The 2 main things that stick out the most are privacy and std issues. Imagine yourself shopping with someone who knows you went to the party but doesn't know the real details. Out of the blue a couple walks up to the both of you and begins talking about the party and how wild the night was. You try to keep the conversation from getting out of hand but things don't go that way. Realizing my version of the party didn't jive with the couple's version created a conversation between us that took a while to die down.
Then, there's a real problem with std's with people who swing and something that a lot of those people don't seem to care about. Ed said he heard thru the grape vine there were a few at the party that came down with some sort of std. He thinks it was some of the folks in the group rooms that had a sign on the door, "No Condom's Allowed" but he's not sure. We never ventured in to any of those rooms and we always had safe sex while we were there but, there are those who didn't which is really dumb when you think about it. Not using a condom with someone you don't know is like Russian roulette in my book and not a smart thing to do.
A few of the other things that I don't care for are: they drink too much alcohol, eat too much, and can be obnoxious. If I was able to re-do anything, I'd go to a party further from home, like 100 miles or more. November's party was 50 mile's away and I thought I was safe but, I met at least a half a dozen people there who live in the same area. As for the couple down the street, they keep to themselves but will wave or say "Hi" if we meet while out shopping. I think they're just as worried about meeting me as I was about them due to their jobs which deals with the public.
