prude?

There could be a free creche as well as a free bar

I am not allowed on it - school network has told me it is forbidden Can imagine though but will check tonight

MO2: basically parties at which peopole engage in sex with each other and other couples. looks like a more up-market more contemporary version of parties advertised in Forum (?) magazine. (is that what i'm thinking of?)

yes, Jaxmum, I'm sure DP and i would have been up for this, in our imaginations, anyway. But put off by all this emphasis on panels screening people for good looks. I was looking at the 'Fervour' section and wondering whether DP would like to go for his birthday next month. I don't quite think I could handle him up to it with someone else though! (now, if he wanted to be voyeuristic ....)

And Beety can organise the marquee and barbecue...Tissy, a creche is a GREAT idea.

I'm far too damn self-conscious for it.

No, no, you can encourage the shoe fetishists with your fabulous new sandals...

Thanks for the tip Sophable, just have to persaude dh to let me go alone now . Maybe I will take Spacemonkey with me.

Another parenting site has its own swingers/dogging forum, friend emailed me about it because she was so gobsmacked!

Ah well, another addition to the Topics Board! E mail tech!

Hehe Blu

MariaLuisa, which one???

can't look in case someone comes in, but isn't the one who runs it an mp or something?

I think it would completely screw me up to see DH in the throws of action with someone else. (Although many moons ago when a student I did, no sorry, not telling....)

lemonice, this gets better and better! tell us!

Eeuwww! How hideous to see all those people all bare. I find it repulsive enough come summer when people take off their window coats to reveal what lies beneath - and where could you sit? All those bodily fluids everywhere. Noooo!

Don't start me, I will waffle at length about it! From articles I have read I should add.

I wasn't daring to ask ks !

Dogging is when people meet at certain spots, car parks for one, and watch other people have sex - there's been loads of chat on mn before about dogging ... not that I know of anyone actually involved IYKWIM!!

I'm going to be bold! (if no-one beats me to it)

Imagine someone walking the dog at night and passing a parked car with steamed up windows because the occupants are in the throws of mad passion?

Well that's now an organised activity with pre-arranged times, areas etc.

Whatever next?

I think it involves watching people sh*gging in public places- like bird watching!-I only know this because there is an article on the front page of our local paper- apparently two local beauty spots are listed on some website as being good for dogging!

p.s. PMSL at marquee, creche and BBQ Blu
