Marty recounted a story from when she was twelve to Tony and I. She went to a lake house with a cousin of hers. While there she and her cousin, who was also a super-cute girl, ran into some boys also visiting the area. One of the boys became very interested in Marty. In the retelling of the story Marty said the boys first and last name, a name she has remembered all of these years given the awkwardness of their brief encounter. I’m going to help this fella out and not share his name here. She remembers how he kept positioning himself uncomfortably close to her. During one of these close-encounter exchanges, he told the group that he was once in an orgy. Marty wondered if this thirteen year old boy thought a girl who just started wearing bras two months earlier would be impressed by this unexpected experience. After Marty concluded her story the following conversation took place.

TROY
I’m fifty five years old and don’t think I’ve ever come close to being part of an orgy and here this thirteen year old boy already had one under his belt. How can that be?

TONY (18)
Knowing you, I bet you’ve been orgy-adjacent several times in your life but just didn’t know it.

MARTY
Ha! You are so right Anthony!

TROY
Wait. What? What does that even mean?

TONY
It means you been one room away from group sex multiple times in your life and weren’t aware of it.

MARTY
You have definitely gotten yourself into weird situations over the years Troy. You have to admit that.

TONY
I could see you being invited to a party and asked to man the drink table, which you would happily do because you like being helpful. You’d be so engaged in refilling drinks for people you wouldn’t even realize half of them weren't wearing pants.

MARTY
I can so see that happening.

TONY
And even if you got suspicious because you thought you heard or saw something in the next room, you wouldn’t leave your post because the host told you to make sure nobody put drinks on his stereo system and you’d be afraid if you walked away someone might put a drink on the stereo system.

MARTY
He would never risk it, naked people or not.

TROY
Ok. So let’s say this is true and has happened, according to you all, multiple times, the only question is how impressed is Marty by all her husband's orgy-adjacent experience?

It turns out the answer is, not very.
