Patriotic Sex

[BigNikki]

(I hope I'm not out of line in reposting something I posted before, but it ended up where the real topic -- "Patriotic Sex" -- got lost in discussing Memorial Day.)

Big Nikki here --

Memorial day, and other patriotic holidays, mean a lot in our family. On both sides, John's and mine, we're a family of immigrants. Well, just about everybody in America in descended from immigrant stock, but in our family most of the immigration is in the last three generations. Immigration is within living memory. We're really glad to be here.

We love America and America loves us.

Looking broadly through our extended families, we have relatives who have fought in every war from WW I on. We have relatives who died in almost all of them. More immediately we have grandparents who fought in the Second World War. (And in the extended family, other relatives who also fought in WW II, but not on this side.)

In our elder relative's homes, pride-of-place goes to the display of service metals. Before family pictures, before the crosses, before the shrines; the metals. And when our boys go to war, they've been brought up to be the first out of the trenches, so to speak and they're expected to come home with metals (though not everybody has the opportunity to earn them). Patriotism matters our family.

Big families have big Memorial Day picnics. But by mid-afternoon, John and I have slipped away from ours. Nobody knows what we're doing, and we're glad they don't ask.

Here is what we do for Memorial Day. Every year since John and I have been married, we head for the touristy part of our city and get a pair of rooms in a hotel. A nice hotel if we've been making good money; a cheap one if not. This year a cheap one. Then we head out, looking for servicemen and women who are seeing the town.

Any serviceman on the streets on Memorial Day is someone who doesn't have family or friends to spend the day with, doesn't have their people to thank them for their service to their country. That's our job.

We chat with those we encounter, buy them drinks, snacks if they're hungry. Let them know they're appreciated.

Then, then -- well, you know what board you are on, so you know where this is going. If things look right, we offer to show them more gratitude. When they read gay, we let them know what's on offer, 'cause we're both bi. And that isn't just with John. Three times now, over the years, we've found a lonely service woman who I've made less lonely. It hasn't yet happened that John has entertained a straight service woman, but it could happen.

We have done MFM a few times. And in one unusual circumstance, I entertained two women; FFF.

You may be wondering, since servicemen tend to travel in packs, about me showing our gratitude to more than one man at a time. Well, yes, we've done it. But we're not fools, we know how that could get out of hand, especially with frisky young men who aren't in a social situation that constrains misbehavior. That's part of why we get two hotel rooms with an adjoining door. When I'm with a guy or two, John is in the next room, ready to keep the peace. (The same goes with me next door when he's entertaining.)

I'm glad to say we've never had to brandish the Taser or otherwise have things get out of hand. I think that's mostly due to our very good reading of people we meet. Still we play it safe.

But we have shown a number of men and women in uniform that we are grateful for what they do for our country.

I love America. And I believe in Patriotic Sex. If you sacrifice to serve your country, in the military or otherwise, I want to thank you and I'll thank you with the best sex I can give.

Our men and women in the military deserve to be treated the best we can. Thank you for your help!!

Thinking of this, made me think back to the bombing in Oklahoma City and the rescue operation that followed. Many came to help out and many locals came to help them do their job. I actually heard an interview with a lady who was serving meals to the men and women who were searching the destroyed building. During this, she mentioned how much she appreciated the men especially who were away from home and doing all they were doing. She even mentioned that she would really like to show her appreciation to a few, if she thought that she could. One of the men in the story knew exactly what she meant and said that he wished it could happen too. I don't remember their exact words, but their meanings were clear. I have an idea that she was not the only one thinking that way either.

That was a very sad time, but made much more bearable by the wonderful people who helped in any way they could.

All of us East Coast sailors knew that the West Coast sailors were getting a better deal, and this just goes to prove it.

Thanks for your support!

We look after our boys in Bremerton (and the girls too).

Interesting post

My wife and I were noting that of all the men she's played with in swinging, a large majority of them have been in the military or had been so. It's not intentional per se; but she's doing her part to be thankful

Even though official military culture is rather prudish, there's a considerable overlap between those who are comfortable with the military and those who are comfortable with swinging, I think.

They are prudish for a reason. They have laws concerning their "morality".

Thanks,
I'm a vetran who remembers when we weren't treated so well.

Ah, that must have been Viet Nam. A bad war, badly fought. And we treated our soldiers so very badly.

I was only two when it ended, but I remember my extended family crying and crying. We are very patriotic and most of our men and some of our women volunteer to serve; it is expected in our family. The ignoble end of that war touched us deeply.

We cleave to the culture of our ancestral home but we do not cleave to the country, which once fought against America. We love America.

You are in Georgia? Where in Georgia? John and I might visit you and your wife some time, and thank you.
