Thank you ladies - and men! It is so reassuring to have advisers. I think idea of showing him my post and your responses as a way to open up the conversation is a good one. It is funny to not have any hesitations that I am ready to swing but still having to work myself up to discussing it openly with hubby. But it is clearer to me now that we have to be ready together, openly with each other.
So I am going to start by showing him my post and this thread, tell him I think I'm ready, and start talking about it. While I am nervous, I am also comfortable with this direction. And I am so excited I can hardly stop myself from going in and fucking him right in front of his football buddies and the game - but I will resist, at least for now!!

Rational discussion about swinging - what a concept!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
