 RULES FOR THEATER SEX
FOREWORD:
I've attended a number of adult theaters in my time, and observed any
number of couples there.  Some know what they are up to, but many (most)
don't, and it impacts everybody's enjoyment of their visit.  For that
reason, I'm going to post this as an adjunct to a story I've written, it

the hopes that it will be disseminated to those who need it.
GENERAL:
1.  An adult theater is an ANONYMOUS place, not a PRIVATE one.  Do NOT
got to an adult theater for PRIVACY.  You WILL be seen - the one thing you
cannot do is keep the other patrons from watching.  And ANYTHING you're
doing is more interesting to us, the other patrons, than what is on the
screen.  You should expect to be watched while you're being fondled (male
or female).  In fact, you should expect to draw a crowd of admirers!  If it
excites you, we're thrilled.  If you don't want it to happen, rent a video

and go home.  DON'T expect us to ignore you.

   2.  Unless you are obviously having an AWFUL time, you will be
approached at some point.  Some couples come here looking for the attention
of one or more anonymous males - we need to know whether you are in this
group - especially since it is the one nearest and dearest to our hearts!
Expect it!  Deal with it properly!  See the specifics below...

   3.  When you leave, you are likely to be followed by one or more of us
who hope for a more comfortable interlude.  A simple 'no' will suffice.  No
need to be nasty.  On the other hand, you HAVE tried the fellow out - maybe
he'll do...
LADIES:
1.  You ARE a lady!  We, the other patrons, do NOT think you are a slut!
I've seen women worry about this on a number of occasions, and it is
unfounded!  To us, you are a fine lady who has graciously allowed us to
experience your sexuality, at some level or another.  We are grateful, and
eager to assist, should you want it.  It is our sincerest wish that you

enjoy yourself thoroughly, and come back, again and again!

   2.  Looks and age mean nothing to us.  It means nothing to us if you are
hugely overweight, or sixty, or your breasts sag.  You are a sexual being
or you wouldn't be there, and we see you for the Venus you are; the fact
that you are the type of brave soul who would bathe herself in sexual
stimulation in our presence causes you to be precious to us beyond the
effects of any surface blemishes you may have.  You may get less attention,
but you will not get NO attention.  In fact, you can expect to be
surrounded by male admirers from all points of the compass, vying to bask
in the aura of your sensuality.  Please treat this activity as such, not as
an imminent attack.  The last thing any of us wishes is to do you injury.

   3.  You are PERFECTLY SAFE here!  You control things, and we will listen
and abide by the wishes of you and your date.  The only thing you have to
fear is fear itself, as Winston Churchill once said.  Should one of us be
less than adept at the performance of whatever service you have been
generous enough to allow him, either instruct the miscreant in the proper
execution of the activity, or wave him off and have him replaced by
another. You may grant or withhold your favors at will on an individual
basis; the fact that you allow one of us to touch you does not grant a
license to any other.  Timidity is unnecessary, and will get in everybody's
way.  You OWN the place, as soon as you take your seat - act like it!  Make
your wants, needs, and restrictions known, clearly, and everyone will abide
by them.

   4.  At some point in the evening, you will be touched by a strange male.
He is asking you if he (we) may participate in your arousal.  Expect it. 
Do not overreact.  HE IS AS SCARED AND NERVOUS AS YOU ARE, but he is
performing a valuable service by determining the depth of your interest. 
You can "just say no" and he (we) will withdraw from the fray.  It may
happen more than once.  Sorry.  We may assume that the first brave soul did
not pique your interest, or a late arrival may not get the word.  But if
that's what you really want, we'll stay away.

   5.  There will NOT be a gang bang!  Theater seats do not allow for it.
The only way that you will enjoy more than the attention of three or four
extra pairs of hands touching your body is if you go to some effort to
assist in the operation and your man actively supports it.

   6.  YOU grant access to your charms.  Your man controls it, but you
grant it.  We WILL take "No" for an answer, but you may have to repeat
yourself.  The best thing you can do is to be very clear about your wants,
needs and limits.  We want you to get every sensation you want out of the
experience - and none that you don't!

   7.  One or more of us may expose themselves to you.  Let's face it, a
good deal of masturbation goes on here, and you're going to be a major
SOURCE of entertainment, as well as being a recipient!  Some ladies like it
- after all, it's a compliment, after a fashion, and it may increase your
arousal to observe this person and examine his 'equipment', which may
differ markedly from you man's.  If you don't, don't look.  Wave him off,
if you must.  No need to get excited about it.  You may see homosexual
activity.  Most of us are NOT really homosexuals - we're merely highly
sexed men without any outlets.  The fact that YOU are getting so much
attention should be a dead giveaway.  You have entered a haven for the
sexually desperate, and we are doing what we must to get some kind of
satisfaction.  We're sorry if you're offended.  Help us, if you can.

   8.  Realize that while we have no interest in hurting you or making you
unhappy, we are NOT your man.  He has all the time in the world to wine you
and dine you and make you feel special.  We have ONE SHOT, in the dark, and
we're going to push your limits, just to find out what they are. 
Understand this activity for what it is and be firm but forgiving.  Review
rule #3.  If you can avoid surrendering to quite unreasonable fear and
assert yourself, you're going to have an incredible experience.  Anything
less will cause you to miss out.

   9.  You're as free as you want to be.  If you just want to be touched on
the leg, no problem.  If you just want to be watched, no problem.  If you
want to have literally every erogenous zone you possess simultaneously
stimulated, no problem!  We will do what you want.  We're happy, literally
thrilled, with any crumbs you care to scatter.  Just because you give your
man the whole shooting match does not mean we expect it.  We may ask, but
we'll accept your answer.  The absolute minimum that you should expect is
that several of us will watch avidly from the surrounding seats, which
should be no surprise.  We WILL limit ourselves to this, if it is your
wish, without complaint, and applaud your efforts vociferously.  To us, you
are living proof that some women REALLY DO like sex, and that makes you a
precious commodity.
MEN:
1.  DON'T take your lady to an adult theater if you're jealous, or prone
to violent reaction to other males!  It's a public place!  If you want to
fondle your lady in private, take her somewhere private!  If, on the other
hand, you or your lady get a thrill out of seeing and being seen at sexual

activity, this is the place for you!

   2.  DON'T take your lady to an adult theater if she can't handle it (or
you) in public!  If she sits there the whole time looking scared,
embarrassed, and disgusted, you're probably in the wrong place.  We're
saddened for you.  Take her home before you damage your relationship.  Set
expectations before you arrive (That's what this document is for!  Get her
to read it, if possible!) HINT: If she won't have sex with YOU with the
lights on, chances are she will be uninterested in attending an adult
theater...

   3.  Be vigilant, but do NOT overreact!  Raise a finger at the miscreant,
and say "No!" That's REALLY all it takes!  In the unlikely event he is an
idiot, there are undoubtedly six other guys in the vicinity who will be
happy to break both of his arms for you.  We're all very pleased that you
have chosen to share your lady's favors with us, and will be happy to
support YOU, not HIM, in an effort to see to it that you bring her back!

   4.  Control of the situation is in YOUR hands, from the outset.  We will
listen to your lady, but we, like you, we hope she will change her mind. 
YOU should be proactive, setting limits and enforcing them.  At the point
where she grants access to the first guest, there will be a rush to join
in. Control things, RIGHT THEN, or she will be overwhelmed.  No one wants
to hurt her, but we're male, too, and we all stupidly rush to get in on
things.  Pick out one or two contestants (hopefully including that fellow
who bravely opened the door) and wave the others off.  They'll settle back
to watch.  You may have to reinforce it periodically, but that's ok.  Think
about it - you'd be pushy, too!  If things get out of hand (this will be a
perception on her part, not reality - she continues to be perfectly safe)
and your lady gets scared and decides it is time to leave, it's YOUR fault!
YOU didn't control things, keeping them at a comfortable level for her.

   5.  If you're bi and want attention, too, someone will offer to take
care of it if you're clear about it.  We probably won't want to embarrass
you or reveal a possible secret in front of your lady, so you will need to
be clear...

   GOOD IDEAS

   1.  Sit with her one or (at most) two seats in from the aisle, and him
on the other side.  Most couples figure this out instinctively.  This
allows an approach, but limits numbers.  It also gets you far enough from
the aisle that we aren't tempted to stand there.  On the other hand, if
you're truly comfortable with the environment, sit right down front so she
can get all the attention she wants...  In the seats, masturbation is the
effective limit of activity that can be provided to her, although she may
deign to deliver a little fellatio; she may be touched all over, but sex is
difficult unless she rides your lap.  Down front, cunnilingus is possible,
along with actual penetration, if that is her wish.

   2.  Wear clothes that are conducive to the level of contact you are
looking for.  Jeans work really well if she wants virtually nothing, but
are a pain if/when she changes her mind.  A skirt, on the other hand, with
or without panties...  Perhaps she will want to go braless.  If he is
expecting to get some attention, either from her or from others, loose
shorts or sweatpants seem to be a good idea.

   3.  Try to avoid mixed messages.  The sooner everyone understands what
you are attempting to accomplish, the sooner everyone can settle back and
have fun!  If he is sitting there glaring at all comers and she is sitting
with her knees together and her hands crossed over her breasts, it will be
difficult for us to determine that you want us to participate in your
experience!  Relax!  Kiss, fondle, enjoy yourselves!  When (not if!) the
overture occurs, accept or deny the attention as is your will, without
making a scene, and we can all get on with whatever level of participation
you have granted us, be it mere observation, or something more.  Nothing is
more frustrating that having one or both of you giving off 'forbidden'
signals, only to discover as you rise to leave that you wanted help...
