Ah, you miss the beauty of the Role. There is not 1 Grandmother to rulel the group but each person uses their Grandmother. So there are no 33 year Grandmother's in this rule. If you mother was 16 when she had you, and her mother was 16 for her, and you are now of legal age, that make your Grandmother 50 years old.
The hidden beauty of the "Grandmother Rule" is if you would not Say it or Do it in front of YOUR Grandmother, then don't do it in public. Its a great rule. I am sure someone will find and exception but it has work well for 20 years of munches and dinners for our local BDSM group!
Knowing both my Grandmothers I would never have dared to go as far as being impolite let alone walk into a room where they were buck naked. Strewth, if I was cutting wood with my shirt off, and one of them came out of the house I'd automatically put my shirt on. Same applied for my Mother too. Some things were just not done in polite company no matter how kinky or liberated they were. It was just good manners never to say or do something which may embarrass others of your family or social group.
Despite the chronic deterioration of manners, respect for people generally and courtesies, I still find an underlying core of people who would prefer to follow this path except for the social pressures placed on them by peer groups.
Even as I grew up, there was an intricate language hidden from those not in the know, such as subtle hints, double meanings, hand and posture signals as well as adaptions to the language of the fans and flowers which would indicate that a "Naughty" evening was planned. Part of the enchantment and excitement in the build up was certainly that the proposed activities were note for public consumption except for the selected few. The pleasure of being involved in something "Naughty" and as such "Forbidden" was immense. Even forays into affairs for the married were accepted as long as they were not make public. Perhaps one of the reasons for this even today is the illicit relationship was and still is far more exciting that just wandering into a brothel or a pick ip bar. It had class, and was not crass. Even the legendary Hellfire Club started by Sir Francis Dashwood, whilst catering for ll sorts of sexual depravity had it's mystiques with the patrons being masked so you believed at least that no one could identify you. For some the modern crass, blatantly open, in your face situations are perfect and they are welcome to them. For me and others like me, we welcome the old ways where mystery and intrigue was part of the enjoyment.
