Excellent question.
We seem to have three groups of friends.
The first group (about twenty people) are all very old friends from early in our lives. We keep in touch and see them possibly a few times a year at special occasions. Time, distance and their families make it difficult to see them very often.
The second group are friends that we made in our adult lives. It seemed more difficult to make and keep friends the older we became. It was hard to find the time and a common bond to form a relationship even though we really tried. The size of this group has become very small since we started swinging.
The third group is our swinger friends (yay!). We see them very often, probably three to five times a month in some combination. We have only a few couples that we actually swing with currently. Some couples we are still getting to know personally, the others are chat friends that we have finally invited to a party this March. We are currently involved in some way with 12 swinger couples.
None of our straight friends or family know we swing.
