Hotwife ground rules: a starter checklist

Ten things to agree on before the first date, so the night is about fun, not surprises.

Most hotwife nights that go wrong go wrong because of something nobody thought to talk about. Go through this list together before the first date.

  1. What’s on the menu? Kissing, oral, sex, sleepovers. Be specific.
  2. Protection and testing. What’s required, and when do you test?
  3. Where? Your place, theirs, a hotel or only in public at first?
  4. Is he there? In the room, nearby, at home or not involved at all?
  5. How do you check in? A text at agreed times works for many couples.
  6. The safe word. For the night, and for the arrangement as a whole.
  7. Who’s off-limits? Friends, coworkers, exes.
  8. Photos and messages. Allowed, and if so, kept where?
  9. What happens after? Debrief that night, the next morning or not at all?
  10. When do you revisit this list? Put a date on it.

Print it, fill it in, and keep it somewhere you can both find it.
