Given the greenlight to play alone

Recommended Posts

Hello all. It's been a while since I posted last, but I've been around, just reading the forums and gathering some great information that has been tremendously helpful. Now, I find myself looking for some input and I know you guys are a wealth of info. I apologize for the long post.

 

My wife and I have a good sex life. It's pretty vanilla, but getting more and more adventurous all the time. We've been together for 10 years, but it's only in the last two years that I really began to express the full depth of my needs and desires to her. We then began to discover that, sexually speaking, we're a bit mis-matched. I have a very high sex drive and a deep interest in pushing my boundaries. She likes sex, but doesn't desire it nearly as often as I do and is much more reserved. Fortunately, however, she's very open-minded and we've been able to have a lot of conversations about this.

 

I started being much more up-front with her about how often I wanted to have sex and about things I would like to try. I told her about my porn collection and daily masturbation habits. And I told her of my interest in the lifestyle. None of this stuff shocked her and she's been embracing some of it. We now frequently watch porn together and have started bringing more toys into our sex. She even agreed to go to a nude lifestyle resort with me so long as I promised that there would be no pressure for her to do anything other than lay out by the pool. By all rights, she's been very accommodating and our sex life has improved significantly.

 

This past Saturday morning, we were drinking coffee and having a great conversation about the sex we had had the night before. We had tried something new, but there also had been a couple of things that I wanted to try that she was not interested in. Regarding this, she said she thinks it would be good if I could go out and do those things with other girls. She explained that she knows I love her and that sex and love are different things and that I am always honest with her. She said she knows I have a much higher sex drive than she does and that if I could go out and get some of my needs met by others, that it would take a lot of pressure off of her to be something that she's not. "There are just some things that I'm not really into," she said. "So if you can go do them with other people, then you can get what you want and I don't have to do something I don't want to do." There was no doubt in my mind that she was being completely honest and that there was no hesitation in her voice. She wasn't just saying it. When I told her that I wouldn't want to go have "affairs" and that I'd prefer to meet people in the lifestyle. She liked that even better and suggested that she might some day be interested too.

 

Given that she's so supportive of the idea, I feel like I'd be foolish not to explore my options in the LS. So let me ask you all the following questions:

 

1) Is it a red flag for couples in the LS to see a married guy playing alone if their wife is aware of the situation and is willing to verify that fact?

 

2) What is the best way to represent myself in an SLS profile? Obviously, my profile is single, but should I state the fact that I'm actually married in my profile or wait to tell people that until after contact is made?

 

3) As a married man playing alone, with no experience in the LS, am I just too bad bet for most people? Do I even stand a chance given the insane number of single men out there? Can the fact that I'm married actually be considered a good thing for some people?

 

Any advice would be much appreciated! If you happen to look my my SLS profile, I already know that I need a photo, but any other input is very welcome. Thanks so much!!

I would be happy to play with a married man if I was able to meet his wife first and verify she is on board with the situation. If this is the case with you I would state that in your profile.

 

I am more interested in playing with men who have experience in the lifestyle, but you have to start somewhere. Good luck to you.

1) Is it a red flag for couples in the LS to see a married guy playing alone if their wife is aware of the situation and is willing to verify that fact?

 

There are plenty of married guys playing alone, and a significant number of them will assert they are playing with permission. In every case that my wife and I have been contacted by such men, when we said we'd want to have in person confirmation from his wife, he vanished without a trace. We remain skeptical of such claims. That said, if we COULD in-person verify with his wife that she is happy and willing for him to play solo, then yes it would be fine.

 

2) What is the best way to represent myself in an Swing Lifestyle profile? Obviously, my profile is single, but should I state the fact that I'm actually married in my profile or wait to tell people that until after contact is made?

 

I don't know there is a best way. Personally, I prefer honesty. Something like, "This profile shows me as single, but I am married playing solo. My wife is happy with this, and you can confirm this with her in person if you like before we play".

 

 

3) As a married man playing alone, with no experience in the LS, am I just too bad bet for most people? Do I even stand a chance given the insane number of single men out there? Can the fact that I'm married actually be considered a good thing for some people?

 

You're not a bad bet just because you're single, with no experience. We all have to start somewhere. Yes, you stand a chance, but you're going to have to work at it to make your chances as high as possible.

 

My wife and I look for single men. We do quite a bit of filtering before even contacting a given single male. If the profile is short, one or two sentences in each section, then we pass him by. If the profile is fraught with many misspellings, we pass him by. Face it, a profile is your BEST foot forward. If you can't be bothered to fix spelling, you're probably not worth our time. If there are telltales of being married playing without permission, we pass them by. There's a number of other criteria we use, but those are more important to us specifically rather than abstractly.

 

My wife and I have been looking for quite some time for a perfect second man for her. A married man, playing solo with confirmed permission from his wife, would certainly be acceptable to us. Having him as a regular playmate would be great, and might be ideal for the approving wife; her husband isn't playing around with dozens of women every year, but instead spending most or all of his sex time without her with one woman. For some women that can be less threatening, for others more.

 

Something to consider; it's not very likely you're going to find single females to play with. Your activities are almost certainly going to be with other couples.

 

The thing here is that good...really good...single males are hard to come by in the lifestyle. They are as elusive as the fabled unicorn (single bi female in the lifestyle). Make yourself out to be that really good single male, and you will find yourself in good situations.

 

Another thing too is that you, as a single male, may not have that many playing opportunities. If you find a great couple to play with, and their wife really enjoys you and wants to keep playing with you, then you have also found a great situation that you shouldn't walk away from, so long as you and your wife are comfortable too.

 

Any advice would be much appreciated! If you happen to look my my Swing Lifestyle profile, I already know that I need a photo, but any other input is very welcome. Thanks so much!!

 

Ah! Ok just seeing your profile now. So far, so good. So, you've had a profile up since late September. Have you received any contacts?

I'll second what bbarnsworth said , so far so good from what I see, I would also suggest to add something about contacting your wife to verify is ok.

 

I know if we were looking for a single male (for MFM), we would definitely want to contact the wife if it appears the male was married. We wouldnt have a problem with someone who was married, as long as the spouse confirmed it and appeared to be comfortable with the confirmation.

I would wait for "someday" if I was you.

 

What's the hurry, why not wait until you can share in the adventure.

 

I could go on and on about this but not into it this morning.

 

Good luck.

Vegas Lee has nailed it as usual.

 

In my opinion, swinging is not about sex itself. It's about the enhancement it brings to a marriage. If it's not equal for both spouses, it's not something I'd like to do.

 

Since my wife died, I find myself interested in swinging only to the extent that my experience might help others. Playing without Laura doesn't interest me.

As you have already heard from the prior responses, be open and honest, and you may find success.

 

Playing with an individual such as yourself, has happened in the past. With the full knowledge and consent of his wife. Curiously, it did evolve into all four of us playing, eventually.

Thanks for the input, folks. I think for the time being that I will stay primarily focused on further improving the play time with my wife. At the same time, I'll make improvements to my SLS profile, but will lay fairly low. I know most couples prefer to find single men over being contacted by them anyway. If someone makes contact with me, I'll just take it a step at a time and make sure my wife stays in the loop. That way she will have plenty of opportunity to express any unforseen discomfort, reaffirm her support, or maybe find some interest of her own. I want to explore, but I want to do it right. At this point, it sounds like a slow, almost passive approach would be best.

This is one of the reasons why we want to get permission from the wife in person. Body language will speak a LOT more about what her wishes are than what her voice says.

 

At this point, it sounds like a slow, almost passive approach would be best.

 

It probably is. Your wife has given consent for you to play alone. But, a greenlight in discussion is not a greenlight in emotion, and a greenlight doesn't necessarily stay lit once lit.

 

It will probably require more discussion, more though, and more time to digest all of this. You both are entering a new world of possibilities. Your wife can say she's comfortable with you playing alone, but the reality once you're out the door off to have sex with someone else may very well be the opposite. You don't know yet. It's ok to go slow. There's no time limit, no finish line to reach.

 

Something else to consider; sometimes there are a couples that are looking for another male to play with, but aren't so much interested in having the wife of the other couple to play with. Nothing wrong with that if they and you two are both fine with it. There would be an opportunity there for your wife to come along and watch the fun then. She wouldn't have to be involved, and can just enjoy watching. There are some people on this forum who do exactly that.

I could see that potentially happening with us too with the right couple. Right now she says she's really only interested in other women, but is a bit scared of pursuing it.

 

I wish we had some friends in the LS already that we could just chat with about it. I think it would go a long way with sparking my wife's interest if it was a couple she knew and was comfortable with. Maybe eventually I'll find us some.

I figure if you and your spouse are OK with playing alone, fine. But, while the popular saying is "never say never", I can faithfully say no matter what my wife and I do in this "lifestyle", we're a package deal. ;)

Yes, agree with Vegas Lee. My wife was not interested, no how no way. But I did talk her into the topless pools in Vegas and she did enjoy hanging out at the topless pool at Mandalay Bay. And the next day she hung out at the topless pool wearing only a thong.

 

The next year we went to Desire and hung out naked and enjoyed that environment (no swapping) then a year or so later a lifestyle club, then a profile on SLS, then soft swap, then full and finally the never of nevers she had her first girl-girl experience...and enjoyed herself.

 

I agree with Vegas Lee, what's the rush? Enjoy the journey together. It has been a blast corrupting my gorgeous wife!

Welcome to the Swingers Board, gloryromper.

 

Your situation actually makes you, the very first "type" of single male we sought in MFM play in our own home. Unfortunately, a man like you didn't come along....

 

At first, I'll admit I thought, yea, right. I know that's not fair, but it's honest.

 

I don't have experience in your situation, so I can't say what's best ? Hypothetically, I'd be worried about "the day" IF, she changed her mind for the worse.

 

I do know this, when Mrsfun read your profile she got to the very last line. "I'll be going home to my wife and leaving you to yours" She read that one line out loud, shook her head, walked off, then went back in the kitchen last night. Probably more of a "Womans" understanding, so I digress....

 

I don't know what that's about though, and probably won't ask her. All single males must meet one requirement. Her interest and approval, first. My approval/opinion with veto, secondly. FWIW, Its a two way deal with the single woman, I take to interest.

 

That statement in the last line ? It's all good by me brother, but apparently not good with some women is my observation. All is well with your profile, except that one line ? You might want to make that more, "wife friendly". You might understand it more also, from your own wifes viewpoint.....

As expected, you guys have great advice. I do agree with VegasLee that there's no reason to hurry and that it's best if I can wait for my wife's interest to develop. She's already said she's up for going to Sea Mountain when the weather warms back up so we're planning to go spend a day out there in a few months. In the mean time, we can continue to talk and see where the comfort level is by then. But I'll also keep my profile on sls and maybe get a chance to make some local friends along the way.

 

I'm definitely going to change that line in my profile. Hearing it back, it does sound completely different than my intent.

Your situation will still be a red light for some. Many will not play with married guys period. However, some couples prefer your situation because they feel it may be safer.

 

You should be upfront with people from the get - go, in your ad or in any other way you meet them. If you aren't and they find out afterwards it's more likely to send them walking away. Keep in mind that some may even want a note from your wife.

      People sharing what questions they ask about potential playmates and sexual history has led to some very interesting thoughts and discussions. The one I found most interesting was the idea of "wild" people are not safe. Which of course led to the discussion of what constitutes being "wild". How many partners does it take for you to decide ok this person just has had too many partners for me to feel safe with them.
       
      Are there other issues that constitute wild? At what point do you feel that you just can't trust your sexual health in the "hands" of this person or people?

      On SLS, vanilla sites, and everyday life I have come across married men pretending they are single. Often I can filter these guys out quickly but looking for tips from others. I like to be sure I am having honest fun.
    • By HanAndLeia
      A couple very close to us has contacted us via SLS. They probably live within 4 miles of us.
       
      The man describes himself as a Cuckold and he wants me or me+Leia to come fuck his wife while he watches.
       
      Is this safe? A few things come to mind
       
      1. What if I can't perform with some perv staring at me while I'm working.
       
      2. What if he's a weirdo and tries to axe-murder us.
       
      #2 only exists because he's being very pushy. Here's a sample chat
       
      Him: when can you come over, wife needs to fuck tonight
      Me: we would want to meet for coffee first and see if we even click, then maybe setup a playdate. Why don't you send some face pics so we can see you?
      Him: /sent pics
      Me: /sent pics
      Me: wow your wife is quite beautiful, I'll make sure to show to my wife when she gets home tonight, and if she's interested we'll email you for a good time to have a meet over coffee
      Him: Where is your wife tonight?
      Me: Why do you want to know where my wife is?
      Him: When will she get home?
      Me: (internally I'm kind of not liking his pushiness now and why he's prying so much into our personal lives)
      Me: She'll get home when she gets home, why do you want to know?
      Him: I just want to know if she agrees and likes my wife so she'll let you out
      Me: Look, we won't be able to swing anytime soon, we need to meet in person first and see if we even like each other
      Him: So what time will your wife be getting home?
       
       
       
      So I'm honored and excited he wants me or me+leia to fuck his wife, but god damn why is he so impatient and pushy?
       
      So that's why I have fear #2, he seems a little insane.
       
      Thoughts?
       
      Should Leia and I feed this guy? sounds like an easy lay, and his wife is gorgeous, (in pics at least).
       
      Should I fear for our lives? We're complete strangers to each other, and he's acting a bit odd.
       
      Thanks.

      I am ranting. I have tried a different site, Feeld. Chatted with a “single male”. He wanted to be sure I understood the “lifestyle.” Yes. After a fair bit of chatting we decided to meet halfway, a little over a 30 minute drive for me. Brief introductions were exchanged and we started talking lifestyle experiences. I asked if he found it challenging as a single male. Then he said he needed to “clarify” so there wouldn’t be any “expectations.”
       
      Yes he is married but his wife is blind and they didn’t talk much about his outside activities but she is aware. I needed to clarify if this meant she would be upset by what he was doing. Yes. That’s cheating in my book and I left. My mistake was not confirming his status. I don't have a problem if the other partner is fine with it and have enjoyed meeting the other half in the past. His actions are not ENM at all. He sent some message how everything isn’t black and white. I doubt the wife is so blind she can’t see what an asshole he is. The excuse itself is offensive. I flagged his profile as fake because it is. Some people are okay with cheaters but I am not, won’t knowingly hurt someone else.

      Hi all.
       
      I've been married to my husband for 4 years. He recently shared with me he wanted to get back into the lifestyle. He had been in it years ago. I wasn't very open about it when he 1st brought it up mostly because I didn't really understand what was happening or anything about the lifestyle and frankly our sex life sucked so I just assumed he was looking for ways of sleeping with someone because he didn't find me attractive or desirable. 
       
      A few weeks ago he told me he has been in a lifestyle group for about 6 months and ended up attending a party. At first he said he said he didn't play but then it came out he did sleep with someone at the party. 
       
      This led me to feel utterly betrayed.  I knew I didn't want a divorce and wanted to work through this. We've been seeing a counselor and our relationship is getting stronger by the day. And our sex life is totally different.  It went from me basically begging for it and not getting any for months to him finally initiating it daily and letting me truly be free and it's been amazing. He's being 100% honest with me about his feelings on multiple levels. 
       
      I ended up joining the chat group. I wanted to get to know all these people he really likes and there are aspects of this I've always fantasied about. I've always wanted to be in a threesome with men and women. I also love showing my body off and being told by strangers how sexy I am.
       
      So after 2 weeks of dealing with this I said I was in for giving this a try and we committed to going to a upcoming event mostly a meet and greet only.
       
      I have mixed emotions about this because the women he slept with will be there. He knows im very scared to meet her and when I said she deserves to know that I had no idea about that night he said he can't share that with her.  I learned the group had no idea I wasn't part of this lifestyle that he hadn't been honest with the group or this woman. And to tell her he didn't have permission to play or that I had no idea about this side would basically black list him and he really likes this group of people a lot. The fear of him losing this group of people was as great as losing me.
       
      so here I am like a new born baby going into this with people who think I've been doing this forever and seeing a women my husband slept with. I'm so scared and have no one to speak with about it. I'm terrified what will happen when I see the gal he slept with. I'm really struggling with the though of him wanting to sleep with her again plus a lot of other things.  
       
      I'm so scared because I'm a baby about to attend a party where everyone thinks I've been part of this..
       
      what if I get jealous, what if I can't handle seeing him make out with people. I feel lost and confused.
       
      Any advice to help settle my nerves would be awesome.
       
      Thanks.
