First off apologies to anyone looking for a hot story, whilst it is exciting this is more an experience I thought I'd share for people who might benefit.

u/alittleshowy and I have been enjoying the lifestyle now from first beginnings about a year ago. In that time we have had ups and downs. It's been a learning curve, and finally settled with two regulars both of which have become very good friends.

But this week I finally opened up to a non lifestyle friend we could trust. He had joined us and our two thirds for some regular gaming nights and I just thought it easier than hiding to be open. Told him that we'd met the others as swingers (easier than fully explaining)

The results were great. The world didn't explode. The friendship didn't implode. It was just another conversation. And the weight of this secret that I didn't know was there was lifted. Very cathartic! Just feeling of not having to hide what is something that has brought net positive to our lives.

Obviously, do what you need to do to protect your interests. But also it's worth knowing that opening up and, surprise, communicating with people can be a real uplift.
