This will be a long story, but here goes. Cowboy and I have been together for21 years in a wonderful, loving, commited relationship. Neither of us had ever been with anyone else. Last year, we started talking about how neither of us had a chance to "sow our wild oats". We would never cheat on each other, but we both thought it would be fun to experiment with others. Swinging seemed like the way to do it. We researched and found the Desire resort in Cancun. We thought Desire sounded like the perfect place to "try out" swinging, in a low pressure, non-threatning environment. To get out feet wet and see if we liked it. Also, being out of the country and away from anyone we might know seemed like a good idea. We live in a VERY conservative area, and we know that we have to be very discreet to keep from hurting our careers. We also live far away from big cities, so getting together with other like minded folks will be hard. We tried to book a trip to Desire in 05, but it didn't work out. We kept talking about swinging, fantasizing about it while making love, both hoping we would find a way to make it happen. In spring 06, I was on a travel board trying to win a trip to Desire. The more posts you put on, the better your chances. One of the people also trying to win a trip was JP51. (more about the contest later) I learned a lot about his personality while reading everyone's posts. I never thought I would meet anyone from this group. I wasn't looking for potential swing partners at all. While other people on the group were busy flaming each other, JP51 was posting about his experiences traveling the world, so we often responded to each other's posts about places we had traveled. He was open-minded, intelligent, polite and funny, just like my SO! He talked about how they swing with only 3 couples that they know well. In one post, he mentioned the nudist resort they attend. I sent him a private email to get more info and we chatted a couple of times about the nudist resort. In June, he forwarded info about a live band the resort was having. I told Cowboy that I wanted to go to the resort for my birthday present. (Even-though we had never been to a nudist resort) We had never met JP51, but we figured it would be fun to hang out at the nudist resort, and meet him and his wife. Our rules ahead of time were "no hanky panky at all". We found a sitter and drove to the resort. We clicked right away with JP51 and his beautiful wife. We had a Great time spending the day nude. The live band was wonderful. It was the first time my So and I had gone dancing since college. (We don't live anywhere near NightLife!) We both had fun dancing with the other couple. But that is as far as it went. They went home to their house and we went to a hotel. Back home, we started posting back and forth, all of us learning about each other and trying to plan another get together. 3 weeks later, we went to the resort again, and all 4 of us looked in each other's eyes and that was it. Eventhough my SO and I had NEVER been with anyone else, we jumped in feet first. Wow. I can't belive that we managed to do that the second time we met, but everyone was very happy. It has been full steam ahead since then, with all of us getting together as often as we can fit it into our schedules. Sometimes only 3 of us at a time, when one partner couldn't make it. And it is way more than sex. All 4 of us have feelings for everyone in the group. We all have so much in common, it is almost spooky. We have a level of comfort with each other that normally comes from knowing someone a long time. I don't know how, but I guess it was meant to be. It's been only 4 months since the day of our First face to face meeting. But it seems like we have known each other much longer. We were all a bit freaked about bringing up the word "love" because that is not what Swinging is supposed to be about, but none of us could deny the feelings. So now we are headed to Desire together. My So and I actually booked the trip before we met JP51 and his wife. Then THEY WON the trip to Desire (How cool is that!!) and quickly booked the same week as us. Did I mention that everything has just falllen into place! Now we will have 5 days with no kids, no schedules and we can all relax and play. It will be so wonderful! I can't belive that we found such an amazing couple the first time we tried swinging. And then, we jumped past swinging and landed in a Poly relationship. Talk about wild. I still can't believe this has all happend and happened so fast. Which is why it is great to find a Poly board where we can talk about this. Can't wait to hear from all of you! Thanks for listening!
