  • Finally together again

    Monday morning and I am still tired.  Lilly was here since Thursday evening.  She flew in after a slight delay with the plane being late.  It was an odd feeling going to the airport and not being the one travelling.  Seems that I have travelled more in the past year then the past 10 years.…

  • The bug

    Being sick is not fun.  More so if you are trying to keep your partner from getting sick.  The “no contact” that you try to ensure during the illness takes a lot of effort.  More so if you have multiple friends that you see.  The hardest thing is that if you see them less often,…

    Open relationship is very different then swinging.  Primarily open relationships is usually alone play and swinging is a group.  The differences in emotions along with the experience can make it difficult for some couples.  For our relationship we started a bit backwards.  We explored the open relationship and then transitioned to swinging based on circumstance.

  • One year – how things have changed

    Well after a year I have learned a lot about myself. More from writing and reflecting on myself. Along with discussions with like minded people I think I know more about what I am like. And finding out what I don’t want to become again.  

  • Inner circles

    One thing that I have found interesting is the amount of relationships that you can build in the lifestyle.  The interaction and how everyone knows each other fascinates me.  This also means that there are potentially more risk.  Open communication is so important, more so with multiple partners.

This time it is Lexxi’s turn and Bob had made arrangements for some of their friends to come over to celebrate it. Krystalla informed me that they were friends they have met through different…

  • Don’t expect it

    I would like to thank one of my followers for this suggestion from my contact page.  It is a point that I have touched on a few times over the year but really never dwell on it to much.  Communication is very important as I mentioned numerous times, but setting expectations is something that also…
