Well, if people stay late after the SMB, London on a sunday morning is very quiet indeed. We did a nice set one sunday with the Houses of Parliament in the background, Buckingham Palace and Oxford Street - all pretty much empty, and the few people who were around didn't seem to object to seeing J starkers.
With several people around to help keep an eye out for unwanted viewers it shouldn't be that difficult to do! We'd certainly be up for it and no mistake.
P&J
Well, having spent a bit of time on the site, and posted a couple of times, thought we should introduce ourselves a bit.
Phil and Jill, or Jill and Phil if you prefer, recently moved to Essex, mid 40's couple, married for 20 years and if anything happier than the day we married. Been into pervery for years and years - had our first scene before we were married actually. Don't tend to get out to clubs and suchlike very often, but enjoy it when we do.
As well as seeing other folks we also enjoy bodypainting, which is fun - we did a session once where J had a painted top and jeans on, so was actually starkers bar shoes, and went for a walk in the high street, and no-one noticed a thing. There's a small example from the set we took as our avatar.
We also do nude in public photography, which is a challenge to do it in such a way that no-one gets upset and there are no kiddies around, but we manage.
And we also go dogging now and then as well, and are just starting to suss out appropriate places not to far from us. Oh yes, and then there's webcamming as well.. I guess we could be described as 'omniperves', cos we're interested in most things!
SH seems to be a nice site, and very friendly, so we're hoping to meet people socially, at least as much (if not more) than for any other reason. Been in the chatroom a couple of times, so do feel free to say hi and such like.
Oh yes, and if anyone is interested, we've got ads at 110296 and 127399 (for meetings couples and locations for photography respectively).
Look forward to chatting to a few of you - we'll be at the Sex Maniacs Ball, so if anyone fancies saying hallo, we'll be around!
P&J.
Hiya debbie,
You might want to read up on the thread SH invasion of the Sex Maniacs Ball, which mentions it in some detail, and several people have said they're going to it, and we'll be there as well.

The easiest way that we've found of blocking pop ups is to use the Google Toolbar. This is a free add on to your Internet Explorer browser bar which does a whole bunch of fancy things, but also blocks pop ups. It's currently blocked 7635 of the little swines on the computer I'm currently using. You can get it from and it installs itself without any help from you, and if you don't like it, you can uninstall it just as easily.
However, not all pop ups come from web pages - some will be delivered to your machine from trojan packages that have managed to install themselves, and will deliver adverts when you visit specific sites, such as for example. Although they look like pop ups, and act like them, they're a different beast entirely. Consequently, it's also worth getting (as others have said), Ad Aware, but I'd also get a copy (free) of Spybot search and destroy - you'll need to run both, because neither of them catches all of the beasties on your machine.
That should get rid of the vast majority of them, as long as you remember to run them on a regular basis to keep your computer clear of them, since these trojans have a habit of coming back.
Hi jna,
You've already received a lot of good advice, but it's not going to stop me adding mine! I'm ignoring the whole 'persuasion' element, and going on the fact that you've said you both want to try this.
First of all, it's not a race, and you're not in competition with anyone; for heavens sake, don't put yourselves under pressure to do something in a particular space of time. Enjoy the fact that you've decided to do this, and savour the whole thing together. You don't have to leap in at the deep end and advertise for a guy to join you in a 3-some, or with your wife while you watch.
We both started off by fantasising about what it would be like, and sad to say this was in the days before the Internet, so we put an advert in Forum magazine for a guy to watch us. No touching at all, just watch. We went through the replies together, and we both made a rule that either of us could veto anyone who had responded for any reason at all, and we stuck to that. We found a guy we both liked, made it clear to him that it was watching only, found ourselves a hotel room and had a great time.
We then spent a lot of time afterwards talking about it - what we liked about the session, what we didn't and so on, and that way we were both more confident and secure in each other, and knew that yes, we both liked and enjoyed it and wanted to do it again. So we did.
Over the course of time (and here I mean several years), we progressed from watching to touching to the other guy being fully involved. And every time we did something, we talked about it afterwards in a 'cool, calm and collected' state. I can honestly say that not only have we enjoyed all these encounters, but the 'journey' itself has been great fun. If we'd just jumped in at the deep end I think we'd both have a) missed out and b)perhaps not enjoyed our ultimate of J with another guy while P watched.
So, take things at a slow pace and remember that you're not in a race, you're not competing with anyone else and communicate, communicate and communicate all the time. Decide what works and do some more of it, and if you didn't both enjoy something, don't do that one again. I think it's vitally important that you're both happy and confident with each step you take, before moving onto the next one.
Hope that helps.

We've both done Dungeon Monitoring at the SMB for several years, so we know it quite well. It's generally a fairly chaotic event, with a lot of different things happening at the same time, with people moving around from one thing to another. I don't know if it's going to be happing this year but you can expect to find:
The SMB award ceremony. This is usually very full, so if you're interested in seeing it, make sure you get a seat early. It also over runs, usually by an hour, so take that into account if you're planning on seeing/doing other stuff.
There's an art exhibition, which is always worthing looking at as there is some superb work on show.
Quite often there are striptease acts, so if that's your thing, look out for them.
There's often at least one or two guys who are keen on the whole watersports thing, and they'll have an area set aside for (usually just women) to pee on them.
The dungeon, with various bits of kit to play on. Normally it's only couples who are actually let in to play, but it's behind fencing, so if you're not part of a couple, or not sure you want to get involved, you can always just watch.
There is usually a room for people into exhibitionism (that'd be us then), again for couples, while others can watch through peep holes specially created for the purpose.
There's a room set aside for gays - never been in so can't comment, but you can use your imagination!
I suspect that there'll be a number of other things happening as well, but those are the things you can usually find there. Most people are very respectful and will take no for an answer, but you also do get single guys who think they can grope anything that moves, so you may need to be firm with people, but we've never found it a problem.
Be prepared to pay huge amounts of money for drinks.
Be prepared to stand for hours - there is little if any seating, and most of what there is tends to be in the exhibitionists room.
In summary, the SMB is sleazy, tacky and very good fun, though hard on the feet.
Hope that helps.
