Another Night at The Cafe
Last night, I went with a group of co-workers to The Cafe. I've posted before about a few of my adventures at The Cafe. Interesting things seem to happen in that space.
I enjoyed dancing among a circle of my co-workers. I'd never seen any of them dance before, so there was entertainment alone in watching the way they move.
I'd been telling my friend Jeff that C and I have been considering having a baby. I'm, as yet, feeling rather undecided about it, so have been bouncing the idea off of friends. Another co-worker, Rick, had admitted to me that he and Jeff had made jokes about "helping me out" and offering me some of their sperm. Now by any other two people, that might have been horribly offensive, especially reading Rick's smile and tone of voice. But Jeff is gay and Rick and I have the type of friendship where we spend most of our time rating the women in magazines on a 1-10 scale. So somehow, I didn't take his gesting too seriously.
So while on the dance floor, Jeff and I started to groove together. His boyfriend was dancing next to him, so although I got a little thrill from it, I wasn't thinking of it as particularly sexual.
Then Jeff leaned in and asked, "Are you still looking for sperm?" His tone was conversational, but considering the proximity of our groins to one another, I couldn't help but find it hysterically funny. I don't think Jeff knows that Rick had told me about the joke they have shared, as my laughter clearly took Jeff by surprise.
Jeff got all flustered. "Oh no, not like that!"
I got my laughter under control.
Then Jeff added, "I wish we could do it." And I fell into hysterics again.
Jeff got really embarassed and put out by my laughter and danced away as he explained, "No. I mean, I wish my boyfriend and I could get pregnant that way."
I really must learn to keep my mind out of the gutter.
Jeff and his boyfriend are nice guys, but 1) I don't know them well enough to have a baby with them. 2) They are moving to Boston soon. And 3) I don't even know if I want a baby!
Okay, I do feel kind of bad about laughing so much, now that I've written this post. It was a lot funnier before I really thought about it.

Comments:
I have a few friends who have offered their sperm some without attachement some with co-parenting offers. Although I am not in the market for children now, I am find it great that I know in the back of my head I could call on them.
btw: Happy New Year my friend.

I doubt that it's simple coincidence that he asked you when you were in that position. The idea of providing sperm may be seductive, particularly if a man is gay.
