The following is a true story and although some of the details may be a little different than what really happened (my memory is not that good), on the whole, the story is true and I have written it to be as close to what really happened as possible. Also, all parties indicated in the story were at least 18 at the time of the events.
I have this friend, for the purposes of this story I'll call him John. John is a bit of a pervert, but he is one of those guys that you just can't help but like and enjoy being with. He and I have been friends since high school and he is THE bad influence in my life. Every once in a blue moon, he calls and asks if I "want to go and have some fun tonight." At first, this statement seemed a little harmless and I always jumped at the chance, but every once in a while it turns into something that really pushes the envelope of my personal preferences.
This one particular summer afternoon, he called:
"Hey Jennβ¦It's John. You got any plans for the evening? You want to go and have some fun tonight?"
"Hi Johnβ¦What do you have in mind?"
"I can't tell you that. You interested?"
He always does this to me. He knew he had me and I could tell he was grinning on the other end of the phone because he knew what this would do to me.
"Well, shouldn't I at least know what I am getting into and maybe what to wear?"
"Wear something sexy."
"Any other details you are willing to divulge?"
I heard a giggle then "Nope. I'll pick you up at 7:00. It is a bit of a drive and we will be out late so you may want to take a nap this afternoon."
"What are we doing John?"
"You'll see. If you don't like it then you don't have to be my friend anymore. See you at 7."
I then immediately heard a click on the other end and he was gone.
With John, there is never telling what to expect, other than something uninhibited, wild and/or surreal will be involved. I of course spent the day wondering what the heck I was about to get into, but I went about my business taking care of my house chores and errands that I needed to get done.
At 7:00 I was all ready. I had a sexy black dress on with these really cool high heels that I had bought for a wedding I attended a few months earlier. He showed up at 7:00 sharp, knocked at the door and walked in as I opened the door for him. He smiled and looked me up and down as he walked into my apartment.
"Perfect!" was all he could say.
"Thank you. So where are we going?"
"You'll see. I'll tell you more about it when we get close to the place."
"John! What are we doing?"
"You'll see. Trust me. You'll have a great time."
Although John is a pervert and very secretive about these types of things, I knew him well enough to know he would never do anything that would cause me any harm. I also knew that whatever we got into, he would let me control the choices. He would never put me in the position of doing something I really wouldn't do.
We had driven north for about an hour and he finally started telling me what his plan was.
"OK. Here is what is up. Have you ever been to a swing club?"
"A what?"
He just laughed. "A swing club."
"No. What is a swing club?"
"In our society, there are growing number of couples that openly share their partner with other people. This used to be done mostly as home parties, but a few places have turned this into a club. The place we are going tonight is called a swing club."
"But we aren't really a couple John, right?"
"That's right, but these clubs have gone beyond simple couple sharing and basically have turned into sex clubs. Tonight, you will see things that you probably can't see in any other place. You likely will see sex acts and nudity, female on female, male on female, group nudity, group sex, voyeurism, you name it and there is a good chance you are going to see it. If you want, you also can participate in any of it that you feel comfortable with, but only if you want to participate. That is an important rule of the club. A person must ask permission and No means No. Anyone violating these rules is promptly thrown out."
I didn't know what to say. This went way beyond anything we had ever done before and way beyond anything I had ever thought about. My head was truly spinning by everything he had just said.
"Are you still interested? We can go back if you aren't comfortable with it."
I had to admit. He certainly had a flare for pushing the envelope with me. I mean, I had been sexually active for a handful of years and had done some things that I know most of my friends had never done, but here I was considering doing something that was completely out of the realm of thought. Something so wild, I couldn't wrap my head around it.
"So, let me get this straight. This place will be full of people from all walks of life in different stages of nudity and sexual acts and everyone will be watching?"
"Not exactly. There are public rooms and private rooms. Some people will only be there to watch. Some will get drunk, loud and obnoxious. There will be dancing and games and socializing and friendly people everywhere. Nobody is required to do anything, but everyone is pretty much allowed to do anything they want as long as there is consent involved."
