Last names, sex and you

[Martinus]

I was never awesome enough to be able to anonymously bang.  All my sexual encounters were the result of a great deal of effort on my part.  This usually involved finding out a great deal about the woman involved including, sadly, her last name.

Nothing anonymous about it whatsoever, it's just that family names aren't particularly relevant to pierce the veil of anonymity.

And at least on the gay end it has nothing to do with awesomeness. It's just that you usually hook up on the internet and the first time you meet up and you like each other you have sex. If it was good, you exchange phone numbers.

Ahem. I'd refrain from stating that as the main process.

Fun fact - I was friends with a guy once. He invited me and other common friends to a party where his new boyfriend was to be present. It was awkward when it turned out he gave him a fake *first* name when they first met and was too embarrassed to later correct that.

Most of the people I've hooked up with over the years were friends of friends, class mates, with the occasional night club hook up etc. Where does last name even come into the conversation?

Yep. Unless you exchange business cards and engage in a night of American Psycho passion, which may be CdM's preferred option.

Well hey, we are ignoring the people where I say "I'll see you around" in lieu of exchanging phone numbers.

That's my approach.
'I'll see you around.'
'I live in Reading.'
'.....Yeah.'

I now have to buy some board game (considering "Lords of Waterdeep") and invite them all to my flat. Will need to take down the confetti and glitter*.

What do you mean by 'take down' confetti and glitter?

In darkest Ukraine, apparently, guys in drag are considered screamingly funny - I was dragged to a wedding featuring lots of scary Ukrainians*, the highlight of which was a guy in drag performing.

And of course it's been the centrepiece of English humour forever.

That's some Shakespearian level farce, that is.

I guess if you aren't fooled by the propaganda against mild inbreeding.

I generally know the last name of anybody I'm considering procreating with.

What's your objection?

What is a drag queen recital?

Well, I have a piano. My friend - a drag queen - sang "Life is a Cabaret", "Mein Herr" and "Je Ne Regrette Rien". I accompanied with music. 

  I never thought I'd want to hang out with Marty's Warsavian haute-bourgeois crowd, but this sounds like at least a borderline good party.  What food/drinks did you serve?

Bouillabaisse. Grass fed beef steaks. Blinas with sour cream and red caviar. And mainly wine (plus, shots of ice-cold potato vodka to go with the steaks).

I rarely go online to meet people directly for the purpose of sex. That's too early 20s, early 2000s craigslist for my sensibilities.

[Martinus]

What about grindr?

[garbon]

I think that goes under what I said. You've just taken an online site and made it location/phone based.

[Martinus]

Ok. Well, I haven't hooked up online with a stranger for sex since 2009 or so, to be honest.

I have my boyfriend... and a collection of phone numbers.
