Ep. 108: Temptation: Destination Truth

Richard: So today, Lauren, we're going to talk about temptation and the mystery that it is, what it is, where it is, why it is. It's a little bit of a gray area for people that are in the lifestyle, not in the lifestyle. Some people understand it. Most people that are confused about the lifestyle. Love it because it's true that's their jam and most people who are in the lifestyle uh sometimes don't love it because they don't understand it and maybe we can clear up some of the discrepancies and the confusions and answer some questions about, like I said, why is it? This is what I know we can answer about all of the what, where, when, how this is the one I know we can answer

Lauren: where that's a good one, Richard. So we'll start with that.

Richard: We're gonna get to that in just one second. We just have to talk about a few really, really important things that are mandatory to hear right before we get started and some complaints because we don't have therapists and we need to use you people to get some stuff off of our chests. Lauren, it's important that everybody knows that Flirt February 2027 is almost half sold out. No, it's over, over half sold out, and they need to go. And I'll tell you why. Not only because we were voted best lifestyle party in the US by Lifestyle Advocate magazine, and

Lauren: we're not even in the US, which was amazing that we even got that right.

Richard: I know but as far as the coverage, Lifestyle Advocate magazine goes, Northeast Division, um. It, it's the most recognized magazine in the United States. It's also completely made up. We just need you to go, and here's the reason why it may be the last. So there's a lot of reasons to go. The catamaran trips, the DJs are amazing. Friends. One day earlier, we're, we're having an amazing Super Bowl party up on the roof. We're gonna have a rooftop pool Super Bowl party. We hope you join us. If you do want to go, this is the one to go to Flirt 2027. And what are the dates?

Lauren: It's the 15th through the 20th.

Richard: If you've thought about it, if you've paused, if you've said, uh, I may go next year, uh.

Lauren: I totally want to go. My friends

Richard: went. Tell them where to go and what to do, how to get to this amazing, amazing event that is truly, and these are not my words, but these are words of most people that we speak to, better than everything.

Lauren: Well, it's true.

Richard: It's true.

Lauren: I laugh, but it is true. You can always go to room 77life.com. You can go to room 77events.com, whichever you can remember, just click on it and we will get you there. Yeah.

Richard: Hello everyone. There is a lot of ways that you can support us, but the three best ways are this travel, going to our event, and becoming a member. The first,

Lauren: travel. Yeah, if you're going to book Desire or Temptation. Or Jito or any of the cruises, go to room 77life.com. Use the links there to get to those official sites because it costs you nothing and you get a free Bikini Addiction bikini, which no one else does, and you support the podcast. It's so easy and it helps us so much. Or if you want, you can use Lauren's box and have me do all the work for you. I want you to do all the work for me. It's like Me being on top.

Richard: The other way is to book one of our events or become a member. Lauren, where do they go to become a member for as little as 5 bucks.

Lauren: Go to same room 77life.com and click Become a member.

Richard: You get inside our private chat with hundreds of others and you'll see what our personal life is like. Spend time with us and you can talk to us about anything at any time you want.

Lauren: I am going to put down in the show notes the link to my new travel page. Go over. There you can follow me there and then you can message me and I really appreciate it. And in addition to thank the newest monthly members who took time to come over and support the podcast, we have R and Jay, Michael, Al, CB Summer Cole in from Texas couple, Silver Fox 71, Graham, someone pretty cool, Brooks, Meg P and Randy. 77 is how it is said in British English.

Richard: 77.

Lauren: You know,

Richard: the. All right, Lauren, we started and uh I just wanted to ask you, how are you feeling after our house almost blew up?

Lauren: I'm excited we didn't lose the TV, Richard.

Richard: Is that sad? Well, that's what my focus more trials and tribulations of living in Mexico. It's hot down here, especially when your electricity goes out because, because your installer crossed some lines that shouldn't have been crossed, and, uh, you had to beg him to come out and fix, fix it because it's 1000 degrees outside and you need air conditioning. And he's leaning towards, well, can you just live with it for now? No, I cannot live with it. Uh, can you please stop what you're doing and come here and I will

Lauren: send an Uber. I don't

Richard: care, please. I'm begging you. Please come fix what you fucked up, please.

Lauren: If you're interested in moving to Mexico, just feel free to reach out.

Richard: And while we're complaining about stuff, I don't know who's listening that does Airbnb.

Lauren: I think a lot of, a lot of our listener does, yeah, yeah.

Richard: And listen, I'm not that we haven't used Airbnb. I'm becoming not a fan really, really quickly because they use Airbnbs in our neighborhood, and, and I, I, they make me so angry because. I don't know where the mentality comes from. They constantly use our neighborhood like it's a resort. So if you are a person that does Airbnb, I don't know if you can sit them down individually and just say to them, Hey guys, don't be morons. You know what I mean? Like it's not a resort. You don't walk straight up to their windows and look in because it's just interesting. You know, when you go to the pool, you know, maybe not go with 14 coolers and like scream. And yell and party like it's a resort because, because it's not also not to sound shallow, if they were a little bit hotter, I maybe I wouldn't have that much of a problem, you know what I mean? If they were like, right,

Lauren: you're like you shouldn't have walked, you should have always walked to the street to the pool with no shirt on. Everyone else, you're

Richard: like, they're being beer shirt on. They're really hot. Woohooo. Hey guys, come up, party at my house. But they never look like that. No, they don't. They don't. Yeah, they're usually just really kind of gross. It makes it worse because, listen, if Airbnbers showed up and they were hot, I'd be like, Let's get more Airbnbs in here.

Lauren: What could that business be called? Airbnb at 10.

Richard: It sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Lauren: Airbnb VIP. That's what it is. Yes,

Richard: we could also open an over 55, uh, residence for that too, where it's like only hot senior citizens. Because that's our niche, you know, we'll open like a retirement community, but it's only hot old people

Lauren: villages, but.

Richard: Yeah, it's the villages, but it's hot. There's gonna

Lauren: be so much sex

Richard: there. I'm sorry, Maude, you have to leave. You just, Elma, I'm sorry. You just really let yourself go. You have to move

Lauren: out. It's in the contract.

Richard: You really let yourself go. I have cancer. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. Time for a breast lift. That's the new business we're working on. Yeah, we're just, we're just spitballing new ideas here because dying a slow death. Speaking of slow deaths, temptation. We are going up to temptation. What are the things that you do fantastically, fantastically, is that a word? Fantastically. Yeah, fantastically. Muchacho's on his back. Just give him one belly rub before we start. Just and then we'll get back to this. There you go. Muchacho and a little pat. One of the things that I find really interesting about temptation is. Because we've been going there for so long, it still confuses me. I still have so many questions about temptation. Yeah,

Lauren: you

Richard: don't

Lauren: know whose lifestyle and what

Richard: are some of the questions you get there? Being travel agent extraordinaire, also a travel agent voted best travel agent for desire and temptation from Lifestyle Advocate magazine, Northeast Division. What are most of the questions that you get from people that are going there? I mean, and they're legitimate questions.

Lauren: One of the last ones that I got was, we are, you know, in the public eye, and I cannot be disclosed in any way, shape or form. Yeah, that I can't be at a topless resort and it's not even, you know, it's just, it's a topless place, adults only. It doesn't mean anything, but they don't even want to be associated with that. And they said, how secure is it for photos? Am I going to be photographed and put on? And

Richard: I think

Lauren: that's

Richard: because there's a lot of photos online when people post photos online, they're like, well, how, how am I seeing photos online of temptation if there's a rule that there's no cameras? So I mean, it's, it's a fair assessment in a way. The other thing that you read a lot is about single guys. There's, oh, I don't want single guys there creeping on my wife, and you know,

Lauren: I don't know if Hito gave people a bad rap or like what.

Richard: Yeah it's something that we haven't. Experience, but you, you get that question, you get that you read about it a lot. It's not something that we haven't really experienced that much or even witnessed that much being up there so many times. The clothing rule, you get that.

Lauren: Oh yeah, like how do, where can I be topless and what can I, how risky, how not risky, how risque can I be going into the buffets and stuff?

Richard: What we're going to do because we're going up there, what we did is we gave ourselves a list of things that we want to accomplish because there's a lot of things.

Lauren: You accomplish things on the bingo card and you stamp that off and you see who wins that. All right, all right, bingo. All right,

Richard: Temptation bingo. OK, let's do temptation bingo. Made a list of, of a bunch of things. I don't know how many we're going to be able to check off the list. So this is sort of a before and after episode. So this is the before if you haven't caught on to the concept yet.

Lauren: We haven't gone

Richard: yet. And then when we come back, we're going to do the after. We're going to say, all right, this is what we investigated. This is deep investigation. Yeah, we're,

Lauren: we are going. Low embedding ourselves into the enemy. I am going undercover in my theme nights, costumes, uh, maybe some eyeliner for you. We got to get, we got to get deep.

Richard: I have been preparing for this for a really, really long time. First on the list at Temptation because we always find this part difficult when it comes to the swinging world, because that's another question people get. Are there lifestyle people at Temptation? The answer is, I don't know.

Lauren: I just read this post on Facebook that was like, if your wife lays out topless, you're a life in the lifestyle.

Richard: That is not true at all. And

Lauren: then he said

Richard: it

Lauren: twice. He answered two people twice like that. He's like, exhibitionism, that's lifestyle. You're on the lifestyle. I'm like, Whoa, slow your roll.

Richard: There we go. Everyone in France is in the lifestyle. The whole country is OK, so, um, I, we do find it very difficult to talk to anyone at, at Temptation. It's a little, a little more difficult

Lauren: because the music's fucking annoying loud, but,

Richard: but, OK, so first on the list, talk to someone.

Lauren: Find a lifestyle couple. No, no, no. Oh, just talk to somebody. Yeah,

Richard: I'm keeping it easy first. I gotta get that. Talk to someone. That doesn't count as a hello. Just talk to someone. Actually talk to someone, have a conversation and talk to them and have a real conversation. That's single or couple. No, no, no, just a couple. OK, yeah. The single thing's on the list somewhere. Can you just not jump ahead? Well,

Lauren: I wanted to ask because you said someone and it does not very clear when you do that.

Richard: Talk to a couple. OK,

Lauren: thank you,

Richard: Richard. The second one is find a life. Lifestyle couple. So we could do two in one there. OK, so it's find an actual lifestyle couple. So you talk to people, right? And then within that if they are, hey, are you guys in the lifestyle, and they say, yes, bam, we just killed 2 birds with one stone.

Lauren: OK.

Richard: Find someone who is actually taking photos illegally, temptation illegally. And see if we could say, yeah, it's true. We saw it and they were, they were breaking the law.

Lauren: They were had everyone in the background.

Richard: Everyone in the background we were like, it is absolutely dangerous, don't go

Lauren: there. And security was oblivious,

Richard: OK, which, uh, security is not that bad there. They're actually pretty good from, from what I've, I've witnessed, uh, pretty good. Single guys causing problems. I am going to personally follow any single guy I see. I'm gonna follow him around like I'm stalking him. I'm gonna see if I find any single guys causing issues. I may. Even pose as a single guy.

Lauren: Oh my God, that's brilliant,

Richard: and cause problems just to see if anyone notices, right?

Lauren: I think that's good. Listen, you're undercover,

Richard: Richard deep undercover.

Lauren: You got to do what you have to do. I may even go for a New York Times

Richard: then to go, to go even further, I may even start a fight just to see how fast security responds.

Lauren: That's good.

Richard: Then I'll tell them, no, this was all just

Lauren: a test. Thank you for responding. I am not leaving the hotel.

Richard: I am free to go. On the same note of security, sometimes they don't like it when you are naked outside, like on your balcony. So they will come up to the room and they will say, Hey, you can't do that because that's not this kind of hotel. I mean, that's the way it used to be. Again, I don't know if that happens anymore.

Lauren: Yeah, we got to find out.

Richard: So I, we've never had sex actually on the balcony. We've seen it happen before. I would like to have sex on the balcony. Tacha does not like this idea. That's

Lauren: how he would deal with

Richard: security. If security does show up, they're going to say, stop. You can't do that. And we're going to say, stop now, we're gonna say, why don't you come in and stop us. The other thing, one of the things that we did here, Reed, is, uh, you cannot stay after you check out. So we're gonna, we're gonna try that even though we're not gonna, even though we're not gonna stay,

Lauren: we're gonna see if we can we're gonna see

Richard: if we can, and we're gonna confirm that that is not true or if it is true, we are gonna try to get a couple to flirt with us that is under

Lauren: 40. Guys, like only a few years difference, but I get it. You gotta put that out there,

Richard: yeah, and bonus if they're not. Mentally impaired or blind, any of that, then that's bonus points for us. We are going to try to find a single guy and talk to him.

Lauren: Are you going to send me out to do that, or do you want to find him? Or should we

Richard: find him together? Whatever way is easiest. Whatever way, we're going to try to find a single guy. Number, whatever number I'm on, we're going to actually try to eat at a restaurant. I don't think we've done that lazy. I don't even know if I honestly, I don't think that one's going to be accomplished. I really don't feel like eating at a restaurant.

Lauren: Always buffet buffet doesn't count is what he's saying because we always just grab something and, and

Richard: nothing against the restaurants there. I just, I just don't really have time or the energy or want to. It's, it's, I know people like to go and eat stuff. I just, I don't, I don't have the energy for it.

Lauren: Well, we need to know the process because there's reservations. Do you make reservations? Is it Premiere makes reservations? I don't even know the rules anymore, so we need to find this stuff. We're not the people

Richard: to ask us. We're not really foodies. It's just like, just put something in our stomachs and then we don't, we don't really care. Uh, I would like to find one man who is on the fence about his sexuality just as a fun because, you know, we do hear that there are, uh, gay friendly there, so we want to find someone there perhaps wearing a boa, um, sit in that jacuzzi thing. No,

Lauren: the small one or the ones that are the tiny one. There's tiny ones in the jung,

Richard: no, no, the one, the main one, yeah.

Lauren: Oh God, that is some soup. I gotta

Richard: be honest, that one's not gonna happen.

Lauren: We're gonna be leaving one day and you're gonna be like, I dare you right now to go. OK.

Richard: The old rumor of if you, if you leave the door open, that someone that is an invitation to come in and have sex with whoever is in that room, we're gonna look for open doors. Are we gonna leave ours open? We are gonna leave our door open also, so we'll look for open doors and then we'll also leave our door open and see if anyone enters. And then when they, and then if someone does enter, we will call the police.

Lauren: Housekeeping doesn't count.

Richard: Housekeeping does not count. We also, we also have one goal, well, where we will talk to, try to talk to someone if we see them taking a walk of shame. Oh,

Lauren: that's good, and,

Richard: and ask them if they had

Lauren: fun. I like that.

Richard: And also if we are lucky enough to be taking a walk of shame, to admit to anyone that we see on the way in an uncomfortable, awkward way, we're taking a walk of shame.

Lauren: Just normally look like this, just

Richard: to tell you we are and see what their, their reaction is, see how that goes. That is it. That is our entire list. So those are the things that we have to accomplish. OK.

Lauren: That's a lot in 4 days, Richard.

Richard: It's, it is a lot in 4 days because I'm gonna be sleeping through most of it, to be honest. We have a lot of work to do. We'll let you know how this turns out. If you, if you only hear this part of the podcast, it means we died. I'm so sorry. There will not be a next episode. We will, we'll talk to you when we get back.

Lauren: Well, since we're talking about temptation,

Richard: what are we going to talk about?

Lauren: I wanted to tell you the origin story for Bikini Addiction was birthed at Temptation. Did you know that?

Richard: This is a birthing story. Do you know I always wanted to be a midwife? Tell me.

Lauren: Brad was looking for a place for Jeane to go and be able to wear these tiny bikinis that she loved in public. They've never found hotels in the vanilla world that were appropriate. So bravo to Brad. He found Temptation, and when they showed up at Temptation, she immediately fit in. It was lifelong friends they were meeting. It was where they were supposed to be. The destiny. Yes. So every year they would return and there was one recurring theme. Tell me what

Richard: it

Lauren: was.

Richard: This is like a telenovela.

Lauren: People were always coming up to Jane and complimenting her cute tiny bikinis and they were like, you know, this is our first time here and I didn't know what to wear and now I feel like my boring Macy's bikini is like not the right thing and I feel so awkward. So Jane with her big heart was always like, Listen, here's an. Here's an extra. I brought an extra. Just take it. Here's a scrunch back

Richard: thong. And Jane was there giving away her own clothing.

Lauren: Yeah, that's who she is.

Richard: She's a missionary.

Lauren: She was changing people's lives and their bikini bottoms. And these wives would come back to the pool with a new confidence. It

Richard: was their asses out. I mean, of course, that makes sense to me.

Lauren: And Brad's favorite part was always watching the husbands light up because he would see the wives morph with their sexy confidence, superhero level stuff if you asked. Yeah, so that begged the question, were they onto something? Turns out 7 years later, they were, they were, they've been changing the world one bikini thong at a time. This has been 7 years. Now they've got 2 new limited editions out. So go grab yours and I will see you by the pool.

Richard: If you appreciate that story, you should appreciate Brad and Jane did an amazing job. Go to where do they go to find everything? What do they

Lauren: do? Go down in our show notes. We always put the link in the promo code room 77 to save 10%.

Richard: Lauren, I don't know if you're into doomsday

Lauren: prepping.

Richard: Yeah, there is something major happening right now, and if you are out there and you are any type of doomsday prepper, this message is for

Lauren: you. Do I need to get more masks?

Richard: No. The thing is, is under, under the federal law, major changes are happening right now in the hemp world. The Kush cube, as you know it now may not be available anywhere, any hemp available product after November.

Lauren: Oh yeah, that whole farm bill thing. You're fucking politicians, I swear.

Richard: So this is what you can do. You can go to Kush Cube and stock up on the Kush cue 15 mg gummies, the blast off 500 mg gummies. Listen, get a bunch of those. You're good for a couple of years. Let me tell you right that shroom cubes, the 10 pack, the 20-pack gummies. Take them, build a cellar, pack it with that.

Lauren: You're

Richard: set, and then worry about food and water, right?

Lauren: It's more important for

Richard: sure. All jokes aside, we're not making this up right now. As of November, these are going to be federally banned, I think, unless something else happens.

Lauren: They can't mail them across state lines

Richard: anymore. How do they go to the Kush cube and stock up right now because the clock is ticking?

Lauren: Go to King Bee Distribution or click the link that says Kush Cube in the show notes below. Use our promo code room 77 to save an extra 10%, and you can get these blast off gummies down to like $1.24 apiece if you do a subscription and use our promo code.

Richard: Gummies did actually work.

Lauren: So stock up, people. Let's go. All

Richard: right, we are back. Turns out we did not die, but close. I am so tired. I'm still tired. It's been a day or 4. I don't even know. And it's not because we're rock stars. It's because we're just not very good at this. So we have some answers for you. We went through all of the list and we tried all of the things. So we're just gonna get right at it and we're gonna tell you the answers that we came up with, the things that we accomplished. We have some solid answers. We have some vague answers. Um, as far as the, the easy ones, uh, and I'll let you answer some of these because you, you're way more social than, than I am. The easy ones about talking to someone. Did you get to talk to anybody that was actually in the lifestyle? I know I

Lauren: did. Yes, I actually did meet a few couples that were relatively newer in the lifestyle. Yeah, I did. You

Richard: did. You got to meet somebody that was in the lifestyle. 100%. Yeah, I met, I think 11 couple. I got to, I got to meet a few couples that were actually in the lifestyle.

Lauren: You're just trying to copy me. No,

Richard: no, no, no, I think you met them first though, so I don't know if I met them, but. I did meet them. Now, I don't know if they were interested at all meeting anyone. This part is important. The, the only person that I met that I know was interested waited until 2 a.m. on the last night to approach us and say we're interested and say, hey, we've been watching you the entire time. Now, the answer that I didn't give this person is, you've waited too long, you stupid fuck.

Lauren: Just because you told us that that you waited 4 days, we're going to deny you because of that. Why do people do that?

Richard: There are people there in in the lifestyle, so we answered that. Single guys. Here, here is the question. Single guys causing any issues.

Lauren: Now I did see a few gaggles of single guys and I didn't see. Like just single man who decided to go on vacation by himself. I saw the singles that I saw were out together, like on a trip, and they seemed fine. Yeah,

Richard: I saw, I saw single guys, but they, they were like gangs, but not like gangs like you would say like, oh, that gang looks dangerous. More like gangs in a music video, like beat it. Like you're like, oh, that's a cool,

Lauren: cute

Richard: guy that were that were styled. They weren't really roaming around. Now, I did meet one single guy, and that was actually the only single guy that I did have an issue with that I was like, I, I met him, and I can't really confirm or deny that he was a single guy, but I would bet 99% that he was a single guy. And I did have an issue with him. I was, I did kind of want to throat punch him.

Lauren: It wasn't that he was causing a problem. It's that his personality was a problem.

Richard: He was causing a problem with me. I mean,

Lauren: his, his

Richard: approach was a bit

Lauren: obnoxious. Get

Richard: the fuck

Lauren: away from me gimmicky. Yeah,

Richard: it was a little bit much. Uh, it was enough to make, if, if I wasn't the person I was and I was a more of an insecure person, I would have been like, what's your problem, bro? Like I would have been that guy, but I'm not that guy. Watching him throughout the night, he was not necessarily causing problems. I

Lauren: think he's just born that way. I think he was

Richard: just a douche douchebag, which answers one of the other questions. Um, I did, we did get to meet one single guy that was in fact douchey. Check. Did you see people taking photos that were ruining lives that were being rude with their cameras or otherwise?

Lauren: I didn't, but you know what I did see. I saw a new sign and it said something about selfies only. Please be cautious. Only selfies are allowed.

Richard: Yeah, I thought that was a good sign.

Lauren: I, yeah, not like a sign from above, but there was a literal sign hanging now. No,

Richard: it's a little more clear, right? Because it's, it's like you get your phone out and you're like, I don't know if I can do this, but it's a selfie. So what I did is I took photos of the crowd, but made it look like I was taking a selfie. No, but, um, watching security there is beyond amazing. Security is so tight there. I watched security on so many different occasions, catch things so much faster than at any resort that I've ever seen anything. They are on top of stuff so quickly, so much faster than I,

Lauren: than you think. You're not even aware

Richard: where they are. Like they're like Secret Service level.

Lauren: That's what I was gonna say. They're almost like undercover. They're just popping out of nowhere.

Richard: And they're catching things and and seeing things that they're on top of it before. It's pretty impressive. Even the thing of you coming off of the beach and taking some sort of secret entranceway.

Lauren: Yeah, I had an encounter with security. So I was doing photos on the beach and I was by myself. I was down past a little bit temptation. So I walked onto the temptation property to go back in a side gate and halfway up the sidewalk before I could turn or anything, security stopped me and asked. See my band because they weren't sure that I was actually staying there. And I was like, holy shit, that was really impressive because I clocked him. I actually did see him and he was pretty far down the beach, standing sort of in the middle of the Temptation beach. And you know, that beach is really wide. So for him to see me, clock me, make it to me, I was like, damn.

Richard: Yeah, but when it comes to people like walking and not having the correct bands or making sure that people have the. Bands on for that hotel. Had they walked into the wrong area or they don't have the bands to that hotel, they can't get a foot into that area without people on them in an instant. They're just on their shit. I don't, I don't really have a lot of complaints in that area. No, not at all. Um, as far as the rules enforcing clothing, a lot of people ask like, are they really strict about the clothing

Lauren: and where I can wear it and where I can take it off.

Richard: What is your answer on that?

Lauren: I mean, you can wear pretty skimpy. Stuff everywhere, but you cannot let your nipples out basically and walk around the lobby.

Richard: Yeah, I mean, they, they, most people don't.

Lauren: Yeah, most people don't. Most people don't even go topless at the pool, to be honest.

Richard: Yeah, I mean, as long as there's something covering,

Lauren: even if it's sheer, it was like whatever, yeah, yeah,

Richard: but they're, they're not like I can see your titties. Put something on. I mean, they're, they're not crazy about it. I wouldn't stress about it if that's your worry, and no one's gonna be like, you're a little too revealing. No one's. Really going to say that they're not gonna, they're not going to

Lauren: judge you. I also saw naked people in their jacuzzi on the patio in those jacuzzi suites, and they were fully naked and they were on the ground floor.

Richard: That used to be a rule where you couldn't be naked on your patio near the quiet pool section where you could see people. You, you had to shut your blinds. I guess they axed that rule, titties

Lauren: out,

Richard: titties out, uh, which is a good thing, another good sign because I was able to get some pretty good photos of that. We, we were gonna try to have sex on the balcony so security would come and, and try to get us. It would have been a great plan had someone actually been out there to watch us, but no one was out there. No one went on their balcony. No one. So it was just a lost cause and just a failure on every single level. These boring, boring people out there twice, yeah, no spectators. So just a fail on, on our side, really bad room placement. Can you stay? After, because there was all these rumors that they were like, um, all right, we're checking out. Oh yeah,

Lauren: about checkout time.

Richard: Get out. Get out now. Yeah,

Lauren: people were like, I've been, you know, they cut my band off and I had to sit in the lobby till my airport transfer came, blah blah blah. I can't believe this. And I, we cut our bands off and they said, no problem. You can stay and eat and do anything you want till 3 p.m. till 3 p.m.

Richard: Now, now I do believe that there was no time limit on that before.

Lauren: Yeah, I think it was until 6 p.m. Uh,

Richard: so they, they probably cut that in half and said till 3. The other thing, we had a goal that a couple was supposed to flirt with us if we get, we get points, if a couple was gonna flirt with us that was under 40, and, uh, a bonus if they weren't mentally impaired or blind or both. The truth is, is the couple that, that did flirt with us at the last day at 2 a.m. was under 40. Now, here's the thing though. He was wearing a velvet coat. I mean, I don't know if a velvet coat in the tropics

Lauren: makes you mentally impaired

Richard: me a little l makes you a little mentally impaired. I'm taking it as a win.

Lauren: Yeah, I'm just gonna say that we get those bonus points.

Richard: I, I think, I think we won. I think we won. That one. I know we said we were going to try to actually eat at a restaurant and we're going to fail, but we actually got to eat at a restaurant.

Lauren: We did. We went outside of our room and not the buffet.

Richard: Yeah, we went not to a buffet. We actually ate at a restaurant, and I have to say the food was actually meh.

Lauren: Same as the buffet.

Richard: I knew it's exactly what I knew it was gonna be. Yeah, um. Other goal, I wanted to find a guy who's on the fence about his sexuality, which we did, and it happened by accident. This is how it happened. Lauren had told me there was a man behind me dancing and grinding up against me. When I turned around, it was a 6'3 man in a shiny short shorts. And he was sweating like a gorilla as much as I wanted to follow through with talking to him. I couldn't because he was so sweaty that I had to abandon that entire project. But so it's a half win

Lauren: that you're judging his sexuality by the way he was dancing in his outfit against me. Oh yeah, I guess that does count.

Richard: If, if a man's up against me grinding, you said he was behind me,

Lauren: yeah, I mean,

Richard: that's, that's a sign for I, I want you, I wanna take you anally, right? I. International side

Lauren: we've called this, it's dance flirting, yeah,

Richard: yeah, yeah. So I think that's a win, right? They're

Lauren: there, right, done. All right, score that box. We

Richard: were supposed to sit in that, that jacuzzi thing.

Lauren: Oh God,

Richard: huge fail. I knew, I knew, I knew that was gonna be, I already knew it too. Uh, we were supposed to find an open door walking down the halls, a thing to see if people left their doors open to see if we could walk in and, and join a sex

Lauren: party. That was the sign to be a swinger.

Richard: No open doors. I don't see. The open doors. Why? Because it's not a thing. It's

Lauren: not a thing at all.

Richard: We're going to try to initiate an orgy, an orgy, not temptation is not the vibe there. It is just

Lauren: there's too much dancing going on. People don't want to leave. There's a lot of FOMO. There's

Richard: not a lot of communication going on there. It's just not the right vibe for that. We were also going to try to talk to somebody on their walk of shame. We did not get to see anybody on a walk of shame, and sadly enough, we had no walks of shame because we didn't have any sex while we were there. We didn't get to, we didn't get to hook up with, with others. We didn't get to have sex with anybody else there because we suck. We were, we were also supposed to leave our door open to hopefully to have somebody come in and rape us. We didn't have to because one thing that happened to us was at 7:30 in the morning, someone started pounding on our door and And you got up. I didn't hear it. I was still sleeping through it. And once I heard it, I had, I had thought it was like housekeeping. I thought it was housekeeping at 7:30. You you got up and answered the door fully naked, opened the door like, what? And it was a single male fully in costume from the night before, sweaty, asking if his wife was in our room. I don't even think you really need to leave the door open. Apparently random people just show up at your room and ask if your wife was in there. Uh, in hindsight, maybe you should have said, sure, sure, she's in here. Why don't you come look? Why don't you come look? And then he

Lauren: was too sweaty to invite him

Richard: to be, I guess so. I didn't even ask, was he good looking?

Lauren: I don't really know honestly what he'll even look like. I just took in the whole, I mean, I was literally so asleep. I didn't have my contacts in, obviously. And I just know he was like it was a frantic. I don't even know if I could tell you what his face looked like, to be honest.

Richard: 7:30 is, uh, a strange time to start wondering where your wife is. Quite late.

Lauren: That's quite late.

Richard: Quite late. 3 o'clock is a good time to start.

Lauren: Maybe 4:30 at

Richard: the at the

Lauren: latest, latest,

Richard: but, uh, 7:30 a.m., if she hasn't shown up, she left you. At first I took it as a compliment. Like, obviously he went home. That, that really, really smoking hot couple because why would she not then later on we found out he knocked on every door of the hotel on our floor. Yeah, so, uh, not specifically us. So, uh, I hope this answered any, any and all questions. So the, the question regarding temptation is, it's still a little bit confusing there. Um, the, the, the crowd there is still a bit, you know, it's still a bit hard to read. When it comes to the sexual aspect, the still the swinger aspect, there's still a mishmash of, of people that whether it's a lifestyle thing or you're going there for, for any hookups or anything like that, it still happens in a way that is always in a gray area. It, it just happens to, to live in a gray area. I think it'll always happen in a gray area. And if that's your thing, that's the place for you. If you were in a, in a party mood and you just want to live in that party, hey, if something. Happens and, and you, you know what

Lauren: I

Richard: mean

Lauren: spring break in Vegas. Let's not talk about it. Yeah,

Richard: and you want to flirt with my wife and smack her ass and that's all cool. Like that's the place for you, but you know, I, I still don't quite understand it.

Lauren: It's funny because we walked around like we went going to the theme parties at night, you know, you see people dressed up in the costumes and people are like dressed to the nines or there are people who are just like maybe they threw on a button up shirt that's the same. Color and that's to me, that's an example of how far the diversity is, you know, on the scale, like people are like, yeah, lifestyle and party and theme and then other people are just like, uh, I mean, yeah,

Richard: I, if I was to use a metaphor, you have the people who are in the zoo, and then you people who came to look at watch the

Lauren: zoo, yeah, maybe feed them,

Richard: the people who watch and the people who participate, but it's still, I, I don't know.

Lauren: Yeah, how do you decipher unless you just sit. Talk to everybody

Richard: again, I'm not, I'm not judging them. There's definitely people who have a blast there. They, they have fun. I would say this if you are like us, there are people who go there and have a lot of fun. That's, that's great. If you are like us or you relate to us, the way to go there and have fun is with a group of your friends. Yeah, I agree. If you're going to go to a place like Desire, you can go there and have fun with just your, your spouse and have a great time. But if you're like us, you like our mentality. Then I would, I would definitely recommend going to Temptation with a group of people. It's fun. It's fun with a group of people,

Lauren: group dynamic. Yeah, I agree. Still confusing. That's my verdict. Yeah, it hasn't changed, but

Richard: the where it's located in the hotel zone. That's what we can

Lauren: answer on the
