A few thoughts on sharing our thoughts

This is our very first blog. It seems a bit ironic that our first blog would be about something that we have held as one of the most private parts of our lives. With that in mind, we hope you can understand our wanting to be somewhat anonymous...at least until we know you.

We are a typical married couple. We live in the suburbs of San Diego in a nice home in a great neighborhood. We have 2 beautiful children and family dog. One of us has an executive level job while the other is a stay at home parent. We have a great extended family and dozens of friends. We live a normal life, pay our taxes, work hard and enjoy free time with our family. We are  your typical Cul-de-sac couple, with one exception. We are an open and sensually adventurous lifestyle couple.

We decided to share our thoughts and experiences about and in The Lifestyle to help break the stereotypes of what it means to be an open or Lifestyle couple. We are tired of seeing our community represented by people on HBO's Real Sex, who while they may be open, are not what we know as the reality of The Lifestyle.

The truth is that most of the thousands of lifestyle couples and singles we have met are very attractive, healthy, successful, educated, respectful and otherwise normal by society's standards. Where Lifestyle couples stand out is in their openness, fun loving attitude and respect for diverse interests and sensual tastes. Most see life as like a candy store that offers any number of delicious treats to enjoy. Which treat we choose is based on our unique interests, kinks, wants or fantasies. All of these options are equally delicious to some while equally disgusting to others.

We are here to share our experiences both good and bad. We hope to open some minds and shatter some stereotypes while reinforcing others. Of course we do this while opening ourselves up on something that is otherwise very private. Hopefully, we can help the next curious couple in moving toward or away from the Lifestyle. To each their own.

Lastly, we want to encourage you to ask us questions. We have seen just about everything with more still to come. We are happy to share. Sharing after all is caring. :-)
