Hello!

Wife and I (38m) have been in the lifestyle for about a year now. We both have found partners. Wife had a great experience with her partner, but for me, not so much.

I connected with someone with a likeminded approach and we chatted for a few months. We met and had a vanilla date but the physical attraction just wasn't there for me. I still proceeded to see if perhaps the sex would increase the attraction so we went and had our first play date. I had fun, but her body odor was atrocious. It's to the point where I'm not sure I'd even be interested in being physical again, but personality wise we clicked and had a vibe. But this play date was an "ick" moment...

Would you think it's best to be honest and direct before cutting things off? Or maybe just slowly backing off? I'm not sure how to handle it because I don't want to waste anyone's time, but I also don't want to be a jerk about it or harsh. I'm someone that doesn't like burning bridges...

Anyone have thoughts?
