In this episode you'll hear about a solo adventure that was not only enjoyable, but unusual...at least for me. I'll tell you all about it and reinforce how respecting the dynamics of other couples is important in the lifestyle.

There are plenty of pet peeves I have but one related to the lifestyle is flaky couples. In this episode, I answer a few listener questions and then discuss a baffling situation involving a couple that suddenly changed their minds about meeting Eva and me for a play date.

I often do this podcast with the hope that my stories, rantings, ramblings, and ravings are relatable to others and help them navigate the lifestyle. But the two topics I discuss today left me with more questions than answers.

- Are Eva and I at fault for a miscommunication involving a couple we hoped to see again?

- What should a guy do if he's playing with a woman and he is suddenly met with an uncomfortable surprise?

Our New Years celebration was "neutral." A very enjoyable evening with plenty of disappointment. Also: how something as simple as wearing a fedora could be a catalyst for fun with another couple.

Plus: Evan Swings gets a not-so-great review!

I have some brief updates from previous episodes and then I dive in to what money can't buy in the lifestyle. Spoiler alert: it's confidence.

My fourth episode in a seemingly endless series! Eva and I are kind of shy when it comes to in-person meetings. While some prefer going to clubs and events to meet new couples, we prefer to stick to lifestyle sites and apps to initiate conversations with potential matches. That unfortunately leads to a great deal of unexpected (or maybe I should say expected) interesting and infuriating interactions!

We have had a lot of good luck meeting awesome, compatible couples in the lifestyle. But lately, our luck has been awful. Today's episode is a story about a couple who seemed so perfect for us it was almost too good to be true. We hadn't met any new couples in almost a year so this was a breath of fresh air...that quickly went to crap. This is kind of a sequel to my club story from Episode 56. So feel free to check out that one before giving this one a listen!

Discretion seems to be a very important part of a couple's involvement in the lifestyle. Most couples say their vanilla friends and family are unaware (based on my experience of course). But what happens what happens when a family member discovers the secret...and tells others? In this episode I'll talk about a wild situation involving our son and how we handled it.
