The “Lifestyle” — a word every bit as vague and useless as the 8 billion acronyms it spawned — can be confusing, isolating, and a little exclusionary.  People find their lanes and stay in them. 

But what about those of us still trying to make sense of new rubrics, new relationship models, wanting to love freely and openly and having no idea which way is up?  What do we do?

The “Lifestyle” — a word every bit as vague and useless as the 8 billion acronyms it spawned — can be confusing, isolating, and a little exclusionary.  People find their lanes and stay in them. 

But what about those of us still trying to make sense of new rubrics, new relationship models, wanting to love freely and openly and having no idea which way is up?  What do we do?

HoB proposes a radical idea: that we…ya know…sit down and talk.  That we share a few bottles of wine, enjoy a beautiful meal…that we literally break bread with a whole table of strangers in a secret little patio in the heart of Lisbon.  Sure…we’ll probably end up talking about fucking and fantasies and the best place for a ruined orgasm (Sporting Clube Penha de França, though we’ll field suggestions).  In the process, we’ll share our experiences, laugh together (and a little at ourselves, too), and leave as friends in a fledgling community we’re helping create.   

The takeaway (other than the phone number of that hot person two chairs over and maybe an extra sobremesa)? No one knows what they’re doing.  And it’s ok not to know.  Talking about it makes us all feel a little less lonely and a little more comfortable.
