Ok - here is the stats update for the orgy on Sat 30th June:
61 guys invited (May - 60)
32 guys have confirmed (May - 38)
10 cannot come (May - 8)
18 not responded (May - 13)
1 has not received the message (May - 1)
Hmm, perhaps London Pride has had an impact on the numbers.
38 confirmed in May and 25 attended. Perhaps room for a couple more?

The backlash
A few letters in the months edition of Attitude about the article on orgies (that's two months in a row I've bought it!)
Some people are uncomfortable with the idea of an orgy. It's not something I struggle with - as far as I'm concerned, you can never have too much sex.
One of the letters encourages Attitude to put forward the message, 'Don't fuck around' and it's not a good idea to suggest that everyone goes to sex parties as there is no such thing as completely safe sex.
Of course, if you have alot of sex you have a greater chance of getting a sexually transmitted disease - but I take the view that if you act responsibly and have safe sex then you take a measured risk.
Since starting the orgy, I have never had an std, and I have a sexual check up every 6 months. I hope that if any of the guys who attended felt they had picked anything up here that they would tell me, but I haven't had any messages like that.
Other letters raise concerns about the willingness of guys at an orgy to have sex without a condom. I completely agree with that. I have safe sex with any guy - whether it's at the orgy, a guy I have met on gaydar, someone in a bar or a guy I'm going out with.
The message we should be concentrating on is 'Have safe sex', not 'don't have casual sex'.
I completely agree with the letter that states, 'Casual sex need not be associated with moral depravity ... As long as it's safe and consensual .... then what the bloody hell's wrong with it?'

Self congratulation
There were a couple of comments posted to the blog when it was on gaydar. I don't get many comments so I'm posting them here. I know, I know.
I find this blog fascinating - I always wondered about the organisation that goes into organising events like this. I also cannot believe the messages people send and the expectations they have or the rude responses they send. At the end of the day an orgy is not a public service does anyone really have the right to complain and be so rude?! The writer is very considered and sounds so calm it is great fun to read - I love the intrigue (the events are never described only the administration surrounding them!). A great blog: I enjoy it.

I have to agree with the previous writter, some of these guys just need to get over them selves. It also seems that many guys think that the organiser hasn't got other things to do. i'm sure he loves to organise these events but it not as if its even a business. i think we can all be guilty of gettin wrapped up in our own world. keep it up mate!
