I agree with this sentiment in its entirety, including the "different strokes" aspect.

Years ago, when we were dating, the two of us had what some people would define as "soft swinging" experiences on a couple of occasions--same room, a bit of contact, etc. We thought that was really hot--at least until we had our first hard-swap experience.

Having been there, I don't see the attraction to soft swapping, other than as an appetizer. It occurred to me when I saw Julie's question that it hasn't even come up in our conversations about "wants." Whether to seek MF vs M, together vs separate, how far to go, etc...have all come up. But soft swinging hasn't even registered on the radar.

For those who don't wish to cross that line, more power to you for knowing your limits. But if we're gonna dive, we're gonna dive all the way.
