You were a lesbian once, weren't you darling?

I was at a dinner party at my parents' house one night a few years ago. I had a gay friend with me, so naturally the conversation was centred on sex. How do gays always manage to do that? Centre the conversation on sex, I mean, not "how do gays manage to have sex?".

Just as my father was carving the roast beef, he leaned towards my mother and boomed in his big English accent, "You were a lesbian once, weren't you darling?"

Indignantly, my lapsed Catholic Irish mother exclaimed, "No darling! I was not. Just because I had sex with another woman doesn't make me a lesbian!"

  2. I had one night where we were so drunk and we (eight of us, one gay) ended up talking about, well, i can't really bring myself to repeat the conversation. I just regret i wasn't drunk enough to simply forget the whole night.

    if you're a lesbian, who'd you do first?

    btw, did you read about the Fairy Penguins downunder?

  3. LOL, well said by you mother indeed. Yes it is true, I have alot of gay friends, ladies and men, and they seem to like to chat about sex alot. On the ohter hand, I have alot of Transgendered friends, and they like to steer clear of such conversations, because their life revolves around BEING the gender that they have internaly, which is different to SEX and yet other people just do not understand that at all.
    Oh yesh, LOL, Treespotter, I think our Fairy Penguins from Phillip Island here are oh so cute!!

  4. I'm not sure I would want to hear that kind of revelation about my mother. Were you traumatised?

  5. Haha, no, not traumatised. My mother is outrageous, she's said worse. And she's right of course, it doesn't make her a lezzer.

    What penguins? What is everyone talking about?

    Yes,
    I have a mental list of potential lesbian lovers which I am going to work my way through if I get to 45 without having found 'the one' (or if I am bored of 'the one').

    The Number One spot is currently vacant (I'm looking for the right girl, as I realised my old Number One would be too sexually demanding when she regaled us with tales of her many conquests). Two women have actually recently requested they be put on my list. I wasn't even offering. I must be doing something right.

    Don't worry, Princess Rhiannon, you are not on the list.

  7. Perhaps it's just Big Tall Ben that always steers the conversation round to his sex life, and I am just generalising.
