 A Special Way for Single Ladies To Get More Enjoyment Out of Travel

   Joan...  I thought you might like to share my story with your readers. I
am not married, and most of my experiences have been one-on-one (rather
than the threesomes which dominate your files), but I think my way of
finding and enjoying new lovers is a bit unique.

   By the way, I have enjoyed some threesomes and group stuff, and when the
situation is right, I have found them to be quite enjoyable.

   By way of background, I am 34, 5' 3", typically about 125 lbs, keep
myself in good shape, and have been told many times that I am attractive
and sexy.  In the bust department I wear size C.  My hips are proportional.

   I love sex (I mean I love it a lot).  I was briefly married once, but
after 18 months I decided that married life is not for me.  I also have no
desire to experience childbirth.  After my divorce I had my tubes tied so
that pregnancy would no longer be an issue.

   After my divorce I met and briefly lived with a variety of guys.  It was
always just for the sex, but I felt that most of the guys I met tended to
want to control me.  Even though we usually had agreements that we could
each date others, the guys I lived with usually were quite judgmental and
moody when I came home and they learned I had been to bed with another guy.

   I never really had to work, although I periodically did.  You see, my
grandfather left me a very sizable trust fund that gives me comfortable
monthly living money...  and allows me to travel to my heart's content.  I
love to travel.

   I eventually met Alvin, a man 12 years my senior.  We dated, and he
seemed oblivious to my other dating life.  He had asked me several times if
I would like to move in with him.  Finally one day I told him that I would
like to, but with the understanding that I would still be dating other
guys. He told me that was OK, but that he didn't want to know the details.

   I moved in with Alvin almost five years ago.  To my surprise, Alvin
didn't want to travel with me.  It seems that his prior professional life
had required him to travel a lot, and had soured him on the subject.  I
told him I planned to do a lot of traveling.  He said, "Go for it."

   That's where my story really begins.

   While I occasionally enjoy traveling alone, I often want to sign up for
organized tours (Europe, South America, Far East, down under, etc.).  Tours
are generally set up to accommodate couples.  Their "single supplement"
pricing for singles can be quite punitive.  Observing that, I decided to
locate some regular traveling companions...  men preferably...  in the
hopes of some enjoyable sex along the way.  Besides, I always enjoy the
companionship of having someone to travel with.

   I got myself a PO Box and started doing some advertising.  I found that
there are lots of Internet sites and newspaper classified columns that
cater to people seeking traveling companions or travel mates.

   I ran ads like "30 year old female seeks male travel mate for trip to
Russia, I pay my own way, you pay yours." I could not believe the number of
replies I got.  My ads have varied over the years, but they follow the same
theme.

   I narrowed down the replies and wrote to the guys who most interested
me. I told them that I wanted to sign up for a certain tour (Globus, Grand
Circle, TANR International, Vantage, Tauck, TransGlobe, etc.) over a
particular itinerary, leaving on a particular date.  Then I told them I
wanted to travel with someone, be roommates with them, so neither of us had
to pay that "single supplement."

   Finally, I told them that I had a fairly high sex drive, and that as
roommates, there was a good chance we would be sharing some sexual fun too.
Then, with that in mind, I asked each of them to send me a nude photo, and
I enclosed one of me.

   Almost every guy I wrote to responded quickly, each with rather explicit
photos that displayed their "equipment." I picked two, and began
corresponding in earnest, and having phone conversations with them.  Many
of the replies came from other parts of the country.  I have my own cell
phone, so I was able to communicate discretely without upsetting Alvin.

   One of the two guys I had chosen had scheduling problems for the weeks
that I wanted to go, so I told him I would contact him about future trips
(I later went with him to New Zealand...  and had a blast).  The second guy
was flexible in his scheduling, and agreed to go when I wanted to go.

   Even though I was making arrangements to spend a week or two with new,
previously unknown guys, I felt I was safe because (1) the guy had to put
up sizable sums of money for his part of the trip, and do so months before
we would be traveling, and (2) I would be spending the entire time with him
in a tour setting where 20 to 40 other people would be around us every day
(including the tour guides).  Personally, I consider this approach to
hooking up with new sex mates a lot safer than simply hitting "meat market"
bars and going home with a guy.  I have done that, but I do it a lot less
now that I have discovered a fun way to travel and have new sex partners at
the same time.

   My first travel mate was Travis, an Asian guy who was two years my
junior.  From his photos, I knew he had a great looking body.  From phone
conversations with him, I knew he had a light-hearted personality.

   I told Alvin I was going to be gone on a trip to Russia for two weeks,
and he simply said, "Have a good time." I smiled to myself, knowing that I
planned to do just that.

   Since Travis lived in Chicago, and I lived in southern California, we
had different flights to London.  We met in person for the first time at
the bar in the hotel where the tour company had made arrangements for the
group to meet.  We talked through some basic (made up) details about our
"relationship," so that if asked, we would be telling fellow travelers the
same story.

   We hit it off well, put all our travel stuff in our designated hotel
room, and presented ourselves at the tour desk for our travel credentials.
We did not represent ourselves as being married, but we left the impression
that we had known each other for years.

   Travis and I had dinner, and then retired to our room to rest up and
sleep for our early morning tour bus departure.  Yes, that night Travis and
I got better acquainted.  He treated me to some enjoyable oral sex, I gave
him a blowjob, and then he screwed me like there was no tomorrow.  I knew I
had made a good choice in travel mates.

   That particular trip took us through Holland, Germany, Poland, Belarus,
Russia, and then back through several Scandinavian countries before heading
back to London.  On the bus Travis and I usually sat together.  During the
daily walking tours, Travis and I sometimes walked together, and sometimes
went our own way with other sub-groups from our tour group.

   One day while I was walking with a middle-aged couple, somewhat
separated from the rest of the group, the lady took me aside and asked what
Asian guys were like in bed (she noted that I was not Asian).  I smiled and
told her that Travis was very good in bed.  That's when she confided that
back home she and her husband were "swingers."

   That night I told Travis about my conversation with the lady.  He said,
"Get her to come to our room, and I will give her a demonstration." I
thought, "hmmm, I wouldn't be losing anything, and maybe I could bed her
husband."

   The next day I took her aside and asked her if she would like to try
"some Asian cock." She immediately smiled and said, "How about tonight? 
You could spend the night in our room, with my husband, and I could spend
the night with Travis."

   Very discretely, she and I switched rooms that night.  Her husband
proved to be a cuddly guy with a long, curved dick that gave me lots of
pleasure.  Travis later told me that after his first round of fucking with
the lady, she wanted him to screw her ass.  He happily obliged.  That's a
form of sex play that I don't care for, so I was happy he was able to use
her ass instead of mine.  They did it another afternoon too.

   During some of my trips, I have spotted a sexy male tour guide, a single
male fellow traveler, or an interesting waiter (etc.) along the way.  I
always tell my roommate that he is welcome to use our room as a playpen
with another woman (if he just lets me know in advance), and that I expect
the same courtesy.  So, I have broadened my experiences with other
additional guys along the way.  Yes, travel can be broadening!

   I have had MANY trips since, with a variety of male travel mates. 
Sometimes we take repeat trips together, but I enjoy the opportunity to
spend my one or two week trips with new guys whenever I can.  And, Alvin
never knows about my extra travel pleasures...  just as he wishes.

   Joan, I write you about this because I think there are lots of women out
there who settle for paying that "single supplement," or foolishly settle
for frumpy female roommates...  when they could be doing as I do, and
enjoying their travels a whole lot more!

   I have also taken cruises this way, and spent weeks on sun-baked islands
with new male travel mates.  Believe me, ALL of my experiences have been
thoroughly satisfying.

   I assure you (and them) that having a new male roommate on each trip is
fun.  I get to see the world, and have new lovers along the way.  When I am
home, I spend most of my time with my main at-home man, Alvin.  He seems
happy with our arrangement, and I sure am too.
