- •Clear expectations prevent misunderstandings
- •Regular communication maintains connection
- •Not every great encounter needs to become ongoing
When to Pursue Ongoing Connections
Not every successful encounter should become a regular thing. Consider:
- Was the chemistry consistent and mutual?
- Do both couples/all parties want to continue?
- Are schedules and logistics compatible?
- Is there genuine friendship as well as sexual connection?
- Are all partners aligned on what "ongoing" means?
Setting Expectations
Frequency
How often do you want to meet? Monthly? When schedules align? Only at events? Be realistic about availability.
Exclusivity
Are you seeing other people? Most lifestyle connections are non-exclusive, but clarity prevents assumptions.
Communication Style
How much do you communicate between meets? Daily chatting? Just when scheduling? Different styles work for different people.
Maintaining the Connection
- Regular check-ins even when not meeting
- Celebrate each other's wins and support through challenges
- Be reliable—follow through on plans
- Keep communication balanced across all parties
- Address issues directly rather than letting them fester
When to End It
Sometimes connections run their course. Signs it's time to move on:
- Scheduling becomes impossible or one-sided
- The excitement has faded for one or more parties
- Drama or complications outweigh enjoyment
- One couple's situation changes (moving, relationship issues)
End Gracefully
When ending an ongoing connection, be honest and kind. "Our circumstances have changed" or "We're taking a break from the lifestyle" are valid. Ghosting is disrespectful to people you've built a connection with.
