Myrina and Tristan speak to two couples and one throuple in the lifestyle and hear firsthand accounts of their personal journeys into the swinger lifestyle. Each dynamic exploring non-monogamy in a way and at a pace that is right for them. The guests share valuable lessons and experiences; all of them giving their own, unique insight into the essential component of every successful lifestyle relationship ... communication. Through their stories, each group reminds us that vulnerability, growth, and understanding are integral to building, creating and maintaining thriving connections. In speaking to these amazing people, Myrina and Tristan are reminded, it's not about the tags or labels but the connections we make, the conversations we have, and the adventures we embark on that bring 'life' to the lifestyle.  

Myrina shares her recent adventures when she traveled without Tristan for a week. Attending a conference where she regularly meets one of her playmates, Myrina knew she would have at least a few beautiful evenings with one of her lovers. She could never have anticipated, or even come close to arranging, how she actually spent her week when she is also able to connect with a previous playmate who lives in the area, and is finally able to make a connection that had eluded her for a few years, which leaves her speechless, breathless and wanting more. A physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting week leaves Myrina feeling that, at least for a little while, she got, at least some, of her groove back!
