"Part of the enjoyment is being that person you know everyone wants — you're a rarity, hence why you're called a unicorn."

Sex and relationships counsellor Christine Priestly says it's a term that's been around for a long time, but has become more popular in the past decade.

When we asked Miranda what she likes about the lifestyle, she says it's the feeling of freedom and community.

"It's hard to think of going back to just sleeping [with] or dating one person," she says........

It had been 15 years since Megan Bhatia had sex with anyone but her husband, Marty.

In 2018, the Bhatias, 38-year-old college sweethearts, were following the prescribed path that sex researchers call the “relationship escalator.” They met at the University of Illinois at Chicago, married in 2004, and bought a house they could scarcely afford in the West Loop. Megan underwent three rounds of IVF in three years to welcome their twins, Kira and Sebastian. After the Bhatias’ jointly-owned real estate business collapsed in the 2008 financial crash, Marty hatched a digital training consultancy but eventually grew disillusioned with the work; Megan was traversing the country as a full-time executive-leadership coach while a nanny logged 50 hours per week watching the twins. Getting married, having children, and striving in corporate careers, the Bhatias “bought into that American dream,” says Megan, now a fresh-faced 42 with long, beachy waves. But the traditional roles of worker, wife, and mother subsumed her: “We shut a lot of ourselves off as we live,” she tells me. “The life that started as a wide-open slate can become this little pinhole.”

Throughout the course of their marriage, Megan and Marty buried the rebel-heartedness that initially bonded them. Marty remembers a traumatic early childhood and his late mother’s alcoholism, and grew up wild and hard-partying. Megan was driven by wanderlust, living in Belgium for a year at 17, then in Spain during a year of college, where she dated men during breaks in her on-and-off premarital relationship with Marty. “I felt so free. I was exploring. I was learning new languages, meeting people,” she recalls. “I felt like everything was possible.” In the years that followed, that unbridled part of her faded into a rarely seen alter ego that she and Marty referred to as “Barcelona Megan.” Both children of divorce, Megan and Marty committed to monogamy, vowing—especially after their children were born—that their marriage would last forever.......

Myrina turns a new corner in her exploration of being a Hotwife when Tristan and Myrina go on a playdate that was completely orchestrated and organized by Myrina and their date.

Before then, Tristan was generally the communicator with possible playmates. But when Myrina saw "A" at a swinger club, she decided to make the first move. When they could not play that night, Myrina decided when, where, and how their playdate with "A" would go. She took total control of the entire experience. Thus beginning yet another chapter in the Accidental Swingers ever-growing dynamic of their non-monogamous lifestyle!

I am a man of 35 and she is 30. We are due to be married in July and I thought things were good, but clearly not.

I’m a quiet guy who likes sex once a week, on a Sunday morning.

She has asked me if I’d like to try something new, but I don’t know what to do. I was a virgin when we met seven years ago.

She used to be overweight but since lockdown, she’s changed her eating habits, downloaded a fitness app and now she’d give a 20-year-old a run for their money.

My fiancée goes out with her mates every Friday. She always comes downstairs before her cab arrives and asks me if she looks OK and I say, “Yes, you look OK”.

She seems annoyed with that but what does she want me to say?

I don’t mind her going, but recently, she’s been glued to her phone.

She has her hair done most Friday afternoons and even has her nails done now.

I began to wonder whether she was talking to somebody else. When she was out one night, I looked at her iPad and saw a tab open, showing her profile on a swinging site.

I was horrified, especially as she said she wanted to “meet men for fun before I tie the knot”.

I set up a profile too and she’s taken the bait. She’s asked me to meet her at the club which is linked to the swinger site........
