Hey all! Hope everyone is having a good day. I’ll get straight to my questions:

1) has anyone had any experience with going into swinging but grew up religious/conservative and how was your experience going into this? I know myself, that i want to explore, that i have a high libido, so does my partner. He’s dabbled in swinging before. I haven’t. I grew up conservative AND religious and had not even thought i’d be asking this question and looking into this. Its something i’m curious (that my partner def wants to do) but there is a part of my old self that is..almost fearful? Nervous, afraid..because of how i grew up, eventhough i’ve set aside most of my religious/conservative tendencies

2) Herpes I got diagnosed with herpes (likely from my current partner). So, we’re a couple carrying the herpes virus. Has anyone had any experience with this? Being a HSV positive couple but swinging? How do you talk about it with other couples? Where do you even look for play partners?

Thanks a lot for any advice and help!
