Three major circles in my life don't intersect much: game, or game awareness is one; sex clubs and open relationships is another; mainstream corporate work is the third. I'm interested in game, as any reader can tell. I've written about sex clubs and open relationships in various ways, relating to game. But the sex club and open relationship people, if they speak about game at all, denigrate it in a very mainstream way, as being creepy or predatory. I've never talked about or defended game in these venues (not using the terminology anyway). Game people online almost never speak or write about conscious non-monogamy. To my way of thinking, there should be greater overlap between game and non-monogamy, but there almost never is. If you can find any other game writers doing group sex, tell me about them.
In the mainstream corporate world, at least my part of it, almost everyone gets married… most people don't talk too much about their erotic lives. There's some talk around sex, especially around drink, but it's pretty button-up, on the surface. Lots of people are vanilla / eager to appear vanilla. The less-vanilla people hide it at work. This may be different in places like New York City or L.A., but I think it's true in most of the United States.
Underneath mainstream corporate work, there's often an erotic sizzle that happens in certain people and at certain locations, especially when it's enabled by alcohol. When I was younger I didn't realize how much booze lubricates business... it also lubricates business hookups. I don't advocate for hooking up with direct coworkers, as that invites drama and other problems, but there are many adjacent opportunities, as well as opportunities with former coworkers. Most cities also have business meetups and general conferences... they're not just about business, but business gives everyone there plausible deniability. Business travel often excites people out of their pattern and into a tryst. For a player, the problem is that there just aren't that many attractive businesswomen. There are some, especially on the younger side, but relatively few of my lays and lovers have come from this area.
Instead, they've typically come from online or in-person meetings. Many, probably the majority, have come from sex clubs or parties, but that's because sex club one-offs are common. That environment already screens for high-libido, high-openness, experimental, and horny chicks. To me, it's "easy mode." It still requires some game and more social deftness than a typical guy may assume, but I think it's easy and fun. The intersection of those appeals to me. Some guys get into game not for the lays but for the challenge. I understand that, but if I could just bang a bunch of hot chicks without game, I would do that.
(That's like saying, "If someone dropped ten million dollars in my bank account, I'd be cool with it." I might be cool with it, but except for 100 trust funders, that's not how the world works.)
I got into the sex club thing in my late 20s. I'd met this chick who was around my age, and she got into them because conventional relationships didn't work for her because she wanted (maybe still wants) too much sex.
Sounds like a weird problem, right? Only if you've never experienced these chicks. Very high-libido chicks exist. I know because I've met them, and Libido Girl was one. Sometimes they get a medical tag like "Persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD)" or labeled as sex addicts. I don't know, maybe for some of them their sexual desires mess up their lives. For a lot of them, I think it's biological variation at work... for whatever reason they want serious, hard fucking at least once and preferably twice a day.
Libido Girl was like that.
If you're a basic guy you might be thinking, "Great, I'd love it!" You do, in theory, at first. A very high libido woman will often not be able to find men who can keep up with her. So her relationships suffer and maybe her whole life suffers. Word may get around her social circle that she's a slut, and other girls better keep their boyfriends away from her. All very unpleasant things. She may be needy with her monogamous boyfriend, who can't get hard again fast enough.
If these kind of women can separate sex from emotion (not all women can, and that's one reason I'm willing to do more long game than some game guys suggest), they're often well-suited to being escorts or sex workers.
So what's a girl with a super-high libido to do? She can try to find a guy to match her. Most guys, confronted with a wildly sexual woman, will exhaust themselves eventually. Libido Girl had gone through the up-and-down monogamy cycle a bunch of times, until she figured out that she wasn't meant to be monogamous. She found out about consensual non-monogamy and group sex and began going to clubs. I don't remember how she learned. She read something or a guy told her. Quickly she got involved in the scene and then began bringing other guys into it. She'd been going for about two years when I met her.
We started hooking up, and within a week or two she asked if I wanted to go to her friends' sex party. She was a very popular guest because she was pretty (a low 7 I'd say, but good personality) and feral. Hot, low-drama, high-libido women are always welcomed. In advance she'd told me that it would be an intense experience. She was right. The party was held in someone's apartment, and something like 14 - 16 people were there. I met most of them at the beginning. It started off like a regular party. Drinks, chitchat, hanging around. After a couple drinks most of the chicks took off their dresses or fancy clothes. They started kissing each other or their partners.
Then, pretty much everyone started f**king. It was a little bit like visting a foreign country, because everyone was just doing their thing and so it seemed pretty normal, except for the obvious. When everyone around you does one thing, it's just the thing everyone does, and you kind of start to do it too. Libido Girl and I had sex; I couldn't believe all the action going on around me. I understood that some people did such things, but even then I was not fully aware how a lot of chicks will behave, sexually. Then Libido Girl had sex with another girl (who she knew well), and I kind of assisted, for lack of a better term. We took a break, and then I was basically set up with this very hot chick who was part of a couple Libido Girl knew already. Libido Girl was smart, so she watched as the other girl and I fucked, then after I was fully engaged she had sex with the guy, so that I was too busy to get jealous.
(If you have not read my novel, THE GOOD GIRL, get outa here and read it.)
The sex party was an incredible experience. The chick I got set up with was gorgeous. First intros to non-monogamy and group sex are important, and Libido Girl managed mine beautifully. Libido Girl and I went to a club a week or two after and I was pretty much hooked. The club wasn't as good as the party, but we got to meet a few cool people. Typical sex club people are in a long-term relationship, often married, and bored with each other. Sometimes the woman is quite hot, but the guy has banged her so many times that he's indifferent to her beauty. Many times, probably most of the time, she is not hot, typically due to being overweight or too old.
Libido Girl wasn't a real girlfriend, but she was courteous and straightforward about her desires and expectations... like a lot of girls are not. She wasn't ever going to be a real girlfriend in a conventional sense, but eventually I began dating other women and Libido Girl was fine with it. Chicks like Libido Girl terrify normal women, because Libido Girls don't care very much about monogamy. Libido Girl had been the source of a bunch of cheating, from her own admission, and I believe her. She had a fairly regular job, and it didn't seem like sex totally ruled her life, but she was not like other chicks and knew it. Girls like her also like online dating, because they can get sex without affecting their social reputations.
The details about Libido Girl’s life and personality wren’t obvious to me from the beginning, and she was smart enough to dole them out slowly… I learned about her from what she said and from observation in bits and pieces over several months, or more realistically about a year. I wasn't looking for anything serious at the time, having gotten out of a serious thing not too long before. She also figured out that I'm curious, open to different kinds of experience, and non-judgmental. If chicks think a guy won't judge them, they'll say a lot of things they'll keep quiet around most guys. So Libido Girl's cornerstone drives and life story came out, just not the way I've presented it. The way I've told her story is less flattering and, to most people, extremely threatening. She introduces sexual chaos to a world where the ideological and intellectual default is still monogamy.
Sex parties are a solution to a problem, or set of problems. The problem is sleeping with lots of different women and doing so somewhat efficiently. Most chicks who start as hookups will eventually ask, "Where is this going?" I'm not sure I will ever be fully monogamous again. Switching a woman's from thinking she wants monogamy to thinking she doesn't is hard for many chicks but can be done. Some will reject it. Many will go along if the guy is there to lead them. Most men are poor leaders. Many men who think they’re leaders are tyrants. There’s a difference. You see it at work.
Libido Girl was unusual but not completely unusual in her non-monogamy preferences. Very high libido chicks are often poorly suited to normal relationships. If they think about their life situation, non-monogamy can be the answer, because then they can sleep with a couple different guys and girls and still have their needs satisfied.
They have to find the right guy or guys. Lots of guys like open relationships in theory but don't in practice. Libido Girl had to break up with a lot of guys who became emotionally connected to her and wanted her to be monogamous. She'd learned not to accept monogamy, because monogamy would either break her due to her sex drive or she'd cheat on the guy.
The average chick at a sex club is not like Libido Girl. A significant minority of chicks like her go. You wouldn't know her proclivities if you met her at a meeting or over coffee. She doesn't dress much more provocatively than typical chicks. She just fucks more, more often, longer, and sooner than most chicks. If she goes on a first date with someone she likes, she's going to fuck him (or her). She's highly congruent in her psychology, which as all players know is not true of all chicks.
Typical people get into group sex experiments because friends bring them or they read something.
Libido Girl and I kept seeing each other casually until she moved for work. She's gotten fat over time, like so many people, so she's no longer of sexual interest to me. Like I wrote here, I'd guess that half to three quarters of women are up for some form of group sex, fi it’s presented properly. Many, practically all, women have threesome fantasies of some kind. A guy who can fulfill her fantasies is a guy who'll keep her coming back.
These are things I can't talk about with work friends. Sometimes I look at people and wonder how many of them are doing the same things I am, but they can't talk about it either.
At work, I'm pretty weird by corporate standards. I'm totally uninterested in things that consume others: houses, cars, TVs, boats, "vacation" houses, most forms of purchasable consumption. Sometimes I just want to ask, "Why do you buy things?" and "Why do you exist?" That would go from pretty weird to unacceptably bizarre. I love to workout, eat well, read. Inexpensive activities. And of course sex, a hobby that I can't share with others on the job. Too unruly, too dangerous, too disruptive.
Friends who see my place say I basically "live like a college student," like it's an insult. I'm like, "What's the point of spending all that money on furniture and bullshit?" Seriously, life is about the quality of your relationships and connections to other people. Sex is the ultimate pleasure and also creates relationships. Almost no one cares about your expensive couch or shitty art. Is it clean and functional? Then it's good enough. The vast consumer marketing machine ingests us all. Few can resist. Even I don't resist that well. We can all do better, as human beings.
