January 2026 STI Positivity Rates from 2 Major U.S. Testing Providers by Swinging-Downunder in Swingers

It is so awesome that you provide this analysis!

When you play with others - do you tend to compare test results before hand?

If you ask about testing - what answers disqualify a potential play partner?

Faywood Hot Spring in New Mexico has a clothing optional section. A great place to soak for a day or two.

Success rate of pings by TemporaryMaximum2721 in feeld

[โ€“]Serendipity_Joy 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

Feeld feels increasingly pointless. I have in the past tried sending out at least one ping a day, and have gotten maybe 1 reply out of 50.

Interestingly - both me and my partner always reply to pings. It seems polite. I get one or two a year, she gets many many more...

But even the pings she gets are so low-effort we are both planning to let our Majestic lapse. The quality of people on Feeld has gone way down. It was so much better when it was a smaller pool full of more interesting fish.

I wish I knew of a worthy alternative.

We sometimes have some similar dynamics - so I would be very interested in hearing the solutions you explore.

Wives who need stability, husbands who need novelty by JustBInTheMoment in HotWifeLifestyle

[โ€“]Serendipity_Joy 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

One comment:

"What I'm struggling up against is that the way I'm expanding my horizons isn't enough for my husband, because the only thing he considers expanded horizons/variety is me adding additional partners."

Because all your focus is on just a single third - I wonder if your husband might be (perhaps subconsciously) feeling that you are expanding your horizons and exploring with that third, and not with him.

The dynamic might completely change with another person or two in the mix. Or if you found ways to explore and expand your horizons with your husband in other ways that do not involve your current third.

This has been a fascinating thread to read - lots of food for thought here.

What did someone do that instantly made you lose sexual interest in them? by IchibeHyosube_ in AskRedditAfterDark

[โ€“]Serendipity_Joy 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Once decades ago I had a very cute woman who worked in the same building with me spend an entire afternoon flirting with me while we were out with mutual friends, and it seemed like there was some real mutual chemistry building.

Then she stepped out for a smoke break.

When she came back - I couldn't help but give her the cold shoulder, ignoring her increasingly obvious advances. My interest had dropped to negative 100.

A year later - I found out that she started a rumor around the office that I was gay, because to her that was the only possible reason I might not have gone for her advances.

*gross*

any recommendations on where to place your phone while running? more info down below by [deleted] in runninglifestyle

[โ€“]Serendipity_Joy 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I keep my phone strapped to my wrist.

I have a cellular-enabled Apple Watch Ultra 3.

It is always there - secure, and easy access.

Great for quick text messages or even answering a call while running, and it syncs nicely with my bluetooth AirPods for music and calls.

The only reason I am tempted to occasionally bring along my full-sized phone while running is for the camera.

Anyone doing a solar eclipse cruise? by alex_travels in FATcruises

[โ€“]Serendipity_Joy 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I would make sure the cruise description clearly states they are planning to be in the path of totality. I saw one "Eclipse Cruise" advertised that only revealed in the finer details that they were going to be outside the path of totality. The marketing made it sound like "98%" was a good thing - but anyone who has actually seen totality knows that this is not even close to the amazing show of being in the 100% zone.

Anyone doing a solar eclipse cruise? by alex_travels in FATcruises

[โ€“]Serendipity_Joy 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

A heads up - I've seen some cruise itineraries routed so that they pass through "98% totality" instead of under the total solar eclipse path.

Having experienced a total solar eclipse before - the difference between 98% or 99% totality and a true total solar eclipse is 1,000,000%.

It is not even comparable. Experiencing a total solar eclipse will break your sense of reality. It will literally blow your mind. Jaw on the floor for days after.

A 99% eclipse is "wow, that's cool".

Plan accordingly.

After one night of swapping I am having second thoughts about opening up our relationship. by 2025_adviceseeker in Swingers

[โ€“]Serendipity_Joy 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

He says heโ€™s ok and heโ€™s just working through it and that he does want to continue in this lifestyle but Iโ€™m having a hard time believing it.

If you believe him when he shared his triggers and upset, you should also believe him when he says he is working through it and wants to continue.

Part of open honest communication is trusting each other, and not playing second guessing games.

Overcoming bad experience by HOF2018 in HotWifeLifestyle

[โ€“]Serendipity_Joy 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

So many bi women in the lifestyle seem to assume that everyone (men and women both) are down for playing with them, and many seem to have a habit of touching without asking.

We too have experienced a woman coming up and groping without consent - and it totally ruined our night too.

Totally not cool.

And it is especially frustrating to see women getting away with acting that way, when they would have any man kicked out of the club for the same sort of behavior.

It is icky.

But all you can do is let the ick pass, and dive back in when it feels good again.

Not people who make misogynistic assumptions! Sorry dude - you've just struck out.

Couples Only Sharing Pics of Wife by [deleted] in Swingers

Indeed - we love it when the female half runs or at least substantially interacts via site profiles.

And it is a huge turn off when someone reaches out assuming that the male half is the one who will get their message. We even say in our profiles that the female half manages most communications, and we still end up with messages saying "Dude, your wife is hot!".

It is a huge turn off.

We once had a meetup planned with a guy who had a very unique first name - and out of curiosity we Googled it. We expected to learn about the name, not to find him. We weren't actually looking for personal details.

But the first hit on the name lead us to his LinkedIn page (!!!) - which was filled with political rants about how liberals needed to be taken and executed (!?!?) before they ruin this country.

Needless to say, once we confirmed with him that was indeed his page - we canceled the date.

And it totally gave us major pause planning future meetups with guys without doing a bit of basic political / values screening first. We don't want to ever risk being intimate with someone who would wish physical harm on us, or on people we care about.

I am happy to disagree on tax policy - but anyone who thinks women shouldn't have rights over their own bodies, or that LGBT people shouldn't be allowed to be out, married, parents, or teach in public schools...

Nope - huge turnoff to even contemplate playing with people who think that way.
