We've never been to someone else's house (yet) for swinging, and have never invited anybody to our house. Finally, we've met a great couple that have no kids anywhere near and often entertain at their home. We have made plans with them. The downside is that they live an hour away. We're invited to stay overnight in the guest room, but personally, I'm not comfortable with that. I'd rather leave than do the whole extended breakfast thing the next day.

The #1 reason we don't entertain at home, and also a reason I'd rather not sleep over at other's houses, is that we have a teen at home. Staying out all night long would be very suspicious, while staying out late draws no attention. When we are empty-nesters (very good and empty), things may change about entertaining at home. Until then, no. We keep our swing/private life very separate from family life. With us, it's almost always in hotels for now. We would play in clubs, but there are none anywhere near us, so those are the rare out-of-town weekend trips.

We have no kids, and love having people over for all things fun, whether they are vanilla get-togethers or swinging get-togethers. The only caveat is that we have to spend a little time (a few hours) with a couple first to make sure we think they are upstanding people.

Regarding the need to clean up first, having people over is great in that way too. Mr. Fuse and I are both SLOBS. Having people over provides the motivation to clean. Guests are welcome to stay the night, but haven\'t yet because they are the ones who have kids.

We used to be uncomfortable with the idea because we worried about showing our home off to others... It's an old house and it has it's charms but it's still an old house (101 years old).

We got over it. If people are want to stay over, it's no big deal. We don't have children so there's little to worry about other than people thinking our house is old and small. Once they've been in it, they already know that so we'd rather have them stay over than pull a DUI or drive while they are tired.

I'd like to, but my son is home.

Pattie is allergic to cats so we like to stay home. We do like to travel but home is nice.. Almost anybody would welcome to stay. Just don't step on the dog. He is the big black spot on the floor. Patrick Pattie

Hi.Mr.Telly2 here.

We have to say never.Not to be nasty,and not just because of the kids.My father-in-law(her dad) Owns the house and lives with us.Could you see trying to explain that to an old italian man?

Otherwise,we would.

If it was not for the children, i would love to have a party at my home. facelick .Maybe when they are out of the house, I'll start having parties at the house. just depends if i'm still in the life-style.

We just can't entertain at our house. Laurie's mother just went through a nasty divorce and is living with while she recovers financially. I think she has a pretty good idea what we do but shes a traditional religious woman and she pretends she doesn't.
In return for that courtesy we don't rub her nose in it. The things we do for domestic harmony!

We are always very hospitable and make our guest feel so comfortable that it's not uncommon for them to spend the entire night. . . .

We love to entertain at home, enjoy having guests overnight and seem to have encountered a set of friends who also like to entertain at their homes. Maybe it's the age category we're in -- the childrent have grown and left home.

We love to have folks over.....we have a comfy house with a nice heated pool. The only thing we lack is bedspace (although we make up for it with some quality air mattresses! LOL)

MrVan and I love to entertain at our home. We do have children but those weekends when our children are with our ex's is when we play and those are the times we invite them over. We tell our oldest ones that if they need anything for the weekend that they will need to do it Friday night and then call if they need to "pop in" to pick something up.

For couples where we have become really good friends with, we will have them come over to play and then stay the night if they wish. We are never in a hurry to get rid of our friends and you never know, everyone may be up for another play session the next day. facelick

We have had cookouts during the summer where we invited lifestyle and vanilla friends as our children were around but we never did anything during those cookouts it was just friends getting together and many times they had children and all our children would play together while the adults hung out.

Well, on the one hand we have in-laws living in an in-law/duplex setup, so while they're not exactly living with us...in reality, they're living with us. Really cool people, but they're waaaay too close for comfortable playtime with anyone other than ourselves. Our house is 150 years old, so the walls aren't exactly soundproof either, and with back-to back bathrooms...well, you do the math Luckily, at least the bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house...

Then on the other hand, we have two varieties of daughter living with us...the sophomore in college type and the just-turned-10-last-Friday type, both with friends who come and go (and sometimes stay) without much notice. The foot traffic in here can get pretty heavy pretty quickly. So needless to say, we never host and voted that way in the poll.

Small Town . Too many eyes and hears watching and listening to every move

[lookingfornow]

We would love to have couples over and look forward to the day that we can. We much prefer playing in someone's home. Hotels are so... [fill in your own word] It is not the expense.

However, we have kids, an in-law and a nanny in our home. So, for the moment, not possible.
