Hubs (39m, straight) and I(35f, bi) have been swinging for about half a year now. We've had some really good experiences along the way and also some road bumps. So far we've been on dates with other couples (4 people), at swinger clubs and a kinky rave. So far our playstyle has been same room, same bed, full swap if the attraction is right, condoms and actually rather vanilla sex. We've never done a threesome. Occasional bi play for the women, but only kind of foreplay, which I'm beginning to get disappointed with (I'd love a more extended session with a woman). Our rules are no anal, no degradation or cuckolding, condoms for piv. We're really comfortable with these rules, there's never been an issue about them along the way.

Next weekend, we are invited to our first private party. There will be 12 couples, mostly 30-42 years old. In a rented penthouse apartment ona different city. Some of them already know each other. We know the host perosnally and have been chatting a bit with some couples. I think there's going to be two other bi women, most of the others have bi-curious on their profile, some are hetero. The thing is, we're wondering whether such an event might be a good and safe place for us to try new things. What's your opinion, experienced party-goers? Of course, we will talk this through the two of us, but I'd like to hear some of your stories and perspectives about the vibe we can expect at parties this size.

Specifically: * I expect most will be dtf and there will be group play happening with 4 people? * Will the people that already know each other stick to themselves? * I'd love to be "poached", i.e. join a couple for a threesome without my husband. This to try whether I like the threesome dynamics. Also I'd like to try playing a bit more independently from my husband, just to try out a different side of myself. I feel such a party would be a safe place for that, since we'll be under the same roof still. * Maybe it's my sleep deprived mind speaking, but I'd love a threesome with two male strangers 🫣

So I guess my question at the core is whether such a party is a good place to safely try some new things and expand on our usual boundaries. TYIA
