Member of the Week - Olycouple

[gatorvol64]

This week's Member of the Week is Olycouple. We are glad to have them in the spotlight this week.

Swingers Board interviews are a way for us to get to know each other better. It is a way to acknowledge just how wonderfully varied a community we are. Every Sunday, a new interview will start and the old interview will be locked. Be sure to stop in and get to know them better by asking them every nosey, intimate, personal question you can think of.

Try to ask only one question (or group of questions) per post, to make it easier for the interviewee to answer the questions, and also to allow for others to ask their questions.

Try to keep this thread about the person being interviewed. If you want to comment about things you discover you have in common or just elaborate on a response, pm them and make a new friend or start a new thread about it. This is intended to be a friendly thread, so please don’t ask anything in a purposeful attempt to get a heated debate. Of course, nobody is required to answer a question that they do not want to.

Also, please keep in mind that any answers you post are viewable to complete strangers. There is some risk in that. Again, all questions are optional.

We'll start each interview with a few overview questions to get things started:

Gender (if not a couple):
If a couple, which one primarily posts:
Age(s):
Birthday(s):
Location:
Relationship status:
Swinging for how long?:
Prefer to swing with:
Biggest Pet Peeve:
Brief Intro:
Picture (if you feel comfortable sharing one):
Website (your own or one of your favorites):

Gender (if not a couple): Umm...let us check: she has an innie and he has an outie.

If a couple, which one primarily posts: He is much more apt to engage in forums...I do the blogging (mostly). She is on "sabatical" right now, though, so will answer for many of the interview questions. She likes to think she knows what he'd say, anyway. He has a cell phone. She'll call to confer.

Age(s): 31

Birthday(s): December (she) and March (he)

Location: Olympic Peninsula, Washington State

Relationship status: Right now, we like each other. We have to...it says so in several legal documents. And those pesky vows.

Swinging for how long?: Presidents Day weekend was our intro. Read about it here: http://www.swingersboard.com/forums/...hing-feet.html

Prefer to swing with: Reckless abandon! Actually, people with whom we have developed a relationship. This is like dating for us...if we aren't attracted to body, mind, and soul...we're out. Yah, it's picky, but we don't get screwed over that way...screwed maybe, but not screwed over. We are, however, susceptible to drinking too much and making bad decisions...just like when dating in the vanilla world.

Biggest Pet Peeve: I feel that I must define "pet peeve" for us: in the grand scheme of things, a pet peeve is something that doesn't really matter and doesn't effect the way the world tilts. We have a lot of likes and a lot of dislikes. A lot of things bug us. But pet peeves are rather silly. She: reader boards with bad or no punctuation (especially apostrophes...I wish I could carry around a little bag full of apostrophes and commas to hand out at random convenience stores and banks...just my way of helping the world be a little less dumb...and "such as"...). He: people who "do their taxes" in the left lane...never getting over, never moving to the right to let people by, just randomly jumping to the left lane to coast with no intention of or need to pass.

Brief Intro: "We are an open-minded couple looking for fun and like-minded friends." Okay, that makes me want to scream! Don't want to offend, but we see that in just about every profile we peruse. If we weren't open-minded, we wouldn't be here. If we weren't looking for like-minded people, who would we be looking for? People who disagree with us? Who think we're weird freaks? Duh! So let's just get to who we really are...we are professionals with big dreams and big goals who like to have sex with each other and really like to think about having sex with others...someday we'll actually get around to the "having" of sex with others...when our schedules get less busy and, well, let's face it, we meet the right couple and get loaded enough. Hmmm... does that sound crass? Oh well. It's who we are. We are smart, witty, high-brow, a bit snobby at times, juvenile, obscene, devious, and downright inappropriate. Our sarcasm is usually lost in translation via the "internets". Our humor is often dry and, while we are easily amused by each other, we find it is often the case that others do not appreciate or "get" it. We drink too much, go to bed too early, work too hard, and don't watch T.V. Very un-American. Some nights we eat 6 types of cheese and bread you have to slice yourself for dinner; we wash it down with a $3 bottle of red grocery store wine. Other nights it's a $200 dollar night out at a French restuarant. We love to consume...food, wine, each other...others... We have a tendency to be verbose; give us your ear and your time and we'll suck it in greedily. Yet, when we want to circle up the wagons and be by ourselves, you may be deemed and interloper and then shot with a watergun out from behind our fort made of couch cushions. Okay, not really...but we do like our time alone - maybe too much. That's probably why we are still looking for the right couple (or maybe it's the reference to Oregon Trail, which, let's face it, makes us look like dorks...and we are).

Picture (if you feel comfortable sharing one): Check our Swing Lifestyle profile!

Website (your own or one of your favorites): Ditto. Our name is "Olympiccouple".

And now, my pet peeve is going to come back and bite me in the ass. I am absolutely paranoid that there is a grammatical error in here somewhere. If there is...don't point it out...my other pet peeve is people who correct me. (Mrs. O)

Well, it was Mr. Oly's idea, but I'd kind of always had fantasies of a MFM and have been on/off bi-curious with the right inspiration. We are very open with each other and talk about what we want and our sexuality. Eventually, it just came to this. At first, I was pretty freaked out by the idea. Not that I thought it was "cheating"...I trust Mr. O too much for that. I just had "misgivings". Then he showed me this site. I did some reading/research and decided what "swinging" meant to me. Now we are defining what it means to US.

Mostly, we think the idea of swinging is appealing because it gives us the chance to see each other pleased in a way we can't when we're in the moment together. It opens the door to things we might not have thought of on our own. And it allows us a modicum of "naughtiness" in the security of each other's company.

We've been together since January of 2005. And we're just coming up on our anniversary.

Interesting question. There are a lot of ways. The easiest way to get him naked? Ask. The easiest way to get her naked? Red wine. More interesting ways? Sex games, turn up the heat with out us knowing, put on some porn...

I don't know...what would you do to get us naked? (Am I allowed to ask questions here? )

We are mountain folk. Heat is not our friend...which is why we live where we do. It's almost always temperate here. Plus, it's just plain beautiful with the mountains and the ocean, lakes, trees, etc. I can see the beauty of a desert, but I wouldn't want to live there (esp. in the summer!). I burn within minutes of being in the sun, even with 50 sunblock!

Oh, damn! Where?

[JustAskJulie]

Ok, you can talk my ear off anytime. I have to say I highly enjoyed your introduction, as well as all that you had to say.

So just what is your personal definition of swinging?
Are you strictly looking for couples? Single females? Males?

Well, as I'm the one home to answer, I'll do my best. Mr. Oly is at work, so he can add on if I miss anything.

Our definition of swinging is currently in formation. We truly are "newbies" here. We've been to one club, and we had a great time. At that time, we were trying to understand the difference between soft and full swap. We both knew we weren't ready for full swap, but the idea of being in the same room with others while having sex, watching them, being watched...was enticing and quite exciting when we actually did it. Now, we are within a stone's throw of our first couple experience. We have been taking things very slowly and talking every step of the way about what we want out of this and what we are considering doing with this couple...and a few others with whom we are speaking online.

So far, we have this: swinging for us is an augmentation of our already healthy sex life; we aren't yet a full swap couple...and won't be for awhile...but we'll probably get there someday; swinging is a continuum, of which we are on the conservative end; bi-curiousity is an element, and personal connection is a must. We aren't likely to swing (soft, full, or on a rope, for that matter) with people we don't know and haven't built a relationship with. We aren't polyamorous, but we have to know you well to "like" you, and we have to "like" you to "lust" after you. Love would complicate matters and it isn't what we're in this for at all. We get plenty of that from each other. Probably the easiest way I can see us getting in there "full-on" is just putting us in a big 'ol bed with some other bodies we trust, turning off the lights, and letting our hands and other essentials find what they will.

Have you guys always lived in Washington State?

I was born there and we will eventually be moving back. In fact my Avatar pic is from Lake Chelan.

Mr. Oly has, but I am a transplant...been here 6 years and love it. One of the most beautiful places on earth, if you ask me.

I think we are mostly in the market for couples, but I don't think we'd turn out a single female or male. We have fantasies that involve all 3 options and then some. In fact, we've been discussing how it might be easier with a single female or male, because with a couple, it's hard to know how to begin (but, then, we haven't begun yet, so maybe it'll be much easier than we think! ).
