Being 100% open and honest with your partner is essential, especially when discussing desires to explore the lifestyle. It’s crucial to listen non-judgmentally to your partner’s concerns, desires, and boundaries. Engaging in open conversations helps couples make informed decisions together, whether it means proceeding with an experience or building a friendship with potential play partners before engaging physically. Spontaneously jumping into play situations without considering boundaries can strain the relationship. Taking a step back, establishing connections, and ensuring honesty and transparency are more beneficial to your relationship.
