Polyamory freaks me out. To be totally honest, I am needy. I require a lot of love and attention from Anne. Lots. Anne and I have discussed polyamory some before. I am uncomfortable sharing her emotionally on that level with someone.

On that first show I believe we hit you with a new term, “compersion”. We didn’t hit on it too much, though we’ll discuss it in future shows, but I think it deserves a short explanation. Cooper described it as “… the opposite of jealousy” in one of his podcast reviews and in the podcast. I understand it as the enjoyment of watching someone you love experience pleasure with someone else.

I realized that I would need to teach myself to orgasm if I was ever going to orgasm with him. After several failed attempts I figured it out, and as some other bloggers have shared, I realized, “Oh—that’s what I was doing when I wore jeans and squeezed my legs together during a boring math class in high school.” Who knew?

Who is the father of lust? Satan – John 8:44

“But the tares are the sons of Satan, the father of lust. Bind the tares and burn them. Cast them into the everlasting fire” – Jesus

People ask us all the time why we got married, if we’re not going to be exclusive. This is probably the question we get asked most often. For both of us, the answer is that we know we want to spend the rest of our lives with each other, regardless of who (or what) else comes up in the interim.

When we decided to give this swinging thing a try, I never realized just how much work it would actually be. I’m not quite sure how I thought we would meet people. I guess I assumed the perfect couple would just show up naked at our door, ready to go. It’s a lot harder than that. (That’s what she said…)

Since we began our swinging adventures I have had a hard time figuring out how to fit this into my already relatively full life. At the very beginning, a few months back, we had dates every weekend sometimes two. Being newer to the lifestyle, they didn’t necessarily lead to actual swinging, but they still took time. Time that I would have normally spent doing something else.
