ADVENTURES TOGETHER
by Musings of Pan
I have been going to "Adventures Together", a singles club, for quite some time now. It is a casual gathering of single men and women who have monthly gatherings. These gatherings include things like a bowling night, a pool party, dinner and a play, and other interesting outings. It is a great time to socialize in a relaxed atmosphere. We are not trying to pick up dates so that takes off the pressure. We can all just be who we are without trying to impress.
Oh, I am John, 32 years old with a middle management job in a large corporation. I try to take care of myself by running about 4 miles three times a week and playing tennis whenever I can find the time and a partner. It's not that I am not interested in women, I am, it is just that I am not comfortable with the bar scene pickup routine. So I will probably remain a bachelor, which does not bother me.
One evening we were out on a party boat ride. One of those which takes a group out in the bay for a couple of hours with plenty of snacks beer and wine. I was into my third (I think) beer and feeling fine while I stood by the rail admiring the city lights and talking with Jeff and Rita. Rita looked at Jeff and quietly said, "I think it is time we told him." Jeff nodded.
"Tell me what?" I asked, wondering if my fly was open or what other social mistake I was making.
The led me to the bow of the boat where there was no one else nearby. Then Jeff started, "John, you have been with Adventures Together for long enough that we trust you so we can tell you about this. There is another level of the club which is known only to a select few. We have a different type of adventures. The purpose of this smaller group is to provide some safe sexual relief without the burden of long term attachments. We are wondering if you would like to join us. Of course you must agree not to speak of this to anyone outside the group."
It took me a minute to process this. I thought I knew all about Adventures Together and had no clue that anything like this was going on. However, my sex life has been nonexistent for too long now so this might be interesting. I agreed not to tell anyone and asked to hear more.
They explained that this group meets the evening after the club regular monthly activity in a private room at the local VFW post. To find out more I was to be there tomorrow at 7:30 PM and I was assured that I would like it.
I really didn't know what to expect but the next evening I showed up at the VFW post and was directed to a room upstairs. The room was for private meetings or parties, plainly furnished with tables along the walls and folding chairs. I knew everyone there. Six men including me and six women from Adventures Together. Two men were setting up the folding chairs in a strange way, in twos side by side with the two chairs facing in opposite directions. The pairs of chairs were about six feet apart and formed a rough circle. A box of tissues was placed by each pair.
When all was apparently ready Jeff spoke up, "Before we start, as you know Ken had to leave our group because he is moving for a better job. So we have invited John to join us to keep our boys and girls balance. He is new to us so be gentle on him." This brought about laughter.
