Would you ever go to a play party?

[Lefty]

gar, jetson was a tad bitchier than necessary critiqueing you. i think he fixated on your first sentence not the whole thought so, not really your bad.

op, i probably wouldn't go as an active participant as i am a little private about my cavortings but sounds like it would be a fascinating cult experience to witness and maybe chat up a few others . if you go, write back and tell all so to speak.

btw, thx for explaiing what the party really was.

 

[honooryuu]

i havent been to any but i am interested in going.

 

[ixthrock]

Ish... You know, even if you are both parties positive you still run the risk of re-infection...

jasun couldn't NOT know that, given his industry. He didn't sound like a participant' I gather he was TRYING to come across as a non-judgmental observer, but hey, we ARE talking about barebacking. Can you hear him discussing this issue with a loved one? don't we all have enough on our plates without going there for someone else?

 

[ixthrock]

almost got an invitation to blow buddies in SF, and that was over a decade ago. Is there truly nothing new under the sun? Question: are we going overboard trying to find a sex-positive respose to HIV? There are the bug chasers and the sero-converted gleefully swapping strains and guzzling pharmaceutical cocktails to stave off the wasting and keep their six-pack abs.

I really DID just want to be with you alone, to talk about the weather. And maybe smoke a cigar and drink a beer.

 

[ixthrock]

I think you hit the nail on the head.
Really, In my case, (and my impression is, Jasun's too) the point is that you're preaching to the choir.

But I can be really naieve. I've seen dying teens coughing their lungs out from opportunistic cancers, so I assume everyone else enters into barebacking with informed consent.

but of course, I'm specially informed, and so different.

My bad, dude, readily admitted. Damn effin young punks, whaata they think, they're indestructible?

Portland is having a few pansexual play parties.


Think bathhouse, but anyone over 18 or 21 can go depending on the place. Safe sex is required and checked. Besides that drugs are suppose to be left outside. The biggest rule is if someone says “no”. The party I am thinking of going to will have G, L, B, T, I & Q people there. Anyone you are attracted to you just have to ask if they are willing. A lot of people just go to watch as well.


I don't know why, but I thought people would know what a play party was. Sorry.

I've never heard the term "play party", but it sounds like it could be fun. I'd go. Be sure to have an open mind.

 

[Yooper]

Never been invited to a 'Play Party' per se, but certainly been to parties that involved a significant amount of 'playing'.

I have, however, been invited to a members-only BDSM club that meets regularly, apparently has a dedicated building in a not so great part of town for their own use. They even have a website with the calendar, guest demonstrations, etc.

It seems a bit too hardcore even for me.

(If anyone wants the website please PM me)

 

[JasunStrikesBack]

Uh, he also said it was "bullshit" that there was unprotected sex...

Um, the "bullshit" was about the meth and x, actually. Which are never allowed.

Consensual or not, bareback is still unprotected sex. More than likely the "bullshit" was refferring to the use of the words "lots of" to the post in which he was responding too.

I'd really prefer if people let me speak for myself...

To be honest, most of the reading I've done about "re-infection" for the last few years has said that it's probably more myth than reality. More 80s AIDS hysteria and one of the many arguments left over from the "we should quarantine then all" and "it should be illegal for them to have sex with anyone" days.

Besides... it's their lives... I'm never going to tell anyone how they can have sex and if you think just stopping play parties is going to stop HIV+ people from barebacking, you're crazy.

 

[alley]

I keep getting invited to a few--but I don't know the guys and I really don't want to walk into some strange scene.

 

[gdude30]

Okay simple answer.

You go to a play party people are barebacking. You either participate or leave. You got to a play party and people are using condoms participate and leave. No one is forcing you to bareback or get involved in unsafe sex.

And to the whole play part thing. Well isn't this fun.

There is "Play and Party" which is drugs, drinking, loud music, and mixed with sex.

There is Play Party" such as an orgy with a group of men either bareback, protected, or whatever. Most likely depends on who hosts it. But what people do are up to them and you most likely can go to just observe and chat. People gotta come up for air sometime I suppose.

Now there is also "Play Party" which means "Play" as fetish and kinky stuff.

Like dungeons with flogging, bondage, candle, maybe some CBT, and more BSDM play than actual sex. Although I'm sure sex goes on.

I thought that Play Parties refered to the more kinky and BSDM participation. But I guess it can mean too many things.

 

[boxerdudeuk]

no thanks.

 

[RationalLunacy]

I used to go to play parties all the time when I lived in San Francisco. Unfortunately, I was usually told to quiet down by the dungeon master because I was being too disruptive. Can you imagine? Me, disruptive??!!

 

[Footballjock9002]

Go and do what you do, but make sure you or whomever...WRAPS IT UP.

Why does that not surprise me

 

[Kanemahu]

I totally wanna go to one! That would be awesome to witness even if not as a participant. Sounds a lot like the party house in "Shortbus".

 

[Rex]

Hell no.

I've been invited to these group sex parties from guys on manhunt. Not my style at all. I'd be way too scared to catch a disease and I'd rather just have one on one sex with someone. I can't imagine going to a place with a group of strangers and doing something like that. I think it's kind of disgusting....

 

[Harke the Boeotarch]

Whats a play party? Sounds like something little kids have.

Great. I'll get my plastic pretend tea set and put all the dolls and cuddly toys on chairs.

If you are asking what I think you are. No!

Lot of X, meth and unprotected sex.

* Drops plastic pretend tea set. *

Been to a few... some pool parties... which had some play/sex areas, and dungeon parties...

We don't have pool parties here. We only have [STRIKE]communist[/STRIKE] public swimming pools.

Oddly enough I seldom go to have sex. I usually just hang out and have a cigar and meet people. The last one I went to I decided I wanted my dick sucked and I walked up to a guy who was bent over and hung my dick in his face.... he started to blow me.

I looked up to see who was fucking him.

You know how there are some things you should never see your kid brother doing?

Hurray! Another "incest" thread.

I do like to go to play parties. The ones we go to are usually in clubs. Unfortunately my monkey doesn't enjoy himself much there, so we only do it once in a while.

If you are asking what I think you are. No!

Lot of X, meth and unprotected sex.

Unfortunately, this is the norm at the play parties here. Lots of E, GHB and GBL.
And of course poppers.

This is what my Firefox comes up with

Yeah, I wondered that, too.

It is actually a business/club that is putting it on. Anyone of age can go. This one is being put on by a leather club in Portland. I figure I am open for pretty much anything, so I will see what happens. Besides its not until August anyways. I not really into just having sex to have sex, but I’m not ruling it out. I am mostly wanting to go to see if I can make any friends, I might even join the Leather Alliance.

 

[ixthrock]

thy, did you ever tell us how this went?
i know, i'm around so infrequently....
