A Tale of Two Athletes
Jill first hooked up with Kate at the gym. They were both regulars and had fitness, healthy eating, and several other things in common. It was only natural they would end up dating. When they finally did hookup sexually, both wanted it to be a great experience. Instead, it was a disaster. Jill had failed to wash her hands well enough after using some muscle rub. The foreplay was amazing until Jill reached for Kate’s V-jay-jay and all Hell broke loose. Apparently, there was just enough of that rub left somewhere on Jill’s fingers to set Kate on fire – and not in a good way. They’re still a couple but without the fireworks.
Moral of the Story: When you’re getting ready for some great sex, make sure any body part to be used is really ready.

A Peanut Butter Disaster
Bill and Jim are recent friends with benefits and really enjoy anal sex. Bill is also a peanut butter lover. So, one beautiful Sunday when both were horny and free, they hooked up at Bill’s place. Bill always bought that natural peanut butter, you know the one with the oil on the top until it is stirred up. He thought the peanut oil would make a great lube, since he could taste it with some ass-licking foreplay. So he lubed up Jim to get him ready. Within minutes, Jim was puffing up like a balloon. He never told Bill he was allergic to peanuts. Whoops. That Sunday was spent in the emergency room with Jim on a very different kind of bed.
Moral of the Story: Maybe you should have a few conversations about any medical conditions before you have at it.

Fulfilling Bucket List Sex
Sue and Lil love having sex in weird places. In fact, they have a list to check off as they score in each of these places. One of those was a cemetery, and they had even scouted out the perfect spot – a large gravestone with a marble pad in front of it. They chose their night, brought a blanket, had plenty of wine, and let everything proceed naturally. Basking in the afterglow, Lil said, “I wonder who we should thank for this great place.” With that, she looked up at the tombstone to discover that the person had died on the exact date she was born. Talk about “bats out of Hell.”
Moral of This Story: We’re not exactly sure except maybe when scoping out weird sex places, do a bit of research?

The Threesome That Wasn’t
Stan has always been into threesomes, and he doesn’t really care about gender makeup. So, when he met Gary and Sue at a karaoke bar and they spent the evening drinking and being wannabe stars, he was open and ready for the threesome they proposed. The alcohol helped. Back they went to Sue’s place for a great encore. They all got naked and in bed. As Gary was going down on Stan, Sue excused herself for a minute and returned with a bucket of ice cream. She sat on the edge of the bed and cheered the two guys on masturbating in between spoonfuls. Gary left pretty disappointedly, wondering what the hell he had just witnessed.
Moral of this Story: Maybe talk more before you get too drunk and hook up. Their weirdness may show itself, and you can decline.

The Car Drunk
Bisexual Beth met Ruth at a mutual friend’s party. The food was great, and the liquor flowed like water, given that the friend was a liquor distributor. Beth was a careful drinker, knowing that she had driven herself to this event. But Ruth, not so much. She started with beer, moved on to the hard stuff, and ended up with shots of several different kinds. During it all, Beth was totally infatuated with her sense of humor, her good looks, and his apparent ability to hold her liquor. She figured she’d take her home, put her to bed, and they could see what might pop up in the morning. As soon as she pulled into her garage, she let loose with the vomit all over her car, opened the door and barfed all over her garage floor, and then staggered into the house where Ruth passed out on Beth’s newly-shampooed carpet and lay in her own stench the rest of the night. Beth spent the night shampooing her car upholstery, mopping up the garage floor, and spraying Lysol on Ruth to hide the smell. Needless to say, the infatuation was over and she called Ruth an Uber as soon as she was conscious.
Moral of this story: Infatuation really wears off when the amazing date turns into a gross drunk. And turns your property into a disgusting pile of goo. Don’t take a drunk home if it looks like they can’t even perform.

So, Candace is an outdoor person – she loves hiking, camping, fishing, and such. Molly isn’t, preferring going out to lunch, shopping, and movies. Maybe opposites attract, because they somehow found each other on a dating app and began to chat. What attracted both of them was their senses of humor and slightly sketchy preferences in the bedroom. Candace convinced Molly to go camping for a weekend. “It’ll be fun,” she said. Molly reluctantly agreed. Candace just assumed Molly would come somewhat prepared, including a decent bug repellant. After an evening around a campfire, Molly began to feel she might be able to handle this part of Candace’s life. Off to bed and sex in a tent – a totally new experience for Molly. Morning dawned, and Molly was a swollen mess – covered from head to toe with bites of various kinds. And she was sick from it. Off to the hospital and a prednisone shot. Molly looked horrible for days. And this relationship was not going to last.
Moral of this Story: Opposites on minor things may attract, but definitely not on the “big-ticket” items.
