Big boys' club

La garconnière, I never heard of this word, until I was invited to one. Not exactly invited, but tricked into going. In Hong Kong, couples who don't have the luxury to buy an appartment but feeling rather horny, they can choose either: 1)Go to a hotel/ love hotel, depending on the levels of maintenance of your girls; 2)Fuck on a double deck bed with your sibling above or below, and you will eventually master the skill of having sex in total silence, like a sex ninja, but in a sad way; 3)Be creative about where you can fuck, when you live beyond the rules, the world is so much bigger. French people come up with a better way: La garconnière, or what you call a bachelor pad in English, where a bunch of besties chip in and rent une chambre de bonne in city center, where basically there is just a bed and a bath, taking turns to take their prey there for various purposes, and most of the "bachelors" are in fact married. They might tell you their garconnière is just a place for contemplation, a cave to retreat into oneself, and I think I believe them, just that the "cave" that they so desperately want to thrust to doesn't belong to them, but someone else.
