I have been one time...but it was a big one. I've been thinking about "what could have been" ever since it happened (or didn't happen for me).
The summer after senior year of college, myself and a lot of my friends stayed in town until our apartment leases ran out (in August). As it was the summer and we no longer had classes, our group of friends went out to the bars pretty much every night of every week...essentially the cycle was to work during the day, just to make enough money to pay for rent, food, and booze. Go out every night and hope you're not too hungover to make it into work the next day.
A friend of mine had a girlfriend who went to a different school, but came to live with him during the summer. I knew that they had "swung" a few times amongst a close group of friends that they had, but nothing like that had ever happened with our group. Well, unfortunately, when it did happen...it was one of the few nights all summer that my girlfriend and I didn't go out with them.
Apparently one night, the couple, my male roommate, another (male) friend of ours, and two girls who worked with the female in the couple all went out to the bars. Somehow after the bars, they all ended up at our friend's house...and somehow after that, things devolved into an orgy; a full-on orgy.The crazy thing too is that aside from the swinging couple...not a single person out of the other four had ever done anything like that. I found out the next day when I met everyone for dinner. The "air" was awkward and tense the whole time...and then finally I asked what had happened, assuming that people must have gotten into a fight or something. Finally, the girl from the couple blurted out that they "all hooked up last night". When I asked, "Who hooked up?"...she responded "Everyone...with each other. We all had sex together last night".
Since then (it's been years now), I always wonder what could have been if my girlfriend and I had gone out with them that night (as we did almost every night that summer). Of course....I have a feeling that had I been there, it would have been an even worse feeling than missing out entirely. I am 99.99999% postive that my girlfriend would have gotten pissed at the whole idea and would have stormed off....and because I'm a sucker, I probably would have followed her.
By the way...that was only about halfway through the summer...and after that, nothing along those lines ever happened again with our group.
