(agree with what everyone else said)

This is a common thought path among newer swing couples. The co-worker seems attractive; you know them to some degree, already decided if you are attracted to them, etc.

It's a seriously BAD idea. Don't do it. Period. Most especially with an MFM scenario. There are PLENTY of single swinging men. You don't need the co-worker. All sorts of bad things can happen. It's just NOT worth it.

Plus, non-swinging males jumping into an MFM can have serious performance issues. It's not at all uncommon, even for young, perfectly healthy men, to suddenly not be able to get it up in such a situation. I'm a swinger, but the very first time we swung I had performance issues. Lots of men do. I don't anymore, but I did.

Communication is VERY important. My wife and I have discussed emotional aspects as well. For us, the rule is if a swing partner starts having an emotional attachment to us or we to them, it's quit with them cold turkey time. If you have a regular swing partner, it's pretty had not to develop some emotions with respect to that person. But we do that with friends. If the emotions go beyond platonic, turning to romantic, then it's kaput. We play for our relationship, not to build another one.

Wrong. With no criticism, this is inexperience talking. Men can react in unexpected ways. The guy might think you're no good in bed, and try to take her for himself. He might be freaked out by the idea of having sex with someone while another guy is watching. Some guys just do NOT want another guy seeing their penis erect, or vice versa. The guy might think your girlfriend is a complete slut and suddenly be turned off by her. The guy might think "Oh this is just TOO juicy not to share with my workmates!" and go blab it to everyone.

Reality; you're not him. Regardless of how well you know him, there's no way you can know how he will react. There is a HUGE gap of difference between flirtatious attraction and having a threesome. There's plenty of women at my workplace I'd really enjoy fucking. I have good relations with a number of them, and slightly flirtatious moments with a few. But, my own mindset on swinging took time to develop. Trying to take a co-worker who is mildly flirtatious to full on swinging is like trying to take a bus from zero to 300km/hr in 3 seconds. You can easily snap their heads off. Bad, bad juju man. Don't do it.

Some detachment can be good. Thing is, a swinging experience can set you on fire. That fire should be directed at your mate, not at the swing partner the very next day necessarily

The fabled green eyed monster. Forget about her sex past. Either you accept her, or you don't. You can't change her past. Doing anything to judge her or hold her in less regard for her past is wrong.

Seeing another man fuck your girlfriend (in my case wife) is highly erotic. It's most especially erotic when she's REALLY enjoying it. Little boys don't grow up being told how erotic it is to see their wives get fucked by another man. So, there's no lock-step answers to this. But, a very large number of swinging men really enjoy watching their wives get a good fucking from another man. It doesn't necessarily need an answer as to why. It simply is. If you enjoy it, wonderful! I know I do!!!!

My wife had concerns about being thought of as a lady by me and by herself post-facto. Concerns gone. She now says in MFMs "I feel like a queen!" Society teaches young ladies that keeping your legs together is proper and moral. Hard programming to overcome. It's really really really ok to enjoy sex. There's nothing wrong with it. It's also ok to enjoy getting sex from lots of men at once. So long as it's not illegal, everyone is having fun and there's no victim, what the heck is wrong with it?

Again, the co-worker bit. If this were a swing male, this would be a complete non-issue.

I don't think you have to be married to swing. Only you can evaluate the stability if your relationship. But, swinging requires a stable relationship.

A very good thing to consider is this; Swinging is a magnifying glass on a relationship. Swinging by itself is neither good nor bad. It just is. What it does do is provide a magnifying glass. If your relationships has problems, the problems will be magnified ten fold, and you will have serious problems to contend with. If your relationship is very healthy, with absolute trust and perfectly open lines of communication on everything, then it most likely will enhance your relationship in many ways, not just sexually.

No, you're not too young to swing. The 'average' swinger is a bit older than you two, but that's of no concern. What matters is how good your relationship is (and be ABSOLUTELY honest with each other about that).
