Hi everyone,

 

My husband and I have read many stories, adventures, ideas, do's and don'ts on this board and have learned a lot, but after joining a couple of swinger sites, chatting with singles, couples and exchanging pics, even meeting singles and couples, we are about ready to say "enough is enough".

 

My husband "Mikie" and I "Blondie" are best friends and are open with each other sexually. We talk about everything we have done, to everything we fantasize about. I have been with women in my past relationships and even by myself before I met my husband. The experiences that I had by myself with other women were great but when my partner at the time was involved it was always a bad experience, either during or afterward.

 

When I met Mikie I was truthful about the attraction that I have for women but vowed I would never go there again, even if it was okay with Mikie because of my past experiences. Well, after a few years of marriage I finally felt comfortable enough to try to explore that part of my sexuality and I wanted it to involve my husband even if it just meant he watched. He totally was comfortable with that.

 

We did meet a couple that I did have a few encounters with the wife, while both husbands watched and then joined in with their wives. They became a little strange after a while and we broke it off with them.

 

We have met a few other couples since then, but nobody I was interested in being with. We tried the swinging club scene and got stood up! Never been stood up in our life until then.

 

Anyhow, we have become more open about our fantasies and have broadened our boundaries. We have lots of couples and singles that email us they are interested, but either we are not interested or we email them back and let them know we are interested and never hear another word. We feel like we are in high school again, chasing people.

 

I just took all our pics off SDC and put on there that if anyone is truly interested we would send pics.

 

I guess my question is, are we trying to hard? or not hard enough? Sometimes my husband say's that I am too picky, but shouldn't I be? There have been some sites that we have listed that he is curious about other men and we are open to single men, but it seems that we attract guys that just want to be with me or say they are curious and interested and when we respond we don't hear another word.

 

Guess you could say we are just about ready to say "we give up"!!! Help! We are not an unattractive couple at all and just want to explore our sexual fantasies. Advice please?

Guys, don't give up just yet. I can't say why some of those people that you emailed never responded back. Some of the others might be a litttle intimidated that someone finally found them interesting and strangely enough might not know what to do next.(been there) I was about to say that you guys are finding some decent people, but after careful rereading I see what you have about the same problem that I have. I keep finding those single male "couples" that just want to separate me from my wife because their SO just ain't doing it for them. So I feel your pain in that regard. Good luck in finding some real people, they're out there.

We never post our pictures on-line. Like you, we aren't unattractive, we just want people who aren't "catalog shopping". We send our g-rated pics rather liberally, but just don't want our faces on the world wide web.

 

We've done really well with that approach.

 

It may be that you are trying too hard. When we first got started, we were rather naive and didn't know how to "try hard" - and the first few times at the club we were popular little chimps.

 

Then we decided that we were going to be the aggressors. That didn't work at all. I think our "predatory movement" just kept us one step ahead of those who were looking for us. We had encounters, but they weren't the same as when things happened more serendipitously. We have changed our tactic and we go to the club and simply enjoy ourselves. After all, at the very least, a night at the club is a great time.

 

We approach the web the same way. We do get some interest and do meet couples, but a lot of patience needs to be used when going that route. Since it isn't our primary approach, it seems pretty busy to us - and we reply with the "no thanks" button more often than not. If that is your main way of meeting folks, then patience is a virtue. It will take some time - probably more than you want to believe. But hang in there! You guys sound like a great couple and there are some great people out there who deserve to meet folks like you!

Hi Blondie and Mikie! Thanks for posting. :)

 

We've had similar results with ads. We don't know why people contact us and then back out when we say we're interested. It's hard to tell who you're dealing with on the other end. Perhaps we were not patient enough, as other people do report some success. We're going to try clubbing for a bit and see how we like that.

I'm curious about this. Were you meeting someone there who didn't show, or was this something that happened inside the club?

You have the right to be. If you don't feel an attraction for someone, how can you be expected to play with them?

Hi Blondie & Mikie!

 

I think that everyone who is involved in this lifestyle finds themselves in the spot you're in sooner or later.

 

For whatever reason, some people just don't respond to lifestyle ads, or e-mails like they would to friends or co-workers who send messages.

I just figure that those who don't respond or follow up to my messages are the one's who are missing out the fun, not me!

 

Keep your selves out there in the mix, and I'd be willing to bet you'll meet some really good people.

 

Good Luck- and if you are ever in California, drop me a line!

We agree with Spoomonkey. We have an add with no pics on SLS. Because there are no pics we get less responses (I think) but the responses we have recieved have been genuine.

 

We prefer going to clubs and as Spoo said we were the popular "new meat" in the beginning. We then decided to be the aggressors as we learned how the game was played and in general flopped as the encounters didn't live up to our expectations. Just last friday we decided we were going to the club with the thought in mind of just having a good time together. We met the most compatible couple we have ever met there and had a great time.

 

So, be patient there is someone out there for you.

Finding couples or singles to swing with is hard work. Couples are even harder than singles but singles back out more.

 

I say just take it as it comes. If it doesnt work or they dont show...so what...Fuck em.

 

One thing we have found in this lifestyle is you have to be thick skinned. Not in a gross aligator kind a way. That would definately make couples/singles even harder to find! :lol:

Hello all again,

We really appreciate all the advice and we will keep trudging forward and being patient. To answer "BRADANDJANET" questions, we were supposed to meet a couple that I chatted with online with at a certain swing club and they did not show up. They emailed us the next day and told us they arrived late. We waited for three hours for them and they had our cell numbers. I told them that we understand things happen, but come on, even my teenager calls when he is going to be late. Unfortunately, we did not get their numbers, so we had no way of calling them. We were not rude in responding to their lame excuse, we just wished them luck in their adventure.

 

My husband does also agree with you "Brad" about having an attraction to someone before being able to play with them, but I think he thought I was always trying to find something wrong with women who were more attractive than I was because I might be intimidated. I have set the record straight with him and he understands now that I don't always look at the outside of women or couples for an attraction, a lot of an attraction is personality and meeting people on web sites all you have to go on for personality is what they write about themselves and how they write it. I think what really made him understand is when we went to the Austin Bike Rally last year, I hooked up with a woman that was with a gentleman we had met on SDC who became a friend. She was not someone my husband expected me to be attracted to and quite frankly, had I seen her picture on the web, I probably would of hit the "no thanks" button as well. We just hit it off and it just went from there. We did not do anything but kiss and dance, and we have not seen her since.

 

Anyhow, like I said, thanks guys for all your advice and we will try to learn to be a little more patient since we don't care much for the swing clubs, this is the only way we have to meet other lifestylers....

once again, THANKS!

Blondie and Mikie

I hear where you're coming from , we've had over a dozen people contact us, then when I say we're interested I never hear from them again. It is getting frustrating. I was chatting to somebody today on MSN that contacted us. When I saw them come online I said hi and they just went offline after a few questions. No goodbye, no not interested, just terminated the connection.

 

I think we may try an off prem club soon. Too many wierd people are hanging out online.

We find that happening a lot! It seems to scare them off ;)

 

I think it's been mentioned before, but expressions of interest do seem to scare off the wannabees, fakers and flakers. Just a case of being persistent!

Hi TXBLONDIE,

 

We too have had our share of disappearances-Just because we say we would like to take it a step further and ask for photos. Ewww, Who should go First?

 

Why just be nervous when you can be paranoid?!!! LOL!!! :lol:

 

There is a thread that just started called "How much did you have to wade through?" or something like that. Pretty interesting.

 

Look, when we decided to do this, I thought about all the ladies I'd be with. WOW; and all the men Fem D would be with. Now that has changed because we realized that we don't have the time to do all that. We have had to change our goals.

 

Relax with it. Hey if they aren't mature enough to respond and be up front then to heck with them. Move on. You WILL find at least 1 couple you click with. You must not quit because of a few. You just haven't met the ones for you yet.

 

Good Luck.

Hello again,

Just thought that I would post an update to such a frustrated post.

 

I will first say that we thank you for all the advice. We did not give up completely, we simply took a break, talked about it countless of times, and finally decided to go about it differently and so we gave it another try. I must say that all the talking made us realize the break was a great thing. We realized we really were not 100% sure of what we wanted. We realized that the full swap lifestyle was not at all what we wanted, in fact we both agreed that we didn't want to be with couples at all. No offense, just our preference.

 

Mr. also expressed his desires for a MMF threesome which opened up a whole new door for me. "YEEEHAAA"! What girl wouldn't want to try it? Our communication level kept growing the more we talked about how we felt. We have met a single male and have have two MMF threesomes with him. He's a very nice and respectful gentleman and he has been very patient. We can honestly say it has been worth the wait. Not so much the sexual pleasure we all gained from the experiences but the whole new level of trust and love that I have for my husband is unexplainable. Ladies that have experienced this know what I am talking about!! That first time we were all together it was like falling in love with my husband all over again.

 

I have been on cloud nine since. It's like nothing I could ever imagine. The sex was wonderful and we were all very comfortable, but alcohol was a bit of a help I must say. We chose to drink less the second time around and it was noticeable and things were a little shaky but it went well over all. We all talked and we realize time will be our best teacher. To sum it all up, I am glad we didn't give up and I am so glad that we have taken this journey together and we look forward to whatever else it has to teach us about life and each other.

 

:) TXBLONDIE

Congrats on things working out!!!

 

Honestly, we went through the same thing. We knew something wasn't working right. I knew what I thought it was and Mrs naughty knew what she thought it was but we didn't know the other was thinking the same thing. We almost decided to stop all together.

 

We, like you, decided couples did not hold what we were looking for from of swinging. Nothing to apologize for. You found what works for the two of. You are not swinging for others.

 

One thing we did find when we came out of the "No couples" closet was a little bit of an unacceptance from swinger couples we know. It's not like they didn't want to talk to us anymore but their attitude changed some.

 

But oh well, We aren't trying to get them in the sack anyway. :lol:

We sure know what ya mean about wanting to give it up. Happy to hear you finally found something that works for you. We on the other hand, are still searching. Apparently, single bifemales are much harder to come by...hehehe. But I am stubborn and dont quit easily..I'll keep looking...she's out there somewhere. :)

      Our frustration is in finding other couples to play with. We are on several websites and are finding that couples who initially seem interested in getting together will talk and put us off and we end up not getting together at all.
       
      Is there another way to meet other couples that would be interested in actually getting together?

      My ex-wife and I were in the lifestyle for several years, and then unfortunately found out she had been cheating (several times in college, and two separate affairs during our marriage) during our entire 10-year relationship, even while we were swingers (but never with other swingers). Took me a long time to reflect on what happened, how I may have contributed, questioned swinging, etc. It took me some time and many of my friends to help me realize she had a LOT of issues, and still does.
       
      I was concerned there could be the possibility my ex-wife would try to accuse me of something false related to our swinging (I made her do it, etc.) that would eventually reveal my past to my new wife. Honestly, I approached the lifestyle with my ex-wife as a gift to her - it was all for her, not myself; I learned a lot about myself, and thought we had completely open, honest, and loving communication, never pushing each other to do something and always respecting our decisions made together as a couple, and truly thought it was improving our marriage. I give you that backstory to tell you my current story…
       
      I’m remarried to an incredible woman, and could go on for days how amazing and stunning she truly is…we’re both devout Christians and attend church regularly. A few months before I proposed (she knew it was coming, ring picked out, etc.), I made it a point to be completely honest with her and tell her about my past in the lifestyle with my ex-wife, no details, just the blunt fact. I’m honest to a fault and deeply believe I owed my now wife the entire truth, especially in case my ex- decided to falsely accuse me of something related to our lifestyle involvement.
       
      She didn’t take it very well, she was very disgusted and felt taken advantage of, etc., and I actually thought at one point she wouldn’t accept my proposal. It took a little while, but we finally worked through it, but not after some very specific questions she had about it all…which I tried very hard to still vaguely side-step (going into steamy sex details about an ex- with your current girlfriend isn’t exactly wise course of action).
       
      My current wife is more reserved and conservative in her beliefs, but popular and stylish, and not at all a prude. She immediately denounced swinging and asked if I wanted her to do the same, pictured me doing all these gross orgies with ugly people, etc…typical mainstream misconceptions and misunderstandings of what the lifestyle really is…and I explained it to her. She’s not the most confident woman in bed, part of her reserved side, but I’ve been trying to get her out of her sexual shyness shell so to speak for a while.
       
      But for the past couple years, year of engagement and year of marriage, our sex frequency has gone down considerably, almost seems like she’s disinterested. I have to initiate sex all the time, she never does oral (giving or receiving) or any other foreplay, and she makes it seem like a task to get done and over with most of the time. [side note, she’s performed oral on me once, while she was on her period because she felt obligated, which I stopped her and told her she didn’t have to just because of that and felt she HAD to please me, I’m a gentleman, and not selfish. She took it as I didn’t like how she was doing it, so she claims to this day…]
       
      It worries me, and I’ve brought up my frustrations a couple times and she actually listened, but nothing really has changed, she hasn’t opened up and communicated or appear to feel more comfortable during sex. There have been extremely brief glimpses of hope at times though (before I discussed my frustration)… like when I was trying to skirt details of explaining the lifestyle, I did ask her about her sexual history and if she had ever had a one night stand before, which she did admit to me she’s had one (so at least one, maybe more, which was a encouraging in my opinion) and I was merely relating the similarity to swinging that sex can be for fun and just for sex and to help her see that her desires are not so far off from a swinging couples, it’s along the same lines and even better if you consider the open communication.
       
      Another occasion, she initiated and for once acted like a sex goddess one night we stayed at a friend's house after drinks, wouldn’t let me get up without fucking her, she was vocal, passionate, wild, it was incredible…but she did have some drinks in her. Another - she tried to get me to have sex in a public bathroom when we were out with a bunch of friends once (work friends mind you), which I wasn’t really into and said no…which she got upset and accused me of swinging but I wouldn’t do that with her…caught me off guard a little and made me wonder her real intent for wanting to in the first place, testing me or truly acting on exhibitionism impulse.
       
      With these examples, I’d like to think there’s a sexually free woman in there somewhere, at least I hope, she just doesn’t communicate about this kind of stuff very well, and I really hope her knowledge of my past doesn’t make her feel more inadequate or insecure in bed. If anything, I had hoped it would open her up to feel more comfortable in expressing her desires and sexual prowess with me, but it has definitely not.
       
      I am not trying to get her to be a swinger, and won’t ever bring that up, ever, but I do want to have that same open communication and comfort sexually with just her that I learned from the lifestyle, complete and respectful open honest dialogue about what we both want, like, dislike, etc. I do want her to feel desire and comfort initiating sex on her own more confidently. I just don’t know where to start or how to approach…which is why I’m here, asking some old lifestyle friends for any sage advice or ideas that maybe I’m not thinking of or haven’t tried yet.

      We are heading to Cuba on May 4th and will be staying at a non-lifestyle resort. As we enjoy getting together with other couples or inviting another guy to join us for some threesome fun, we are wondering if anyone has had any luck in attracting or getting the attention of potential interested play partners at non-LS resorts?
       
      If so, does anyone have any suggestions/tips/tricks that could help us in seeing if there are other people in the LS like us that may be willing to explore the possibility of some adult fun during our stay? After all, we are sure that we are not the only LS people that frequent non-LS resorts from time-to-time.
       
      Thanks and all the best to all Swingersboard members.

      The wife and I were discussing all of our swinging meet and greet dinners that never panned out. Many of them went really well and proceeded to planning stages for a date, but then aborted close to go-time.
       
      This could be just our perspective, but to us there seems to be a lot of people that fall into one of the following categories:
       
      -- They are in it to try to find a female for the wife. They have failed finding a unicorn, and so they have moved to the couples category and think they can just 'figure it out' and tolerate the spouse. Some of them even imply that they center around the girl play and get dodgy about what the guys are going to do while all of this is going down.
       
      -- The husband is clearly into it, and the wife acts into it but she doesn't interact as much. This inevitably ends in a last minute permanent flake where they disappear from the universe all of a sudden.
       
      -- Chatters. They meet for dinner and get excited. They chat enthusiastically for sometimes weeks trying to line schedules up. Time comes around for the play date and they bail.
       
       
      It's actually a welcome relief when couples figure out that our interests don't align very quickly and stop talking. That saves EVERYONE a lot of wasted time. I have a lot of regular good ol' American vanilla hobbies in my wife and I really don't want to waste weeks of energy for something that isn't going to go anywhere.

      It was a fairly typical night at D.J.s Island, an early autumn evening. Mary and I hadn’t set anything up in advance, we’d decided to go almost at the last moment. From the second we entered the door our radar was beaming across the club, searching for a couple that might be searching for what we were also interested in - an enjoyable tryst.
       
      Mary took a few minutes to change into what she called a ‘trolling outfit.’ As I remember, that night it was a black babydoll with a loose bodice, thong, low heels. Many men admired her legs as I checked the forty or so women, many as scantily clad as my wife. None of our regular playmates seemed to be in attendance that evening, but we had our customs, we weren’t concerned. Perhaps an hour and a half later, I sat at a table next to the dance floor, Mary was on her feet, on the parquet, moving her body, seeing if anyone would move in. A slow sequence of men approached her, danced with her. Some would take liberties such as moving their hands under her garment, feeling the small of her back, perhaps place their palm on the roundness of her ass.
       
      I’d seen this many times before, I waited for one of two reactions.
       
      The first was that she’d spin away from the man; it signified she wasn’t interested in what he had to offer.
       
      The second was that she’d get closer, I’d watch her whisper in his ear. I knew the question, “Where’s your wife?” Some of them would shake their heads, they were attending as one of the few single men the club allowed, and when they received Mary’s response, they’d move away - that’s not what we were looking for at the moment.
       
      But the man might indicate where his wife was dancing a few feet away. When this kind of thing happened, Mary would glance to me and give our special signal - she’d put one hand on the back of her head, one on her stomach. When I got the cue, I’d come out, we’d dance as a foursome.
       
      As I approached, a man grasped the elbow of a tall attractive lady who was more modestly dressed, at least for the club. There was no conversation on the dance floor, the heavy volume of music and the thumping of the bass wouldn’t allow for speech. But I could tell the woman was interested in me, the four of us paired off and I often found myself facing this vixen. It was obvious they were as interested in us as I was in them, I could tell by the way Mary was rubbing against the man that she felt the same.
       
      After a couple of songs, Mary led the way off the floor, holding his hand, leading us off into a corner away from the speakers. As we sat, the man said, “I’m Ed, this is my wife, Marilyn.”
       
      Marilyn and I softly shook hands, I believe she raised the hem of her skirt to give me a view of her upper thighs. Ed had no problem seeing Mary’s legs, or where they met - she was sitting so that the babydoll was gathered to her side, leaning forward so her globes were exposed to his view.
       
      “Do you come here often?” Ed asked.
       
      “Every few weeks,” I responded, “you?”
       
      “This is our first time here.” Mary gave him a look that asked for further info. “We’re just starting this,” he admitted.
       
      Marilyn picked it up. “We’ve only had one time with a couple of friends. We liked it, heard about this place, decided to see if we could get into more trouble.”
       
      “Trouble’s our middle name,” I joked.
       
      Our conversation continued, where do you live, what movies have you seen lately, etc. It was a screen, of course, we were all calculating if the four of us would be pleasurable bedmates. I paid my attention to Marilyn, my wife had told me numerous times not to worry about her, she can take care of herself. My hand found Marilyn’s knee, she smiled at me, encouraged me to reach a tad higher. We bent towards each other, our mouths met.
       
      Marilyn opened her lips to me, the kiss was ardent, her mouth moist. She licked at my upper lip, her hand fondled the back of my neck. Our tongues clashed, promising cupidity, mimicking what I presumed our bodies might be doing in a few scant moments.
       
      We broke for a moment, Marilyn invited, “Would you guys want to go to one of the rooms?”
       
      I, of course, was all for it, but then I heard Mary. “Uh, not right now. But thanks.”
       
      We’ve always had the guideline that if one person doesn’t want to do something, she speaks for both of us. Regretfully, I pecked at Marilyn’s lips a last time, we stood, went separate ways.
       
      “You’re not upset, are you?” Mary asked me.
       
      “Of course not, not at all. You’re not in the mood?”
       
      “Oh, I’m in the mood all right, just not with Ed.”
       
      “Something wrong with him?” I asked.
       
      “I tried to get him interested,” Mary revealed, “but his kiss was a little cold, indifferent. I put my hand on his leg, he was too busy watching you and Marilyn, he never responded. My guess is that if we went into a room, he’d be watching you two, I’m not even sure he’d get hard for me.” It was a reasonable thought, it had happened to us a couple times before. “Hope you don’t mind, bet she’d have been a firecracker.”
       
      “Maybe. But you’re a firecracker too.”
       
      We headed back to the dance floor, in search of another couple.
