We are going to a party

[newlythree]

Ok we have been invited to a house party. I have no idea what to expect. So I was hoping a few of you could tell me some experiences you have had or things to be aware of. We are comfortable with the people having the party but do not think we know any of the guests. Some questions I do have are:

Do you bring a nightie?

How long should you stay if you are not into the people there? (Maybe good conversation but aren't up for sex with the people) Don't want to be rude!

Now that I think about it, any info would be helpful. This board seems to be the textbook for the lifestyle. I figure with any lifestyle change research is the best way to an easy transition.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Every house party is different. Some house parties never really get going to the point of play so you may go and find you are enjoying talking to people and it's not an issue. However, if you go and you aren't into anyone then you'll probably eventually want to leave anyway, so just go ahead and do so when you feel the urge (or when the action starts, whichever comes first). If it's a larger house party it won't be as much of an issue if you hang out and don't play with others at all. If it's smaller (less than 8-10 couples) then you may find yourselves out of place if you don't play.

I would suggest going prepared to play, take a night or a change of clothes, take condoms, lubes, whatever else you may want if you do decide to play. As with everything, go prepared for anything, but expecting nothing.

The best thing to do when going to a particular house party for the first time is to try to get a hold of the hosts and talk to them, either by phone or email. They can give you an idea of what goes on, how to dress, what to bring, the best area to hang out if you're new, etc. Good luck!
