French foursome, anyone ? EDITED 23/10/24

I resonate with your story, and the ambivalence of our draw to listening: it should simply be beautiful, but with our embarrassment and our shame, it becomes complicated.

Thank you for sharing not just the beautiful audio, but the sincere and vulnerable story.

Thanks for reading the story and for taking the time to write this.

Would you want to chat about it privately ? I’ve been looking for a pen pal to chat about this kind of stuff for a while.

Really good one. Thanks

I would be happy to discuss further. How can I reach you?

Fellow listener from France here. Thank you for this sound.
Like everyone else before me, I'm impressed by the "plan à 4". The background noise adds an extra layer of authenticity and renders the listening experience very voyeuristic.
I am however very impressed by your command of English language. A young Frenchman in his twenties in 2024 can write English that well ... Are you "professeur agrégé" of English ?
Aside from that, I guess you were probably at the south-eastern part of France and in a fairly big city (with that level of traffic at that hour of the night ...). I live in the south-western part of France and in a smaller city. Even in summer with daylight carrying on till late we don't usually have that kind of traffic.

Anyway, the four protagonists sound like about your age. You might invite yourself for a fivesome if the occasion rises, or at least propose to be the cameraman. If they are that exhibitionist, they will certainly welcome the idea.

Thank you for your kind words

Regarding my english, I guess that's what being an introverted bookworm does to you (hence, perhaps, why I’m recording instead of participating…) though I'm not entirely sure that your lovely compliment is entirely deserved. My accent, for example, is laughably bad. There's beauty in hiding behind the flattering veil of a text-based webforum

I wonder what lead you to think that I was based in the South-East ? This was actually recorded not too far from Paris.

Regarding the enticing thought of becoming an active participant : it would be quite complicated. As stated in the opening post, I'm not living alone and even if I were I would have no direct way to contact those folks apart from shouting through their window...

Life does have a nasty habit of getting in the way doesn't it ?

I have this unfortunate habit of excluding Paris/Ile de France region from my (mind)map The power of suggestion (summer, daylight, heat, sex, foursome ... etc.) triggered the knee-jerk reflection I just imagined that a group of friends, after the victory of OM and a couple of beers, decided to carry on a fuckfeast in their AirBNB in Marseille. At least that's how a South-West listener imagined the South-East style of life ...

Hmmm how to contact a party in progress ? I have no advice to give but I have original and creative ideas ... Not so long ago, while you were a good collégien, you probably made some paper planes in class when you felt bored. So next time, if the club of four begins to make themselves heard, write a self-invitation on a paper plane and throw it through their window (judging from the photo it must be possible) : hello, I love your party, mind if I join you ? My understanding is that if they open the window and make themselves heard loud and clear by the entire neighbourhood, they are certainly not shy.

Any suggestion of books so I can improve my English? Please don't say "50 shades of Grey" ....

Yeah, not sure I’d have the nerves to do such a thing even if the occasion presented itself. I live with my mom, and that would complicate such an endeavour immensely.

Well, although I wouldn’t be so pretentious as to give tips on how to improve what looks to me like excellent English writing, I can recommend what worked for me : listening to and reading about complicated topics of interest to you.

Philosophy books and podcasts, technical books etc… Anything that regularly challenges and enriches your vocabulary.

Perhaps finding a pen pal too, to exercise your expression skills.
