I looked around, there was no one nearby. All our friends were off exploring.
"Have you ever been fingered?" I asked her daringly. She was my girlfriend now, but I wasn't sure how far she'd gone with other guys before.
She hesitated then nodded yes. I was immediately both jealous and hard.
"Stephan?" I asked. She'd been with him for almost a year before hooking up with me.
"No," she said blandly. I was puzzled. Before Stephan?
"Gee, you must have been young?" I said. Joycie shook her head.
"No, not really."
I gave a confused look. "But you were only seventeen before you got with Stephan, weren't you?"
Joycie went red.
I looked at her with surprise. "Gee...just how old were you when...when someone...when it happened?"
"No, no it's not like that at all!" she blurted out, "Its all been recently."
"Hey? Huh?" I looked over her shoulder to try and read her face. "What about all the time you were with Stephan?"
Joycie looked down, letting her hair fall across her face.
"C'mon, what you talking about?" I persisted.
Joycie sighed deeply. "Stephan doesn't do parties, not really. He can't really drink and he gets all shy if people start, you know, pushing us together and stuff, pushing us into the bushes or into a back room or stuff. He's kinda, well, he's not really comfortable about sex, and he made me nervous about it too. So he usually finds some excuse not to go."
"Okay...so?"
"So, I dunno, I go and everyone's together and I can't be with someone and all I end up doing is drinking more than everyone else."
"And...so what?" I asked. This was not what I expected.
"Well, usually I get drunk. And usually someone finds me drunk and, you know, takes advantage."
"They what...they...they fuck you?" I was horrified.
"No, of course not! No one would dare!" she said looking back at me now. I couldn't tell if she was unhappy or not. She calmed down a little. "No, they don't fuck me, they just play around."
"Jesus," I said. "Play around? What's that mean?"
"'Playing around' has a definition, its the same for everyone. You can either take a girl's pants off or her top off, but not both. Whichever I take off you can only take off the opposite," Joycie explained.
"Run that past me again? Some guy can take off your top or your pants?"
Joycie nodded.
"As in all off, not just to your bra and panties?" I asked further.
"Yeah, of course all off," Joycie said as if I were some naive kid.
"Ok, but if some guy takes your pants off, he can only take his top off, he can't take off his own pants?"
Joycie nodded again.
"But if I'm there and I take my pants off, I can only take your top off?"
"Uh-huh."
I was in awe. Why hadn't I seen any parties like this?
"But then what?" I asked, "If some guy takes your pants off and, you know, gets his finger...in you...don't you get in trouble with Stephan? He doesn't get upset?"
"Come on! We're only playing around, it's no big deal. Anyway, people won't tell on you if that's as far as you go. It's just one of those things that happens at parties. But if you fuck someone, then that's really cheating, so people will tell your boyfriend for sure."
"Wow," was all I could say.
There was silence for a while while we both thought about what she was saying.
"So how many times did you 'play around'?"
Joycie blushed. "A few..."
"A few?" I repeated, picturing my girlfriend with her tits out for a guy. "Which half do they usually choose?"
Joycie giggled at that. "The bottom! Every time!"
"Really? Why?"
"Well, guys know if they can get your pants off that they'll usually get your breasts anyway. Bit hard to say no to a hand up your shirt when the other one is, well, you know, doing this...," she wiggled her finger in the air.
"But don't the guys want you to feel them up? Wouldn't they rather have their pants off than yours?"
Joycie just shrugged. "Never seems so. They always take my pants off."
I looked down at her bikini bottom. I'd be keen to do the same. I had no idea it was so easy to get into her. She must have thought me such a kid, I hadn't tried to do a thing with her. She must think I was another Stephan.
"How many...have...how many guys have done it with you?" I asked sheepishly. My hard-on was embarrassingly obvious.
She went red again. "I dunno. Maybe ten, eleven."
"Eleven?" I whispered. I almost came. Joycie turned to look at my face, at my mind racing.
"Don't worry," she said, reading my thoughts, "most of them are people who don't really know us."
I looked at the side of her face.
"What does that mean?"
"They usually aren't guys from my group or your group. They're mostly just strangers, you know. I don't even know most of them's names," she said by way of explanation. I took a very deep breath. I struggled to keep the cum inside my shaft.
"Mostly strangers?" I asked after a while.
"Hmmm," she went quiet.
"But some people from our group?"
"Only a few," she mumbled.
"Who?" I asked flat out.
"I can't say. They have girlfriends."
Of course they do, I thought. Just like you had a boyfriend. Just like you...have...a boyfriend, it dawned on me. We'd been together about 5 weeks.
