We are experienced with the lifestyle and have explored all the basics other than being at a lifestyle friendly club/party. We are planning to visit Sapphire soon and are very excited about it but want to learn from your experiences and if you have any tips or suggestions. We are also planning to join Saphire's next 101 and the newbie night.

1. We normally meet couples in no expectations setup over drinks to connect and see the chemistry and all this could be done in Sapphire's socializing area but where/how do you bring the topic of testing and safe sex at places like this?
2. We also read and heard that if you do not go with couples you know you won't have a good chance of meeting people. We won't consider ourselves social butterflies but are not introverts either. How true is this in your experience?
3. Are all the nights at Sapphire event nights? We want to go on a less crowded night to get a feel of the layout.

We would appreciate hearing about your experiences and if you have any suggestions and tips for us.
