Sex Party over at the Countess’s

By · Saturday, April 29th, 2006 · 37 Comments »

Several regular readers of this blog are also regular readers of the Countess, who’s been AWOL for a few weeks working on some freelance articles. (No word if she’s also got a futuristic novel in the works and whether it’s better than mine, Paul’s, and Alon’s.) But she’s back on the blog for a few days with some hot polyamory action, and you’re all cordially invited: Is Polyamory For You?

    The Countess isn’t ‘poly’ and neither am I. There is something basically wrong with the whole idea. I am a traditionalist. A man should have ONE wife and ONE girlfriend and that’s it.

  2. Violet says:

    I might enjoy polyamory as long as I was the only woman in the group.

  3. will says:

    Sorry guys. I’ve claimed dibs on Violet

  4. Violet says:

    Ha! Just how many feminist bloggers have you claimed “dibs” on, Mr. Horndog?

  5. will says:

    does that matter?

    for the record, only the good ones

  6. Paul Tergeist says:

    The way I understood it, VIOLET wanted dibs. Several of them. It wasn’t clear whether she wanted them all at once or in rotation.

  7. will says:

    you are going to let a woman decide dibs?!?!?

  8. Violet says:

    Thanks, Paul. Lord, now Paul has to interpret me to Will?

  9. will says:

    I understood you. But you little ladies often dont know what you really want.

  10. Paul Tergeist says:

    Men get dibs about who gets to ride shotgun for the very good reason that they might have to defend the stagecoach from marauders, and because when women try to climb up everyone can see up their dress. A hundred years ago it wasn’t pretty.

    American women, except in extreme cases, get to choose who they are going to have dibs with. Getting everyone to agree to it is the purpose of this blog.

    Hey, don’t sell me short. I’m also trying to overthrow the Bush administration and destroy Christianity.

  12. will says:

    I say sell short.

  13. Paul Tergeist says:

    I say sell short as well. Destroying Christianity won’t work. The zillions of sheep who require an imaginary friend have, within just ONE CENTURY, turned Christianity from a horror story into a feel good fairy tale in which JESUS is NOT really coming back with a sword in His mouth to kill all unbelievers as the Bible says.

    I had no idea! Wow, somebody up there must like me!

    I’m encouraged to finally finish editing down the 10,000 word Judaism post to something of blogular dimensions.

    Yeah. Maybe that old codfish Pistle put in a good word with God. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  17. Pastor Pistle says:

    Son, let me explain something to you. Remember it every night before you fal asleep because one of these days JESUS isn’t going to let you wake up.

    Let me explain to you how being unsaved trash works when you die.

    You’re dead. Whether due to your own disgusting sinning or the Lords divine will, you are dead. Instantly your soul begins falling toward the black abyss above Hell. The falling seems eternal as you gather speed and the heat begins to grow. Then you notice a red dot below you growing larger by the second; this is the Lake in the center of Hell. It is the brightest point in Hell therefore it is visible for a great distance. Keep in mind that the farther you fall, the further from Christ you are.
    As you gain speed and the flames become apparent you may wonder how you can stop this from happening. The answer is simple. It’s too late and you can’t, you’re doomed. Your soul is damned and it WILL happen. The temperature is now approaching the bearable limit as your flesh begins to smoulder and ignite and you continue to build speed as you plummet toward the now visible boiling Lake of Fire. You can almost make out individual souls thrashing in the magma with your flaming eyesockets. Soon you will join them, your terror mounts as your screams become gargled with the stench of Hells evil smell. The heat becomes excruciating as you notice your skin peeling away and your bones becoming visible and black. Flaming and screaming in anguish, you splashdown into the acidic brimstone of Satans Lake at around 750 MPH. You are instantly vaporized and reformed as a tormented soul writhing in absolute terror in the deafening depths of the Lake that Burns Eternal. The pain is beyond comprehension as you gnash your teeth so hard they shatter in your mouth. Satan periodically plucks you from the flames to savagely rape repeatedly and casually tosses you to his infernal minions to rip apart and rape at will, only to be reformed and have this scenario repeated…over and over and over, forever.
    Is it still funny mocking our mission to Save your soul? We want you to enjoy Heaven and eternal praise and worship at the feet of our Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Unless you are Saved™ by Jesus Christ and His Holy website and favorite church, Landover Baptist, there is no other way to avoid this.
    Contact a Pastor at once to set up a Salvation™ guaranteeing tithing schedule.
    Surrender you soul to Jesus and

    Praise Jesus!

    I am pretty sure several people would contribute if you promised to put a sock in it.

  19. The Countess says:

    Yup, I’m monogamous, but I can respect people who have chosen to be poly. It just isn’t for me. I like their credo about communication, though. Communication should be important in any relationship.

    I don’t think Violet will be able to destroy the Godbags, either. They’re too entrenched, they are sheep, and they are too easily riled up by TV preachers. If only feminism could rile up its base like that.

  20. Alon Levy says:

    I think it could, and at one point it did. But there are a lot of reasons why right now it can’t – for example, the most radical feminists concentrate on issues that can’t rile people up. The liberal feminists do have issues that can rile people up, but their ability to organize the people is pathetic. The last time a liberal rather than a radical managed to gain popular traction was when Martin Luther King was around, and even he couldn’t successfully tackle the problem of entrenched poverty.

    I think I could in theory be in a poly relationship, but in practice it’s nigh impossible. The main difficulty is in getting me to love someone and getting that someone to love me back. I’m not a jealous person, but because of that tremendous difficulty of finding one person, I think it’ll be impossible for me to ever find two girls and a guy (I’m fairly certain that’s the only poly configuration I’d be emotionally able to be in) who I can love, who can love me and one another, and who don’t mind polyamory.

    Violet, can you email me the 10,000 essay about Judaism? I’d really like to read it in its original form. Hell, if I’d known how my Seder would turn out to be in advance, I’d have asked you to email it to me before so that I could be prepared.

  21. Violet says:

    Violet, can you email me the 10,000 essay about Judaism? I’d really like to read it in its original form.

    Alas, it no longer exists in its original form. I knew I wouldn’t publish it so I started hacking away at it to get it down to size, rearranging and cutting. Now it’s just lying on the floor, dismembered and bleeding.

    The main difficulty is in getting me to love someone and getting that someone to love me back.

    When you go to New York you will fall in love with the entire math department and they with you. Criswell Predicts.

  22. Alon Levy says:

    Well, we’ll see about what happens in New York.

  23. Violet says:

    You’re still with K?

  24. Alon Levy says:

    No, we split up a week ago. We’re still talking, but strictly as an ex-couple.

  25. Violet says:

    Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that.

  26. Alon Levy says:

    Thanks… it meant a lot.

  27. Violet says:

    Well, as deeply felt as a first love is, it’s always a first love — meaning there will be others. Of course you know that intellectually but it’s still a hard thing to go through. Accept this as quasi-maternal wisdom from a 40-something who was also a somewhat out-of-the ordinary teenager: there’s lots of love ahead of you.

  28. will says:

    You are in your 40′s?!?!??! Darn it. I need to find another blog now.

  29. Alon Levy says:

    Yeah, I know that. I got over it pretty quickly. I generally seem to get over breakups pretty quickly (by my count, this is our sixth breakup, so I have a lot of experience…), and in this particular case, I genuinely stopped loving her about the time we broke up, so it was relatively easy for me.

  30. will says:

    Can anyone else hear George Jones singing?

  31. Violet says:

    You are in your 40’s?!?!??!

    As if you didn’t know that. I’m the same age as Johnny Depp.

  32. will says:

    “The Countess isn’t ‘poly’ and neither am I. There is something basically wrong with the whole idea. I am a traditionalist. A man should have ONE wife and ONE girlfriend and that’s it.”

    Paul, I do not know how I missed this earlier, but I almost spit out my drink when I read this post.

  33. Violet says:

    To Alon in 29: Okay, so maybe some first loves aren’t so deeply felt…

  34. will says:

    Do people stop having sexual thoughts the day after they turn 40 or on their actual 40th birthday?

  35. Alon Levy says:

    Oh, ours was very deeply felt. It’s just that toward the end, it got to the point that there were enough problems that I could fall out of love with her in two weeks. When all that’s keeping you together is fear of being lonely, it means it’s time to break up.

  36. Alon Levy says:

    Do people stop having sexual thoughts the day after they turn 40 or on their actual 40th birthday?

    Neither. They stop having sexual thoughts the day after they get married.

  37. Paul Tergeist says:

    I have another great idea. Paul’s advice to the lovelorn. May I put a paypal button in here? I have such good advice that no one would mind paying for it.

    I remember my first love, I just don’t remember her name. I’m lucky that way.
