Anyone who has been in a relationship knows what we are all ashamed to admit and recognizes a truth that only some have the courage to admit: the members of the couple do not have the same libido. It's a fact, it's been proven, but even so, at the beginning of a blazing passion, we pretend or forget that it is so and convince ourselves that the sexual force and fever of the early days will remain forever. Will not. And it's time to face the issue.
Libido: one couple, two desires
Pineapple swingers on cruise ships: The truth about upside down pineapples
If you go on enough cruises, you might hear about what it secretly means to have an upside down pineapple on your cabin door.
While pineapples are a popular form of tropical decoration, an upside down pineapple has a completely different connotation to it among married couples that enjoy sharing partners.
Believe it or not, an upside down pineapple is code to let others know that you are swingers. If you're not familiar with that term, it means you are open to engaging freely in sex.
2 friends explain the moment they knew they should have sex with each other's husbands
Kat and Ams, who use pseudonyms to host their podcast "2 HotWives," are members of the swingers community, along with their husbands.
They met two years ago, and quickly realized they found something special, they told Insider.
Now, Kat and Ams and their husbands travel, go on dates, and sleep together.
Kat and Ams, hosts of the "2 HotWives" podcast, aren't your average best friends.
In addition to sharing gossip and going on double-dates with their husbands, the duo has sex with each others' partners.
The hosts, who use fake names on the podcast to conceal their identities, joined the swingers community four years ago after they separately decided to spice up their 15-year marriages.
"It was life-changing. It made our marriages better. It made our sex lives incredibly better. It helped me realize, for the first time in my life, what it was like to be an individual sexual being, as opposed to just part of a couple," Ams told Insider.
Two years into their parallel journeys of swinging, or having sex with another person's partner, Kat and Ams went on their first four-way date together. They haven't looked back since, and continue to date and have sex with each other's husbands. In 2021, the two couples attended a swingers' cruise, called Bliss Oasis, together.
Swinger club? We tell you what it is
Almost all of us have an idea, more or less, of what a swinger club is because of what we have heard or seen on TV, because although sexuality is currently a more open topic, there are still certain things that are consider taboo.
A swinger club is a specific social gathering for several couples (men and women) to meet and participate in sexual activities. Swinger clubs are also known as sex clubs and can consist of formal or informal groups that organize sex-related activities, or establishments where clients can engage in sexual acts with other clients.
