By Nina Hartley

We have a great sex life — he recently asked me to go to a swingers party.
Honestly it’s a bit scary — what exactly goes on, are they safe, and what’s expected of me?

Sincerely,
To swing or not to swing?

Hope For Disaster Daters
BadOnlinedates.com celebrates the day after Valentine’s Day

A Woman’s POV: How it Makes Me Feel When… We’re Not Exclusive

By Caitlin Thornton

When over brunch of bacon and eggs and lots and lots of coffee, the guy I’m seeing suggested we had an “open relationship.” I stopped shoveling yolk-soaked toast into my mouth and paused. “I didn’t think… we had an open relationship?” I said slowly.
