I strongly recommend we NP never meet up.Just in case we all are "unusual" as defined by Kinsey.

It could be too 'wild' for us ever to call ourselves NP ever again.

I got that too!

And me!

a) when do we stop being very unusual and change the norm?

b) on the page where you enter your answers, there is a button right at the bottom ('click here') where it tells you if you have failed to answer any of the questions. It tells me I have failed to answer 'x' questions. I counted and I entered 'x' falses which might just be a coincidence, or might be a problem with the page?

I think also they fail to think about why people answer a question a particular way. For example, does the fact I answered FALSE to the question about whether your consideration of taking part in an orgy depends on the gender of the participants in that orgy suggest a) that I am bisexual or b) that I'm married and not interested in an orgy in the first place?

Fwiw, if one were ever to go somewhere public on a meet up where everyone is meeting up defined by a particular wildness its very tame and safe and almost nothing that wouldn't happen at any other meet up happens, but the topic of conversation has a lean, but not an exclusive one. So I am told.

But I would see that as answering the question incorrectly. (I really struggle with this sort of test so this sort of thing interests me) and I cannot quite remember the question..something about sex of the participants defining your interest in the orgy?

You put aside the fact you are married and the terms of your relationship are defined as they are and look at the question about an orgy out side of that parametre. So its just the sex and orgy. Never mind the orgy, that's not the question, its the sex of the participants in it.....so its nt really asking about the orgy so much as the 'homosexual' aspect. In fact, no where in the defined groups is polygamous homo, hetero or bi separated from monogamous. For many that's a bigger divider and while it appears I the questions its not in the answers so its a red herring.



Is that wrong?

However I can't answer the question correctly. The gender of participants in an orgy is irrelevant if I'm not interested in the first place. The other option is not to answer "I'm not interested in an orgy", it is "the gender of the participants would bother me", or words to that effect. In reality I have less issue with who is taking part than the fact I've been invited to an orgy in the first place, if that makes sense. If I answered "TRUE", then that would be equally incorrect.

I think the quiz is poorly defined tbh. I am far from an expert on orgies, but surely there would be a mix of both sexes? If I was interested in orgies, I'd find being the only woman at an orgy full of men somewhat intimidating. Does that make me a lesbian then if I want more people of my own sex there?

I found it a very strange question to start with and hugely ambiguous. And that's just one question!

I agree.

I find all tests like this (I.e. yes/no answers or range of 1-5 ) very hard because the answer is almost always....it depends...

When answering that question I set aside my marriedness and considered the orgy in and of itself.

I was once invited to an orgy in my single days when I lived in Paris but as the woman that invited me had been married for less than a week it seemed impolite to accept.

The 'What's On' guide in Paris (Cinemascope or something similar) used to have a section called 'Soiree Sexe'

Notice the married and not interested implying that it is the married that results in the lack of interest rather than the orgy per se

Middle son's latest drum cover

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu0XLssC4yM

Bit of a funny story about middle son, he got a phone call from the school on Friday as they were worried there was some bullying going on due to his size as he had won an award in the student voted end of year awards.....for rear of the year!

Middle son laughed and said it was ok...as he had voted for himself in that category! That is the difference between middle and youngest, middle can take the pee out of himself and have a bit of a laugh about it whilst youngest cannot.
