I was living with my girlfriend at the time and she was bi, I am not. But I am very open minded, to a point. We sometimes "shared" our bed with another girl, to satiate her needs and to keep our love life full of adventure. I was thinking about "My Circle" and wanting to repeat the feat.

When I set out to do this, I had to restructure my philosophy a bit for this piece and my situation. I always felt that these girls should never become integrated into our relationship. Just as I'm sure she wouldn't want me lunching or shopping with one of our lovers, I felt the same about her. It isn't about being jealous, but things happen. Not to mention, the third person may take a shining to one of us and then you have a problem as well.

This "adventure" was for us and our relationship, not about having someone IN our relationship ... if that makes any sense to you.

Thus:  "Only for a few fleeting moments, it can hold three ..."

We kept them as "toys" and not "friends", for lack of a better term ... no staying overnight, no dinner/movie parties, shopping or beach trips or any other outside bonding. Just come over, have our moments and say goodnight. It sounds cold, but it never was. We would explain it before they ever came to our bed. Not once did we come across one that disagreed with the philosophy or didn't understand why we wanted it to be only about the "moments".
