Um... So... Our entire social circle, incredibly close,, personal friendships, the lifelong and beyond type friendships, are all people through lifestyle. We have no vanilla connections beyond 'school moms, work colleagues etc.
We returned to lifestyle due to inability to connect with vanilla people, and not cause we wanted sex, but that they were too sensitive and immature about sex, seeing it in EVERYTHING making social get togethers very uncomfortable having to tiptoe around them so much, second guessing every word said or joke made.
Playing with strangers with pure NSA dynamic, "friends" just for sexy times, is the exception for us, not the norm.
Hedonistic sexual lifestyle vs swinging lifestyle, seems many here have things confused.
Nothing wrong with hedonistic, nsa fun, as long as all parties consent, honesty and all that, but yeah, thats not what swinging is.
