There are aliens. One of the nastier ones has eaten part of my Easter egg! :shock:
I'll go with what's been said - I used to organise parties, but stopped after I kept getting people promising to come and then never turning up - it also wasn't helpful that a week after a party, a couple of guys (one of whom had been invited originally) turne up on my doorstep asking if there was a party that day!
Some rules can of course help, I'd go with what's been suggested and add:
Get a load of condoms/lube from your local Health Practice/GUM clinic. These are free and they won't put it on your medical record that you asked for them.
Explain to those invited that it's them, and not them and half-a-dozen of their mates, that are invited.
Find somewhere to lock valuables away, even if it's a spare room - I once found a couple going through my re-enactment gear at one of my parties. :shock:
Wayne, if you're part of a couple, why are your ads in Men Seeking Women and Men Seeling Couples?
Also, if someone has harrassed you on here, why not report them to admin and have them deal with it?
Lik everyone else has said, I use them. It would suicide in this day and age to go without them. Sadly, now that I'm a mature student, I meet young people (18 - 21 year olds) who don't see them as necessary and I have had a very heated argument with a woman at Uni who started spouting bullshit about the risk of HiV/AIDS - she seemed to think the risks were too small, until I started quoting the various reports I saw when I did Outreach work.
And has also been said, it's not just up to the man - the woman can (and should) say yes to using them!
On another site there was a couple who contacted me asking if I wanted to fly over for the weekend - we sort of lost touch after I asked if they would pay my air fare!
I'm with Fabio and Bows on this one. If I don't get on with both partners then it can feel uncomfortable. I also tlak to both - you can never have too many new friends!
