For a long time in my early adulthood, I was basically broke, and living a hand to mouth existence. I learned how to live on very little money, and to this day I am not really all that materialistic. And that aspect was amped up big time as I dismantled the apartment. It really is just stuff.
That being said, I got my arm twisted by my housemate to spend the weekend at All Worlds / Inn Exile in Palm Springs.
OK, it was a little pricey, but we had a good time there. And I learned that we see eye to eye on the idea that you don't do stuff like that alone. Although it would SOUND as if it would be a good idea in light of the fact many people go to engage in NC-17 activity with strangers, it's really not the case. First you need to compare notes. Second a wingman is useful in this situation.
My housemate and I sleep in separate bedrooms, but I will also admit to one thing. I like sleeping in the same bed with him! It is a nice feeling (especially since damnit he is a great guy who is nice to cuddle with.) Worst case scenario, I got practice in sleeping with others.
And it was probably worth the money because we both needed the break.
