My wife and I have been to a handful of clubs and have met people on different sites, but nothing ever happened. I was beginning to think that it never would.

We went to Italy in September and had a wonderful vanilla vacation. That vacation was mostly for her; it's been on her bucket list since she was a teenager.

She told me I got to pick the next vacation. I wanted something that would be more all inclusive, so I thought maybe a resort or cruise. Then I thought, "Why not a lifestyle resort or cruise?"

We've been listening to the 4ourplay podcast for a while now, and I attribute their energy and attitude toward the lifestyle to be a big reason that my wife was willing to give this a try.

Anyway, my wife agreed to go on the Bliss Cruise in April 2024. We got all the things we needed for the different themed nights and talked constantly about our boundaries and what we were interested in.

The first night was Barbie and Ken night, and we met the sweetest couple. We exchanged cards with our room numbers and parts ways after a pleasant conversation.

I asked my wife what she thought of them, and she said if they were into it, she would also be interested.

The next night, after dancing a bit of dancing in the club, we decided to head up to karaoke (that's our jam). We'll, that couple we met the night before came up there to find us, knowing how much we live to sing. They hung out with us all night and afterwards invited us back to their cabin.

I have to say, watching my wife with him and hearing her moans and screams of pleasure was one of the most amazing things for me. And the reclamation sex was equally exquisite.

We also managed to find another couple just two nights later in the same karaoke lounge. The husband approached me while I was getting us some drinks. Once my wife came over and heard his accent (she has a weakness for foreign accents), it was all over. We ended up back at their room and had another wonderful night.

Now we're already talking about booking for next year and maybe trying a hotel takeover. I guess this journey has begun. I want to thank everyone here for sharing their knowledge and insight. It's helped a lot with understanding how to get started and making sure to communicate with each other throughout.
