The Guaranteed Erection
HIM: Earlier this year I received an intriguing note from AJ, a regular reader of our blog: "I enjoyed your most recent post, and am familiar with the performance anxiety issue. Erectile dysfunction is never a problem when alone with my wife, but can rear its head in 'lifestyle' encounters. Traditional oral medications are…
Strong Feelings: My Wife Finds a Girlfriend
HER: The English language does not have an adequate word for that emotional place between 'like' and 'love'. You know, that vast territory between I like my neighbor and I love my husband. Colloquially, we talk about feeling butterflies, crushing on someone, catching feels, or being 'twitterpated' (thanks to Bambi). You and I dealt with the…
Antigua Diaries: More Than Just Sex
HER: Back in February, we wrote an article that started as a review of our sexual bucket lists and ended with a somewhat shocking epiphany. What I wanted most, it turned out, was a girlfriend. A walking-down-the-streets-holding-hands, can't-stop-thinking-about-you-when-we're-apart kind of girlfriend. I had always been turned on by depictions of passionate lesbian relationships in movies,…
Antigua Diaries: A Series of Sixsomes
HIM: I have to start by explaining a little something about myself. I'm an introvert. An unusually outgoing introvert, for sure, but an introvert all the same. Socializing exhausts me.

Friends With (So Many) Benefits
HER: One of the many beautiful things about our social swinger approach to the lifestyle is that we have made 'friends with benefits' all over the world. Last week, we were reminded of just how precious those friendships can be. Him and HerLiam & Kate are a married couple, very much in love, writing honestly…
Should We Tell Our Kids We're Swingers?
HIM: Last week, Belle and Adam of the 'Swinging Outside the Lines' podcast released an amazing episode for their patrons, surely unparalleled in the short (but illustrious) history of lifestyle podcasts. They recorded a 'live reveal', where they informed their 17-year-old daughter of their non-monogamous relationship. It was compelling listening, but also a challenge to…
