The degree of complexity in relationship dynamics is exponential in non-monogamy. What that bullshit was trying to say, was that people are complicated, and every time you add one to your life, things get more complicated. One of the most difficult situations in non-monogamy is helping your partner or paramour deal with major life and relationship flux that doesn’t directly involve you.

Soooo, hi guys, it’s Dylan, and I have this problem. Sometimes I want to be up close and personal with someone. I want that full body contact. I want to slide right up next to someone while I’m sliding in and out of someone, I want to kiss them gently, I want my hair in their face and their hair in my face, I want to feel their breath on my neck and I want to feel the weight of my chest pushing against their tits. But. sometimes I want to sit back, stand back, kneel back, and just fucking…

Desire. It’s an emotion, raw and real. It’s a place, warm and inviting, November 7th through the 14th of 2015, we made it our space. We brought 79 (and a half, thanks to the amazing Kendra Holliday) couples to Cancun, to the Riviera Maya, to Mexico, to the Desire Resort & Spa, and we collectively made the resort our own. J.V. Altharas and Shara Bono joined us once again to co-host the trip, run kink demonstration and education events, and all in all… to enjoy and consume everything available in paradise, in the sexiest place on earth.

Many of us are easily attracted to other people, That can lead us to wanting to be with ALL of the people. Swinging lends itself to that pretty well but poly, not so much. Of course, as with anything, abundant swinging can go bad and abundant poly can be amazing. When you do non-monogamy right, abundance comes often and it can feel like a burden, like a curse, even when your problem is an overflow of wonderful people and hot hot sex. You can find Crista Anne at her website and on twitter @pinkness! Support Life on the Swingset by…

Tonight we’re exploring our thoughts on sexual attraction, what it means and why we’re attracted to others, why others may be attracted to us and how that feels, and perhaps most important of all, what makes us feel sexy. We discuss attraction to others; what you’re attracted to, how that changes over time, what draws you in, what to do with that attraction. We ponder what being attracted to types means, we think about generosity and attraction, and we talk about weight loss and self-perception.

A while back, though who knows how long, because memory is fluid, like sexuality, Ginger, the coiner of terms, suggested Sintrovert and Sextrovert as two leading categories of sexually explorative folk. These modified versions of introvert and extrovert help to remove the stigma attached, and suggest that however you embrace your sexuality, you’re on the right page for engaging.
