Porno

I went to a smut party last night, which was much more innocuous than it sounds. It's rather like a Tupperware party, or a Pampered Chef gig, except that instead of containers and kitchenware you have a charming lady flogging nipple creams and vibrators.

Since I now have all the pay channels (it cost the same to do that as it did just to get Showtime, which is what I really wanted), I thought I would set the stage the night before by checking out some late night soft core. I haven't watched this stuff in a long time, so I was rather shocked when I started channel surfing and immediately came apon a threesome doing it for what seemed to me to be a rather innordinate amount of time. Now, for all I know this was the only such scene in this movie, which may have devoted the last hour to heartwarming character development and a gripping plot. All I can say is that it amazes me what you can show and still not have it considered real "porn."

(And as an aside, why is it that guys seem to find girl on girl action so thrilling? I mean, I can't say that I, or any other woman I know, is that particularly turned on seeing guys getting it on. Not that it's bad - we just don't find it very interesting. All I can figure is that guys are thinking "Wow - those chicks are so horny that they're going to have sex with each other! But if I were to come into the room, I bet they would both have sex with me! At the same time!" If anyone has a better explanation, please share it.)

Anyway, so on the drive down I played music with lots and lots of bass, throbbing my windows and booming out my exhaust, to further set the stage. Once I got to my friend Laura's house (you will recall her as the goomah par excellance at last week's party) it was almost an anti-climax (no pun intended) to see a crowd of nicely, and somewhat conservatively dressed women standing around the hors d'ouvre table discussing dip recipes.

It was rather a nice occasion. For me, though, the real value was less in finally figuring out just what some of this stuff was for, but more in having the forum for discussions with friends about exactly why some people can't wear tampons anymore after childbirth, or what happened to X the night the sponge disappeared into her nether regions. Stuff like that. Girl talk.

As my moniter is dying, it may be a bit before I post again. Salut!
