My wife and I are at a point where we're interested in connecting with other couples around our age (early-mid 30s up through mid-late 40s). Having a social life the past couple years has been difficult due to some family circumstances, but things have quieted down and we're craving experiences with other adults. We moved here with our two kids four years ago and aside from neighbors and colleagues, have not really branched out to meet other people. Now that kids are a bit older, we have more flexibility with our schedule. We love to play dice/board games, go out to restaurants/barcades, escape rooms, etc. We hit the downtown mall as much as possible when the weather is nice. We lean liberal and enjoy the company of others where we're comfortable joking around, talking about sex, and just having a good time. As a disclaimer, we are interested in couples who may be curious about same room/no swap sex at some point. We're not quite there yet ourselves and it is certainly not a prerequisite for friendship but at the least, if you are uncomfortable talking about sex or exchanging the occasional innuendo then we probably would not be a fit. Feel free to DM us if we sound like a couple you'd be interested in meeting.

Not sure this is the right sub to ask this but here goes. My wife and I are starting out extremely slow. As in, we want to make connections and find some solid friends first without any expectations for bedroom activities. Our next step would be same room no swap, likely months down the road and then possibly soft/full swap after a long while (I’m thinking years at our current pace).

I would expect many if not most couples on LS websites like SLS and SDC are more immediately interested in actually swinging and are not looking to just make friends. I’ve seen some profiles where people are open to friendship if there is no bedroom chemistry, but I don’t know that that is a common primary goal. My wife and I are searching for some new friends and given our long term interests coupled with our preference for adults who aren’t squeamish about sex coming up in casual conversation, we figured the swinger community was a good place to start. We’ve found a couple possibilities in couples who seem to be on our same trajectory. But my question is if there are sites more suitable to what we are actually wanting at this point in time? I came across bumble for friends but couples are few and far between in our area. We don’t frequent bars or other spots and even if we did, feel like it’d be awkward to try and suss out a random couple we might be compatible with.

Any local couples that are into same room no swap/parallel play?
