Good afternoon everyone. Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

After attending my first swinger's party this past Saturday, I'll list things on what might help you and bring before attending for your first time as well. Feel free to add on things that I've missed as well:

• Converse with the host and a few  guests before the party - This helped tremendously in order to be familiar with people thay are already in the scene and to build a connection with. I was nervous since I had no clue who would be there. So, I messaged the host and a few couples to build some banter and it made my experience even better once we finally met IRL. One couple recognized me, had a great conversation at the party, and we played for a bit before they had to go.

• Bring some water, mints, clothes, and a lubricant - This party I've been to was unique since the host had food, water, plenty of snacks and even mouthwash in the bathrooms. Still have to hydrate your bodies along with freshness for a better time while you play. I brought gum and shared amongst guest who also preferred to chew on gum. It was also a conversation starter as well! Lubricant is a must, especially using a condom. After playing for a while and sweating, an extra pairs of clothes would help as well. I brought an extra shirt since I sweat pretty easily 😅

• Just be yourself  - This statement hold true with every interaction. I was very nervous, even before the party and messaging others. When I arrived and met with the host and everyone else, everything started to gel. Everyone was friendly, we discussed about the weekend, vacations, gardening tomatoes, March Madness, and more. It was a lot of fun!

• Keep in mind that when playtime happens, some have preferences. Some might like to play with you, others would say "No, thanks". Respect their wishes, no means no, and continue to enjoy the party.

That's really all that I have that was crucial for me after attending my first of many parties. I can say that I over packed for sure (energy drinks, nuts, wet wipes, chocolate and sodas 😅) but now moving forward, I know what to pack for the next parties that I will be attending.

I hope this helps for any singles and couples that are contemplating about attending a swinger's party. I was for months until I finally did it and I'm happy I did so.
