I have some thoughts:

When you find yourself in a sticky situation, you usually know right off the bat what you should do
Given the topic at hand, and your choice of words my answer would be: take a shower

and being so inexperienced I didn't know what to with my hands, or what I was allowed to do, so I let him do what he wanted with them. I kinda felt like a guy getting a lap dance who won't touch the stripper for fear of getting beat up by security.
Dude, given the situation I can say with almost 100% certainty that almost anything you might have done with your hands would have been appropriate. What did you
want to do with them? Was there anywhere you wanted to touch or rub? LOL, this is rapidly getting far too graphic, but point is you probably had mostly free-range. My suggestion woulda been to start off with something milder and more casual, and work up to whatever you were interested in doing. If at any point it had been more than was welcome it probably wouldn't have been that much more (given a semi-gradual progression) and all R woulda had to do woulda been to get up.

You really think they've talked about me privately before? Sure, I was the last to arrive to the house, and it took me about a half hour to get there since they text messaged me as I was getting in my car and I had to go in the opposite direction first to get gas. Sorry, I'm too introverted and self-concious think that people would talk about me in any context that was social.
People, particularly gay/bi boys in our age range
are going to chat about their friends. If you've got good friends it won't be anything too bad or catty, and it hopefully won't violate your privacy, but they ARE going to discuss and reference you occasionally.

Especially since of the three of them, the one guy (call him C) doesn't seem to think about sex a lot (doesn't even like pr0n)
Obviously you know him far better than I do, but you never really know about that sorta thing. I have one very sexual friend who claims to never watch porn (because he lives it perhaps?

j/k).

QUOTE (rknapp @ March 3 2008, 01:00 AM)

the one I drove home (T) is dating C, but is very open-minded and very laid-back. Every now and then he tells me we need to get together to trade pr0n, which I actually do want to do. The only reason I would hesitate doing anything with him is because he is dating C, which throws off everything from the other night because I can't imagine C wanting to be in an orgy, nor can I imagine either him or T being promiscuous or allowing extra-marital relations. I definitely don't want cause them trouble, so I have just always assumed either one of them was joking when the prospect of... orgy-ing?... was brought up (this would be the third time now).
Ask him. Sounds like you could just casually say "have you guys really done that before?". Seriously, it's not that inappropriate to ask if they keep bringing it up.
Couples, especially gay couples, have all sorts of approaches to monogamy (or a lack thereof). Many couples form a sort of "we'll only play together" agreement. Other's know, but don't want want their partner messing around in the house, or telling them about it before/after. Some insist on knowing about it before/after. Some don't really have any ground rules. It's completely discretionary and variable. The important thing, IMO, is simply setting the relationship up such that both parties are comfortable and satisfied with their situation. If I were in a relationship I would enforce a
very strict monogamy which would certainly preclude orgies, but if other people want something else that's their business. Anyway, point is it can be difficult to try to speculate on just what sort of agreement they have without simply talking about it. I knew a lesbian couple that had an open relationship. Never woulda guessed it from talking to them (unless it was about that of course

).

it's just tough to find them outside of GSA meetings and they've never been there alone with me before meetings.
Ohh, good news! They have this wonderful new invention that can help you out in this situation! It's called a phone.
"Hey man, what are you up to today/tonight? Oh cool, wanna go grab some coffee/lunch/dinner and/or hang out?"
Again, that doesn't sound inappropriate at all given that you've frequently partied with them and attend meetings with them. Calling them up randomly to see if they want to hang out is pretty normal. And I know you have their #s because you talked about them texting you! In fact why not let this conversation take place over text? I make LOTS of plans strictly via text.
Regarding the emotions that may be involved in your first time: only you can guess how you'll feel. You may indeed feel very much like some of the others speculated. Or maybe you won't at all. When I lost my virginity it wasn't really a big deal. We were casual friends. We hung out alone one evening. He was hot. We both wanted it. Neither one of us regretted it or expected anything to come of it.
Like you I followed the axiom that it was better to give than to receive, but really the first time I tried that wasn't a big emotional event either.
I sound like I slut. I'm really not, but I am someone who takes context into consideration when it comes to sex. I know what I want and what I don't, and I know what to expect before and after. I definitely recommend you take these things into consideration.
Finally, is having sex with your (close) friends really such a good idea? Personally, I have an official rule that I don't get sexual with guys I care significantly about on a platonic level. If someone's a reasonably close friend and we're not in, or steadily moving toward, boyfriend status, then he's not getting any! And if I were serious about him I probably wouldn't casually sleep with him in the first place.
Saturday night I spent the evening clubbing, dancing, and drinking with one of my new, good friends. It's about the 4th or 5th time we hung out. Anyway, we were both pretty drunk, and he made reference to being all for casually making out (though he'd previously mentioned he didn't do casual sex). If I hadn't cared about him as a friend and been looking forward to strengthening and deepening our relationship I'd probably have kissed him. From there there's no telling what would have happened, although I doubt we would have gone too far, but in any case I decided it was a bad idea.
What I'm getting at - in my typical long-winded way

- is that you have a lot of other very important things to consider besides just your virginity and lack of experience. I would guess that these friendships are a great deal more important to you than messing around. If that's the case I would strongly recommend that you don't indulge in "friendcest".
It works for some people and it's really up to the four of you, but I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

Good luck, Robbie!
I'm wishing you the best
