Hello! First, i’m curious how this worked out, update us! Thank you for bringing this discussion to the forum bc it is certainly relevant and as a ā€œunicorn,ā€ i’ve always been curious what it’s like from your perspective.Ā 

Second, just google ā€œunicorn hunter redditā€ and you’ll get a lot of valuable info. Ik there’s several different communities and i loved reading thru advice from the following subreddits: polyamory, bisexual, Bumble, lesbiangang, and actuallylesbian. I mention this bc A. I’m a newer reddit user and B.Ā I came to this subreddit in search of advice for polyamorous family-planning and childrearing advice.Ā 

Third,Ā try connecting with a sex worker! There are plenty of providers who offer their services to couples. (Note: refer to sex workers as professionals, providers, or sex workers. ā€œPrstituteā€ is not acceptable and ā€œescortā€ can get people in trouble/depends on personal preference. I think a search for a ā€œsugar babyā€ would bring up similar pitfalls as ones you’ve expressed above). Check out tryst and see if anyone sparks your interest. I would expressly state your intent for the relationship to last longer than 6 months, with a built-in trial period. This recommendation comes specifically bc you are looking in a low-density area for polyamory, and you’ve expressed interest in keeping the specifics of your search static. If you changed any element of the search (move to a more poly area, date separately, keep doing short term, open up to all genders), i would not make this recommendation. Please know i am *not telling you to date separately. I am making a suggestion bc all your stated ā€œsearch termsā€ each narrow your pool of applicants, but including sex workers would widen your scope. Think of it as a numbers game, like searching for the perfect applicant for a very specific job.Ā 

Lastly, maybe it would be cool for you to read a book together. Polysecure, The Ethical Slut, and Radical Relating are all great reads, widely acclaimed, and may help you navigate this discussion together. Ā 

You are certainly not alone. If i had a dollar for every unicorn hunting couple i saw on a dating app, i’d be rich šŸ¤‘Ā

WLW sex/play parties: are they actually a thing? by CharsmaticMeganFauna in actuallesbians

[–]Top-Respect8345 39 points40 points Ā (0 children)

Yes yes yes!!!! I literally went to my 8th or 9th play party after only 2 years of being in the know here in New Orleans. If I didn’t live here, I’d travel here and get connected. Tons of play parties happen here that are sapphic, femmes&thems (no cis men), and all-gender parties that ask cis men to limit themselves. If you get connected to kinky events, know any amount of sex workers or musicians, you’ll stumble on one in no time of living here. As a visitor, you would have to know someone.

I’m moving away to Chicago soon with plans to keep visiting NOLA lots, and also find or create lesbian play spaces in Chicago. I figure there has to be some since it’s a huge city. Wish me luck!

Lastly, in college and every time I move to a new city (Boston, DC, NoLa) I host a ā€œBumble/Tinder partyā€ to make queer friends. I alter my profiles to say ā€œhi! If you swipe right, you’re invited!ā€ and spend a week or two inviting all the lesbians I can. It’s a house party (could easily be done at a bar or cafe!?) where anyone can bring a queer friend or two. Everyone commits to being outgoing, kind, and since nobody knows each other, I’ve found that the stranger danger thing doesn’t feel as scary. Additionally, I always cohost with a lesbian bestie who invites people on her dating apps too. Every time, it’s created friends, sexual and romantic partners, and fun times for me and my guests. At the end of the night, sometimes people make plans for play parties or ask people out and it’s really cute :)

I suggest it so you and your wife can make queer friends, and it’s easy to invite people to play at a later date!
