What is your reaction when your find out that your children have been swinging? There have been a few posts regarding what you do when your children find out that you have been playing with other couples and swapping mates for sex. There was post on this Board a while ago that said that the younger generation, 20 years old and up, in large numbers, have been swinging.That is certainly plausible since the younger generation is sexually more liberated.

 

There is a swinger story posted on this Board, a while ago, where the middle-aged mom and dad visit a couples' club and run into their two sons and a daughter with their spouses. They all go home together in two cars and the son-in-law (sil) plays with his mother-in-law (mil) while in the car on the back seat. When they all get home the sil fucks the mom (mil) and the daughters-in-law fuck the dad or father-in-law. The family has a great time. We can't vouch for the veracity of the story, but it may be true.

 

We have not run into our kids in a swing club yet. However, we do not doubt that they may be swinging and would'nt bother us one bit if we found out. The reason for this post is:

 

A vanilla couple (J and S) we know just recently found out that their two daughters, married about two years ago, had played along with their respective hubbies, and swapped their mates with another couple or couples, and, had sexual intercourse with other partners. The wife was so distraught when she found out (we do not know how) that the girls and their hubbies were swinging and fucking other mates, that I thought there was some calamity in the family, or at least a potential divorce. The daughters and their husbands are well educated, sofisticated, and, we are sure, have a secure marriage. That's certainly our judgement, having known the family for many years.

 

The wife asked me what she could do about her daughters and son-in-laws doing this "immoral thing" and having sexual intercourse with someone other than between their own married partners. She is certainly aware that her daughters have been sexually active for a long time and have played with and have been fucked by their boyfriends during college years when they dated. We do know from other reliable sources that the daughters and their hubbies do swing and do full swap of mates. We both just think that swinging for a young mature married couple, which they are, to the best of our judgement, is very healthy. Nothing to worry about and get bent out of shape like the mom did.

 

Since I don't know how to address J's concerns without blowing our cover-the couple does not know that we swing too-we are looking for suggestions on how to address her concerns in a meaningful way.

 

Please help with any ideas to put the mom at ease.

I have seen many post here over the years. "Our sex life is no business of our kids."

 

Since you are not inclined to be truthful with the lady you may just want to turn that around and explain to her that her kids are grown adults and what they do sexually really is not her business any longer either. Ask her if she feels her kids would approve of everything she has done and hid in her life. Once she says NO you have made your point and maybe she will leave it alone.

 

In reality, this is one you just might want to stay away from. Getting in the middle of others family matters normally does not come out well for anyone.

Good advice. But,

 

Actually, she (mom) is a very attractive lady and hubby would love to fuck her, if we could get the couple J&S to swing and full-swap mates with us.

Well, if they're friends, you could say that you've done some research and found some websites (like this one) that might give her some more insight.

 

Then, while the two of you are discussing the websites it would bring up the subject and you'll get a feel of whether her and her husband might be candidates.

So you want to bed down a lady that is already freaking out about the fact that her adult kids are swinging?

 

Not one of the smartest idea's I have ever read in these forums. A bit of common sense needs to come into play here. She turns to you guys as a friend to help and all you can do is think of a way to fuck her. :eek: Sounds like she needs to find some new friends.

From what you have written about her, it sounds to me like if you even HINT at the possibility that you would like to swing with them, you will just confirm all the immoral qualities she ascribes to swingers.

They already have a feel for that. It's an emphatic no.

 

Since their kids are swinging, the seed is planted. I think it's unlikely to grow into anything close to swinging. But, there's nothing that ratimadan can do to help that along.

 

I'm with what several other people said. Those parents can't do anything to affect their children's behavior, now that they are adults. Any attempt to do so will have negative consequences. What they can do is decide how they react to it. For instance, they could choose not to babysit grandkids. Babysitting them could enable their daughters to swing. It won't stop them swinging; they'll just find another baby sitter. But, they can choose not to be involved in enabling it. Of course, that means not seeing the grandkids anywhere near as much (assuming there are grandkids).

 

You can't control people. All you can do is manage how you respond to them.

I think you might point out, not that it's "none of mom's business," but that it's nothing she can do anything about. Why waste time fretting about it?

I think this sort of situation highlights a lack of 'need to know'. Parents don't have a need to know that you swing. My mother-in-law is an awesome lady. I'm quite sure she would be pretty receptive to the idea of her daughter and son-in-law being in swinging. It probably wouldn't phase her too much. In fact, she'd probably be happy to babysit the kids, knowing she was doing it so we could go have sex play with others.

 

But, she doesn't have a need to know. We wouldn't gain any benefit from her knowing that we do not enjoy now. Plus, there are potential drawbacks.

 

If my kids get into swinging, I won't have a need to know either. My kids don't have a need to know that I'm a swinger. If we happy to bump into them at a swinger event, we'll of course work it out. If done right, I wouldn't mind my kids being swingers at all, but I also wouldn't want to even accidentally watch them engaged in sex play with someone else. So, we'd have to set some place&date rules. In that situation they'd have a need to know. But otherwise? No need to know.

The only reason that I could possibly see to ever know if my kids were swinging would be to be there as a resource for information or advice if needed....and honestly, they probably wouldn't need it or take it anyhow.

Goodness! What a mess! I would have to agree with the others and just gently tell her that regardless of her moral beliefs, that her children are grown and married and only accountable of their actions to themselves. Mom has no control over them at this stage in life. Maybe you can tell her that she could sit down and talk with them and let them know her feelings, if she feels inclined, but that she also has to understand this is their lives, not hers. A mother is supposed to love her children unconditionally. That doesn't mean they always have to agree. I wish I had some better words of wisdom, but that's all I have! :)

 

Edited to add: Also, if she is religious, just tell her to pray for them, but not to judge. Do not judge lest ye be judged yourself. (That is what HH said to add in.)

Thats why fucking J (the mom) will remain just a harmless dream for hubby. They are a fine couple for socializing but not for swapping mates to have sexual intercourse with.

I've seen many posts here over the years of folks who DID run into their children at clubs, and I've known (in person) a few couples who have found out that the parents or in-laws swing and vice versa. In those cases, I don't see the issue. Just be out with it and make a plan to avoid each other at events if necessary. But, be honest.

 

THe situation the OP here described was a vanilla couple finding out their children swing. That's another store. And then she comes to a swinger asking for advice on what to tell her kids - that's funny. SO what advice did you give? Personally, had I been in your shoes, my advice would have been "their sex lives really aren't any of your business. But, since you think it's so immoral maybe you should sit them down and give them the litany of things they do that you think are wrong. Is it really risk losing your relationship with your child over proving that you are right and what they are doing is wrong? Or wouldn't it be better to love them anyway and treat them the same?".

Goodness Knows that I love you Julie!!! Good reply! I have to agree 100%.

 

Would it bother me to find out my child was a swinger? Probably. But that would end soon as I would have to think, The apple does not fall far from the tree. If my child had a different BF/GF every month, would it make me think aobut his/her sexual activities with each one? Probably not. I would not council my child on their sexual activitiy, I would speak of the need to find the right person. After finding the right person, if that relationship is strong enough (only they will know) to engage in swinging, who am I to council them unless asked for advice. Even then, that would be a very strange situation.

 

I think the most difficult part for me would be making certain we were not at the same parties. I can just imagine the awkwardness. LOL!!!

Now we have discussed this maybe happening to us when our kids are older and all that. We also have friends that have their kids in the lifestyle too. They just sit down with them and make sure that they don't share the same playmates and or go to the same club that night.. and all is fine. They don't ask or talk about who they went to go see.. or ask for details.... but they also don't tell them how to live either.

 

Now both of our parents know what we do by our choice. I didn't want them finding out some other way and them being shocked or hurt from it so we laid it out on the table. I really wish we didn't now... but hey... when it comes to my MILl... who is close to the same as the 'ohh no.... what do I do ' mom she does things all wrong... trys to control us. My advice would be to tell her they are still her kid(s) and to love them regardless of what they do sexually. Most that are against it are always saying how it's going to kill the marriage and ruin this and that... well in my case it's her that is messing up the marriage, not the swinging. So tell her to love them either way... and just not come over for surprise visits on weekends and or ask for details on friends and all will be fine.

Moms seem to always have the hardest time allowing their children grow up and become adults. The Dad has probably already told the mother to just leave them kids alone, it's none of her business.

 

She comes to you with the issue because she didn't hear what she wanted to hear from the Dad.

 

You should stay out of it.

First off, lets ask the biggest question that came to my mind while reading the ORIGINAL POST

 

What in the hell, A "vanilla" couple finds out thier children are in the lifestyle and they came and asked the OP? Are you out to these people? If so, using terms like Immoral is a great way to win freinds and influence others, Esp in the lifestyle.

 

We all "hear" stories of people running across relatives, and siblings within the lifestyle, even more so in the past 10 yrs. The unbelievable example of parents taking son im laws and daughter in laws to bed well , it might make for good erotica, but in reality, would make for a very uncomfortable family life afterwards.

 

While not sharing Blood, they do share blood ties with these people and as such, lets hope the unique example is a work of fiction.

 

We had suspicions of our son and daughter in law flirting with the lifestyle, but didnt tip our hand. After much discussion we decided to cross that bridge when we came to it. Freinds within the lifestyle told us of thier son and daughter in law being into it as well, they deal with it simply by sharing in advance where they are going so thier paths dont cross.

 

Julie is correct, while today the possiblities are higher, So are the chances that you wont run into each other given the increased avalablity of the clubs.

Perhaps, that's the way to put it honestly and bluntly, but I would rather not throw fuel on fire! Counceling the wife is beyond our ken. Perhaps, psychological counceling with a sex therapist might help.

 

However, I did point out (when we met and things had cooled off somewhat) very gently, that young adult girls and boys are no longer virgins when they marry. Likely, "your daughters and their hubbies have engaged in sexual intercourse with other males/females prior to marriage". Moreover, I said, swinging and swapping mates with other couples for sexual intercourse is gaining acceptance in the society (no longer a stigma) for couples young and old, and with the younger generation, particularly. What is important is that the young married couples are happy and contented with their social and sexual life. The underlying message: the world has changed and recreational sex for a couple with other partner/s, one is not married to, has gained acceptance and is definitely not considered a "sin".

 

Hopefully, the mother got the message. We have been good vanilla friends with this couple, particularly, us ladies. Not too surprising that she vented her anger, and, it could be that she was looking for some rationale from a good friend she trusts to calm her agitated mind.

 

:rolleyes:

      My wife and I love skinny dipping after our youngest is in bed. We have a daughter in college that comes home on some weekends.

      One weekend recently, she surprised us by coming home early after being out with friends and caught my wife and I in the pool, no swim suits of course. She wasn’t freaked out, she actually was cool about it and hung out by the pool a while. She asked if we would mind if she got in for a swim, we said of course. She went in the house(we thought to get in a swim suit of course)  and she came back out wearing a towel which she soon revealed that she also was nude. She is 20 by the way. She said since  we were skinny dipping it would be ok for her to as well. My wife was totally fine with it. I’m ok with it, it just caught me by surprise and off guard to say the least  to the point where I couldn’t look at her at first since it was my daughter. That went away after a bit.
       
      This is the first time she’s went completely nude with us. My wife and I go nude around the house all the time and she would just go around in a T-shirt and panties when she lived at home and when she comes home now. She never had shown an interest in anything more than that before. Am I just over reacting since it was the first time she’s done that and I’m trying to process it? She’s been a free spirit since she was little,  so it shouldn’t be a surprise to me. She knows we’re swingers and we’re both bisexual and she thinks that’s awesome, so I don’t know why I reacted the way I did with the skinny dipping. Any ideas and opinions are welcome

      This exchange is interesting to me, for reasons I state below. I didn't want to derail that thread.

Both my partners come to my office and visit and I go to lunch with both, sometimes at the same time. Coworkers either don't suspect anything, don't want to ask or don't care. All my partners and their families are welcome at my family's functions, also. It feels good to be "out" and just lived life as I want to.
       
       
      From Drinnt:
       
      THAT must be an amazing feeling! My wife and I are 6 months into what has become and exclusive polyamorous relationship. They have a family and kids and discretion is important to them. We have no kids and frankly would LOVE my family and friends to know so we could have our lovers around and involved in our extended "non secret" lives. Our family and friends KNOW about our lover couple but they think they are vanilla friends...maybe they suspect something but it's never discussed. I just think it would be an amazing feeling to be OUT with it. "
       
       
      Over the last year I have become become close with a very fun and enjoyable woman. Started as a swinging but progressed past a sexual attraction very quickly. She and her longtime boyfriend and my wife have also become close friends, although not romantic. Together we are great friends and do a lot of vanilla stuff together. It's not a poly relationship between all four of us, my wife and he have no feelings beyond friendship for each other. Nothing is hidden between us adults, but we haven't shared anything with our kids. They have no kids, we have two. Frankly, it is difficult at times to keep up the facade that nothing is going between her and I. Teenagers are more perceptive than we think. My son, who is 18, knows we swing, but he doesn't know or at least hasn't let on that he knows about our poly relationship. Our 12 year old daughter knows nothing about swinging or anything beyond the fact that we have some close friends. However it is going to be difficult to keep from her long term. Sometimes my wife says we should come out and tell the kids whats going so we don't have to tip-toe around anything. Her take on this is colored her gay brother who is "out" to the siblings but not to his parents. It causes a lot of grief and stress explaining why he is 48 and never married. (his mother probably knows but they all prefer to ignore it.) She thinks he should just tell her. What experiences have you with coming out? What pitfalls to avoid? Should we just stay closeted and enjoy it for what it is?

      Female half of a poly couple here. My hubby of seven years and I have recently welcomed Angie (a 25 year old woman) into our marriage. We have a very busy household with our 2 small children (3 and 5 year old boys). Angie is now expecting my hubby's first child. We are all excited about her pregnancy. She is now 7 months and hubby is very excited for sure. How do others tell their existing children about the impending arrival??

      There was topic the other day about what to do with all there swinging photos/videos. Well this past Christmas holiday my husband got himself a new computer, he follow the basic installation. while installing he installed OneDrive. A few days later our daughter saw a new icon on her laptop with the OneDrive icon and saw us in one of are "parties" from 2016. Hubby didn't realize he put it in shared mode.  She kinda freak out and call us to her room and explain ourselves and what we are doing. At that point since the cat is out of the bag, we told her the truth and about us and our lifestyle and what we have done. She was asking us a whole lot of questions and we were honest to all her questions. During all this confession, our daughter told us that she is bi too, only since June 2021, and told us her first time happen in a foursome with her ex bf at the time and her bff and her bf in a after school prom party. During the Covid lock down she felt bored and wishes to try new stuff. So with her friends and all four agree to try something new and try the foursome. She told us that she like the experience and she and them continued to have experience with three and four some till my daughter broke up with her bf ( for other reason) and she continued to have threesome with her bff and bf ever once and a while.
       
      Recently she ask us that she wanted to try it and become a swinger and see what it was like. She ask us if it ok with us to take her to 1 of our local clubs for her 19 birthday in March  (legal age where we are from) and (if there no other delay in opening thing open up).

      It was something we did not expect to be ask from her. I was speechless for the first time in a long time. I did not know how to answer her. I know I need to give her answer soon. I know I can not keep dodging the question and I need to answer her soon. 

      We haven't told any of our swingers friends about her and her request . She the oldest of all our swingers friends who have kids. We never really talk about it, our kids life, We do not know if any of our swingers friends haved shared their personal life to there own kids.

      We know our daughter is adult, gonna be 19 in March, old enough to make her own choices in life. We trust her judgment.

      If we do not give her our blessing we don't how she will react, she might go off and go own her own without any real knowledge of the people she hang out with. And if we do give our blessings we know that she will be safe with people and places that we know and we can give her the best advice we can.

      We are aware that if we do give our blessings there a good chance that she might be "playing" with are swingers friends. And we are ok with that. It all part of the Swinger lifestyle. Different people, different ages, everyone there having a good time.

      Our question to you all is, how do we proceed, do we give her our blessings or not. Any parents here that had similar situation happen to them. And any people here who has swingers parents ? what was it like knowing that your parents were swingers. What was it like knowing the  truth about them.

      Thank you for your time in reading this long text. And thanks in advance for the replies.
