intuition897 2,179 Posted July 18, 2016 So mods, if this doesn't truly fit the category, please feel free to move it. But we've been away from swinging for longer than many people have been married, so going back to it is like being newbies all over again. All the way to the hotel I felt my anxiety building just under my rib cage. I was tense and doubting myself. Did I wear the right outfit? Did I remember to pack everything? Did I miss any spots shaving? I should've cooled it on the carbs for the last week! Oh God, I wonder if I'll remember how to do this. Mr. intuition was pretty relaxed about it (or seemed to be), but I was freaking out ever so slightly. We got to the hotel and got checked in before meeting our friends for dinner. They had booked a room across the hall from us. As soon as they walked through the door, I felt more at ease. Shy (!), but hey I'm pretty rusty at all this flirting stuff. Our new friends were just as personable, open, friendly and easy to talk to as the last time we met. L curled up beside Mr. intuition on the couch in our room, while her hubby, K, settled in beside me on the bed as we talked, catching up on our week. We had already talked about how we tend to be a separate room couple, and they were cool with that. So K and I excused ourselves to the their room while L and Mr. intuition got comfortable in our room. I have to say once we got past the breaking-of-the-ice stage, it was game on. Oh yeah. I remember how to do this. Mr. intuition and I both had an amazing time, and I think our friends did, too. I think we had really great chemistry all around, and it was so much fun to leave our inhibitions at the door and dive into exploring one another. Afer we got ourselves tidied up, we went out for dinner - which was also great - and back again to the hotel for Round 2. One thing has become apparent: I gotta start working out. I am So. Fucking. Sore. I have sore muscles everywhere. Back, stomach, shoulders, neck, arms, thighs, glutes...etc. We drank a LOT of water. Holy hell. So, that's about it. It's late, I'm tired, and I just don't have it in me to spin you all the whole yarn, but suffice it to say that we re-entered the lifestyle in epic fashion, and loved every minute of it. 13 Quote Share this post Link to post

GoldCoCouple 4,068 Posted July 18, 2016 It's a team sport...and sport means training. Don't forget to stretch up before it's 'game on' Great that you were able to make it and that you 'scored'! The best thing about this sport is everyone wins! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
Alura 2,775 Posted July 18, 2016 Congratulations, Intuition! Each time, no matter how rare, the fun is amazing. "Back in the Saddle?" It strikes me you must have provided the saddle for Mr. Playmate to "be back in." 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
intuition897 2,179 Posted July 18, 2016 Can't wait to hear more. Why the long hiatus? Because we're idiots. We let our busyness get in the way, got fat and out of shape, and forgot how to have fun. And yeah, for some reason, I feel all creative and stuff. I may have to do some writing. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

EastInWest 1,524 Posted July 19, 2016 Good for you! I saw your other thread about your frustrations. Life does get in the way of having fun and self-care, and fucking is one of the best forms of self-care there is. It's nice when something happens that gets you centered again. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
Alura 2,775 Posted July 19, 2016 Not if I'm on top. Hmmmm. Interesting point, Intuition. In my youth, I tried to ride an upside-down saddle or two. Those that were on a horse posed a problem. Those that were provided by a woman... well, I just tried to do my best. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
enhancer 1,586 Posted July 19, 2016 Awesome to hear! Sounds like a great experience was had which is what we are all in this for. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
intuition897 2,179 Posted July 19, 2016 Yes, it was a great experience. It's funny. I hadn't thought that they'd be our "type", but chemistry wins again! In the end, it was a combination of their personalities and that subtle je-ne-sais-quoi, the way they spoke, moved, laughed... I don't think we've ever been so comfortable with another couple as these two. And they said they were not usually comfortable enough right off the bat to go to separate rooms, but there was no hesitation here. It may have something to do, too, with how we may have matured and mellowed over the last decade. We just have so much less time for bullshit, and we so appreciate real people. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
enhancer 1,586 Posted July 19, 2016 Agree that chemistry always wins for us as well! Every time. We also agree with the no bullshit and real people only thanks approach. You two are doing this lifestyle thing the right way for more success in the future! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
