So, I am so excited about having a camera and can't wait to receive feedback regarding how Austin and I should use it :). So...interested in seeing us on a cam??

Port Forecast

So this is the third week in a row that Austin and I are not having port. We have done a "meeting" every week for a while, but have not played in three weeks. Everyone is out of our radar for the moment (out of town, on bedrest, etc.). Yesterday Austin said, "So, how do you feel about this being the third week in a row that we haven't played?" Ok, how odd a question is that? Seems like port has become such a part of our lives that we miss it when we don't get it regularly :). Don't get me wrong...or as they say "don't get it twisted," I am relisihing this "down time." I have a feeling that the end of October will be very port-iful lol!! So, we do have a meeting on Sunday. A couple that we have been chatting with for a while.

As usual, you will get an update :)

Should Austin and I get a cam??

A friend has a cam and it is awesome. Should Austin and I get a cam?? It would only be for those in our "circle of port." And...it would not be for explicit content...only soft stuff (i.e., i might flash you every now and then). LOL!! So, if Austin and I got a cam, would you be interested in seeing us in real time?

My New James Bond Swim Suit

Here is a picture of my new swim suit. It is silver and has a cool silver belt. I think it is somewhat flattering. It reminds me of something that the James Bond "girls" would wear. Shaken, not stirred...

Pulp Fiction

I am convinced that Pulp Fiction is my movie of the moment. The more I watch it, the more I realize that this movie speaks to me on so many levels. First, it is funny as hell. Ok, who couldn't laugh at the antics of two hitmen struggling to guard a "secret package"...and what about the music? Brilliant!Yes, the language is curt and coarse. Quentin T. uses the "n" word to punctuate every sentence and that is annoying to me. There is too much violence...gratuitous violence of course. But, the movie is so witty and uses humor to delve into our deepest and darkest desires. It is a commentary on the battle between good and evil that exists within us all. It is definitely a must see.

A recap...

So, we had dinner with Sam and Yancey last night. Afterwards we went to their place and met their puppy. They are truly creative and enjoy life. No, we did not play...we just hung out. They are going out of town for a few weeks.

Tonight we are breaking our rule. We are meeting a new couple for drinks. We said that we would not meet any new couples but this one seems really fun. They are featured on a blog and so they are probably way more experienced than we can handle :). But, we really like their profile and they seem really down-to-earth. So...no pressure...just drinks.

I think I am going to take some new photos this weekend and post some here. Not sure what they will look like. So, what kind of photos should I take?? This is your time to contribute. What would you like to see???

By the way, Blake, I did not take pictures of my sexy school girl outfit...I need to remember to keep my camera charged. Also, Fiama, thanks for the skin compliment. So, there are at least three people who believe I have buttery soft skin. Any others??

Also, perhaps we should not give up on ALL parties. We have a new game plan...we will only go to parties with other couples. Anyone care to invite us out?? LOL

The Phone Call...Damn I'm Wet!

So, Blake and Gina called this week. I am so excited I have to dedicate a whole post to Blake and Gina's call. Gina is doing well. In fact, we are all planning an overnight trip in October. This will celebrate Gina's recovery. So where are we going?...mmmm that's private. But it will be a wonderful reunion.

This Weekend

We are trying to finalize our plans for this weekend. Sam of Sam and Yancey is going out of town but the four of us are having dinner on Thursday. I was hoping that we could also get together with Daniel and Vanessa this weekend but...no luck :). I think they are going to be hanging out at a party. Hope that they have more fun that Austin and I did at the one on Saturday.

Gina and Blake are probably going to call us this week. I hope so because it would be really nice to chat with them.

The Party Post

Ok, so I have had a day to chat with Austin about the party. We have both decided not to go to any other parties alone because well...let me give you our rendition of the evening...

I had been thinking about the party for a while. Let's just say the theme involved plaid skirts, pigtails, and "panties." I had my outfit...a very cute mini skirt, white shirt, and shiny black leather shoes. Oh, did I forget to mention the pigtails or should I say...cute curly puffs. Austin rocked his cool metrosexual look...slate grey gabardine pants and a kenneth cole shirt. He definitely looked tasty.

So, the party started at 7:30, I think...but we arrived at 10:00. We walked in and there were probably about 30 couples. I was instantly disappointed...I thought that there would be significantly more people there. But, oh well, we had to make the best of it.

So Austin and I stood on the outskirts of the room and scanned the crowd. Mostly 30s, 40s and some 50s. People were pretty average looking. Ok...vain person is emerging...Austin and I are real people but many would say that we are definitely attractive. We both work out and I worked as an art model for several years. I mention this because it didn't seem like people wanted to approach us. Couples checked us out but noone approached us. Newsflash...we were alone.

So, ok...we did chat with a few people. Brad and Peggy were there. They used to be our friends, but Peggy really dislikes me...so, didn't want to hang around them. We ran into Skip and Molly. They are really cute and very active in the swing community. Molly and I had on similar shoes. They are very sweet and are always super nice to us.

WE also ran into a person that "blocked" us on our swinger site. Blocking means that you can't access their profile or interact with them. It's kind of like a "go to hell you bastards" statement. The funny thing is that we have no idea why we are blocked. We haven't had any contact with this couple. It is bizarre. But...during this party...she was so friendly to me....touching me while we were dancing...and finally asking me if I was "bi." So, Austin was just dying to ask her why they blocked us. I don't even know if she knew who we were. he he!! Her loss!

So the night went on and Austin and I danced a bit. I did my "hey look at me dance" that's swinger talk for a sexy dance. I didn't drink- I probably would have had a better time if I had a few drinks.

So, around 12:00, they opened the "hospitality suite." What a let down! A bunch of really weird men running around asking me if I wanted some fruit soaked in vodka or some type of strong alcohol. Ok, I haven't randomly consumed anything from a stranger since college so..um, no dude...I will not eat your fruit. So, Austin and I laid on a bed to chill and of course we got some stares from RSDs. RSDs= random single dudes. A term coined by Austin to denote random men who just hang around and mooch. Austin is kind of eccentric and likes to coin phrases. He has also coined IOW= incredibly overweight woman. Ok...back to the story. Honestly, we were so tired and annoyed we left.

Sam and Yancey were suppose to be there but they had a good sense to stay away. We were suppose to play with them this weekend but may have to change plans.

So what does this tell me...parties are not the way to go.

On another note...we did hear from Marco and Babette. Remember the meet and greet hosts? We are getting together in October sometime.

Austin just received a message from Gina. They are doing well and looking forward to seeing us in October. I think we may have an extended reunion...yummy.

By the way, I watched my first episode of Sex in the City. It was pretty interesting. Am I hooked...no. But...it was pretty, um... interesting.

This Weekend

We are going to a swinger party tomorrow. I haven't been to a party in a while and am looking forward to it. I love being a voyeur at these parties. It is such a people watching party.

September 11th

September 11th really changed me. I remember hearing about the events and feeling utter fear. I remember not being able to listen to music or even have sex for a while. It was almost like I had to deprive myself of joy and become numb in order to cope with the sheer horror of it all.

The initial shock is gone but I am still deeply saddened by the events. I think of all of the lost potential...I think of all of the children that will grow up in a less trusting world. But...even through the pain, I think of all of the selfless persons that helped out because it was the right thing to do.

Tired from this weekend...

So I am exhausted from this weekend. On Saturday, Yancey and Sam came over for dinner. We had Sushi of course. So, what can I say but mmmm...I think you know that that means.

On Sunday, we went to an amusement park. A lot of fun but a really hot day. We rode rollarcoasters and it felt like we were kids again. Sometimes you need a good freefall to help you understand that you can't control life.

Ta-Da The Playroom...

So, we are crafting a playroom. Someone commented and wanted to know whether it would be appropriate for vanilla friends and family. Yes, the goal is for it to be "safe" enough to pass as a regular room...the room is all about texture and comfort. We have a variety of pillows on the floor, some faux-suede, some cotton. The room has bamboo curtains and a red shag rug. There is also a futon. Here are a few pictures of the room.
The corner contains a sensual spot complete with canopy and floor pillows. The canopy is meant to soften the room and create a "dreamlike" environment. Austin loves plants and felt that the bamboo added a richness and a love for the naturalness of nature.
The room is small and this adds to the intimacy. There is a small closet that we plan to use to store toys, condoms, lube, towels, toy cleaner, etc. So what do you think?? Comments please...

Can you Come Out and Play??

Austin and I are creating a playroom. A what? A playroom. We figured that we should have a special room to play in...Austin wanted a wall mural but we couldn't agree on a mural. So, we have decided to omit the mural. We are excited and hope to have it finished soon.

So, we are having dinner with Sam and Yancey tomorrow. We are going to ask them their opinion on the playroom.

We haven't chatted with Blake and Gina this week. Gina had some tests this week so we knew that we wouldn't chat with them. I really miss them. Its hard to believe that they have become such good friends. I mean...if someone would have told me that I would be fucking my close friends, I would have laughed and never believed it. How strange is life.

So, I need some new profile pictures. Any ideas??? I feel like my current pictures are kind of boring. I want sexy and exciting...not sleazy. I really dislike sleazy profile pictures. So...any ideas...Post them in the guest book or as a comment and I may do a special picture and post it for you.

I bought a new swimsuit today. It is silver and looks very james bondish. End of the season sales totally rock!! I am hoping that it doesn't make my butt look too huge :).

Daniel and Vanessa and Mark and Rachel are out of town this week. Humm...perhaps together lol! With swingers, you never know...just kidding of course.

The Dreaded STDs

Austin and I are very concerned with STDs. I am writing this because some people may read our posts and wonder whether we practice safe sex. Safety is so crucial to us. Two things are really important...condoms, condoms, condoms, and developing relationships with people that we play with. One night stands aren't our thing. Sleeping with people just to say we did isn't our thing. We expect and give two things to our playmates...discretion and safety.

Labor Day Weekend...Where did the time go??

We had a wonderful time with Yancey and Sam. Sam is this really deep guy who isn't afraid to be vulnerable. Yancey is this free spirit who is unfettered by time or circumstances. They have seen some of the deepest sadness of our time...9/11 and New Orleans after Katrina. They were there walking among the affected. Both times, they made the choice to go.

Sometimes I have to wonder about the significant choices that people make, especially, those choices that expose people to sadness and harm. What does it mean to see such sadness and what does it mean to see such unselfishness. I can only imagine the strength that it took to be there and choose to make a difference.

I was a volunteer therapist for an aid organization during a major hurricane. It helped me to identify a purpose for my existence :). I did this for a few days and it was emotionally draining...

Ok, enough of the deep discussion...So Sam and Yancey are very cool. Austin and I are excited and believe that we have located our Circle of Port. We have definitely stopped meeting new couples. Our circle consists of two out of town couples and two in-town couples. We have played with all couples except one out of town couple. We are including this couple because we can see the potential to be good friends with this couple.

I chatted with Mark of Mark and Rachel. They are doing well. I also chatted with Daniel of Daniel and Vanessa. Daniel is freakin' sexy.

Austin and I also chatted with Blake and Gina. Gina is doing really well. I had this weird dream about Blake...mmmmm trying to keep the site PG.

So I have to poll our playmates...What do I taste like? What does my skin feel like, and what is your favorite position? I will have to report later.

I'd go crazy...If I wasn't already...

So we are meeting Yancey and Sam for dinner tomorrow. Should be really fun.

Austin and I just returned home. We are cooking out. Austin really likes cooking...we are both vegetarian so our meals consist of great veggies and grains. Received a few emails from Daniel of Daniel and Vanessa. They are busy for the next few weeks but wanted to say hi to us.

I didn't mention that I tried to do my own waxing...ouch!!! The results were horrible it was painful and I didn't even end up getting all of the hair. And... I was sore for days afterwards. I am definitely going to a professional the next time.

Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt?

I am having the hardest time coming up with titles for my entries. So please forgive me if my titles sound a bit obscure. WE had a nice date last night. We met Yancey and Sam at a little Indian restaurant. Sam has had his fair share of Indian food and swore that this restaurant was the best in our area. I have to admit, it was very good. The booths were tiny and Austin's legs were hanging in the aisles.

Yancey has shoulder-length blonde hair and Sam, well Sam is bald, clean-shaven except for a little patch lol. They both are very friendly and we spent the entire evening chatting (after we found the place- my sense of directins is horrible). It's funny, they are both creative and artsy and Austin and I are more of the preppy suburbanites. We wondered if they would see us as boring...lol.

They are not new to porttasting but haven't met very many couples in the area. We can definitely understand their frustration. We told them about our quest to find our "circle of port." We mentioned two of our frustrations to them, couples that just want to chat and never meet and couples that have false/fake pictures on their profiles. Seems like many swingers can relate to these frustrations. Lol!!

We are the first couple that they have met since moving to our community. We explained to them that we have a couple that we have really connected with (Gina and Blake). Yancey said that she really wanted to develop a friendship with a couple and so she was happy that we had found a couple that we really clicked with. I guess we gave them hope that you can develop friends with benefits.

By the way, I have been emailing and chatting with Babette and Marco. Remember, they hosted the Meet and Greet that we went to a few weeks ago. Marco is the doctor. WE like them a lot and want we all agree that we would love to get together once their schedule is better. WE are trying for October.

Gina and Blake are doing well. WE really miss them and think about them often.
