The Contract:
K and I needed to come to an agreement about whatever the fuck we’re doing, so after our last PMS/feral cat fight we decided to put it down on paper and publish it here, as a token of its binding-ness and for your enjoyment.
1. If bringing another person into our bed (for a sleep over), make sleeping arrangements, preferably before 8pm.
2. If fucking in our bed, make time arrangements.
3. Communicate if going out/staying out and approximated time of return.
4. Uninterrupted dates with scheduled check-in times.
5. Unquestioned floor sleeping for K, with reserved right for H to make fun of. (Yes, K likes to sleep on the floor. No, I don’t snore or do anything weird. He just likes it.)
6. Serious issues won’t be handled via text. In person most preferable, phone as a second option. Issues should also be handled ASAP.
7. Introduce people to date/fuck before making plans.
8. If interested in another person, tell one-another ASAP, especially before making plans.
9. Tell people we intend to date/fuck about relationship status. (Or just send them to this blog! Kidding, kidding, I’d never sabotage myself like that…)
10. Talk out jealousies in person and promptly as issues arise.
11. When traveling apart, refer to previous protocol. (When we lived in different cities in the past we’d fuck, date, etc. and tell one-another about it like giggling teenage girls after the fact.)
12. Condoms and safer sex conversation with everyone. Limit on oral partners (is this for sex parties only?)
13. Talk out sex-party rules before parties.
14. First priority goes to one-another in regards to dates/plans unless prior approval in cases of “sheer spontaneity.” (Someone offers me tickets to Childish Gambino, but I’m supposed to visit your aunt with you, for example. Sorry auntie, Childish Gambino wins out.)
15. Veto power with explanation. NOT to be used lightly. Can be overridden if no good explanation (as determined by a third party?) and during PMS times.
This document is flexible and amendable with prior discussion and approval.
