Solo vs Couple play as a woman

January 20 2026

I’ve had couples ask me about people I’ve played with and who I might recommend to them as a couple. But feel there can be big differences in what I look for in solo play vs what a couple seek in a play partner. So, there’s not always a clear answer. For women who seek others to join them to play in both solo play and with their partners. How does what you look for in a play partner change when: It’s just for you vs When your partner is also involved in the choice Or does your partner still play a part when deciding who you connect with for solo play? Do your priorities shift around: • attraction • personality • emotional safety • experience • boundaries • vibe with your partner Basically, what matters just for you, and what matters when you’re choosing for both of you? Genuinely curious about the differences.

    As usual your contributions to the forums are deliciously thought provoking. For us getting a recommendation for a male from a female would make us feel safer and more assured that the guy walks his talk as we all know talk is cheap. A recommendation with no ulterior motive for personal gain holds value I fee.

    Well my friend, speaking from my experience one on one play versus group play (mfm or mff) are very different things in terms of the way people behave. My ex had played with a guy and had an amazing experience with him one on one and so we decided we would ask him to join us for an MFM. Lovely guy in a social setting and we all got along well but even at the conversational stage it was clear he had a strong interest in my partner and wasn't making much effort to engage with me. I'm straight, as was he so it wasn't like I expected any MM play, just social interaction to get to know each other before being naked and intimate in front of each other. Anyway jump forward to us all getting better acquainted and my gut feeling was right. He really only wanted a repeat of his one on one play with her and despite her politely reminding him she wanted to be shared, he would put her in positions (like missionary while trying to kiss her) that made it next to impossible for me to engage too. So my view would be a recommendation could be good but it might also just be an indication of how that person plays in a one on one session. If I was to be in that situation again I'd put more weight on the recommendations of other couples who had played with that single M or F, rather than one half of the couples experience playing with them.
