This section is primarily of interest to those who reside in or visit northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA). |
As you might have already read on some of the other parts of this site, one of the things I really miss since moving to NEPA are the monthly parties (all right, orgies), I and Lou and my friends Andre and Mark used to organize back in Brooklyn. Over the course of a couple of years, we had these invitation-only gatherings down to a science, with an average of 40-50 guys per session and a record of 72 one month. Before you ask: no, there are no videotapes; yes, there are some photos, and no, you can't have them ... (chuckle)
Here in NEPA, social norms are a little different. Originally I thought this was too conservative an area to even entertain the notion, but experience -- weekends at Hillside, parties with buddies from the Silhouette, and even the occasional romp with some newly-found netpals -- has taught me otherwise. What's missing is a way for those of us into group action to find each other without the prissy little dance twink at the end of the bar sniffing, "Oh, that's awful; I want true love!"
Gag me with a spoon ... or better yet, your dick.
Anyway <ahem!> After getting a lot of inquiries over the past months as to whether or not I was going to start this little group back up out here, I've finally decided to give it a shot ... after all, Hillside's great in the summer, but NEPA winters don't lend themselves to naked romps in the woods. Whether this goes anywhere or just becomes one of those ideas I shouldn't have bothered with will depend on the kind of responses I get.
What I'd basically like to start off with is, go over some of the basics, and then to gauge the amount of interest there is in actually participating in group action get-togethers.
Finding Propects
When we were first doing this back in New York City, the Internet hadn't yet taken off, so instead we used local gay bulletin board systems and AOL. Here, vintage 1994, is an extract from one of the adverts we used to post:
| Small, super-discreet group of healthy guys (legal, average to HOT, gay,
bi, bi and married, closeted, out - you name it!), get together in varying combinations
for hot, safe action in a large private home with off-street parking -- and we'd like to
recruit "a few [more] good men." We're choosy, but we're not stuck-up -- the average "guy-next-door" type is just as welcome as a centerfold/GQ-type. What's important is your desire and ability to have a good time in an intimate atmosphere. A sense of humor runs a close second, and if you're looking for some discreet buddies, great - everybody quickly becomes close friends. |
If this is the kind of ad you'd be tempted to respond to, read on.
Ground Rules & Policies
These have evolved both from years of experience actually doing this sort of thing, and checking around with other groups to see what sort of basic guidelines they set. Click on the appropriate section to read it:
Please be sure to read 'em all ... there'll be a quiz later.
Interested?
Now here's where things get interesting - if this sounds like the kind of thing you'd enjoy, you have to do more than sit there whacking off thinking about it: you have to let us know!
Obviously, you'll need to send e-mail introducing yourself. Be sure to include the following:
- Your name (first name will do for now);
- Your location (not your street address; city/town will do fine);
- The usual stats - age, height, weight, hair and eye color, any facial/chest/body hair, endowment or any other statistic you're proud of;
- A brief description of the kinds of thing you've enjoyed doing in group scenes in the past, or would like to do, if you've never been in one.
- Your recent picture, in GIF or JPG format (remember, if you don't have one, you'll need to be screened in person).
Some notes on photos:
- For the protection of all, your photo must clearly show your face, but you can send more than one if you wish (i.e., body-only shots and a face-only shot).
- An ordinary, everyday, clothed snapshot is perfectly fine.
- Please, don't bother to send photos which you've culled from the newsgroups. If you haven't noticed already from the galleries, I've seen them all.
- Your photo(s) will not be used on this site, published to the net, distributed or used in any other way.
If you are unable to meet these requirements, you will need to be screened in person.
To make sure your letter gets handled correctly, use this special e-mail link. Please note that, in the interests of time and weeding out assholes, one-line responses (as in, "I'm interested, tell me more"), will not be responded to.
If you are especially concerned about security and privacy, click here to get my PGP public key and encrypt your message before sending it.
Finally, if you're tempted to send one of those tedious, "How disgusting! How can you have sex without love? Me and my boyfriend blah, blah, blah ..." letters, please, don't waste your time. Go turn straight and find Jesus if you want to be monogamously married.
What Then?
Once we've got a strong base - a decent number of guys who're interested - two things will happen: one, we'll start to throw out prospective dates for a get-together, and two, I'll add a special section to this website (available only to group members), with the stats and so forth of everyone who has expressed a solid interest.
What happens then is as much up to the group as anyone else. Many guys in the Brooklyn group became buddies and got together outside of the parties, both sexually and non-sexually. Everyone valued the camaraderie and trust shared with other group members, and many friendships, long- and short-term, were born.
Long-term, something I'd really like to do would be to enhance that special group-only section of the website with photos and the like. An example (albeit a very slow one), of what I'd like the end result to be can be found on the homepage of a Chicago group, at http://members.aol.com/chigroup99/index.html, or a similar one in southern California (at http://www.socalorgy.com). Whether there are enough guys around here who're secure enough to post their photos is something else that remains to be seen ... :)
See ya' in the trenches!
