Has Swinging changed your thinking/relationships/life?

Well not sure if our experience counts or not since we havent actually done anything yet..but we do feel that since we have actively started discussing swinging, we have been more "comfortable" with talking things out. So yeah atleast thats one positive any relationship could take.

the lifestyle has changed a few things in MRs. CXXC and my life, outlook and professional views.

Mrs. CXXC thanks me often for "giving" her the gift of Eros. I didnt give her anything! We simply accepted a desire within each other and acted upon it. If anything, She gave me freedom to act on that desire more than I had given it to her.

Having this freedom, we are now a thousand times more open with one another about virtually everything. The lifestyle even prepetuated a change in the way we communicate with each other and our friends, families and co-workers.

The sexual side of our lives was the last stronghold of secrecy between us. Having torn down these walls, we are now able to look at virtually everything in our lives, together, openly and freely discuss matters otherwise thought of as too personal.

Think about it! Your wife holds your penis and places it into another womans mouth/vagina. How much more open can you get? It only follows that the spoken communications will be equally open.

Mrs. CXXC, although quite a beautiful woman, had always felt less than pretty. Well, not any more. The confirmation she has received nearly every day by so many people in E-mail, phone, and in person has snapped that false matter entirely.

for me, each time I am with another woman, I have the oportunity to improve myself as a lover. This works on my personal worth as well. I feel I have become a worthy lover and this adds to my self actualization. Im not such a bad guy! HA HA

For both Mrs. CXXC, there is a great deal of self confidence that is gained from the lifestyle. It passes on through our personal and proffesional lives.

We take better stock of our physical well being due to a desire to be in the best possible shape and health for our potential lovers. this makes things even better when it is just us! More stamina, more energy, more passion, more, more, more! FUN!

That is how we see the changes in our lives due to the lifestyle.

We've just begun to consider swinging. I believe that at this point we are pretty much sold on the idea. Thanks in part to reading everything here.
I can say for myself that it has changed me in a lot of basic ways already, before even actually having any experiences and having only redefined our expectations for our marriage. The way that I deal with everyday people for instance. 3 minutes ago I had a passing conversation with a woman who works in the same office complex while having a smoke outside. I found myself relaxed and flirtatious where a few weeks ago I would have been constantly careful of not giving wrong impressions. My mind set has totally changed. Communicating with my partner about how this is for us and how she is the most important person in my life without exception, no matter what, and both deciding that we want to be open to new things has been like lifting a huge weight off my shoulders. I feel a lot more relaxed all the time and boy did I need that.
I'm thinking that this is really for us and I'm excited about the entire scene.
We are still working out the details and we are being careful to get off on the right foot but just to have gotten to a point where my wife is open to the idea and actually a bit excited about it is just awesome.
