[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We wanted to push beyond the traditional and decided to not go “open” but instead moved to being with other like minded couples. It took a long time to find a couple we were both interested in but once we did it was a very good experience. Over a ten year period we were with four other couples but then we sort of aged out for a variety of reasons. It was a great experience for us but I know it’s not for everyone. Neither of us wanted an open marriage for a long list of reasons nor did we want to join any groups. [/quote]

So did you guys 'play' as a couple with other couples or one on one with the couple in separate rooms etc. Very curious about this set up. [/quote]

Initially it was in separate rooms but we both wondered what was going on in the other room. Eventually we’d be in the same room and sometimes all together but just M/F so I might be with my husband and the other man on the same night. One couple only wanted separate rooms which was fine with us because they were both very good. We stopped about eight years ago and our married sex life continues to be very good. I’m glad we did it but I’m also glad it’s in our past given the risk we were taking with our relationship. [/quote]

Did you or your husband ever start to get emotionally attached to the other people? If so, how did you deal with it? We’ve been married 17 years and our sex life, while frequent, has become predictable and I do wonder after all of these what it would be like to be with someone new but I have no desire for either an affair or an open marriage. I can’t even imagine starting the conversation with my husband about being with another couple. [/quote]

I’d like to say no but there were times when both of us had concerns and that is what led to us breaking it off with a couple. I think the concerns were more sexual than emotional. [/quote]

Was that because the sex was better than with your spouse? [/quote]

Easy answer is yes as it happened for both of us. But we actually got better ourselves based on the experience but it was one of the reasons we stopped. [/quote]
