Greetings to the lifestyle community!
I'm a 28yo professional guy from the SF Bay Area in a stable relationship, and I've learned about swinging from an article called
Today's Alternative Marriage Styles: The Case of Swingers.
There's a quote in particular that I think sums it all up greatly:
Quote:

If swingers have found a way to stabilize relationships, prolong family ties, and enrich the lives of couples we would be remiss if we did not take their lifestyle and their redefinition of monogamous love seriously.

Looking at the divorce rate and
cheating rate, and realizing that we're all humans and have desires, swinging just makes rational sense when you think about it - honest, open sexual fulfillment and fun.
Anyway, I won't preach to the choir here, just wanted to introduce myself.
As you might sense from the tone of my post, I'm not thrilled about my girlfriend's opinion about it, but I hope that she'll think about it. However,
the FAQ says that if your partner isn't really into it, then stop talking about it, so that makes me less optimistic. We haven't really talked about it, but I mentioned the idea that maybe in a few years when we'll have had the same sex for quite a while, it would be enhancing for our sexual life if we explored other possibilities. She said the idea scared her.
I don't know if I should bring up the subject again, or settle?
Thanks,
H
