John here.
So, Claire had her fun with her lady friend, and I think we all felt really good about it. Claire was really turned on by the experience, and up for more of the same. I loved to hear about it, and was happy for her.
I suppose, from my point of view, that's the most important thing. You can think you'll be cool with your partner seeing someone else, but when it actually comes to it, how do you know? When she went out the door, to go off and have sexy times with another person, I felt excited, happy, and nervous; there wasn't anything negative. I think this finally confirms to me that I am in the right place mentally and emotionally for this. From what I can tell, Claire is too. The important thing for us particularly in the early stages of this, is to keep communicating, make sure that we know how we are both feeling, and make sure we both agree on boundaries in this new frontier.
And we'll be exploring that frontier in earnest tonight, as we have a couple coming over to get it on.
John and Claire are a married couple in their 30s, who have decided after 10 years of marriage to try polyamory/swinging. Claire has long identified as Bi, but has never slept with a woman. John is (mostly) straight, but has never had a one night stand. Will they survive the their attempt to fornicate with all and sundry yet maintain a veneer of middle-class respectability? How does one half of a married couple go about pulling anyway, and how do you schedule babysitting? Let's find out!
