Question already answered in the thread. (I didn’t pay close enough attention to see that it was a long thread).

There is no way anyone still reading this thread would believe it. It’s true, but at this point if I were to post it I’d have a mix of people thinking I’m channeling Walter Mitty and others saying whatever it takes to make them feel superior. I have a high tolerance level, but I am human and not sociopathic, so I have feelings. I’m pretty much done. Close the fucking thread, please.

I actually began writing a description of what happened, but even as I read it, it seemed too outrageous to believe for anyone else. Pretty damn sure none of the people still following the thread would ever believe it. Hell, I barely believe it.

Tell us or I will sodomize you with my keyboard. :mad:

Fine, here it is; and I know there’s NO way anyone will believe it…was approached by a couple, mid thirties or early forties, the husband is a voyuer and wanted to watch someone with his wife, and I accepted. One night only as far as I can tell (they’re visiting from the west coast for a week) and the guy just wanted to watch and get himself off. Made me feel weird as hell, having someone watch; kept thinking the guy was either going to join in or stab me or something, but he stayed off to the side, quietly watching. It was otherwise pretty standard, no other kinds of kink or fetishes involved. It was a rather awkward goodbye, though.

Lauren keeps moving along from guy to guy, as I knew she would. Like I said, I don’t reallly expect her to be anything more than a fuckbuddy from time to time. The big challenge right now is to keep myself from getting too emotionally attached to her. But she has a way of severing emotional attachments, so I’m sure she’ll take care of that if I get too close.

Here’s the deal: you are an attention whore. Just admit it. When you do _multiple posts_ about how you WOULD post an update, but it’s just SO unbelievable that you KNOW no one would believe you… no, seriously, it’s CRAY-ZAYYYYY… seriously guys, this is SO nuts… I typed it out and even I thought it was unbelievable!!!

You’re an attention whore.

I have to come in at this point just so that I can say I came in this thread.

Since everyone else knows the big C has, well, now I have too…

You should ask to change your username to **CuckBull**.

At this point, **Cuckoorex** , you’re better off just asking the mods to close this trainwreck and getting a Live Journal.

I have never cared wether this thread is fact or fiction, it’s a fun read. The navel gazing, the snark, the advice, the poetry. Cmon Rexy, keep it coming.
