hi. after 18 years of 2 marriages, and involved in lifestyle periodically thoughout that time, i am now single and wondering how to proceed with my social life.

 

i have many friends, straight girl friends that are friends of my children's friends, that kind of thing.

 

lately, i've been entertaining the idea of singles groups and even mentioned to my girlfriends that i'm on the market again, jokingly, but they actually came up with people for me to date.

 

the thing is, i don't want a serious relationship, but maybe just a guy that i can enjoy his company and even go to a swinger club and have some fun this way, whether full swap or not.

 

i know there's lots of single guys that are into swinging, but to be honest, this makes me nervous, just meeting random swinger guys. does anyone have any suggestions?

 

on my last post, i got some great suggestions to call a club ahead of time and the host couple can introduce me around. so maybe i'll meet someone, or make some friends this way. i can't force it to happen. thanks forreading.

Jodi,

 

I don't know where you are in NJ, but, you might be able to apply this to your area. There is a club in Gettysburg, PA, The Cottage, that is a great club. They do allow select single males on Friday nights. I have met several single gentlemen there that are great guys. Of course, also we met some not so great guys there.

 

Maybe you can take a look at a local club where you can actually meet some real people in a controlled environment.

As a single man, all I can say is approach this as meeting a single man who just happens to swing. If you were an avid camper, biker, skydiver, rodeo clown, professional wrester and wanted to meet someone to do these things with, you would look at the person first and the activity second. As long as you are smart you can find a single male swing partner without being afraid of the stalkers, clingers, and players. Single men who swing are just like single men who don't swing. Some are good, some are bad, some are arrogant, some are shy, etc. Just don't get it into your head that all single guys who swing have something wrong with them and you usually won't meet the ones who have something wrong with them.

 

good luck.

Very well put! :D

 

I think everyone has a variation of the same issue and the only answer is that unfortunately you will just have to keep trying until you find the few that you click with.

 

If you can't find a club then try to find organizers for a local social or house party and try to meet a few people who can make your transition smoother.

 

Good luck.

Hi Jodi,

You said, "hi. after 18 years of 2 marriages, and involved in lifestyle periodically throughout that time, i am now single and wondering how to proceed with my social life."

---------------------------

We happen to know a single very nice guy who recently told us almost the exact statement. Only difference was he has never been involved in the lifestyle.

-------------------------------

To continue from your words: "the thing is, i don't want a serious relationship, but maybe just a guy that i can enjoy his company and even go to a swinger club and have some fun this way, whether full swap or not."

-------------------------------

His quote word for word except take out your word guy, and insert his word lady.

-------------------------------

 

There are nice gentlemen out there who would love to find you. If you have been in the lifestyle off and on during your last 18 years, we would suggest that you might start with those friends assuming there would be no drama with them and your ex's. Others might tell you to begin your search online, but our words of wisdom would be extremely careful what you post about yourself and on which websites or other forums you search. The world is full of real nice people with a sprinkling of some not so nice mixed in.

Hi Jodi... I happen to live in MA, not very far from NJ. I read your post and the responses. I agree with all the advice you have been given here. BUT, don't give up looking on the Northern East Coast yet...LOL I have not been involved with the lifestyle as yet, but, would love to meet you sometime, just to discuss it. Would love to hear the "single" Lady's side of things.

 

Jst

I am guessing you are in your mid to late forties. As a single female in the LS you should have no problem making friends with couples. Get to know a few of them you like, develop a trust with them and let them know you are looking for a single male to play with on occasion. I am sure they will be able to give you some good advice on who to avoid and who is a good person. The swinger community, around here anyway, is tight nit and looks after each other.

Question to everyone:

When a lady and gentleman in this situation meet and intend to be "swinging buddies" for a while, would the men be expected to pay for club fees and other expenses?

Just curious on your perspective, because I am a recently divorced male and am looking for a partner to re-explore the scene with. Better to get a reading of what is considered proper...

 

Thanks a lot

Considering MOST clubs allow single females in free or at drastically reduced rates wheras single males are either never allowed or have to pay double the rates, it would stand to reason you should foot the bill.

For some reason, I am liking this a little better. I don't know why though...

IF I was a single swinging gal...

 

 

If I asked a single swinger guy to go out with me, I'd pay the way.

 

If the single swinger guy asked me to go out, he'd pay the way.

I think that "Equal Rights" doesn't apply when dating, whether in the LS, or not. Even if I am asked out by a lady, I still make an honest effort to pick up the tab, if she insists, at least I have tried. I may be "old-fashioned", but I still strongly believe in "chivalry", which includes respecting my date, being a gentleman, and opening the car/building doors.

I can only speak for myself but when I go to a party with my BF I expect him to pay the party fee. My thought is that if he went as a single male (assuming it is a party that even allows single males) it would cost him a lot more. That said, if we go out to dinner I often pick up the tab and we usually split the hotel bill if we stay somewhere overnight. I don't expect anyone to pay my way just because I am a woman.

      I'll be 50 this year and recently discovered my sexuality. I want to be able to be more spontaneous and not so inhibited about what I want in bed (and out of bed). I'm actually quite sexual but have largely surpassed that for years because of various reasons. There is a local swingers nudist resort that has day passes and I set it my goal to go to their pool this weekend. 
       
      I'm not sure if I'll have the guts to engage in any acts but if I can manage my anxiety I wouldn't mind playing with a girl. 
       
      Any recommendations for a first timer? Especially going on my own. I think I will be okay taking my top off at the pool but not sure how long it will take me to go completely nude. I'm super excited but also nervous. I want to have fabulous sex, have a better body image and stopping myself because of fear. Open to any and all suggestions, especially with how to manage anxiety and not chicken out
       
      Late Blooming Lesbian/BiSexual wanting to Play
    • By K&JIntimates
      I have single female friend that I've known for the last year and a half. We're pretty comfortable with each other and our kids play together on a regular basis. Over the last year I've had a couple of times when my 'playdar' has given a little bleep with her. Usually by something that she's said or a feeling that there is just something there that I couldn't quite put my finger on. You know what I'm talking about?
       
      Today we went out for coffee and were just talking, usual stuff, and she started talking about wanting to go to an event for a "meet & greet". I haven't been around too much to social events in the vanilla world but I've never heard this term used in any other format than swinging. So I asked her if she'd ever been to a meet and greet before. It might have been the way I said it but her body language and expression was kind of like omg did I say that? She didn't know about K and I and it was a reasonable response.
       
      She's very open minded and our relationship is good so I came out to her that K and I swing and had been to a M&G before. Come to find out that my friend, back in the days before she was married (and subsequently divorced) had led a very 'open' lifestyle. Interesting isn't it? *BEEP* *BEEP*
       
      When I told her that K and I swing and the parameters of our interactions with others she told me she had suspected something of the kind. So I invited her to come out with us some time to the club to enjoy an evening of dancing, a little wine, and (if she met someone she was interested in) a little play. She said she'd like to, just not right now. It's a busy time for everyone and I know that she's got some complications with her ex right now so I left it at an open invite. But that's also why I invited her, a little adult down time is sometimes just what you need.
       
      Her and I both really enjoy and respect our friendship (and that of our boys) and while we briefly discussed the possibility of a play date of the three of us we both decided that it is just that....a possibility. Why screw up a good thing? On the other hand, if our friendship takes a turn in that direction down the road it will (or will not) happen of its own accord.

      So we took in a very good friend about six weeks ago following a very ugly split with her ex. We have know both of them for about ten years and started playing together about three years ago. I actually have known her much longer and before we started hanging out as couples.
       
      Anyway, things have evolved to a point where we are sharing our bed 4-5 nights per week. We are playing together and separately. For example, in the morning it’s not unusual for me to come out of the shower and find her and my husband snuggling, touching and even fucking. I actually love seeing them together and have no feelings of jealousy. She and I are doing the same and actually took the day off Wednesday and simply spent the day in bed alone while he was at work. It’s not all about sex, but it’s clear that she really loves him and I think he feels the same about her. I know that I care deeply for her and may actually be in love as well.
       
      We prepare meals together, hang out in the evenings together, play together and still swing separately, but it is definitely decreasing. Everything feels very natural and relaxed and we are all content - have we found ourselves slipping into a true polyamorous relationship? I never really thought about it and we were talking about it last night.
       
      Thoughts? Warnings? This is uncharted territory.

      My wife and I have been in the swinging lifestyle about a year and a half now and it's been great. We have a friend we've know about a year and after a little encouragement from me and the wife she agreed to play with me. She's not comfortable playing with my wife home yet, so we always plan it when she's out. I think it may be going too far, though. We've gone out to dinner twice, alone, which my wife has told me no more. We talk almost everyday, hike and do stuff like that. I'm afraid this is becoming more than the FWB situation we agreed on.
    • By playfulchick89
      I have found someone I would like to be in more of a FWB situation rather than relationship but open to the possibility of it being long term. But labels aside, I've gotten the feeling my new friend has some reservations/hesitation because I'm married. He obviously knows this is okay, but I'm having a hard time getting him to follow through on meeting up since I asked him. Is there anything I should/could say or do to help ease his mind?
