That my ex wife denied it ever happened. No, really, she later claimed I had fantasized the entire thing; if it had been a fantasy it would have had two ladies and not my best friend. ---

Most surprising? That I was the last one involved to realize it was going on. It was reeeeally dark in the room, and for at least the first few minutes all of the body parts I was aware of could be attributed to a single woman…until that extra mouth showed up 😃 Second most surprising: that the GF and I never discussed it afterwards. We used to talk about everything. But not that. ---

That it is really hard to focus on 2 people at the same time. Though I would be willing to give it a go again but this time with 2 guys instead of being one of the 2 women involved. Maybe it just takes practice after all! 😃 ---

[hijack] I busted up laughing when I read the title of this thread. Then my husband looked over my shoulder and said, “What surprised you the most about WHAT? Your Men-a-gay a Trolls?” It made no sense. And now I’m laughing harder. [/hijack] ---

That it didn’t really happen. There were these two girls, close enough friends that they called themselves sisters. They suggested it. I went over, we had a bit to drink and kissed and played (fully clothed) a bit. One of them got so drunk she went to bed alone. The other one gave me a consolation bj. I have always wished that had gone a bit differently. ☹ ---

First one: That it involved a Uzbek. Second one: That it happened at all, considering how gorgeous the guys were, and the fact that they were on their honeymoon. ---

there were many surprises, but the biggest one was that I had an apparent knack for getting another woman off. I had no experience with it and figured I’d be horrible, but it quickly became obvious that I was doing something right. my other big surprise was that the guy wasn’t as into it as the girl. made things a little skewed-and-awkward. ---

It was going just fine until the other guy tried to kiss me. Instant limpdick and exit stage left.
