Re: How do we get past the shyness?
We're an older couple who are both far from svelte and "in-shape". We don't go to clubs, because we're heard that they're often populated by younger people looking for younger people. Obviously, there will be exceptions, but we're just not club people, anyway. We prefer small parties where most of those attending have already met.
In the beginning of our adventure, we joined Swing Lifestyle, which was mentioned in the previous post. That's enabled us to contact and be contacted by others in our approximate age range, and we can exchange pictures before deciding to even meet for coffee or dinner, let alone sex play.
Often the pictures are deceptive, so we don't go by them alone, and hope that others don't, either. I don't mean that they're designed to mislead -- some people just look better in-person than in a photo. And vice-versa. The pictures just do a rough screening for us. We're more interested in personality traits and intelligence than supermodel appearance, but if I remind a prospective playmate of her dad, it's probably not gonna happen, and that's understandable.
After we've met and decided whether or not there's a connection, we'll set up a subsequent playdate, where we know going in that there's an interest in us! So there's no reason to be shy! I kid my shy and insecure wife about often being the first one out of her clothes. You may find yourself to be the same way!
