How do you practice enclosures so they become second nature?

Is there an exercise you do, or is it just a matter of trying to incorporate them into solos as much as possible?

Does anyone recognize this bottle or the original advertisement it came from? (1973–74)

My mother painted this as a college art assignment in 1974. The assignment was to reproduce magazine photographs to study how light reflects from different materials. We've already identified several of the original source images exactly:

- a 1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme advertisement
- a phone from a GTE advertisement
- a photograph of the Sayula II

We're still trying to identify:

- the bottle (decanter, possibly liquor or perfume)
- the glass with ice to the right (which may have been photographed with the bottle)
- the photograph of the hand raised as if taking an oath

I suspect these appeared in a magazine between late 1973 and mid-1974.

Does anyone recognize the bottle, the advertisement, or any of the other source images?

Is there a point where emotional intimacy becomes a form of infidelity, even if there's no sex?

I produce an audio drama podcast where every episode is a different story. Our latest story started with a premise I couldn't get out of my head:

A married couple opens their relationship. The husband discovers he can't actually bring himself to date anyone. Then he meets a woman who helps him invent fictional relationships to tell his wife about.

Over time, the two of them become deeply invested in the stories they're creating together.

The story (written by Mac Rogers) isn't really arguing for or against ENM. It's more interested in the blurry line between friendship, collaboration, emotional intimacy, and infidelity.

I'd be genuinely curious how people in this community respond to it.
