Relationship Signals That Show You’re Losing Your Vanilla


Transitioning from a vanilla relationship to exploring a more adventurous or nontraditional lifestyle is an exciting journey, but it’s not always one that begins with a clear starting point. Often, couples start noticing subtle (or not-so-subtle) signs that their relationship is evolving beyond traditional boundaries.
So, how do you know you’re “losing your vanilla?” Here are some relationship signals that may indicate you’re ready to embrace something new:

Eroxx: New Year’s Eve Celebration
Dear friends,
This year, you can join us again for the coolest party of the year in your favorite club.
Due to the great success and turnout before, we will have two options so that everyone who comes for dinner also has the time and space to enjoy the party to the fullest.
The first option includes dinner and a second for people who can join the party from 23:00.
A maximum of 130 couples can book the option that includes dinner for €250. For them, the doors will open at 18:30, and we will welcome our guests with the necessary bubbles and surprising amuses from our chefs. Our covered garden will also have a winter bar with these delicacies.
From 19:30, everyone can take a seat in our Pop-Up restaurant, which is now partly set up in our disco. Until about 22:00, you can enjoy a fine, four-course menu served at the table. Our chefs will pull out all the stops when assembling this exclusive menu! This will be a TOP-quality dinner, never seen before in a swinger club!! From 01:00, we will open the super deluxe night buffet. So again, this is not an ordinary night buffet… It will be “the” place where, until four in the morning, you can still sate your late-night hunger. The foodies among you should definitely not miss this party.
From 22:30, the doors will open for another maximum of 150 couples who have chosen the option without dinner but with the night buffet. For this second option, you pay 175€ as a couple.
After the countdown, with the necessary kisses and bubbles, the BIG PARTY will start with two big DJs — Dominico Roberti (Tomorrowland, Noxx, Versus, Discotheque, Caviar de nuit, and more) and Dj Mbargo (Ibiza, Ocean Club Marbella, Beach festival, etc.). They will provide the necessary atmosphere and ambiance until five in the morning!
Check out how to buy tickets and what delicious food is on the menu!
Other plans or fully booked? Then keep a close eye on our events calendar and come to Nina's B-day Party on January 25!
See you in Eroxx!
SILVER SPACE BALL: NEW YEAR’S EVE
Tuesday, December 31, 2024
To finish 2024 and start 2025 in the best possible way at Krystal Club, we have planned two different types of evenings.
1. STARTING AT 8:30 PM: LUXURY DINNER (ELEGANT DINNER FOR 30 COUPLES ONLY).
Participation is limited to only 30 selected couples for a luxury dinner and VIP treatment that lasts all night (table and seat guaranteed, champagne for midnight toast, waiters on hand).
2. STARTING AT 10:30 PM: WELCOME 2025 OPEN TO ALL BY RESERVATION.
For those not attending the dinner, the doors open at 10:30 pm for the New Year's Eve Gala: a sensual party with fine cocktails, wines, and a superb buffet.
At the stroke of midnight, the atmosphere will be hot, with the Toast for all, and the party won’t stop until dawn.
As this is one of the biggest events in the winter program, advance reservations are strongly recommended.
For reservations and questions, email info@krystal-club.it or 3312434209. Reservations are already open! We recommend that you register as soon as possible and pay the deposit to confirm your participation.
Please note: all reservations (dinners and parties) are valid only after payment of a €50 deposit. The evening (not the dinner) will also be open to a few, very select singles.

Can’t get enough of these sexy holiday parties for swingers around the world? Check out more lifestyle events on SDC!
3. You’ve Started Talking About Swinging or the Lifestyle
Has the idea of visiting a lifestyle resort, club, or party come up in casual conversation? Maybe one of you joked about going to a swinger’s event, and instead of shutting it down quickly as a joke, you both got a little curious.
Why it matters: Even lighthearted conversations about the lifestyle are often a gateway to more serious discussions about your desires and boundaries.
4. You’re Both Exploring Sexy Communities Online
If you’ve created accounts on platforms like SDC, Kasidie, or even explored social forums like Reddit’s swinging or polyamory groups, you’re dipping your toes into the lifestyle world. This is often one of the first steps couples take as they begin exploring.
Sign to look for: You find yourselves more excited about these spaces than other traditional hobbies or online groups.
5. You’re Attending Parties or Events “Just to See”
Maybe you’ve gone to a meet and greet, a lifestyle friendly resort, or even a themed party, telling yourselves, “We’re just here to observe.” The key is, even without participating, you’re taking steps toward embracing this new world.
Why it matters: Curiosity often leads to comfort, which then leads to participation.
6. You’re Discussing Boundaries and Comfort Zones
Conversations about boundaries and comfort zones signal a readiness to move beyond vanilla. These discussions often include:
• What you’d be okay trying.
• What feels off limits.
• How to communicate if something feels uncomfortable.
Why it matters: The more openly you discuss boundaries, the more trust you’re building, which is very important in non vanilla relationships.
7. You’re Experimenting with Kink or Roleplay
Perhaps you’ve started incorporating new elements into your intimacy, like light bondage, roleplay, or trying out toys together. This willingness to explore new dynamics shows you’re both eager to break free from traditional routines.
Tip: Start slow and communicate throughout the process to ensure you’re both enjoying the experience.
8. You Feel More Connected Than Ever
A hallmark signal of losing your vanilla is feeling a deeper bond with your partner. These new explorations often bring couples closer together because they require communication, trust, and mutual respect beyond what is considered “normal”.
Sign to watch for: You’re both more open, honest, and excited about your relationship than ever before.
9. You’re Open to Meeting Like Minded People
You might find yourself drawn to events, communities, or friendships with others who share a more adventurous approach to relationships. If you’re actively seeking out these connections, it’s a strong signal that you’re ready to leave vanilla behind.
10. You’re Talking About “Rules” Instead of Saying “No”
Instead of dismissing an idea outright, you’re discussing what it would take to make it work. For example, one of you suggests soft swapping, and the other responds with, “Maybe, but only if…” rather than “Absolutely not.”
Why it matters: This shows a change in mindset from “hell nah” to “hmmm.”
Embracing the Change
Losing your vanilla isn’t a bad thing; it means your relationship is reaching a new level in new and exciting ways. The key to this fun transition is communication, trust, and mutual exploration. If you’re seeing these signals in your relationship, it might be time to sit down and discuss what’s next for your journey together.
Remember, there’s no “right” way to explore non-traditional relationships — only the way that works for you and your partner. Whether you’re a newbie or jumping into the lifestyle, the most important thing is to embrace the journey.
So, what’s your next step? Your non-vanilla adventure awaits!
