[The Fuse]

It's an interesting idea... but I think that when Mr. Fuse and I were newbies, if someone had suggested the idea of a volunteer mentor, we would not have been receptive. We would have thought it was a little creepy...like something was implied, no matter how subtly. However, if there had been a particular person or couple we felt like we wanted as a mentor, we might have asked them questions in that vein. We did talk to people about how they got started.

Our "mentor" was a group -- the people of the Swingersboard. Lots of wisdom at once, with the freedom of anonymity on both sides, and the best people around. We also learned from what we saw, and what we felt.
