I’m happy to say after reading hundreds if not thousands of posts on this subreddit, and countless hours of communication and recalibration with my wife, we have found success in the lifestyle. I use the term outgrow because I don’t find myself second guessing every interaction we have, or needing to know what to expect at any given takeover or party.

We began dipping our toes into the lifestyle around summer of 2021, but have only been truly involved for the last six months. The things we learned were invaluable for navigating these new connections and also for our personal growth and understanding of the each other. It’s been a real wild ride but we are having the time of our lives, and we owe it in no small part to the countless redditors and other online personalities who have been so helpful in guiding us. It can be scary to take those first steps but you will never know how to swim unless you get in the water.

We’re forward to finding more fun in 2023. ✌️
