The Swingers Board - View Single Post - At what age are you mature enough to understand swinging?

I was about 21 when my ex and I started swinging. I remember some friends of mine prior to that mentioning that they were "swingers" (they were my age - not old enough to drink) and I remember thinking that I couldn't imagine being in a committed relationship and doing that.

It took a good bit of talking for us to get to the point where it was something we wanted to do and I learned as I went. But, that goes back to it depends on the person and the relationship.

I don't think you can look at JUST their age, you have to look at the person (or couple) as a whole and see who they are and find out what their maturity level is. I know some 18 year olds that you would think are 25 and some 30 year olds with the maturity of a 12 year old.
