" Gangbang ! "
This is the one Bible my girlfriend blurts out when I ask what she wants for her forthcoming 33rd natal day , her so - called Jesus yr . An artist and burlesque performing artist , Alex is something of a Gypsy , and as such I ’m not expecting her to have her heart and soul set on a head trip to Paris or a Fendi purse . But the speed and zest with which she delivers her solvent stuns even me , an established debauchee in my own right field . I primarily drop a line about sex , and yeah , I ’ve done some raunchy stuff over the years . But I ’ve never participate in a gangbang , let alone organize one . That , as I understand it , is what I ’m being require to deliver , less than three month from now .
" Let ’s do it ! " I eventually manage to say .

Alex had a strong glimmer I ’d be agreeable . Since we suffer early this year , we ’ve maintain a very loving , reverential , ripe human relationship that incorporates a lot of raunchy and rollicking adventures . I suppose that a gangbang is just going to be the late and peachy ; a natural propagation of some of the expeditions we ’ve already mounted .
I ’m certain that Alex ’s tabu - wear desire comes from a good blank space . New York City therapist Dee Dee Goldpaugh says that whether they choose to ordain them or not , women in her clinical practice who fantasise about gangbangs are seeking to subvert the sexual narrative with which they grew up ; that women ’s pleasure is either secondary to , or a happy spin-off of , male pleasure .
" adult female have often trace a desire to participate in a gangbang because it symbolise to them being gift about their pleasure , " she explains . " All participant are focused solely on making the woman find good and satisfy a phantasy . She is wholly in command . "

Or , as Alex put it : " They ’ll sense good too , but it ’s the Alex show . "
She tells me that while she wants to be challenge by the get - together , she needs to be quarterback the affaire . Sticking with that analogy , she wants to be the one deciding on plays in the huddle , calling audibles , throwing bomb , celebrating scores with high-pitched - fives and Eastern Samoa slaps . For a Romany , I guess she ’s kind of a suspensor .
1. Onward Toward Banger Enlistment!
The next few clip we get together , Alex and I talk about her soiree in the vaguest term . But when I realize that her bragging sidereal day is a bare eight workweek away , I paint a picture that we sit around down and talk about particular . The first order of business being the number and identities of the participant who , in the parlance of the genre , are unimaginatively and reductively called " bangers . "
in private I ’d been thinking that we ’d need a total of at least three other guys , perhaps more give that I would be assuming the additional roles of company organizer and monitor . ( A gangbang ’s proctor is the person creditworthy for ensure that the center of the natural action , often just called the " center , " is well-situated , happy , and consenting to everything at all clock time . ) I ’d also suspect than any more than six or seven would be inviting an exponential increment of logistical headaches that I really did n’t want to entertain .
" I mean that five is about veracious , " Alex says , and points to the five parts of her body she ’d utilise to engage everyone in the room .

" Perfect , " I say . " So , who ’s on deck ? "
" Well , ideally , I already hump them , " she pronounce . " well yet , I ’d have been cozy with them , but that ’s going to be a stretch . Beyond that , they ’ve receive to be cool , respectful , sex - positive , and have body I can perv on . "
To my intense relief , Alex confirms my spot in the lineup right on off . She then names Gabriel , a go - go terpsichorean friend with whom we had our first ternary back in April . Gabriel ’s cellular inclusion is a no - brainer . He ’s someone we ’ve already been inner with ; a make love amount , an old hand with AB for day and a truly remarkable schwanz . The third get is Adam , another performing artist with conspicuous musculature with whom Alex has had a close friendship for year , a friendly relationship that has grow forcible on a telephone number of mutually satisfying occasions .
" Adam has a lady friend now but I think they ’re sort of open , " she say . " I ’ll ask him . "
The individual my girl names next is a woman . This shocks me because I know Alex to be a dyed - in - the - wool heterosexual . Seeing the at sea look on my grimace , she explicate that she ’s already approached Kiki – a veteran kinkster and polyamorist – about the political party and she ’s sky-high agreed to strap one on and be one of the bangers . " I just love Kiki ’s Department of Energy , " she says .
Alex clarifies that she does n’t want any of the other guy to rent Kiki sexually and that we would all just consider her to be a fellow banger . Even still , I am privately titillated by the idea of one of our phone number being female .
We fare to a tie-up in terms of get along up with someone to fill the fifth slot , so we decamp to a discussion on how Alex wants the night to unfurl . We lecture emplacement . I severalise her that I ’ll get us a overnice hotel room , which she seems excited about . We list her boundaries , dependable watchword , and list the activity and combinations of activities she would care to take place . But in the same way that a band ca n’t devise a set list if they have n’t get a drummer , we postpone our provision until the sentient universe cough up yet another fit , biz , available , sex - irrefutable guy .
A week later , the universe does just that .
Alex and I are at at the launch of high - end sexuality - toy dog manufacturer LELO ’s new " Hex " prophylactic , when an gymnastic , sharply dressed Asian dude with a man bun approaches her . His name is Kenneth Play , a sex educator who had the premature twelvemonth hired Alex to do one of her act at the Hacienda Villa : the Bushwick , Brooklyn sex - electropositive intentional biotic community best known for sexual practice - male erecticle dysfunction events and fabled parties . Kenneth is more than just familiar to Alex , he ’s a fan of hers .
" Y’know , he ’d be a groovy fifth , " says Alex . " He checks all the boxes and then some . "
Later , when I call for him if he would get together myself and some other ethnic music in making my girl ’s ultimate sex fantasy do dead on target , he say , " I would utterly love to ! I be intimate gangbangs . And I love Alex ! Just allow me know the contingent and I ’ll be there . "
2. Honor the 30% Rule of Banger Wrangling
With Alex ’s dirty - dance circuit board more or less full , the next step is to witness a date within a week or two of her natal day that works for everyone . After some early back and forth , I propose a date in other September to the group . Kenneth and Gabriel are in . Kiki will be out of town for most of the calendar month though , and Adam can no longer take part because he and his girl have renegotiated the limit of their family relationship . Peter , a good - look friend who I ’ve had sexual practice in the same way as , enthusiastically offers to tread up after I kvetch to him about the trial and visitation that only a entrant gangbang organiser can get laid . I die hard the idea past Alex , who is tentatively down . After a meeting over beers , she decide Peter has made the cut .
" I cerebrate four is fine , " she says as we get into bed .
I correspond in possibility , but I still want to work up in some contingencies in the event that one or even two of these guys are n’t able to make it . After she reads a comprehensive guide to throwing gangbangs and take in its warning to overbook participant by 30 % , Alex gives me the green light to cast a slightly all-inclusive net . I put in a call with Kenneth , who I feel certain must know some guys who ’d fit the bill . Within a very unforesightful period of time , I ’m included in a Facebook message grouping with Kenneth , Joe , Raoul , and Mac to talk about the outlook of connect up .
" I ’ve never met these guys , " says Alex as she pores over these apprehension slugger ' shirtless Facebook exposure and counts up their legion abdominal . " But if they ’re friends with Kenneth and have a sex - plus prospect and sight of experience , I ’m down with all of them . " With Gabriel and Peter ’s license , I impart all seven bangers and Alex to the Facebook substance grouping and all voice their ebullience for the upcoming consequence .
" Wow , " says Alex . " This is really lead to happen now . "
3. Vibes, Gear, and Sundry Final Preparations
With the realness of a seven- or eight - mortal sex effect becoming evident to the both of us , I set about searching for an appropriate locus , and get a priming in just how expensive New York City hotel room can be . But then suddenly a elbow room I ’ve been covet at a hotel in Williamsburg swing in cost by $ 200 and I hold it .
Alex and I get together to compose the Facebook message I need to send to the other six banger 72 hours out front of the party . It detail the location , the time everyone needs to show up ( 9:30pm ) , what will be provided ( condoms , lube , water , delicate beverage , beer ) , what the guys should bring ( a towel to lavish before and after the event , their predilection of condom , lube , or beverage ) , what Alex ’s desire , boundaries , and safe discussion are , and the oecumenical vibe of the eventide – which is compassionate , reverent , yet robust slut worship .
But not all of the player ' thumbs - up emojis bounce back in response . I ca n’t help but be nettle when Peter , my close champion within the crew , bail bond with just 48 60 minutes to go . In a separate textual matter he tell me that he cogitate that one of the section scratch from a recent abdominal surgery looks infected .
" It ’s better that he bail now , " says Alex . " I do n’t desire a fop ’s guts coming undo at my natal day gangbang . Besides , six guy wire is still plenty . "
4. Coping With Opening-Night Jitters
It ’s Monday dawn , the day of the gangbang . Alex and I have n’t been up long when we hear both of our phones vocalize the Facebook message telling in unison . A herald of another pearl - out , we ’d feared that bright small ping all weekend . Alex look at her earphone first and confirms that Mac , a firefighter who makes the cast of300look like bill poster male child for dad bod , is post his regrets . He has to be at the fire station that night . So now we ’re five .
Alex and I control into the hotel around 3:30 , and agree that the king elbow room with unobstructed floor - to-12ft - ceiling views of the Manhattan sensible horizon is ideal for our purposes . For an hour or more we loll around in the way that a stylish hotel way elicit one to loll . I take a few movie of Alex ’s raw lolling and share with the group .
after we head to Whole Foods , a liquor store , and CVS with a list of essential gangbang birthday party supplies . This includes plastic cups , cupcakes , cut fruit , tea leaf tree crude , beer , tequila , water , and vitaminwater . We manoeuver back up to the room , trying and likely failing to disguise from the hotel staff the fact that we ’re host a get - together .
I busy myself with putting the finishing touches on the party ’s Spotify playlist . I ’ve fit with a mix of current cheerful electro sounds , like in look to the stuff we usually get it on to . Then I futz with the lighting and strategically position safety , lube , wipe , and black latex paint gloves around the elbow room so that they are in soft reach for everyone . Alex administers the first of several one shot of enemas , then showers , dances barefoot and ass - plug across the polished cementum floors , and order on makeup .
With 45 minutes before the guys are schedule to arrive , Alex expresses – for the first time , mind you – that she ’s go through some nerves at the mentation of having sexual practice with a automobile - load of fellow , two of whom she ’s never laid eyes on . We cuddle and I tell her that I ’m with her every stride of the mode and that she ’ll be amazing . At her request , we quickly cycle through all of the kinds of sex as another form of preparatory measure forward of the big event , then I take the drink and fruit out of the fridge and ready them up . Alex and I both sip tequila on the rocks , a custom that we take part in justly before we embark on any gasbag - pushing risky venture . Then we hold back .
5. The Main Event
At 9:29 our phones pink in concert . All four boys are in the lobby , which is handy as I only have to make one trip down to bring them all . I recognise them all warmly , especially Kenneth , who has almost certainly saved the day by round off up a small posse comitatus at my behest . In accession to being extremely punctual , everyone is smiley , personable , eager , heartfelt , and straight-from-the-shoulder . They each ask me about how Alex is feeling on the short lift ride up to the elbow room .
The five of us enter and find Alex looking small on the white surface area of the king - sized seam , kneel , wearing nothing but a rose - pink hooded sweatshirt . She bosom everyone and while Gabriel take a shower , the other boys take a tooshie and ask Alex to reiterate the experience she ’d like to have . Her solvent are meet with excited smiles and nods .
" This is what my workfellow Effy Blue [ an ethical non - monogamy tutor ] call BIDding , " says Kenneth . " submit edge , intentions , and desire . A boundary is something you do n’t desire to do , like ' no slapping ' could be an instance of a boundary . An purpose is a gravid - scene plan for the the party . So ' I want to be the center of attention and call the shots ' could be an intent . desire are concrete things you want to do . ' I need to be airtight ' might be a desire .
" It totally is , " enjoin Alex , who then reiterates her visual sense for the evening .
" Are you skittish ? " asks Joe who is 6'5 " and take care like a Celtic version of a Dothraki horse lord .
" A little , " she says .
Admitting nerves just seems a novelty for the woman I ’ve always seen as a consummate badass , and in that present moment , I require to dismiss all the other sheik and just bosom her all nighttime long . But Raoul , who has the skimpy and lithe physique of the pole performer he is , has a good idea .
" Well how would you feel about an eight - hand massage to get begin ? " he says , and beckons me over to the layer where they now perch to connect in .
It straightaway becomes clear that the three Hacienda son have worked as a squad before and it ’s not long before Alex ’s nervousness dissipates completely . Toweled off and swinging , Gabriel go forth from the bathroom , grabs a container of fruit , and feeds Alex a bit .
" Oh my God , this is amazing ! " says Alex , laughing . Even though the night is just beginning , I get the sense that it ’s going to be a roaring success .
It ’s deserving cite at this point that , if you ’re the jealous character , being involve by bae to get together some buster as they at the same time fill her every dead body dental caries is something of a grandiloquent order , birthday or not . I cognize that because , when I was in my 20s , a much tame request would have made my foreland explode . My 30s , however , have been a time of feeling increasingly comfortable in my own skin . I chose to relinquish touch sensation of insecurity and have since gather an ability to fete and even help realise my partner ' illusion .
Therefore , to see Alex beaming and laughing throughout the evening makes me very well-chosen . Many of the highlights are a little too pick to detail here but the adult - picture opinion is that her expectations were exceeded ( as were mine ) and she got on with each of the participants magnificently .
After each of us shower , the other boy stick around for some post - bang analysis and line - communion . When they leave , Alex and I have a post - gangbang bang of our own and exhibitor . It ’s now after 1 am , and we fix out on the empty streets of Williamsburg in search of food .
" Crif Dogs is still overt , " I say to Alex , referring to a local spicy pawl place .
" Sure , what ’s one more wienerwurst ? " she says .
6. The Postgame Analysis
After a day of internally processing what had transpired , I take Alex all about her experience and am entranced to get a line her responses .
" It was almost unrealistic that these five hot flesh – who all knew on the dot how to make me feel estimable in their own way – would be such total sweethearts , " she says . " But the best part had to be when I made you all brook in a line and helicopter for me at halftime . "
I can understand why a lot of men reading this might feel that serving up a crew of fun , hard - bodied sex wonks to my girlfriend is something of a gamble . And yes , on a subconscious level I suppose I did harbour cryptical - seat anxiety about her experience with one or more of them being so creative thinker - thawing that it could reposition what she liked about me or even become an uncomplimentary point of comparability . But that did n’t pass . In fact , because the birthday female child ’s experience was our sole direction , the evening took on the standard atmosphere of a Skillshare academic session and became a successful experimentation in socio - sexual sovietism . I certainly find that I learned some things about sex , but I also learned that making the dreams of someone you love come true is every bit as powerful an endowment fund as rippling muscles . Or masterful technique . Or a penis like a pillage - winning Musa paradisiaca .
