People are different. We know this. I get why some set it as a rule not to play on the first "date." It's not a transfer over of "vanilla" dating etiquette whereby a lady may feel cheap getting into bed too early. Even though the lifestyle is predicated on random and immediate, meaningless sex in a celebration of hedonism, and liberal attitudes concerning morality, there are still some folks who cannot be fully stimulated right away. "Demisexual" is the term for it, I believe.
The way I was raised, sex is always a big deal. I wouldn't have it any other way, treating it too casually. The time I seduced my editor was sort of a first date, and it still feels weird that she died around this time only a year ago. The older married couple who introduced me to swinging took my lifestyle "virginity" on our first meeting when I accepted their invitation into their home. I'd never been with a married woman before, compromising my morals so drastically. And despite their years of lifestyle experience, we all treated our sexual encounters as having special significance each and every time. I see it as an honor and a privilege to be able to fuck the lovely wives of other men. It's a big deal. I'm sure that my retaining a portion of the perspective that it's all so shameful and indecent spikes the thrill for me. All of that being said, I still banish all expectations when meeting a couple for the first time. I cultivate that respect for them, and it works out that, if the chemistry isn't favorable, I don't succumb to deep disappointment.
