So one of my readers, Donna, left a comment: “I’m getting the impression that lesbians are having orgies in the Army. In Iraq in the Army. Aren’t they busy trying not to get killed?”
Well since we all know I’m not the one in the military, god forbid this card carrying lesbian signs up for a don’t-ask-don’t-tell career, I can’t exactly speak with any authority on the exact orgy numbers. But I can share what I’ve heard.
The Marine I’m dating that’s headed back to Iraq in a few months has regaled me with many stories of how she has seduced, kissed, slept with countless women in her company. OK OK, not countless. But you get my point.
In the beginning, I too thought that I would be the one with all the opportunity to cheat. After all, I’d be left behind, but left in the land of lipstick lesbians aka Los Angeles. Meanwhile my would-be-girlfriend would be fighting a war on foreign soil, in 120 degree heat, trying to stay alive and come back home safe and sound.
But then one night she showed me a photo album from her last tour in Iraq. Imagine my surprise when I saw pictures that most closely resemble a college frat party in uniform. Or actually, mostly out of uniform. These kids are over there fighting alright. But at the end of the day or whenever they have some free time it sure seems like they try to make the best of it.
Add to it the fact that it seems that the military attracts lesbians, most of the enlisted women bat for our team. She has more opportunity to meet women than I do! Plus they’re all in tight quarters, on the other side of the world, in harm’s way 24/7. Wow, could there be a bigger recipe for hot hook-ups in the desert? I don’t think so.
So yes Donna, from what I hear from several women that have served in the armed forces …. it is pretty much the best place to meet and hook-up with hotties in uniform. I wish I had joined right out of college. All those hot young women in uniform, good Lord! But I digress.
Orgies in Iraq? I don’t know about that. But it does seem that her chances for cheating (if we were to commit to one another before she left) would far outweigh mine. Not to mention she’s got the whole, danger girl thing working for her. But when it comes down to it, I guess it’s all about trust.

Well…depends. Yeah, there are lots of hook ups, but I think it depends on where you are. A friend of mine (who bats for your team) was at KNB where there were occassions to “not see anything”. Privacy was generally lacking, so there were apparently a few hook-ups in porta-potties.
Now, who on earth wants to get off in a porta-john in the Kuwaiti summer?
Who’s worried about who has more opportunities to cheat? There are those who do, there are those who don’t. Opportunity does not really factor into the equation. Those who do find a way. Gay, straight, chemical toilet in 130 degrees and 90 percent humidity, it doesn’t matter. What matters is who she is and, really, who you are too.
Wow, learn something new every day! I was hoping Cecilia would respond to my comment–thanks CC Lesbian for enlightening me.
Fascinating stuff :)! The creaky gears in my brain are slowly beginning to move–there’s definitely salacious-factor enough in there for a low-brow memoir (or collection of memoirs) or at least short story or short film on the subject, or maybe from a larger point of view but the military hook-ups can be an element of it……..sexy but not too sleazy. Let’s write one and make some $! I’ll be the one to try and find the porta-potty chicks to interview!
