Learning when to slow down, when to step back and when to say “WHEN!”
Even savvy Swingers can’t always avoid drama. In situations when things may not be going exactly as planned, just realizing when to slow down, when to step back and knowing when to say “when” can help keep you from stepping on landmines and getting caught up in some drama.
But, we’re the Accidental Swingers and, as usual, we learned these lessons the hard way.
Three crazy dates in a row
We talk about three back to back dates with different couples that we had over a three week period. We learn the value of trusting your instincts and the importance of sticking to the plan. Unfortunately we didn’t know any better and flubbed our way through some uncomfortable situations!
The first date – A vanilla date with a lifestyle couple turns into a playdate, that, honestly, should have stayed a vanilla date.
The second date – In a moment of weakness, Myrina ignores her inner voice and allows a meet and greet date to turn into a playdate. Consequently, things end up going downhill, fast. We should have stayed at the bar!
The third date – After very successful vanilla and playdates, we run into some drama with the wife of one of the couples that we play with.
This entire three-week period was a real growth experience for us. And we finally understand the bottom line: couples are hard. Drama is not something that swingers look for but the reality is, it will probably happen. We are all human, humans have feelings, feelings get hurt.
Lucky number four
Finally a fun, hot, sexy story to tell!
As always, we talk about what we could have done, we laugh at our mistakes and vow to do better next time!
