We found it overwhelming as well until we realized some the wonders of the LS (Lifestyle) for highly sexed married couples like us. If you’re asking how to speed things up - it’s totally friggin awesome that you two are beginning the LS - enjoy your LS newbi’ism, it will pass.
Even before we experienced full swap with another couple we increased our communication level by 1000%. We fantasy fucked for a year while looking for our first experience and when it happened, hours of intimate conversation about the LS helped.
My next suggestion is open yourself to all possibilities. Look for more than FF (female/female) fun with the men watching. When you find the couple of your dreams there’s plenty of time for FF play while the guys watch. In the meantime, stay absolutely wide open to deepening your intimacy in ways you don’t imagine, and tell each other how new experiences are new opportunities to make FWB (Friends With Benefits). We found our SO (significant other) at a birthday party painting faces on our g-kids 8 years ago. Our families b-day turned into a lifetime event by adding a new family member...and we've lived happily every after ever since.
The last thing is stick with it, and stay LS active. Continue thinking and talking about your sex with each other. Continue going to clubs. Continue adding new profile pictures, go to hotel and house parties with "No Expectations” and enjoy your togetherness at those events At some point, you won’t be newbies to other regulars and your newbie cherry will disappear. Your responsibility is to have the right frame of mind, at the right time ,and enjoy the show - life is 10% experience and 90% reaction. Keep it sexy and stick with it.
