These sound like kompromat parties to me. [LOVEINT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOVEINT), [SEXINT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEXINT), etc... these are real things, even if they're not being collected by intelligence agencies. The upside is you get to have weird sex. The downside could be blackmailed for the rest of your life. It doesn't seem rational to me, but I suppose it's a free country (until you're being blackmailed, then it's just not free for you anymore).
It's strange that it's not more commonly discussed. It might be generational -- like the 20-somethings think about all of this very differently, it seems.
me neither, in theory
but with that host? you know it's gonna be leering flabby nerd dudes of questionable hygiene + "math pets" of questionable legality, and nobody involved has skin darker than skim milk.
None of that is really wrong either, except if the questionable legality does indeed involve someone underage, or any other illegal things happening. This all seems like assumptions though. I'd rather mock rationalists for things we have actual evidence of.
My experience with these people biases me against them. I fully admit to this.
Also good lord the updoots/down whatever scoring for this thread is going wild as im trying to type.
I find it odd that their stated intention for limiting activities is
to avoid disturbing onlookers rather than to maintain a safe and
consensual environment.
That aside, this all seems fine for the most part, but the level of
organization required (literal dossiers on limits and preferences) makes
me wonder why you wouldn’t want to just do this with people you know
well and have communicated your limits and desires with already.
I guess the group dynamics and anonymity are part of it, and,
assuming the safe word is well enforced, things would stop pretty quick
if there was any confusion or discomfort, but I think I’d have some
trouble taking a scene seriously if someone stopped to read my badge
before groping me or whatever lol
I honestly don’t see any issue with consenting adults doing things like this.

Sure is interesting this gets posted now…
I wish I’ve never read the words ‘condomy flotsam’.
