‘I Was Mortified’: I Bumped Into My Boss at a Private Sex Club. How Do I Avoid the Awkwardness That Follows at Work?

Recently, I decided to tap into my new girlfriend’s adventurous side by inviting her to join me at an upscale sex club that I frequent. I’m the type of man that enjoys living a swinger’s lifestyle, and so I want a woman that ultimately is open to this sort of thing.

My girlfriend seemed unphased when I told her about our Saturday night plans which was a very pleasant surprise. She had never been to a swinger’s club, but she had a great deal of trust in me and felt she would be in good hands and gave me the green light to secure our plans.

We spent the early part of our Saturday before our date at the mall getting ready for the big night. I bought my girlfriend a sophisticated outfit, which is a requirement for access to the club. I also purchased some new lingerie for her to wear. She expressed sheer delight and excitement about our upcoming outing, and I explained how things worked and gave her the lay of the land so she would feel as comfortable as possible. 

Upon arrival at the sex club, we enjoyed a fabulous buffet-style dinner prepared by a state-of-the-art chef. After dinner, we decided to remove our clothing so that we would be allowed to enter the private areas of the club.

My girl kept a towel around her to cover up a little, but I was completely naked.

One of the rules of the club is that there’s no touching allowed without consent from the other party. I looked up and saw a beautiful woman standing just feet away from me. From the back, she was most certainly my type, tall in stature, with natural hair and legs for days.

I walked over to where she stood with my woman and softly ran my finger down her back — breaking the club’s main rule. I knew this would grab her attention, but when she turned around, I was mortified to see that it was my boss from work. I dashed off before we could exchange pleasantries and my girl and I left the private area of the club. 

We both got dressed quickly and rushed to the car. Once inside, I explained what had happened. My girlfriend felt my pain but also pointed out that my boss must be an open-minded individual like me to have been in the club in the first place.

I’m returning to work from vacation in two days, and I’m wondering if I should sweep the matter under the rug and pretend it never happened or take a more direct approach and bring it up with my boss point-blank?
