Christian couple, how we started with swinging.

Hey, it's tn_softswing2 again. After all the searching we did, we found out we had what we had been looking for all along: EACH OTHER. And that's enough. Take care all.........

tn_softswing2, what does this mean? Did you decide lifestyle isn't for you? Please come back and share, if you're able.

Why "needless to say?" What was wrong with them? The cloven hooves putting runs in the stockings? And honestly, why does religious belief even come up as a topic when meeting potential sexual playmates? I don't get it.

Oh well, to each his own. Personally, religious beliefs aren't exactly at the top of the list when it comes to selecting partners. (Full disclosure: I consider myself a pagan) I won't even mention politics when chatting up a new couple, and believe me, that matters a lot more to me.

I agree - politics and religion should stay out of all conversations! My kids and I are very involved in our church - we volunteer every Sunday at 5am! So my husband and I usually leave Friday nights for date night. Once in a while I'll take a Sunday off, like this Sunday, so we can go out on Saturday!

Now, my only dilemna is the church sticker on my mini-van. It's on the outside. So hubbie tries to park out of the way and back in, so no one sees it. I don't care that they know someone goes there, but I can just see an anonymous email the church "so one of your members goes to a swing club....". So I have to find something I can put over it when we do go the club. Can't take it off - my sons would buy another one for .25 and stick it on there!

NCfun,

If the sticker is on the body of the vehicle, get a magnetic sign that is neutral to stick over it. If it is on the glass, maybe a window cling for something neutral.

More people have been killed under the auspices of religion than for any other reason. The Crusades, WWII, even most of the current wars being fought can be boiled down to religious differences. Both of us were brought up very conservative in very religious homes (protestant ministers in both). We do not go to church. I am an athiest. This does not make me a bad person, it makes me an indiviual who is capable of making a free choice about what to believe. Just as an aside, the freedom of choice is how judeo-christians explain horrors such as child molestation. Religion is not a determinant of good or evil. Actions determine if a person is good or evil. Politics do not determine if a person is good or evil. We can disagree with a person about politics, religion, or child rearing methods and still find common ground in other areas. Swinging is about sex and friendship (for some of us). Maybe Tnswing did mean that they are no longer going to engage in the lifestyle because they have found that they have truly found each other and that is exactly what they want. No one else is going to have the exact same views as they do and if they do find someone who does, why "step out" there?

Politics and religion - great subjects to debate to pass the time on a long car ride with a close friend, terrible subjects for polite conversation in a social situation!!

War is the bloody end of " Politics".
Reality is that most of the wars related to religion, were not over religious belief or doctrine, but to politics, and everyting related to the inability of man to live up to the ideals called for by religion itself. Greed, wealth, resources, land, ethnicity, race and on and on. We could list every war related to mankind and research the root causes you will find religion was the lesser of the real reasons behind them, even if religion was used to justify their anti religious actions..
Atheist cultures like The soviet union, had no problem with war and mass murder. Stalin killed more of his own people than Hitler, yet we don't talk about that. Communist regimes have routinely mass murdered others whom they suspect may have differing opinions.
Lets at least be honest, War is a result of mans inhumanity to man, not God or some image of a god, egging us on to kill one another.

With this I very much agree. And, as a matter of fact, I'm thinking that the exchanges of ideas in this thread are coming too close to a debate on these hot-button subjects. We should move away from the edge a bit.

To: tn_softswing2: Whatever leads a married couple to more profound understanding of each other is good. I applaud you on your decision.

Funny, I'm pretty sure I ran across their profile when searching profiles the other day. I remember this exact statement. Small world.

[tn_softswing2]

Lustylearning, we meant that swinging was fun and we seemed to be more alive than we had in years. However, what it boiled down to was we learned much more (or either RE-discovered) than we had known. We're not sorry it happened, it was a good learning experience. We just decided that we didn't need it to start with: we had each other all along. We made some great friends and do still keep up with them. WE (the two of us) had let our passion diminish, swinging definitely cranked it up again, as we posted in our first note. And it's still cranked up. No problems.

Only time will tell.........

Glad you found something special

[tn_softswing2]

Just wanted to post that we have continued to get together with our friends and are enjoying their company in and out of the bedroom. We still like going to the swing socials but haven't done full swap with any other couples. The 'lifestyle' is great for enjoyment for both of us and keeps our passion alive. Where else can you find un-hibited folks?

Good to hear from you. Warms my heart to read it.
