What Is a CLIC — CLI Circle Concepts & Guidelines

“Thus, the CLI Circles were born.   It was also the start of a long, loving, and lasting relationship with Henry.   For three years prior to the Silent Water Pond experience, I hated Henry.   It wasn’t until much later, that I realized we were very much alike, and the part of myself I had not been willing to accept, I had simply projected onto Henry where I could justifiably hate it.  

   The day at Silent Water Pond when I stripped while I knew he was watching me, I was incredibly turned on.   I still hated him, but I loved being naked in front of him.   I didn’t know why, and I didn’t think to ask.  

    When Sarah and I set him up to watch us naked again on the dock at Fullman’s Pond, I still didn’t know why I was so turned on.   I had not planned to masturbate while he watched, but I was so aroused, I all but couldn’t help myself.   If it had been some other boy, I wouldn’t have been nearly as excited.  

    It sounds so silly to me now, but at the time, I really didn’t know anything about who I really was, or about my sexuality, or about the concept of ego-projection, or any of that stuff. 

    As a result of our intimate sharing, something must have changed about us.   We must have looked different or behaved differently because others soon started asking what the three of us had that was so good.   With mutual agreements and infinite discretion, we sometimes answered that question, and slowly, our circle expanded.   When we graduated from high school, we all mutually agreed that each of us was free to tell anything we wanted to about our experiences together.  

    Over the years, Henry and I have shared countless intimate times and orgasmic experiences with each other, and although I was tempted on several occasions, Henry and I, in relating to each other, have, to this day, still kept the sovereignty of our body fluids.”  

Jazbell had been leaning back against the end of the couch with her eyes staring reminiscently at the wall across the room as she shared her story.   She takes in a deep breath, sighs, and focuses her full attention on me.   My level of excitement must be obvious.   I’m sitting quite upright on the couch looking at her.

“Apparently, you’re enjoying my story,” she says.

“Even more than usual.   Less than thirty minutes ago, I certainly had not expected to be feeling anything even remotely close to how I’m feeling right now.”  

“Your interest pleases me.”  

At this point, I find myself full of questions.   I start by asking, “How did your sharing with Henry and Sarah change your lives?”  

“Henry melted in our sharing.”  

“What do you mean when you say he melted?” 

“His whole demeanor softened.    His anger died.   He became much more gentle and a lot more fun to be around.   He also became a scholastic star and an academic wizard.  

“And Sarah?” I ask.

Sarah turned into the most loving and giving woman I know.   As for me, I’ll let you be the judge of that.   The three of us are still the best of friends to this day.”  

“And how did you deal with your both loving and hating Henry at the same time?”  

“With the help of Intendr, I came to see that Henry’s relationship to his teachers was something distinctly different from ass kissing and that my contempt and my anger at him were simply a projection of the behaviors or desires within myself that I was unable or unwilling to accept.   When my eyes finally opened, I realized how similar Henry and I really were.   He was the first man, other than my father and Walter Watkins, that I could say I loved.”  

“I’d like to know the exact meaning of the CLIC ?”

“CLIC stands for Caring & Loving Intimacy Circles, often referred to as CLI Circles.”

“And what is a CLI Circle?”

“Essentially, a CLI Circles is created when two or more people gather together to share with each other the joys of emotional and physical intimacy in a context of pre-arranged agreements and in an open-minded and loving environment.

   A wide variety of social interactions are shared in CLI Circles, including sensual pleasures and sexual touching of self and others; however, because of the risks involved, sexual intercourse is not part of the sharing in a CLI Circle.

   The purpose of CLI Circle sharing is to eliminate and/or transcend the sources of fear regarding intimacy and sensuality, and thus, to open those who so choose to new levels of human interrelating.  

   The CLICs offer an environment that is completely private, often profoundly intimate, and always totally safe for everyone involved.   The three rules that Sarah, Henry and I started out with have evolved into a set of basic guidelines that vary only slightly from group to group.”

In surprise, I ask, “You mean there are several CLICs?”  

“I would guess that there are probably hundreds, perhaps even thousands of them by now.   It’s been thirteen years since our first session together.   By the time I graduated from high school, I knew of seven active local groups and had personally shared intimate joys with twenty-seven of my high school classmates plus several of their friends from outside our little hick town.   I took the CLIC arts to college with me.   It was a great hit.   In my four years at Springfield College, the number of groups that I shared in, knew about or had heard of, numbered somewhere between twenty to thirty.” 

“You really are serious.   How come I never heard of any of them?”  

“Discretion is one of the key guidelines.   Membership is by personal invitation only.   Outsiders are told about the circle and about other circle members only with the complete consent of all existing members.   All members are free to go to their other friends and start their own circle without asking the permission of, or even informing existing circle members, providing they say nothing about the identity of their present circle members. 

   The concept of sharing deeply personal and strong emotional intimacy including safe, sensual and sexual sharing is actively supported by circle members; yet, the identification of other members is sacred.”  

Next, I ask, “And where does the finger-snapping come in?”

“The three finger snaps are a secret signal known only to circle members.   I could casually click my fingers in the presence of someone who looks interesting to me and if he’s a member of another CLIC, he’d most probably be aware of the signal and respond to me.   Otherwise, he’d have a reaction similar to yours.”

I say, “Yes, that’s rather clever.   I certainly didn’t think anything unusual when you were snapping your fingers.   So I take it that this is a way of connecting with others who may be participants of another CLIC that you are not aware of.”

“That’s it.   This signal worked well for us at college.   This was one of the ways in which many of our college CLICs got connected to each other.   Without that signal, I would have had a much less exciting and far less interesting college life.   Another significant advantage is that it’s usually much easier to relate intimately to an existing CLI Circle player than it is to someone who isn’t.”

   In some CLI Circles, the participants are very strict in their secrecy, while in others, permission is given to let their activities be known.   The style, format and activities shared in each CLIC are completely individual.   There remains only one absolute rule.”  

“And that is?”  

“Everything that is shared among group members is, at all times, done completely by mutual agreement and free will choice.” 

“What about the third rule you and Sarah and Henry set up?   How do you deal with the safety issue of keeping body fluids separate?”

“That has taken a slight expansion to accommodate couples who are already sexually intimate and are sharing body fluids with each other outside of the CLI Circles.   They can do whatever they choose with each other, but they must, at all times, maintain absolute integrity of their separate body fluids when relating to other CLIC members.   This restriction includes refraining from oral sex or sexual intercourse with anyone except each other.”

“They can go all the way, but others can’t.   That sounds like a double standard.   Doesn’t it create problems?”

“On the contrary, having at least one couple engaging in full sexual sharing in a CLIC is a real blessing.   For a virgin to sit on the same bed with two other people and, in broad daylight or with the lights on, watch them making love is both a great turn on and a great lesson in sexual behavior.   Stoney, have you ever gone somewhere that was exquisitely beautiful such as Yellowstone Park or The Grand Canyon?”  

“Of course.   I’ve been to both.”  

“And later when you saw a photograph of the Grand Canyon, how did it compare to the canyon itself?”  

“About like going into a restaurant and eating only the menu.   There’s just no comparison.”  

“Have you ever seen a porno film?”  

“Yes, several of them.”  

“Have you ever had two people making love right in front of you while you watched?”  

“No.”  

“Well, compared to having two people who are friends of yours make love right in front of you while you watch them or even touch them, the porno films you saw were like going into a restaurant and eating only the menu.   Intimacy is an absolutely personal phenomenon.   It’s entirely experiential.   You can’t capture it on film or in words on a piece of paper.”  

I say, “So CLICs offer safe spaces for intimacy to flourish and safe places to create sexual satisfactions in the absence of fear, pregnancy, social chastising, and sexually transmitted diseases?”  

“Let me re-state that in positive terms.   CLI Circles create safe, private settings where people can freely share their deep personal thoughts with each other;  where they can share their sexual fantasies and have orgasmic experiences with each other;  and do so by pre-arranged, mutual consent in a joyous, loving atmosphere;  where they can feel completely secure in their physical safety while openly sharing healthy sensual and sexual activities; and while postponing their child-creating activities to other times.

     As CLI Circles evolved and expanded, one other important factor came up, and that was the age of the participants.   Because of the major sexual hang-ups of our social structure, membership has a distinct age break.   If a CLIC has a member under the age of eighteen, all members need to be under eighteen.   If a CLIC member is eighteen years old or older, all fellow members need to be eighteen or older.”  

“Why is that?”  

“This is another safety precaution.   What do you suppose would happen if an anti-sexual, anti-choice, anti-life, anti-abortionist, would-be-do-gooder found out about a CLI Circle and its sexually related activities?”  

“Their first response would probably be outrage, and then they would most likely look for ways to stop the activities and punish the offenders.”  

“That has been our assessment also.”  

“So, are you saying that the age break stifles any potential legal response?”  

“That’s exactly what I’m saying.” 

“So why would these people be against CLI Circles?   Sounds to me like the CLICs are major tools for reducing the need for abortions.”  

“They are, and because they offer a socially acceptable way to release sexual tensions and reduce sexual frustration, they're also an alternative to present-day sexual outlets, many of which are socially condemned and some of which are outright criminal."

I ask, "Are you referring to things like rapes, prostitution, and child molestations?"

"Yes,  but none of that matters to someone whose been brainwashed into believing that sex is the work of the devil.   The entire anti-abortion campaign is fraught with hidden agendas one of which is their anti-sex obsession, but that is a whole different issue that we need to keep for another discussion.” ^8-1
