Anyone have a town/life where you could do
complex yet simple diagrams that listed everyone who had slept with or dated with everyone else in their town? I'm not talking about small towns, as I live in Indy. But once a few of my friends sat down and listed all the personal relationships that we knew, and a small group of the same people kept on popping up.

It's especially bad if you all share overlapping interests. I knew people in the SCA, gaming, martial arts, anime, horror, and some other off-beat topics. But no matter how large we made out lists, 4 or 5 people kept on popping up. It just kept on popping up that the same 4 or 5 people were screwing their way through multiple groups and the same time.

10. WINNER!
You're the first person ever to call it, though I'm pretty sure just about every Chicagoan recognizes it.

4. I once was in a work meeting with six other people in the room...
and was desperately bored. As I scanned the faces around the table, I realized that everyone present, myself included, shared the same "sexual tree."

Everyone in that room, as it were, were brothers and sisters of the sack.

Strange and amusing.

5. What business was this?
I'll say it doesn't seem like it would ever be like that on software development teams. Not ones that develop real utilitarian things like business software. :)

6. Oh yeah
For a while almost everyone I knew had ongoing sexual relationships with almost everyone else I knew--and they all knew about it! There were several poly groups, a "travelling affairs where the wife in an open marriage had long-term relationships with some of the husbands in the poly families, and some plain ol' non-contractual sleeping around. It was no big deal, everyone used protection and didn't sleep with anyone untested. It made me feel almost boring!

9. Not really, BUT...
Several years ago in Denton, a friend of mine and I were talking about this guy she was really into at the time. She said his first name, but didn't really say much else about him other than that she found him attractive, and what they had done together (dates, long discussions, etc.)

Imagine my surprise when this person walked into our coffeehouse, she delightedly called out his name, and he was a guy I slept with in Denton years ago.

It was all I could do not to lose it laughing hysterically. I told her about it later, and we both had a good laugh. She later discovered the same thing I had. The guy was kind of a jerk.

11. I've had this happen with 2 different sets of friends...
in high school and college.

In high school if the first guy I slpet with had had anything then everyone I was friends with would have had it by the time we graduated.

In college I can remember sitting down at a table to play cards with a group of 4 guys and realizing I had slept with all of them. Eep. What was worse is there was this chick who followed along behind me and was the next person to sleep with all my exes. Too weird.
