How much intimacy do you enjoy with lifestyle partners?
When my wife and I got into the LS, we did so primarily wanting novelty, some level of anonymity and detachment after the fact. We did repeat some partners in the first couple years but for the most part we were "sport fuckers."
Over the years, this has pretty much 180'ed and we find ourselves deeply enjoying intimacy, sensuality, closeness and barrier free play with our partners.
With a few of them we've experimented with swapping beds overnight entirely and spending the night sleeping with, cuddling, intermittently fucking and being close to one another's partners, which has been really great. There have also been a few instances where we've all shared a single bed cuddled up in a puppy pile overnight.
How common is this? I realize this is probably avoided by some because of the risk of emotional attachment, and frankly that is a real concern, but one we've found ourselves increasingly comfortable with when the 4-way trust is there.
I would not call us polyamorous, we definitely enjoy variety and novelty, but feelings of love have formed, which we don't necessarily fear. For the record, we only do the overnights together and it's usually 2 beds in the same room, except for one couple we'll spend the night in different bedrooms with. We don't play separately.
Do many of you guys do the same or do you prefer to part ways after play?
