We never kept a diary, per se, but I know at least two of my swing partners who do.

Our first experience was with the owners of a swing club in Florida. Sometime after we made love, she told me that she was keeping a diary of experiences with her lovers in hopes of someday writing a book about swinging. I was entry (approximately) number 300 for that year. This was mid-summer, mind you, so she was a pretty active swinger! We met again about 5 years later at a swing convention. She didn't recognize or remember me at all. No surprise there, but I wonder if I am still in her diary.

Today is the 10th anniversary of the first time my favorite swing partner and I made love under the full moon in Mexico. Last night she wrote that her little book has an entry saying "Made love to (willyoats) on 11/18/98." I knew all along that she saves every love letter I write, but I didn't know that she also kept a diary.

I never had a diary, but for many years I did note, on a well hidden piece of paper, the names of all of the women I have been with and the number of encounters with each. I don't need to make notes for what each session was like because I have quite vivid memories of almost all of them going back around 20 years. The memories of the really good times are like they happened yesterday, as are the memories of the few that were true disasters. The ones in the middle are still with me to a greater or lesser degree.

There are times that I wish I had kept a diary so that I could compare my impressions as recorded then with what I think I recall now. Just for fun. But, that kind of reality check might ruin some of the fantasy that I now enjoy in "the camera of my mind" (as my above-mentioned favorite swinger calls memories). In truth, I am glad I don't have any hard copy because I'll bet that my memories are better than reality, and I like it that way.
