Is it possible?

Is it possible to have a family-friendly Litogether?

The purpose of a Litogether is to meet the people we've been posting with. To be with friends in an atmosphere where we can be ourselves and express ourselves as we do on the boards here. To express our sexuality as we feel fit at the moment. A place where we don't have to watch what we say and fear judgement or be afraid that our children might hear something they shouldn't. A time to listen, learn, and explore.

I learned this past weekend ... that a Litogether can be child-friendly. My plans were re-arranged for me Sunday and I ended up taking my child back to the hotel of the Litogether. We all went out for lunch, child included. Everyone was very friendly to him, and although there was an occasional slip of the tongue here and there, he came home still thinking I was at a birthday party.

I believe Jag said it best in his reflection of last weekend:

As I sit here with my cup of coffee, I cannot help but reflect upon my first Litogather and think what they truly mean.

A Litogether is NOT the orgy that many of the people whom have not attended one, seem to come to think. Yes, there are some whom get lucky, and others whom do not. Does it really matter if you got lucky? No, that should not have been your goal in the first place.

A Litogether is about being able to be in a place, where you can be whom you are, without persecution. Being able to sit down and discuss a topic, that despite our country's claim of openess, is still quite a bit shunned. To be able to openly discuss the many aspects of sex.

It is for the young couple just learning D/s lifestyle to learn from the more experienced couple. It is a place to learn how to properly give your mate a relaxing massage. A place to learn how to please your partner with different tricks others have passed on.

A Litogether is about being able to meet and spend time with those of whom you have chatted with on the boards and enjoyed each others writing work. It is about sharing writing techniques and discussing works in progress. But it is about the laughter, the jokes, the good times that we all shared. Its an escape from a straightlaced world, to a world where you are accepted for enjoying wearing latex and leather. Where you are accepted for being a naturalist, and perhaps a place to learn about being a naturalist.

In the end, a Litogether is its own entity, it is a place where you can feel free to be yourself. And that is truly, more valuable than the skin deep tone that those whom have not attended, place upon it. The memories gathered here, the friendships gained, last a lifetime.

So this is the plan ...

Last year, several of us met in Sioux City, IA for a festival called Saturday In The Park (SITP). It was a wonderful time, lots of laughs, friendships made stronger, and B.B. King live.

This year the festival falls on July 5th. We are planning a family-friendly Litogether to celebrate both Independence Day and attend SITP. The children will be well-entertained, getting to know each other and building their own friendships. They will have a room of their own (the age-range will vary, but there are older ones to watch the younger ones) equipped with video games, movies, and junk food. They will have time to swim in the pool. There is also a kids corner at SITP where they can enjoy the rides and other activities while the adults entertain the beer garden security guards.

We have a hotel chosen near the park. If you are interested, let me know. The more of us we have, the more chance of a good group-rate at the hotel, and the more fun we can all have.

She wasn't the only one who took a liking to you


And further more remember St. Louis and how we had the pied piper along with us? It didn't matter that none of us brought our kids everytime we stepped out of our rooms they were flocked around her.

I think the kids will have a ball while we sit on the hill by my favorite tent underneath 'our' tree

~Ahem~ I'm kicking your butt for that one.

Very true ... every corner we turned ... like she had a child magnet!

I think they will too.

SITP has a large array of music, although (Oman ) ... as of right now the line-up consists of "TBD." I'm thinking they'll change that soon.

I am going to have to check my schedule with work and family vacation times. I know we are hoping to go to Yellowstone this year, but I don't know the dates for it. You'll have to mark me as a maybe, until I see where the dates for the spouse's vacation will be. Again it would be just me going.

This would be the perfect opportunity for me to meet spouse. If you align it right, you would actually be going right through Sioux City ...

This is true. I'll have to think about it. Being a family one would be easier for him to accept than the other ones would be, plus there would be more for him to do than just hangout in a hotel room.

I'm not sure though. You know me. My "Red be herself times" are only available at Lit-togethers.

~Nods~ This is a good time for spouses to see what goes on at a Litogether ... well ... most Litogethers.

Nope ... I'll make sure you are yourself.

True. I'll consider it. Let me chat with him tonight and we'll hammer out the final plans for our vacation. It stems mainly around what days he's allowed to ask off and what ones he is not allowed to ask off. The company has "protected" days so those are ones where no one can make a request for a day off.

I'll be me... but still a bit different.

~Nods~ That should be a perfect time regardless, already being a holiday.

I know this is the time that most spend with their families, being the 4th of July and all ... but beings the celebrations suck here in my town, I'm more than happy to get out of here!

You'll be you ... and we'll accept you however you are.

Nope. You have to be sweet and cheerful.

You don't have to have children to attend.

This one is open for everyone.

A chance for those that do have spouses ... that know about their S/O's involvement on Lit ... to get to know us and find out that we're not sex-craved maniacs that are bumping and grinding constantly.

Well ...

Most.
