We have been together for over six years, and married for almost two. The swinging lifestyle has almost always appealed to us, though we have been active on and off over the years. We have had a lot of fun experiences, a few strange ones, and through each one our relationship has become much stronger as a result. We are very laid back people and own our own business together, which has given us a kind of freedom that is perfect for our peralities. As for us individually? I (wife) am a definite nerd, love video games (Nintendo and Steam for life), knitting, music, baking/cooking, fishing and all things science and space! Small in stature at 5'2". I can be shy at first but will open up once I'm comfortable around you. I have been casually dating a girl for the last couple months. It’s been fun to get to know someone intimately, date someone, and then come home and tell my husband all about it! He has been so supportive and happy for me to have found someone I like, and I am happy that we have been able to open up our relationship to the poly lifestyle. Husband, also nerdy, loves reading, video games, shares love of music and sciency things, and loves eating all the food I make!

My Ideal Person What we are looking for at this point in our lives is to share a deeper connection with a lady or couple that goes beyond just hooking up. We have been in the swinging lifestyle on and off for about four years, and while we have had a lot of fun and met a lot of great people, we would like to develop more of a relationship with the people we meet.

Polyamory is new for us as a couple and is something we have been talking about a lot, especially the thought of dating separately. We have been doing a lot of reading into what it entails, especially reading about the pitfalls and common issues couples face with them. Of course it can be hard to know how you'll feel about every situation before it occurs, but this is what we're ready for and we are strong enough to talk through it every step of the way, with each other and whomever we date.

For ladies: We want to form separate relationships with any woman that we potentially see. We have no expectations on how quickly things progress and understand that they may unfold at different paces. We really enjoy group sex, but by no means is that a requirement, as we would really like separate play.

For couples: We have done the meet and bang and we aren’t really interested in that any more. We would ideally like to meet with all of us together for a drink or dinner to see if there is chemistry and then branch off and have separate dates so we can form connections with each other as individuals. We would like to date separately and be intimate separately, but also potentially play together if everyone is interested in that.
