We are in the life style for 6 years, and we had breaks before, which were mainly because of circumstances like covid or other life challenges that prevented us from playing. We had a break when she needed it, and I felt worry that may be it’s the end of the LS. However, this time we have a break that feels very mutual, following an intensive period of playing in the LS, and I feel it is a blessing. There is a constant buzz when we play, and when you stop there is a sudden quiet, which I see as a healthy space to focus on us and on yourself. I also feel that I don’t care whether we gone play again or not (most likely we will as it an addictive LS for us). From sex perspective I feel that its really nice not to involve any one in our bedroom from mental perspective, as its all about us. In a way I see the break as a big reclaiming episode, when my wife is all mine again, and I like it.
