So, the natural insemination is off the list of plans now. We are exploring other options.
But we did try (safe) extra marital sex in the last week or so and, tell you what, its AMAZING.
I go on a conference with work and it is always very socialble and flirty with lots of opportunity. Since our chats about natural insemination Simon and I have been talking about trying out me having sex with someone else.
Before I went we agreed that if a chance came up I could go for it. When I got there it was obvious that there were a couple of possibilities. I checked again with Simon and checked again on the actual night it happened.
It was really really lovely sex. And amazing to be able to do extra marital sex with my husband's blessing. In the morning we had sex again and I afterwards I just had to speak to SImon so I pretended that I had to ring about the house or something just so I could hear his voice. He asked me if I was alone and whether I had fucked and I let him know I was still wth him and that I had, he sad he loved me.

I just wanted to say al the best with whatever comes next for you on the conception planning side of things. Do check out the HFEA website and fertility network uk for extra help or advice in this area.
Thank you. It feels a bit jarring mixing the two topics in this thread. We are exploring the various routes to conception and I am sure we will find the right one for both of us. I suspect it will be straightforward sperm donation and AI but we’ve not made that decision yet. To jump to the other topic... We both still really loved the conference experience and would like to do it again but don’t really know how I can meet someone without it drifting into our social circles. I don’t really fancy Tinder or Fab Swingers or the other things like that which have been suggested here. For the people who do this, how do you meet men?
The Bristol Gardens Health Spa (in Brighton) or something similar might be what you are looking for, it was mentioned in a previous thread.
We did contemplate going along on a Saturday evening when only couples are allowed in but decided we were more interested in swiming naked than potentialy being physical in front of other people.
There is a spa in Camden (Rio?) and I'm sure there must be lots of them in other cities around the country that provide a safe environment for meeting people.
