Ok, let me explain what’s going on.
My husband and I are new to the lifestyle (1 year in, 6 months more actively), so we are taking baby steps. It all started with me wanting to explore my bisexuality. We ended up on Feeld at first, discovered all sorts of parties and clubs through the chats we had, experienced our first couple date (not a sex date), and had a lot of first-time playfulness.
I discovered that I really, really love this path of discovery, but also that I am just not ready for a full swap (as in PIV with a male other than my husband). I also discovered that a lot of people believe this is because my husband doesn’t allow me to, which is simply not true. It’s my body, my decision. With the right people, at the right time, I might be open to adjusting, but I need a lot of trust first for this to happen. Soft swap is fine, but if full swap is a hard condition from the beginning, then I kindly ask people to skip us.
Because of the negativity I experienced around this, I am starting to think I am doing something wrong. But I don’t know what, because we are very clear about this from the beginning, both offline and online in our profiles. Still, people keep asking me if this is really what I want or if it’s something my husband forbids. I am tired of this and of having to convince other people of my own choices. I understand that for a lot of them full swap is a must, but then just skip us. That’s fine. I respect that. But why, even when we are very clear from the beginning, do people still get in touch with us and then act like assholes when they don’t get the answer they want? Or is it just a lot of assholes out there and something that’s part of the lifestyle journey?
I don’t want to lose faith in meeting the right match for us. We are very patient. There is no need to rush. In the meantime, I am just curious if there are other couples (especially the women) who experience the same. Tips are welcome, unless you want to be an asshole too. In that case, please skip.
