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

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?

OK, this Fever thing, although not my cup of tea, I can understand the attraction for some BUT Dogging sounds absolutely repulsive and for the life of me cannot undrstand why any woman would want to get involved in it.

Needless to say googling mp +party +fever comes up with loads of references the Mp who runs Fever is called Dougie Smith (conservative) and he is 41

So FEVER is a Tory plot? Oh well, that will put DP off!

lemonice · 27/05/2004 16:06

How did I know this thread would still be in active conversations ?

aloha · 27/05/2004 18:26

I see earlier that in my horror I posted 'window' coats when I meant to type 'winter' coats. Window coats sound really pervy!

marthamoo · 27/05/2004 18:30

I had a lovely mental picture of what window coats might be (some trendy pervy London type thing). Imagined the person standing up and they have a clear panel in their coat so you can see their bare bum

lou33 · 27/05/2004 18:48

She likes a nice bum does Moo.

marthamoo · 27/05/2004 18:48

A friend once told me that having Pampas Grass in your front garden is a secret sign to other swingers that a swinger lives in that property.

I drive past an expensive house with a Pampas Grass out front a couple of times a week & it never fails to make me wonder.......
