You aren't the only "advanced" swingers out there. So don't let the young or beautiful people tell you there is no place for you.

Miss Piggy said...."As for why I'm lurking? Well, part of it is that it seems like other people have answered everything so well already. By the time I come along all the good advice has been given.
The answers that are already up tend to seem more clear and interesting than I would be able to muster".

I'm afraid that's where I am, I try and add something positive and constructive but soon read that it's already been said.

I know some of you have registered so you can enjoy other areas of the site (forums aren't for everyone) and that's cool... but I just want to know. I'll even make it a poll so if you have that serious of an aversion to posting you don't have to! LOL.

We like reading the stories and thinking about posting some of our adventures.

I feel the same way as DeCatuerareacpl stated... I feel sort of like an uninvited guest.
BUT, I'm always interested in what others are saying, & I throw in my 2 cents here & there.

Thank you Julie for your response! Twould be nice to visit with the 'advanced swingers'. Are you aware of 'socials' or sites for us 'advanced' folks? I'm not aware of any. I do want to say "keep up the good work and the great site you have here". Luv it, wouldn't have it any other way!

Not any specifically. There used to be a website dedicated to "Senior Swingers" but I don't think it's around anymore.

Hi All..Ok you've prodded me into responding, I thoroughly enjoy reading all the posts and see that there are some quite interesting and intelligent people out there, I have learned much from you all. I do feel somewhat like many who have finally responded that I don't have much to contribute at this time, I think though that this board is a very healthy way for you all to express your views on sex and other issues.
I have been through many interesting times and lived through the hippy free sex period of the late 60s and early 70s,I lived and travelled in India for a number of years and have lived in communes both in Europe and the US were sexual encounters were the norm, I indulged and like a kid in a candy shop I tried a bit of everything. I think the one lesson I learned from that period was that indulgence is far healthier than repression but after a time indulgence itself becomes a sort of trap..its like suddenly discovering a dark room in your house that you didnt know existed and you are afraid to go into it so you settle for hanging around in the doorway.. I've come to understand that sex is that doorway..its the key..eventually as a society moves from repression towards indulgence, the momentum is set in place that eventually swings it back to repression.. so we move back and forth like a pendulum clock..'repression , indulgence, repression, indulgence.. I think we are at a very good point in our society to stop the pendulum and move in from the doorway..
I'm not sure if this makes any sense to any one here but thats what came out, my apologies to you all if I offend
Carry on with the good work...

[JustAskJulie]

Buddha it sounds like you have some interesting experiences and much to share here. Are you saying that your pendulum has swung back towards repression?

Lurker, now that's a curious term of endearment. We don't post because I'm still trying to get the wife to read the forums on her own, and not have me pick out the interesting threads. Perhaps when we are a little more experienced and she decides to viewing this site on her own we may post more.

I enjoy the site but can't spend much time in here because of the Teenager in the house.
