I did meet a girlfriend long ago in a bar. I was there for a work party, she and her girlfriend showed up without knowing of the party. I was drunk but flirty, she thought I was a cute drunk. We exchanged phone numbers, we were together for about a year and a half.

Last two work, previous bars or parties. They picked me up, not the other way around.

It has long been an axiom of mine that if you are female and want to meet intelligent, geeky males, you should learn to play role-playing or collectible card games and hang out in the game room of your local gaming store. The male/female ratio at such places is highly unbalanced :>)

My high school 50th reunion
My high school 50th reunion
Interviewing at an independent day school for my 7 yr old son.
Met him at a fashion show at Bloomingdale’s and thought, briefly, he was gay so I felt free to chat.
I needed a lawyer and was sent to him by a cousin.

Way to rock the reunion, Gail!

@laureth: Hey, I had a third guy that I had known since third grade waiting in the wings. At that point, I felt embarrassed and imaged the talk in the boys’ locker room.

Then nature nudged me, gently and easily, into celibacy. And not a moment too soon.

[NSFW] I’ve met a number of women who’ve read my kinky erotic HungryGuy stories online, wrote to me, and subsequently got together for a “play date” (involving home-made “furniture,” custom-crafted leather gear, lots and lots of rope, various gags and insertables, and assorted sharp implements for those “special” ladies who are so inclined) lasting anywhere from a couple of hours to a long weekend.

Now, 99 out of 100 times, they turn out to be teases toying with me (usually involving some elaborate scenario why she can’t go through with it), but occasionally they turn out to be for real. But that 1 in 100 is what makes it all worthwhile to be known as that guy who writes those weird stories about kidnapped women forced to engage in bizarre kinky sex… :-p

@KatetheGreat I like how you just slipped that one in there (no pun intended) along with the relatively mundane ones that everyone else has also listed. I know zero about BDSM clubs in Czecholslovakia. If you don’t mind, could you enlighten us with a tale or two?

@deni How do you accidentally have sex?

this is a funny thread

@cockswain Haha well you know Craigslist rideshare? He was my random rideshare from Denver to Pittsburgh 2 summers ago. Now we live together.

@cockswain How do you accidentally have sex?

This question doesn’t have to be about sex. “Intimate link up” could mean a lot of things. I have only actually had sex with 2 of 5 intimate link ups in my list, for example.

@cockswain Well, Czechoslovakia can get pretty weird if you go to the wrong place. I was with a friend and he was telling me about this “amazing” club that he had been going to for a long time. Being my friend, I trusted him. So I walk in thinking I’m just going to get a drink and talk to some dudes. He took me to the back and introduced me to all of his friends and it seemed normal at first until they dragged me off into another part of the club and I walked into a massive orgy. There was a dominatrix literally smacking the shit out of everyone, a man almost double fisting a woman, and various others engaging in painful behavior. I was pretty intrigued at that moment, and then everyone started to beg me to join in on the fun. I kindly refused, since I was only 17 at the time. I walked out and found a guy just sitting there confused, so I began to talk to him. It turned out that he was in the same predicament as I was and then we became pretty good friends. We drank together, stayed the night with each other, and pretty much hung out all summer. I really liked him and then I had to go back to the U.S. for college. :(

Starting from the most recent…

1. Random hot girl- She came to help out at the place where I worked at the time. One night stand type of deal.
2. SO’s friend- Met her through him for a fun weekend for the three of us.
3. Random drunk guy- At a party. He had sex with me.
4. SO- Myspace LMFAO!!
5. (No fifth person yet)

1. Neighbor

2. High school friend, and eventually a co-worker at a restaurant

3. Went to a presentation where he was giving a lecture

4. My best friend’s boyfriend invited him to a club where he was playing, mutual friends also knew him

5. At work, but in another different dept.

From first to current:

1. College (San Fernando Valley State College- now known as CSUN).
2. She was a live-in housekeeper at a friend’s house.
3. A childhood friend with whom I reunited at my parents’ place in Palos Verdes, CA.
4. Work
5. Through Great Expectations dating service.

@deni That’s hilarious. Good work.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard I was just counting any encounter in which someone else made me ejaculate. I’d have to alter my list if I just included playing with some tits or ass for a while.

@KatetheGreat I love that story. I have a really funny picture in my head of that orgy. Probably nothing like what you saw, but making me giggle.

@cockswain Hahahaha, just imagine some of the strangest people you’ve ever seen, plus lots of leather and chains. Scary shit, bro.

I’d love to smoke a joint and sit there and watch.

@cockswain Hahaha, I’m into that sort of stuff, but what they were doing was just INSANE.

@Facade Hawt Re: 1 and 2.

@Adirondackwannabe and @crisw: I’m not the prettiest girl, but in the nerd world, I’m kind of Angelina Jolie. I have my pick of nerd boys when I walk into a room which sounds horrible, but I met my lovely boyfriend that way so I can’t complain too much about having my pick. :)

All the guys I ever dated, I either met at school, parties, or neighborhood. I had to know someone who knew the person I would date or at least have been exposed to this person in a setting where I could get to know this person over time, Like a school mate or neighborhood.
But if you mean physically intimate than only one applies. That was at my best friends house. Blind date setup. Really blind. I didn’t even know I was suppose to be his date.
