Please note, this is way beyond PG13
It’s a warm Saturday afternoon in the city when Poly and John check into a five star hotel, and have sex.
They’ve made it through the tumult of the previous weekend and held it together long enough to make it here, because tonight is the big night. The hotel is close to the event which will be held later in the evening and they decide to miss the much talked about pre-event drinks that had been suggested in the pre-event forum. Instead they take their time getting dressed, or is that undressed, then dressed again, it’s all a matter of perspective really.
John is wearing a crisp white shirt and black skinny leg pants, with a key point that they are practical and easy to remove. Not the stripper-velcro-easy-to-remove, although the thought had occurred to Poly. He tops it off with his black leather jacket, he looks good, but then being the ex-model type, that’s probably not difficult. Poly is wearing a black mini cocktail dress whose sole function is to mostly hide the extremely expensive lingerie. It seems the more expensive the lingerie , the less there is.
When the time arrives, they head off to the appointed luxury penthouse apartment which has been taken over for the evening. As they arrive, all bags and especially all electronic devices are checked in. Then they literally sign in by filling out a non-disclosure agreement where they agree to the rules of the event. It would seem that even bureaucracy is trying to be raunchy as the agreements go into some detail about the content of the event and the explicit confidentiality of all participants, the location of the event, as well as the organisers of the event.
Wait a minute…., I’m calling this an “event”. That’s because it’s making me uncomfortable. After months of hearing Poly talk about her erotic awakenings, you’d think I’d be more habituated to it, but I’m not. The idea of people agreeing to have sex in the presence of each other is so far removed from anything in my experience that it just seems beyond weird. This is a large group of people coming together in order to cum together
Anyway, I may be a prude, but discomfort aside, this sociological prude needs to forge on.
The “event” in question has finally arrived, and Poly is at long last going to a swinger’s party in order to have sex. And watch other people have sex. And to have them watch her have sex. Even though at these sorts of events, it’s more correct to call it “play” as this covers a broader range of activity, …but it’s mostly sex.
There is apprehension in the air as they enter the room.
As I write this, it occurs to me that “Apprehension” sounds like a new fragrance from a movie star past their prime who is trying to round out their financial portfolio. That sense of “Anticipation” and “Excitement” with a little bit of “Anxiety” which, if you think about it, could also be new fragrance names. I can hear the byline in a slow husky voice saying:
“APPREHENSION – when you don’t know what will happen”
As they make their way into the large penthouse suite, it’s clear the not insignificant sums of money paid by about 30 couples is in large part paying for the venue, but then I start to wonder if the organisers had obtained the room through Airbnb. And what if they disclosed the use of the venue? And would they loose their deposit?
Strategically placed around the penthouse are a variation of latex and lube and tissues and towels, with plenty of alcohol in the kitchen that has been converted to a bar. There is a super large lounge room and dining area along with three bedrooms and a balcony. It leaves me wondering just how much of the revenue is going to be spent on cleaners.
John’s a bit caught in the headlights about it all but undaunted, Poly makes her entrance and immediately runs into James.
You remember James, he’s the guy from Poly’s work who was not being entirely honest with his partner about the whole open-relationship thing and how he and Poly had formed a very strong connection. It was broken off several weeks ago, and I was betting that James and Susan would be no-shows, but I was wrong. There they are at the event and before Poly has a chance to say anything, James blurts out “Oh…WOW!, Oh, hi Poly, haven’t seen you in ages. Has it been, how long, what, three years?”
And Poly thinks “I saw you yesterday you lying sack of shit.”
When Poly relates the story to me she exclaims “that lying fuck goes ahead and forces me into a position where I HAVE to continue with his stupid lie, and I fucking HATE lying. I’m really bad at any deception and I especially hate being put into a situation where I have no choice but to lie. He’s just gone and ruined my whole fucking evening. Fuck!”
So it’s clear that Poly is immediately uncomfortable, and it’s also clear that this discomfort would be obvious. It would be particularly obvious to another woman. Well it was, and Susan notices.
James then attempts to continue with the deception by asking “so what have you been up to?” Poly responds “oh, you know, work, yeah, and I’ve like, had a kid” but she is also boiling over with thoughts like “but you already know that you fucking asshole.”
With Poly blushing from the heat of being forced to lie, Susan becomes acutely aware of the lie being told by her boyfriend. But she won’t risk losing him, so therefore the other women must be to blame, and so her ice cold stare turns onto Poly instead of her lying sack of shit boyfriend.
All throughout history this sort of thing re-occurs frequently, where people blame the interloper rather than the person they are with, even though it is clearly their partner that is not being honest. This is the very heart of the problem with monogamy, and it is exactly the sort of thing Poly wants to avoid by being upfront about her polyamory.
Polyamory is not about deceit, it is philosophically the exact opposite, and on a spectrum between the upfront honesty of Polyamory and deceit through cheating, the concept of a so called “open relationship” is really just somewhere in between these two extremes. Open relationships do not sometimes inspire the trust implicit in Polyamory when both partners are committed to being open and honest about their other relationships. However with James and Susan it’s more “don’t ask, don’t tell”, and it generally ends up with both people in the dark about their partners true feelings and you end up with your classic ‘tangled web’. It’s clear that either Susan didn’t ask or James didn’t tell (probably the later because he’s a lying schmuck).
The conversation does not get any better with James and Susan, and after about 15-20 minutes, not much is happening in the room. Whilst it was Poly’s first “party” by this specific organiser, it was not the first time she’s been in a situation like this and relating it to me, she says “these things can accelerate pretty quickly” but right now, not much is going on, so Poly drags John over into the centre of the room and whispers to him that he needs to take her dress off.
Now John had never been in this sort of situation before, but to his credit he plays along as requested and undoes Poly’s dress so that it falls to the floor. Poly then moves down his body till she is on her knees, undoes his trousers and proceeds to give him a blow job.
At this point in the recital, Poly holds up her arms in victory claiming “YEAH! We started it!”
Everyone’s attention is turned to Poly and John, the noise level drops and pauses as they hold that space for several heartbeats. Then an explosion of the erotic began in earnest.
Clothes hit the floor, bodies hit other bodies, and it was full on. Weeks of pent up expectation in the forum just ignite the room. Couples start heading off to the bedrooms, where two would become three, then four, then all in.
Poly took John to a room where another couple had just started to go at it. After playing for a while in there they decide to take a ‘breather’ and actually end up running back into James and Susan and a unicorn (single girl) who all together explore another one of the bedrooms that had not yet been occupied. At this point Poly is in her lingerie, John is fully naked, unicorn is in lingerie, James is in his boxers and Susan is fully clothed!
Poly did a double take thinking that it was just her imagination. Nah, surely Susan was not ‘vibing’ her earlier, but as it turns out, yep she would not even make eye contact with Poly. James’ fantasy of having Susan and Poly hit it off was to remain the wet dream of his adolescent mind.
Unicorn ran off somewhere briefly which left Poly and John and James and Susan in the room together. I’m thinking at this point, to make it perfect, all they needed was a tranny to pop their head into the room and stretch out the word “A..w..k..w..a..r..d.. !!!”
Both couples are on the bed and making out with their respective partners and it is at this point Poly tells me “so I was kind of waiting for the ‘merge’, my last attempt to make eye contact and then the four of us merge together but Susan was having nothing of it and would not even look at me”. Poly was very clear now that Susan did not want a bar of her and this night was not going to go as planned. A few minutes later Susan whispered something to James of which Poly heard “I’ll go find them” before she runs out of the room. It was clear she had no interested in merging with Poly and went to find others she had met.
So Poly was left sitting on the bed between James and John, saying she felt awkward would be an understatement. John thought Poly would want to make the move on James but Poly knew by this point if Susan came back and was all over James there would be trouble. The three made “small talk” until Susan returned with the lesbian couple they had met earlier. As the room starting heating up more and more people were wanting to join in. By the tenth or twelfth person, and after a fun play with John and a cute Asian woman, Poly decides there are too many people and not really something she is interested in.
For Poly, it’s more the connection she craves. All in all she didn’t really spend much time there, and they left “early”. When I asked what time “early” was she said about 2.30am, which to my way of thinking is another kind of early? But anyway, Poly said that the deception by James put her out of sorts and all evening Susan just seemed to have it in for her.
James never got to have sex with Poly, it would have been too much for Susan. As it was, Susan probably had enough to contend with because apparently James became quite a popular item, with Poly overhearing in the bathroom an explicit conversation between a couple who were out to make sure they “got him”… you know… for sex.
After playing around for a bit, John and Poly left to go back to their hotel room. As soon as they stepped out of the penthouse Poly came clean about who James who. “Ahhh it all makes sense now. I thought James seemed unusually very into you and could tell Susan was not into it at all”.
John was really understanding about it all and Poly thought maybe she had not given him enough credit when deserved. They got back to the hotel room, John made a cushion heaven in the bathroom while he smoked a joint to level out. He and Poly chatted about the party and everything that had just occurred in the previous hours. And of course they then had sex… followed by lots more sex until 6am.
At which point they went to sleep, woke up mid-morning …and had sex.
Then they vacated the room for what I understand to be much overworked and underpaid cleaners that go unaccredited after these sorts of events. Followed by a trip back to the John’s Place, …where they had sex.
Which was followed later that evening when John’s friend who was in town for a visit came over. And after being given the offer, he agreed to join them in a threesome, and more sex.
Poly is telling me all this at lunch on Monday. She explains how once the stopper is removed, the flood of the erotic takes some time to recede. And besides, Poly still had something to look forward to because plans have been put in place where an ex-lover of Johns is moving back to the city and after explaining all this to her, she has agreed to meet them later in the week for….
….a game of tennis.
No just kidding, they are going to have sex.
