Fantasy Interests
Talk with your partner about the fantasies that you want to play out. Be open and honest about your expectations and things you want to experience.
Decided on your comfort level
Talk to your partner and figure out how far each of you are willing to go. Are you both okay with each other having sexual relations with other couples? Is flirting as far as you want to take it? Set some initial rules and guidelines and adjust them as you become more comfortable.
Get tested
Before you start sleeping with other people it is a good idea to get tested. Make sure you are clean and are not at risk to infect anyone else with an STD. Safety always comes first.

Commitment level
Decide beforehand the level of commitment you will have with other couples. Do you want to play with a number of couples or are you looking to build a long-term relationship with one couple.
