I think you should approach this by reading as many of the countless threads on this board that deal with the subject - "SHOULD WE SWING WITH OUR TRADITIONAL FRIENDS?"

In almost every case the advice will be a resounding "NO!"

My advice is to read as much as you can on this and other boards, continue to talk with each other about what you are wanting to explore and acheive as a couple in the lifestyle. Then look into regular swinger venues such as lifestyle clubs and partys to look for people to interact in the flesh with.

It is very common for people to start looking towards their pool of traditional friends when they first begin to talk about swinging however having your first encounters with regular friends is almost always a bad idea and can result in jealousys, hurt feelings and can put your marriage, their marriage and your friendships all at risk.

I will concede that you all have already discussed this and that they seem somewhat interested too however all four of you are inexperienced and do not know how any of you will react in real life when things start to happen.

I would strongly reccommend you keeping your traditional friends out of your bedroom and making your first steps into the lifestyle with real swingers.

If down the road some day when you are more experienced and know what you want out of the lifestyle and know how you react in a variety of situations and your friends are equal as experienced and knowledgable and you all still want to mash flesh then you are all concenting adults at that point.

Currently, however, it would be blind leading the blind and you have a close friendship and two marriages at stake here.
