My sexual appetite had increased remarkably since that morning. Three weeks had passed since and I had slept with two strangers. To give you an idea of my previous activities I had only slept with two men the past two years before Jenny’s party and one of them was a boyfriend. I was beginning to think that Jenny’s comments regarding my appetite for sex were becoming true.

This was verified Monday when Jenny and I were on our lunch break. She had gotten a call mid-way through. I could hear disappointment in her voice and she hung up with a deep sigh. She looked upset.

I asked what was wrong.

“You know I host those sex parties…”

Yes I did. I have already mentioned Jenny’s own appetite for sex and her numerous sexual adventures, many of which were realized through her famous, monthly sex parties. She had shared such stories numerous times and had also invited me on occasion. Each time I declined.

“Well, I was supposed to host one this Wednesday, but my apartment is being painted. I just got off the phone with them and they said they would need the whole of Wednesday and Thursday to finish it.”

“I’ll host,” I blurted out.

Jenny looked at me with skepticism.

“I’m serious. I’ll host it if you can’t.”

Jenny leaned closer, now grinning from ear to ear.

“You know they can get messy right? I mean, we are talking about like, 14 people.”

I knew all this already. Jenny was picky about her sex parties. All 14 guests, including herself and Enzo were regulars. This party, like most of the others would be composed of 7 males, and 7 females, all of whom knew each other very well. The guests were always composed of adventurous couples, most of whom had been together for a long time, or were already married. The age spectrum ranged from mid 20s to early 40s. Each participant had regular STD screenings, and knew the rules inside out, including, no cumming inside another woman, unless you were wearing a condom. Other rules included, you were only allowed to decline an activity once, and all acts were to be carried out immediately upon drawing the card. There would be no postponing or rain-checking of a sexual act.


Jenny flashed a wide grin from ear to ear and clapped her hands.

“Yes!!” Jenny exclaimed. “I’m so excited. That means you are obviously going to be there this time!” She laughed. Her glee was evident. “Don’t worry about bringing a plus 1, this is your first time so I can make an exception. Oh my God, I’m sooo excited! Ok, so let me tell you how this is going. You’re sure about this right?”

“Of course I am! You’ve been trying to invite me for months now, and I feel like I’ve turned over a new leaf. I want to be there, otherwise I wouldn’t have even offered hosting.” I smiled. Jenny’s excitement was beginning to rub off of me.

“Ok, well Wednesday worked best this time around because everyone could come. What’s going to happen is all of us are going to show up, obviously, and ummm, well, you know how it is! Usually we socialize for a bit, sometimes there is a bit of you know…”

Jenny was referring to drugs. I had forgotten about this and to be honest, the thought did bother me a great deal. But I felt that refusing now on the basis of this would disappoint Jenny too much, so I repressed my new found anxiety and allowed her continue on.

“If there are 8 or fewer, sometimes we just end up having just one massive orgy, but this time everyone is coming. So we will do the usual and play that card game…”

She continued to explain but I had heard it so many times that I memorized it. Jenny would compile 3 groups of blank paper cards. At the beginning of the party, cards would be passed to everyone. Each person would write their name down, and then Jenny would collect all these pieces of paper. She would separate the males from the females, shuffle, and alternate the stacking so that the cards were arranged male, female, male, female etc.

The second stack had sexual activities on them. Examples ranged from the less scandalous such as giving a lap dance, making out, a touch session, all the way up to oral sex, and full on sex.

Closing their eyes a person would draw a card from the first stack and shout out the name. The named person would then pull a card from the second stack and read out the activity before drawing from the third and final stack.

This final stack of cards had pre-written numbers on them; “1” and “2.”
“1” indicated that the person who’s name had been drawn first, drew one additional card from the stack of names, “2” indicated they drew two cards from the stack of names.
