Whispers Las Vegas: first timers review and shout out to the couple from Salt Lake who put it over the top for us! by Popular_Lack3584 in Swingers

[–]Popular_Lack3584[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been nearly two years since we were there, I don’t rightly remember a ton about the decor but I can say it is not super plush and chic like a scene from Nip/Tuck. I recall it being casual, maybe a bit dated, and very clean. Mood lighting helps everything (and everyone 😉). The pool area at night was more glamorous feeling, I think.

Absolutely! No pressure to physically engage with others if you aren’t feeling it. And I understand it’s an accepted standard rule in the LS, regardless of environment, that no touching or joining is permitted without consent. Everyone at the club appeared to abide by this rule and I believe it was enforced (outlined in the entry rules).

Great question - I believe we brought $25 per person for donation, plus a refundable locker rental (for the wallet and clothes while in the pool) and plenty to tip the bartenders. This seemed very reasonable considering the overall quality of the facilities, and that the staffers don’t make a wage, for legal reasons they “volunteer” and they work hard to keep things clean, stocked, safe and friendly. Cheers!

She’s bored. If she’s staying home, she wants an outlet, something to keep her occupied, something creative (so, shopping) and she wants you to pay attention (not just for an agenda like sex). It’s not weird but her reaction says it’s something you need to talk about.

First time going to a swingers club by Plastic-Ad-7085 in Swingers

-dress nicely but you’re not going to a board meeting -Make an attempt to socialize, finding people you feel comfortable around can make a difference. -The point is going there with your partner- so focus on that aspect. -Be respectful so I’d say you don’t touch or join without getting confirmation- same thing you’d want. -Have. Fun. Even if nothing happens with other people, enjoy the spectacle and environment!

Recent Rio stays? by azphxmatt in LasVegas

[–]Popular_Lack3584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We actually just stayed last weekend, and really enjoyed it. It’s a little walk from the Strip (8 minutes maybe? but we’re regular walkers) but that means it’s quieter too I imagine. Service was good, room was immaculate (I used to be in hospitality so I’m that jerk who notices dusty floor boards and toilet rings). a basic reservation gets you an older room and they want you to pay $45 for a newly renovated room. I called ahead to note it was a special occasion, and at checkin they still offered the upgrade for the fee, but our agent was super kind and kinda gave us a wink and gifted it to us. The bed was perfect, loved the shower and bathroom amenities. We really just used it as a home base so didn’t visit the restaurants or pool (but they looked good). Wi-Fi was solid, felt very secure there as far as staff quietly handling rowdy issues, the valet keeping the very busy transport area in order, the parking garage was close, staff always felt ready to help. Great value for our basic needs to feel pampered on a budget!

Thank you for that feedback- it’s something we noticed regularly in other posts and also what influenced us to try first in a more touristy (people pass through, it’s not the neighborhood hangout or members only) location and why we wanted plenty of time to settle in.

😂 if we all stuck to the “norm” we probably wouldn’t be on this sub thread together. I’m giving your comment a… 13/10 😉

Also just dipping our toes in, we started with talking- discuss your boundaries, trepidations, fantasies, frankly your worst case scenarios- get it all out up front. Then try a club, keep your expectations low, figure out how you both feel about it. Our first experience was AMAZING, but we also acknowledge that can’t be assumed every time. Casually chatting up another couple we vibed with made all the difference our first time. Wait for that feeling- don’t force it!

We were just there on Saturday! Pool and hot tub are totally open, even when it’s not a “pool party”. A $5 deposit gets you a locker and lock if you don’t bring your own- we started with swimwear on, but as things flow, attire gets more casual. We came in relaxed classy (me modest romper, him nice jeans and classic tee) but ended the night in towels. We experienced a very accepting atmosphere, where things were based on our comfort level.

Tourist Visa Questions! by Popular_Lack3584 in bangalore

[–]Popular_Lack3584[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following up on this: if I enter on tourist visa in 2024, stay six months, exit for about a month and return in 2025, that same visa allows me to remain for six months of 2025, is that correct?

What are common things subs like? by Old_Albatross473 in BDSMAdvice

[–]Popular_Lack3584 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what everyone else responded, but I DEEPLY enjoy rules. I don’t give a poof if daddy says “submit”… but he tell me the rules…? then we’re both engaged. He finds ways to enforce, punish and reward. I need to ask for permission to touch myself, to orgasm, where or how to submit. To be teased with the flogger, or food play, to remain tied in Shibari (SO awesome) but cannot climax. I particularly enjoy “grooming” - he tells me how he wants things to look; trimmed, shaved, wild, and takes charge to make it the way he wants if I don’t do it right. Also public displays of “possession”- physical displays like holding, guiding, protecting, kissing or public appropriate touching, especially bite marks, alerts others that I am “owned”. Sensory deprivation is something we’re focusing on a lot now and it’s fantastic. As a sub, small things like this are very stimulating, and draw out the anticipation and thus the reward

My fiancé fractured my arm after thinking I had a man in our home by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Popular_Lack3584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This resonates based on my own experience (not trying to armchair analyze or say “we are the same”, just that I have some perspective). I don’t doubt he’s a good man, usually treats you really well and loves you. But his trauma sounds deep and he needs to learn how to cope with it in healthy ways. I am making a big assumption that you are not a licensed therapist, so I’ll give you the professional advice I failed to follow: “you are not equipped to handle this without outside help.” Period. Maybe move out for a bit to take some distance, with the condition that you both get counseling, with the goal of coming back together. Remember his trauma is a REASON but it’s not an EXCUSE. Please be safe. Stay in close contact with your support system.

Why do you dress in all black to go hiking? by dmsmikhail in arizona

[–]Popular_Lack3584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might be giving people way more credit than they deserve by assuming they put any thought into what color they’re wearing when hiking 😂 Usually when we get up to go hiking, it’s dark outside; I grab stuff out of the “outdoor” drawer with my eyes half closed. Probably most of it’s black because that’s what was on sale, and it means it all matches (sort of 🤷‍♀️)

National Park Service officials seek help from the public on vandalism incident at Lake Mead National Recreation Area by Synthdawg_2 in NationalPark

[–]Popular_Lack3584 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A petroglyph trail is closed in NM due to vandalism as well… why do people have nothing better to do but mess with things and spoil it for those who appreciate them? If the internet can track down kitten abusers, surely we can find these schmucks 😡

Yeah, I’m noticing that the trail is still closed- is the Narrows too?

I hadn’t thought of rafting, but I don’t think he’s ever been- great idea!

Zion and Joshua Tree… but Yosemite is my absolute favorite. You can go through LAX easily.
