Not sure where this belongs, but new nonetheless

Thread title is completely appropriate. Hello RHP, I'm cornchip and I'm new! Poked around on the forums today, and after reading some amazingly considerate and mature responses I've decided to quit lurking and come cap in hand for a bit of advice. Hoping you'll oblige me...I'm bisexual, and I'm in love with my girlfriend. Utterly, completely adore her, and intend to get engaged to her.The "I'm bisexual" bit has been on the edge of my mind for a while, and was probably the reason I waited several years before splashing serious cash on a bit of compressed carbon and associated precious metals.It's a little more complicated than that, actually (is it ever easy?). While I completely and utterly love my girlfriend, I've reconciled with myself that I will need to have, erm, intimate sexyfuntimes with a male from time to time. My amazing girlfriend of many years took this on board with a stiff upper lip, and now we're trying to find ways to Make Things Work.This is Bold New Territory for us. We've had a lot of discussions about this over the past week or so, and are going to try going to a Swinger's party on the weekend. Frankly, we're both butterfiles-in-stomach terrifed about the idea; we both came from very conservative families. Not only that, but STI's and trolls and boundaries, oh my!I'm hoping we meet a nice couple who are very much into each other, but can play nice with us. I'm hoping the male in that couple is a mirror of myself - in love with his significant other, but bisexual enough to enjoy both of myself and my partner. I'm hoping that his partner will understand. I'm hoping that, with a good amount of talking and clarification, everyone knows the difference between a line in the sand and a coded invitation. I'm hoping that the play keeps away from the stormy waters of jealousy, resentment, confusion and danger. That's a lot of hope, with very little experience to back it up.RHP, I'm asking you do more than say Hi to the New Guy. I'm opening myself up to your advice, your experiences, and possibly your lynching mobs.  Hello RHP. Grab a pitchfork, there's shouting outside and you don't want to miss out.
