The Things You See…

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. You could also get new content delivered directly to your inbox. Thanks for stopping by!

Let’s face it. Real sex isn’t much like your typical porno.

Before I started gettin’ nekkid and schtooping in front of crowds (small crowds!), I held onto a whole lotta insecurities about my body. I’ve seen it change, age, and sag (oh the sagging) for years now; somehow I’d gotten it into my head that other human bodies were immune to these changes.

They aren’t. Watching other people fuck has been enormously educational. I recommend it for everyone. Er, nearly everyone. I wouldn’t recommend it to my close relatives (shudder).

I betcha you thought that people into public sex all had perfect bodies, dintcha? Well, they don’t.

Here’s what you do: Next time you head to the mall or even the grocery store, take your camera. Aim it right across center court in the mall, or down the milk aisle in the grocery store. Snap a quick picture.

Download the image to your computer and mentally block out all the underage folks (seriously now). You might think at this point that I would recommend that you also mentally block out the older people too.

Don’t. Trust me on this one.

What’s left in the picture is an approximation of the crowd that can be found at your everyday standard group event. Take a closer look. See who is in your picture. People from 21 to 80. People of every color, every size, every height, every degree of attractiveness.

At a group event, you’ll see folks who would look at home in any possible public location. They are perfectly standard-issue human beings.

Would you like some specifics?

  • Nearly everyone in their 30s and beyond has at least a few skin tags. I was under the impression that I was the only one sporting these weird little protrusions. I’m so relieved to find out that I’m not.
  • Most of the women have little (or not so little) bellies. Bellies are more pronounced if there’s also a c-section scar.
  • Yeah, most men have some degree of gut too. Six-pack abs are mercifully rare.
  • The surgical scars (on both sexes) are legion. I so want to ask each person with such a scar to tell me what it’s from, but I’m pretty sure that would be in poor taste.
  • No one’s got a perfectly smooth ass. Bottoms are prime gathering spots for blemishes of all varieties. We’ve all got them. Right now I’m sporting this on my bottom*, which is actually the work of a some random arthropod (one of the hazards of doin’ it in a pool**), but it must look like it’s ready to steal the very soul of the person pumping into me from behind. Ah, such is life.
  • Speaking of butts: they sag. That’s just all there is to it.
  • So do breasts.
  • Even terribly thin people have stretch marks. I’ve looked—coyly of course. If 50 random orgy-goers were to line up naked, I’d hazard a guess that after thorough scrutiny, only a couple of them could be certified stretch-mark free.
  • Pubic hair topiary ranges from full-on all-natural bushes to nothingness. I like to spy on very hairy dudes who decide to go bare; it makes me smile to see the line of demarcation between hirsute and hairless. I don’t smile in a cruel way. Really. It’s just that the line looks so…vulnerable. It’s sweet.

And along with large variations in the human form, there’s also a great range in … how should I say this politely?

Ah fuck it. At group events, there are sane people and crazy people. There are people who are completely cool about the idea of watching other folks have sex, and then there are those who get nutty. Usually those folks don’t come back, or they are asked politely yet very firmly to leave.

But perhaps nuttiness and human frailty as applied to orgy attendance is a topic that should be left for another day.

So next time that elusive orgy invitation arrives at your house (via certified mail, on engraved stationery, in a lined envelope of course), don’t hesitate to check the “I’ll attend!” box out of fear that your body will be judged as wonky.

Don’t misunderstand. Your body is very likely to be wonky in at least some small way***, but it will be no more wonky than the next person’s. And this is exactly as it should be.

I can offer you a 100% money-back guarantee**** on this.

___________________

*This is hyperbole.

**Drowning is another.

***If you actually believe yourself to possess a completely un-wonky body, I will need photographic evidence so that I may judge for myself. You know the email.

****Many, many restrictions apply to this offer.

You forgot birthmarks. I have one on the inside of my thigh. No, really.

What a great post, and great timing. I am, and have always been pretty proud of my breasts. But last night as I laid in bed I looked down and there were the beginnings of some lines on my chest. I started freaking out. Then I sat back up and they were gone. Back down-there, up-gone. Stupid years of tanning. What was my new lover going to think? How am I going to afford microdermabrasion on my tits? I slathered some skin cream on them, and went to sleep.

It is always good to be reminded that no one looks like the skin tagless, blemish free, taut bods that appear in porn.

great post!

OOops… I do ask about the scars… maybe because I am always trying to explain my Frankenstein of an abdomen…

Glad to see schtooping in print. It’s under utilized, if you ask me.

I saw the same thing you did at the club I visited, a random cross section of people in all stages of life, with every body shape and size. While some were attractive to me and others not at all, I was happy to see how comfortable and respectful everyone was.

You know, thats what I loved about my first orgy. I was really afraid I was gonna be the only big girl surrounded by a bunch of hot model looking chicks.

Its nice to go somewhere, be naked, and not be thinking about my gut, or that pimple on my butt, or the stretch marks on my hips.

No one else there is perfect. I’m not the only big girl. And hey, the skinny girls ain’t perfect either. The guys too, are normal looking.

I really like everyone’s ‘imperfections’ and differences. It makes everything all the more interesting.

As your resident Jewess sex blogger and editrix friend, I’d like to wish everyone a happy Rosh Hashanah and inform you that the correct transliterative spelling is “schtupping,” despite what some urban-dictionary-entering goy might think. ;-)

A schtup is a good thing. A Lily Von Schtupp is a great thing.

oops, typo myself: “a schtupp is a good thing”

two p’s.

What, Urban Dictionary got something wrong?????

Happy Rosh Hashanah to you too, my resident Jewess sex blogger hottie you.

That hyperbole looks pretty damned painful.lol.

Urban Dictionary is NEVER wrong!!!
schtoop
Schtupp
schtupped
Schtupper
schtupping
schtupt schtofel
schtüpingk it up. etc… all the variations are there!

‘Skin tags’ - brilliant description! I have those but thought I was the only one until the first night I slept with my current partner. She has one well inside her bikini line. Now I don’t even notice it.

If group sex events needed marketing I’d put your name forward to write up the promotional leaflets :o)

That’s why when I draw someone I ask them which parts of their body they’re not happy with - so I can depict them how they wish to see themselves. We all have a fantasy of how we wish to appear to others - without the saggy bits and cellulite!

You are JUST the woman to talk to! Hubby and I finally met and set up a date with another couple, and I’m SCARED TO DEATH! I’m NOT thin, and I know that there are no promises when we meet for supper, but I’M NERVOUS! Any advice?!?!?!

Still waiting on that invitation. Shall I give you my address AGAIN.

I’m having issues accepting my body lately, this is helpful :P

This is very informative. I read another blog that said only the best of the best did the group sex thing. As in…if you aren’t perfect…don’t bother.

*snorts* Katie, whatever blogger said only the best do group sex should be smacked, and not in the good way. Normal people do the group sex thing.

I’ve always had body issues. It’s really good to know that real people can have great sex and lots of fun.

Amen! Ooops can I use a church reference in a sex blog?

Randi–Some people will like you. Some won’t. You’ll like some people. Some you won’t. If any of y’all don’t like the others, give them a hug, wish them luck, and keep looking. There’s someone else right around the next corner.

A. Secret–Yes. Yes you may. :)

As far as the stretch marks go — yes, yes, yes. These are universal. I’m nineteen with what I’d consider a very lovely body (yeah, body image issues? I’m not big on those) and I’ve got lots of ‘em. None on the belly since I’ve never been preggers, none on the breasts since they’re smallish and took their time growing when the puberty fairy visited, but my hips, upper thighs, and bottom have plenty of stretch marks. They used to bug me, but then I actually got naked in the presence of another person, and he wasn’t put off in the least — seemed to think they were every bit as pretty as the rest, in fact — so I don’t worry about it anymore. I kind of figure that if you like someone enough to be shagging them, a few wobbly bits or some quirky-looking toes aren’t going to be enough to put you off.

I pull skin tags right off. Little fuckers.

Eeeeeeeeeeekk!

:)

You can cut them off painlessly with a sharp pair of scissors. Apply some Neosporin and you’re good to go.

I work for a dermatologist, that’s what he does!

heh. I know I’ve read (and written) quite similar things about the BDSM community. I’ll never forget the first thing I ever attended, which was a workshop on how to make a flogger. Sitting in an overbright classroom environment with people that looked as if they could be in the accounting department of the newspaper I worked at back then was just so surreal. :)

GB: Urban dictionary is open-source. Any doofus can enter anything he/she wants…there is no one policing it. Just because someone entered it in there doesn’t mean it’s spelled properly.

So, to end this debate, we’d all do well to use a source that uses an ACTUAL dictionary, not an contributor-based one. Dictionary.com, says the primary spelling is schtup, and the ONLY variant is “shtup.” (And that’s because non jewish people don’t know how to pronounce the “ch” properly in Yiddish.)

Schtup it is.

Good Thursday afternoon to you, AAG.

You made me feel much better about myself.
My upper arms are soft, my bottom has cellulite, my belly is no longer flat.
I was paranoid that evryone but me was in better shape, firmer, taughter, and more playboy bunny worthy when naked…

Now if I could just ease my worries about having a pussy that looks nothing like a Barbie Doll, and far more like a Georgia O’Keefe flower….

Loving Annie

Ok, can we all just agree on FUCKING?

Please?

:D

Annie,

Sweet girl, if your pussy looked like that of a Barbie Doll, you would be in serious trouble.

:)

Oh, Miss Syl, coming up with the Mel Brooks reference! Hardin and my daughter must be his two biggest fans.

And Jackie pointing out the advantage of her craft! The camera doesn’t lie, but the paintbrush . . .

My body is gloriously imperfect by the standards of show business, but I still love showing it off. And I love to hear about all the other people who have that same healthy degree of self-esteem.

Many men worry about size — myself included — it’s a constant self esteem issue. “Male enhancement” — “E D” “Will you be ready when *that moment* arrives?”

I call your skin tags and raise you with an *average* cock…

Average cocks are wonderful. I can deep throat them without throwing up. :)

I love the big ‘uns too, especially one big ‘un in particular right now.

But average cocks are fabulous.

“But average cocks are fabulous.” :D

Yeah, I’m not typically in receipt of invitations like that. All this time I thought it was my body.

;)

*grins* That was a great post - you amused me mightily.

FWIW, I use ’schtupp’ as well :)

xx Dee

totally awesome post…i am too self concious…and this post actually helped…lol. thanks.

“Average cocks are fabulous!” That should be a T-Shirt!

The first time a went to an orgy I was heavily into the gym. Wasn’t a greek god or anything, but I was happy with the way I was and even had a six pack.
I was more than happy to spend the whole party naked and have people watching me.
But then last year when I went to a few clubs with a new girlfriend, I had stop going to the gym as much and had gotten my stomach back, I started to feel a bit intimated and put of by people watching.
Where as before when people watched, I thought look me the big stud, and it spurred me on. Now it’s go away, you are putting me off. lol
My body probably doesn’t look that different to what it did a couple of years ago, think it’s just about confidence.
