Our First Play Party Experience: A Night to Remember

As many of you know, a couple of weeks ago, my partner and I ventured into our first play party together, marking our initial foray into nonmonogamy after a year of monogamy. We chose Top Floor, and I’m thrilled to report that we had an amazing time—even better than we could have hoped for.
