We are kind of bored with the swing scene. We'd like to check out Hedo some day, and we sometimes enjoy local BDSM gatherings, lifestyle house parties or nightclub takeovers, but Splash Mocha is its own beast, for sure. We haven't really seen eye to eye with the organizers' response to COVID and their refund policy, so believe me, we've looked for similar events. So far, we haven't found anything in the US quite like it. The biggest reasons that come to mind at the moment are:
a. Splash has more of what my wife is primarily looking for (namely, black men who enjoy white hotwives) than other events we can afford to travel to. The closest thing we've found was a week long event in the French Riviera, but that's not something we'll be able to entertain any time soon.
b. We don't have to hide anything about our dynamic at Splash. We meet bulls who like the way we play, we can connect with other cuckold couples, and enjoy an environment with a lot less judgment than we find elsewhere. We put time and effort into the outfits we will both wear for each night's theme, and present ourselves as a couple. Not everyone there is into what we are by any stretch, but what we're into is largely welcome there and we've met lots of great people we continue to stay in touch with.
My wife and I have very little interest in regular couple swapping, if there's not some element of kink, power exchange, and/or interracial play. Average, first-time sex with someone else's spouse is rarely better than the sex we have together. Splash Mocha is geared specifically to those with an interracial preference, and it's predominantly black males who like to meet and play with white couples, which suits us fine. They do a great job making sure there's a good ratio of couples and single black men, and they vet and mentor men so they understand how to approach people in the lifestyle. So if that's your flavor, nothing else caters to it as specifically, nor as well. The same company does Splash Events, which are not specifically interracial events, but a regular swingers takeover isn't really what we're looking for.
