Hmm. I don't think going into anything blindly would be a good idea, even if you do trust you man wholly and completely as it sounds like you do. This is a chance for you to take the lead and explore what interests you sexually. This is the opportunity he is offering you. Time to stop and think about about your own particular turn-ons. Do you like men? Women? Tall dark and handsome? Blond and blue eyed? Redheads with freckles? How about a brilliant smile, or wit, or a sense of humour? Maybe there's something about a deep southern drawl that makes you melt (Matthew McConnaghy...drool facelick)? Foreign accents, big muscles, lean and wiry swimmers build, teddy-bear type... What's your fancy? And what sort of attitude turns you on? The bad boy type, or the 'shucks ma'am' 10-gallon hat cowboy, or maybe a James Bond lookalike?

Share your fantasies with your b/f and work it into your own playtime. You probably do that already (what am I saying? :rollseyes: ). Anyway, I'd suggest hanging out with this couple if your b/f thinks they're a good match for you both. You always have the option of saying no thanks at any time for any reason. So if, during dinner or dancing or drinks with them, you realize that they just don't make you think "sex", or if they make you immediately uncomfortable because of their personalities, just say no thanks. When you find the right couple, you'll know. You'll all feel the chemistry that's there and you'll all be curious about taking things a step further...even if the first few times you venture into swinging are nerve-wracking.

The bottom line is to stay true to yourself. Stick to your guns and don't allow yourself to be pressured into anything you're uncomfortable with. Even if that makes you the party-pooper. It sucks sometimes, but I'm sure it won't feel as bad as waking up the next morning feeling like crap because you did something you weren't ready for. Be brave, but go slow and let things fall into place naturally.
