Among my single female friends who are now in their thirties, the feeling is "that the good men are already taken."

As...? :) I agree you're the same as you, but you're not the same as anyone else! "Be yourself. All the other jobs are taken!"

It was. The local College -- State University of New York at Fredonia -- has a yearly Marx Brothers' movie fest, called "Freedonia Marxonia".

I agree totally, but there was none of that in The Mists of Avalon. It was the idea that gripped me so hard and stuck in my young mind for days, much like the time a girl in my elementary school class asked the nun what a "mistress" is. She said it was the girlfriend of a married man. My thought was that's sounds nice, I'd like to be that. Mists is the King Arthur story told from a woman's perspective, which fascinated me. Gwenhwyfar is childless and the reason she and Arthur invite Lancelot into their bed, and into Gwenhwyfar, is to make a child in the king's bed while Arthur was in town so that he (a male, hopefully) would be the legitimate heir. Gwenhwyfar is in love with Lancelot and welcomes the opportunity on both levels. Fortunately for me, however, that's where life stopped imitating art. Clair accidently got pregnant by hubby (she wasn't screwing Red at the time). She was distraught thinking it would upset hubby and/or, but I was ecstatic. We took the day off from work went out and celebrated with lunch, new clothes, a baby thing or two. I didn't care what hubby would think, we were having this baby. Turns out he was shocked and as happy as me. We also decided that I would try to get pregnant ASAP, and as in the book tried to conceive with both hubby and Red. Unlike the book, I quickly was pregnant.

You bring back intense memories of a book that I purchased in a used bookstore on the Cape, The Mists of Avalon. I was a girl becoming a woman who had already discovered the joys of my clitoris. At the end of a chapter, Gwenywyfar invites both Arthur and Lancelot into her bed in a threesome, something unimaginable to this Catholic girl. As it turned out, life eventually imitated art and I ended up with a husband and boyfriend.

I’m an author who has begun writing about Swinging. I’m trying to do something different than most erotic writers (that I have seen) do. I’m trying to do a storyline and deeper character development that addresses what lead people into a specific swinging experience, or swinging in general, and also address the doubts and emotional issues that go along with it. But when there’s a sex scene it will be very explicit. So, normal looking and thinking people doing it , objective and descriptive language to describe it (versus metaphorical or cliche language like flower and love-Rod) and a storyline that leads to some evolution of character development. i think it’s innovative and different but who knows ? If anyone wants to check it out, the first three “episodes” of my first story, “Acceptable Risk” is available at The Amazon Kindle Vella store - here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BK5P6BW2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=SGNM4ZLH1FGK&keywords=acceptable+risk&qid=1666533946&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjU3IiwicXNhIjoiMS40NSIsInFzcCI6IjIuMzMifQ%3D%3D&s=falkor&sprefix=%2Caps%2C137&sr=1-1 (Please remove if not ok to post links)
