Talking Tuesday. We're Dan and Lacey. Dan and Lacey. Woo! Whoa. That's a little extra there. Yeah. Are you ready for this week's question? I am. Let's go to the phone line. Hey, Dan and Lacey. This is Travel Couple. We are from Georgia. Just got a quick question for your Tuesday Talks, I hope. We are been in the lifestyle about a year, maybe a year in the Took a few months, been to a few clubs, had some fun, been around for the hookup, but did, you know, some entertaining, I guess, just me and her. We've been predominantly a hot wife couple. She's had, you know, four or five experiences, been great, have loved them all. We are currently, you know, trying to transition over into, you know, some swaps and meeting some other couples. The question really is, for her, She really likes the idea and she thinks it'd be hot, but she's not 100% sure on how she would handle, you know, seeing me with another person or another female rather. And just the question is how would, you know, how does she go about dealing with that and coping with that? You know, she just, she thinks it'd be hot, but, and she thinks she'd love to see it, but she's just not sure how she would react. So your thoughts. We appreciate it. Love your show. Thank you, guys. Great question. Great question. So they've been in the lifestyle for a while. Sounds like they started with just same room, like doing stuff in playrooms and stuff where people could watch just the two of them. And now they've kind of transitioned to some hot wife experiences. And now they're looking to transition to full swap. Yeah. But his wife seems hesitant because She's not sure how she will react when seeing him do the deed. Yeah. I think this is a great question, not only for somebody in this situation, but for anybody that is thinking about joining the lifestyle. Seeing your partner with someone else is a little scary. You don't know how you'll react. So when choosing a question, I thought this was a good one because I feel like we get a lot of newbies listening to the podcast. So I think this will be a good one for them. I agree. Yeah, I think that's a huge fear for a lot of people. I think a lot of people think the fantasy of swinging and swapping is hot. But I think there's fear and anxiety and maybe fear around jealousy. Yeah. And fear that if, you know, once you actually engage in the act, you might want to fight a bitch. Yeah, true. Been there, done that. Not done that. I haven't wanted to fight. but I felt like I wanted to. And the truth is we are ultimately in control of our emotions. There have been times where I've said yes to something and then it affected me more than I anticipated. And I've had to control myself, especially depending on where you are. If you're in a playroom with a bunch of people, you don't want to act up, you know, especially if you consented to it. If you said, yes, honey, go and do this thing or vice versa, and then that thing is being done, so no one's doing anything wrong, you just don't feel real good about it. You have to, like, make sure that you handle yourself appropriately. So I think having some self-control is definitely important in this case. You're going to have to know going in that this is going to happen, and even if I'm not okay with it, then, you know, we can talk about it. it, but I'm not going to like... Show my ass. I'm not going to show my ass. I'm not going to fight a bitch. I'm not going to, you know, do all the things. I will say, though, that there is a lot of steps before you get there. I think a lot of people think you join the lifestyle and you're like, okay, we're full swapping tonight. This is it. We're going to full swap, you know? Like you walk into a swingers club and immediately your dick or vagina has to go to a... Or that night, you know what I mean? But like you kind of like make that determination It does not have to happen that way. Does it happen like that sometimes? Yes. But honestly, if I had to give you my advice, it's to not do that. Lots of people have done it, have been successful, have been in the last cell for 20 years, have great experiences. But to me, if it's my marriage and my relationship, my future with my partner, I wouldn't want to jeopardize that. It's just too big of a risk. You're not a fan of the sink or swim method. I'm not. I mean, does it work for some people? Yes. But it seems very scary to me. I'm kind of like baby step your way into it. And somebody else could give you this advice completely different. They should just say, just rip that bandit off. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't. I'm the opposite. I say if your wife is open to you playing with someone else, like in this case, maybe let's slowly get there. You know, she's a hot wife couple, so you could still be going and doing things. But maybe you just entertain the idea of dancing with someone. Right. And let her see how that feels. And it might take her a little bit to warm up. It might be at first. But she might be like, oh, that was hot. And then maybe the next time you kiss. Or let's say if you go for a weekend, maybe Friday night you dance, Saturday night you kiss. And then maybe the next time you go, maybe a sauce swap. My point is, I mean, you can baby step your way. It could be a year. It could be six months. It could be three nights, whatever that baby step looks like for you. For me, I just think that is an easier way to know if you're comfortable because you can always pull back at a dance. You know, if you start dancing with somebody and you are irate, well, then maybe this isn't for you. Or if you watch your husband kiss someone and it does something to you that you can't Yeah, then maybe they don't need to sleep with that person. So that's kind of my point. It's easier to pull back when they're just baby steps than it's like full-on penetration and you're having a panic attack. No, I think that's great advice. Now, I'm curious, and this is a little spinoff here, but we hear a lot about couples that engage in what we call the one-penis policy where the husband is allowed to fuck multiple women, but the husband won't let the wife have sex with other men. Which is not with this couple. But this is almost the reverse of that, right? Yeah, it's a reverse. So she's a hot wife, but she's hesitant to, I don't want to say allow, but she's hesitant for her husband to engage with other women. Well, and when I read the question, when we heard it, I almost thought, well, why doesn't he give her advice on how he felt when he watched her with another man the first time? Because if anybody knows their love, it's probably him more so than strangers on a podcast. Right. No, I agree. I agree with that. But what I'm saying is how do you feel about the wife maybe saying like, yeah, I'm okay with me being a hot wife, but I don't feel comfortable with it. I don't feel like that's fair. But I'm also not in everybody's marriage. I know we say we don't judge someone's, whatever you call it, what is it, somebody's young. But I do judge a little. I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I'm not judging you. I think if you have, strict boundaries like you can fuck someone, but they can't or vice versa, regardless of if it's the husband can fuck or the wife. I just think that feels icky. And I personally don't want to be a part of it. Yeah. But to each their own, if that is, if it's a loving, happy relationship and that's what worked for you, who am I to judge? Yeah. I think I have mixed feelings. Like you said, I think if they are truly a hot wife couple where both the husband and wife get off to her fucking other guys and the husband has zero interest in fucking other girls, he just wants to see his wife get fucked. That's one thing. I think that's a completely normal dynamic and you see a lot of it and I think that can be healthy and a good relationship but if you have a couple that's a hot wife couple but only by default and he secretly wants to engage but either isn't allowed to or you know whatever the case may be I think that's kind of a dangerous a slippery slope it's not really a yeah to me it's not really a healthy way to engage in the lifestyle and the truth is is you may not realize it but other people see that they see that that husband wants to fuck women or that woman wants to fuck me We can tell But we're just not going to tell you how to handle your relationship We're just going to sit back and let let that So I think in this case my advice might be we'll dig deeper What is that reason? You know Is it maybe there was infidelity in the past and that's why she's hesitant? Right? Maybe he did something You know And I'm not I don't know this couple at all I'm just making this up But it could be that there's trauma there somewhere And so you know the reason that she's allowed to and he's not is because maybe he fucked up in the past And so they can't work. They're working on working their way through that. And I think it's okay if that's what happened. For sure. And that's what they're doing. I think the key to all of this is communication. And I think explaining those feelings to each other. I think it would be hot. But because of what happened a couple of years ago, I'm a little hesitant to trust you with that. Maybe what are some ways we can do that? And maybe like what you said, well, maybe we can start with just soft swapping with other couples and me still hot wifing. Maybe you can work your way into it, and then once you have some of those experiences and you realize, hey, that was fun and it was hot to see that, and my husband didn't run away with this other girl, you can kind of baby step your way into that. We've seen several couples in the lifestyle that have started as a hot wife dynamic, and when they started that dynamic, the wife was even like, there's no fucking way I'm going to ever let you sleep with another woman. I would cut that bitch. Enter Daphne and Mike. That's a perfect example, and I wasn't going to say their name, but you did. Oh, sorry. No, it's okay. And then once they start having experiences, the wife is like, oh, wait a minute. I slept with that guy. I don't love him. My husband still loves me. We still have a great sex life. If anything, it's enhanced our sex life. It's enhanced our communication. And it just kind of slowly they open up to more and more possibilities. So it sounds like maybe that's the direction that this couple is heading in. And I think what you gave is, you know, that slow approach. Well, you know, try dancing with somebody, try kissing somebody, you know, try soft swapping with somebody. and then, you know, work your way up to the full swap so that, you know, there's not maybe as much of a shock factor the first time. And if there are bad feelings or emotions, you can kind of back away from them without it being too traumatic. I think that's the perfect advice. And I would even say, dig a little deeper there, what is it that, why does she think she might not be okay with it? Is there trauma there? Are there insecurities there? Are there jealousy there? Does she not feel beautiful? Does she not, you know, is she comparing herself to other women and she doesn't want to have to compete with them. I think there's probably something deeper there that you guys could work on as a couple or she could work on herself. You know, there's something else there. Mm-hmm. I was gonna, okay, so we don't have a whole lot of, we've, this hasn't been super long. So let me, I want to tell this story. We haven't told it in a long time. It'll be super quick. But it kind of relates to this. So when, during COVID, when everything was shut down, Dan and I were same room, full swap couple. And I thought it'd be hard for him to go fuck, this girl who was local to us without me there. And this is a couple, she was a married female, who I had engaged with before me and Lacey met. Yeah. So I had a little bit of a history with her. So we, you know, like while we were having sex, you know, it was like, oh my God, it'd be so hot if you went over there and fuck the shit everywhere. Her husband watched and then came back to me. So we, you know, it was like a thing we were doing. We were dirty talking about it. And finally I was like, I really want you to do that. And he was like, absolutely not. For a while, this was not a quick decision. This was something that definitely was planned out, thought out. Probably weeks, yeah. Yeah, and I really was like, you know, it's COVID. Everything's shut down. You know, we've been in the lifestyle for so long. Of course, this is pre-podcast, but I'm like, you know, we've got this shit down. I can do this. I know I can do this. And after some negotiation, you finally agreed to go do it. Well, I said to you, I'm not, if we're going to do this, if I message her and get her, What I said is I don't want to message her and say I'm going to come over or whatever and then you change your mind and then basically have to like undo what you just said. So I'm like if we're doing this we're doing this. So I'm like we're doing it. We're doing it. So he messaged us a girl and as soon as he does like my heart drops in my stomach. I'm like what did I just do? I was like inside I was like I fucked up. You know bad. But I did not. I had agreed. I said, this is what I want to do. Even after you had messaged her and you said you weren't going to back out, you even gave me quite a few outs. You were like, I can change my mind. I can tell her I got COVID. Yeah, I got sick. We could come up with something. So like you were even going back. On my own agreement, yeah. I think he knew, even though I wasn't saying the words, he knew my body language, he knew I wasn't like, okay. But I was like, nope, we said to go do this. And so he goes. As soon as he walks out the door, I'm boohooing. I held it in until he walked out the door. I had agreed to this, and I was sticking by what I said. He goes out the door. He goes to leave. He stops at the gas station. He buys a Red Bull and a pack of condoms, sends me the picture of it, which just devastates me more. He had good intentions. I sent you the condoms because I wanted to show you because I don't think we had any at the time or whatever. I'm being responsible. With all the energy that you I didn't even think of. I just took a picture of like the bag where the condoms were and it just happens to be an energy drink. So anyway, he goes, I'm pretty devastated. I'm not going to lie. But I try really hard. You know, I could have blown up his phone. I could have made his experience really bad. But I, like I said in the beginning, I had control over my emotions. You know, even though I was devastated, I was so sad that I had like basically put us in this position. I was just going to let him go. I took a bath. I tried to do all the things. He came home. I was like, just go put your clothes in the washer. I was just like. You were mad. I was mad. Like, stay the fuck away from me. Go shower off. I'm like, I'm not okay. Put your clothes in the laundry. And he did. We made up very quickly. I mean, we fucked like within an hour of him walking through the door. It was good sex, too. And it was a huge learning experience for you and I. It could have been a knock-down, drag-out fight. I mean, like, I really wanted it to be, truthfully. But I knew that I had signed up for this. I had agreed. I had said this is what I wanted to do. And so once I made that commitment, I had to control my behavior, control my emotions. I didn't control them in the privacy of my own home once you left. And that was really hard for me. And so in the beginning when I said, I know this story doesn't really have anything to do with playing. I just kind of wanted it. I felt like it was a good opportunity. We haven't told this story in a long time. It's a good opportunity. to talk about when some things might happen that we are not like super happy about but we consented and we are okay and you know guess what you know what we don't do now we don't play separate and that was like five years ago because of that we learned very quickly that that's just not something that we're into and it just didn't work for us and we crossed that off the list and we moved on and you never know if you um if he goes and has sex with a woman and maybe that's just not something that he might not like. You just don't know. It's okay to try something and it not work and come back and talk about it and say, you know, that really wasn't our dynamic. I didn't really enjoy myself because I was thinking about you at home or whatever. You know, I mean, there's just so many different responses to whatever the scenario is. So I just think it's important to try things, see how they go. It doesn't have to be the end of the world, even though it might feel like it in that very moment. Agreed. That's all I got. Well, I was going to say, do you think there was insecurity? Like what do you, why do you think you were triggered? Oh, for sure. Yeah. And do you think you're, you know, I agree it's probably not our dynamic, but do you think you've, you think we would be better at that today than we were five years ago? Yes. Yeah. But I think I've also like learned a lot about myself. I would also do it differently. Like I wouldn't be sitting at home watching my phone. You know, I would maybe schedule something at the same time. So we both go, So we're both entertained at the same time. I'm not sitting waiting for my phone or worried. Do you have a desire to do that, though? Not really. Would I entertain it? Yeah. Would I ever do it? Maybe. But it's not something that I'm like, ooh, let's go on the internet and find me somebody to go to their house and hook up. That's just not. But I do think that if the right scenario and the right situation came up, that I would possibly do it. Yeah, I agree. I agree with that, yeah. Is that how you feel? No, yeah. I have no desire to play separately. No. And I didn't then either. Yeah. But it was very much your desire. It was. And so we tried to fulfill your fantasy and it didn't work. And so when you were like, it didn't work for me, I was like, well, fine. It wasn't really what I wanted anyway. Not to say it wasn't fun for me, but it wasn't. Like, I could almost see, like, if we're, like, on a cruise and we meet, like, two different couples, like, I go in one room and you go in the other and then we immediately come back and have, like, get back together. Like, something like that would probably, you know, We've done some of that bunk bed stuff. That was fun. Yeah, something like that. I would probably entertain more than like going on like a date and being alone with someone. But yeah. Agreed. All right. Well, I hope that answers your question. I think it's a great question. I think a lot of us are struggling with those type of answers. You know what I mean? Well, and I think it's fluid. It's changes to based on what your dynamic and your thing about the lifestyle is so cool. It can change every day and you can experience new things.
