Tips, stories, and insights
Before our first swinger club visit, we sat in the car. Engine running. Neither of us moved to get out. My heart was pounding like I'd downed three espressos. Sarah looked at me: "We can just drive home, you know." I nodded. We stayed put anyway. Ten minutes. Maybe fifteen. Then we finally...
Two out of three adults have had BDSM fantasies. That's not my opinion. A systematic review analyzing multiple population studies found that 65 to 69 percent of people have imagined bondage, being dominated, or taking control at some point.
Two hours on the road. The address in your GPS. Your partner sits beside you, and neither of you is talking. You agreed to do it tonight: your first visit to a swingers club. But now, ten minutes from the parking lot, there's this question: "Do we even know how to behave there?"
I completely messed up my first BDSM attempt. Not because anything bad happened. But because we hadn't talked beforehand. My partner and I both assumed we knew what the other wanted. Spoiler: We didn't.
I watched my partner get ready for a date with someone else. Nice shirt, cologne, that nervous-excited energy. My stomach twisted into a knot. Three years later? I genuinely smile when he comes home glowing from a good evening.
The threesome with two men and one woman is one of the most common fantasies out there. It's also one of the least talked about. Not the act itself. The conversations around it.

I came across a statistic recently that surprised me: 30% of all one night stands turn into longer-term relationships. That's almost a third. So much for "meaningless."
My friend Sarah is 42 and has been with a 28-year-old for three years. When she first told me, I blurted out: "14 years? Wow." She just laughed and said: "That's what I thought at first too." Today, they're engaged.
44% of online daters get targeted by a romance scam. Of those who engage, 74% fall for it. Almost three-quarters. These numbers don't come from some clickbait survey. They're from the Norton Insights Report 2026. And before you think "that would never happen to me" – that's exactly what the other...
Three dates. Good morning texts every day. Plans for the weekend. Then: nothing. No reply. No explanation. Just silence.
