UPDATE: early June 2013: Been a long time since we've bothered to update this, so I thought it was time. Back when we first signed on here we had a few very successful parties and met some great people in process. Stopped having them for a few years because we were out-of-town most summer weekends. This year we decided to have another party, "Cook-out 'n Sex in the City." Here's how we work it: come to our place in DC, have dinner (some kind of grilling, or whatever--nothing too fancy). You get a chance to eat, have a few drinks, get to know the people. If you're comfortable and want to stay and play, great. If you would like to take off, that's okay too. I will say that we never had anyone opt out. We are really down to earth, city types, casual and don't put on much pretense. If you are the same, we would love to hear from you. Here's the scoop, we welcome couples, women and men. We're more inclined to invite those that we feel will "fit" and be fun over much thought about the number of men, women and couples. Obviously, some balance is required between sexes. We're only talking 8-10 people. Sexual preference, hey man that's up to you-- bi, straight, whatever, who's to judge? Just let people know what you're comfortable with. That's about it. Note, we're standard members now, so send us a pic and tell us about yourself when you respond. Excuse any typos or errors, if you find any please ignore them, I'm a writer so I'm sensitive. Here's some other stuff I wrote about 5 years ago, but I'm sure it still applies... We have been in the lifestyle for about six years and have hosted several parties at our home in the past. While this profile is new, we have had an AFF profile in the past and met several great people on the site. We love to cook and entertain, so are welcome to small groups of down-to-earth, smart, polite, fun people who like to get together and enjoy life…escape from the day-to-day grind. Looking forward to hearing from you.
