When you first brought up the idea of swinging to your partner, what objections (if any) did you have to overcome before they were willing to give it a try?

 

 

- Worry about one or both of you falling in love with someone else?

- Worry about potential jealousy?

- Worry about family/friends finding out?

- Worry about you thinking less of them for doing so?

- Worry that swinging is morally wrong? Religious/ Moral Issues?

- Worry that your desire for swinging means that they are not enough for you? That you don't love them anymore or will love them less?

 

How did you handle these questions? What answers did you give? How did you overcome the objections?

I think these were our primary concerns. Possible jealousies, doubts, etc.

 

For us, we could only disect the problem so many times. It finally got to be a situation where we had talked it to death and felt that there was no way of knowing if any of the lingering concerns were valid issues without having an experience or two under our belts.

 

Most of the times we tend to take it on a case by case basis, if only because as it has been mentioned before here...you can't plan for or discuss every possible scenario.

Doubt I think.

 

Her doubting that I was sincere and that there was some other underlying coercion.

Mrs. CXXC thought I was kidding. When I convinced her that I was not, she informed me that it was like hearing Cocaine is good for you and is now legal. She just could not wrap her head aorund the idea of sexual freedom for a while.

 

However the idea excited her so much so that desire won over argument.

In reading this the way Julie posted it brought something to my attention from many, many years ago.

 

We never discussed or had to deal with anything she listed there.

 

Has to make me wonder if Julie has hit on the difference of this being a Lifestyle or a Hobby to different people?

I had to think back a bit on these questions...

 

Never worried about either of us falling in love with someone else.

Never worried about jealousy.

Never worried about either of us thinking less of the other.

Never worried about moral/religious issues.

Never worried about either one of us not being enough for each other or that we didn't love each other.

 

Family/friends...that was a worry of mine and for the first few months all swinging activities were kept out of town. That worry has become less and less over the years to the point it's not a worry any longer. If family/friends found out, they would either deal or not deal, either way, we'll still have each other and that's all we need.

When it was first brought up to the Mrs her first comment was;

"Am I not enough for you?" Now after being into it for about 8 months I think she is very happy. So far we have done some things that will make Penthouse Forum look very tame. YEE HA!

Never worried about the falling in love with others part.

Talked about potential jealousy, but we normally had so little, it was easily solved.

Never worry about friends and family finding out, just take precautions. Worry is not part of it.

Never worried about anyone we tell thinking less of us.

Danced around the religious subject a bit, but that was easily decided by both of us.

Never even talked about the 'enough for you' part. Wasn't even thought of.

 

NOTE: Julie, you may want to edit your original post. "Worry about you thinking less of them for doing so?" I think this should be "Worry about THEM thinking less of YOU for doing so?" Correct?

Since he brought up the idea of swinging with me, it was my insecurities we had to hurdle before we could start anything. Knowing him like I do, I'm still really surprised that he took it really slow at first, to let me get used to the idea and let me find what I needed to before we could start anything. :)

 

I was never worried he'd fall in love with someone else. But I was always worried that he'd find someone better at sex than I was. I did worry at first that he might want to run off with her because she was better than I was. Not that he'd fall in love, but just run off with her. :confused:

 

At first, I was worried about jealousy. I wasn't sure how I'd react to the first time I seen him with another woman. It's quite a thought that goes through your head when you're picturing your husband and another woman in the throes of sex. We're supposed to be protective of our spouses. We're supposed to jump and head butt the offending partner like animals in the wild that vie for the pleasure of being with the female of the herd. I have to say it definitely wasn't jealousy I felt that first time... More of a, "Damn!! This is hawt watching him with someone else!" I think this is where a lot of communication came in and helped me see he had no intention of running off with another woman or falling in love with someone else. From that first time, it's been nothing but recreational sex with another couple and that was it.

 

Yep, I worried about family or friends finding out, too. My mother would stroke if she found out not to mention his mother would die a thousand deaths and we'd be banned to burn in hell. I don't worry anymore if family or friends find out. I refuse to worry about something I have no control over. If they find out, either they can get over it or hate us and never talk to us again. That would be their choice, not ours.

 

Swinging is strongly against the Catholic religion. (DUH!!) Obviously, if you don't feel guilty about something, you're not practicing that religion closely enough. Well, short story -- we no longer practice that religion. I guess you could say we're agnostic. I did a lot of reading in here about religion and such and actually Intuition897 gives some of the best advice when it comes to mixing religion/spirituality and swinging. In reality, we're not hurting anyone. I don't think that any God would ban us to hell for having fun with another couple. Intuition says it much better.

 

I will admit that when Dave first brought up the idea of swinging, it really hurt my feelings. He didn't explain himself very well at the beginning and I really did think that he was saying I'm just not enough for him and that he wants more. I thought our relationship was OK and he was saying that it sucked (In my female brain, this is what I heard, when he didn't say this at all!) and he needed more. This is where a whole lotta communication had to take place. We talked about all the subjects above and more. I needed to do some much needed research to find out how the male brain worked because he couldn't explain enough to me the "why's" of his requests. At least, not to my satisfaction. I was wanting more answers than he could give. So, my adventures led me here to do that research so I could get some answers that would satisfy my curiosity of not just how Dave's brain worked, but how a man's brain in general worked and why they thought the way they did regarding swinging.

It could go either, way but I actually meant it the way I wrote it. It's not an uncommon worry/fear that the partner being asked to swing may have. Even though it is their partner asking them to do it, they may worry that by actually doing it their partner may think less of them after they actually go through with it.

I can see it going either way.

It was not a concern for either of us, however, there are those who could actually react in that way.

"I can't believe he/she actually did it!"

:doh!:DOH! Now I understand. I was under the incorrect presumption that you were referring to the previous 'worry' about your family finding out.

 

Now your original makes sense. :eek:

 

In that context, NO, neither of us had that worry at all.

I just listed a bunch of potential worries off the top of my head in the original post... not an end all be all. Were there other objections/ concerns that your partner had beyond those that are listed?

- Worry about one or both of you falling in love with someone else? Nope.

- Worry about potential jealousy? Maybe a little, but not much.

- Worry about family/friends finding out? Ehh, maybe.

- Worry about you thinking less of them for doing so? Again, ehh, maybe

- Worry that swinging is morally wrong? Religious/ Moral Issues? This was the one I worried about. Having had just recently joined a church and becoming very involved in the volunteer team, I did struggle with the "church face" in the morning. But now, a year later, I have overcome my own morality issues and am finally allowing myself to just enjoy what we have together, damn those who judge.

- Worry that your desire for swinging means that they are not enough for you? That you don't love them anymore or will love them less? Nope.

 

I struggled with the "persona" part. If anyone did find out, would that brand me a slut? I dealt with that reputation in high school, even when it wasn't warranted. So my issues were just that, my issues.

 

But once I worked through them, which was so healthy for the rest of our marriage and not just swinging, wow did I let a lot of baggage go. Now, it's all about US, and fun. As long as it continues to be fun, look out, here we are!

Or pregnancy?

Yes... we recently talked on the phone with a new (or returning, I'm not sure) couple. The guy is fixed, and the woman is not. They realized during our phone conversation that they hadn't considered ways to prevent her getting pregnant, other than condoms. So that is a hurdle that they will have to jump if they want to play.

Maybe I am the luckiest guy on the board. My wife never had any reservations. She jumped right in!

 

I had security clearance at the time, and "moral turpitude" clauses in my contracts could have been invoked if we had been outed. Thus, we met people only at clubs, conventions and resort take-overs where we could have immediate personal contact, and there was no paper trail.

 

We had high school aged children when we started. The deceptions and half truths about where we had been on club night bothered my straight arrow (regarding always being truthful) wife. Consequently, I did the talkign when there were questions. Eventually, the kids found out all about it, and they were cool with the idea.

My desire was to see her with another guy, preferrably someone we didn't know. Her feeling was that it was my way to be able to say, "Now you have had someone else, it is my turn to play." Through a lot of talking I convinced her that was not the case, I helped her select someone through ads on a swinger site. After about a half dozen times she said that this was a lot of fun, and I should not be missing out, so we started adding couples.

Ed here-- I just thought that marriage meant monogamy and that monogamy was a good thing. Now I just view it as one option that you can choose among a variety of options.

      Hello everyone! I've been reading this board for the past couple of weeks and decided to post some questions to the community. Most of my questions have been answered by reading the posts. Maybe you can help me with a few others.
       
      -----------------
      Question 1:
       
      From the subject line, you know that I love to smell women's butts. There is nothing that turns me on more than a woman with a dirty, sweaty butthole. Especially when a woman has a nice round butt. It is so animalistic and turns me in to a wild sex animal! No joke, I love to smell butts. I got hooked on it when I was around 14 or 15 and became sexually active. I'll always remember the butt smell that would rise when I took off a girls panties. It has become linked to sexual arousal to me, much like Pavlov's dogs. When I think of sexual activity I think of the scent of a woman's butt.
       
      I don't like poop. But I love a woman with a dirty, sweaty ass.
       
      I think there's probably other men out there with that fetish. Most of my former girlfriends have been disgusted when I told them that I like to smell their butts. They usually let me though. Sometimes I'll request that they not bathe for a day or two or longer so their butt is nice and stinky! Then I spread those ass cheeks wide and rub that anus all over my chest. One time a former girlfriend didn't bathe for almost a week--we 69'd for an hour. A few one night stands I've had I've told the women that I wanted to smell their butts. Just telling them that is a turn on in itself because I never know how they'll react, if they'll be cool with it or if they'll freak out (one former girlfriend got turned on by me smelling her asshole). Often, I don't tell them and just do it anyway. Usually if you meet a woman at a bar who is actively looking for sex she's going to be clean and there will be no scent.
       
      Are there any women swingers out there that would accommodate a request from a swing partner to be dirty so he could smell her butt?
       
      ---------------------
      Question 2:
       
      From reading this board I've learned that there is little emotional attachment to the sex that occurs between swing partners. Most of the women are loyal to their men other than the fact they have sex with other men.
       
      Do any swingers swap wives or girlfriends for an entire night or weekend?
       
      I would love to borrow a man's wife for an entire weekend of nonstop sex.
       
      ----------------------
       
      Questoin 3:
       
      How do I suggest swinging to my girlfriend? I'd be interested in 2 girls, and swapping with another couple. But I am a firm believer in the 1-wiener rule. No other penises in the room but mine.
       
      My girlfriend is great. We've been together for about 2 yeras. But there is no future. I am not going to marry her. I'm certainwe will be friends after we break up. So since I'm not going to marry her, I thought maybe she could be my passport to pussy.
       
      Should I come straight out and ask her if she'd be interested in swinging? (She'll probably say no.) Should I joke about it and see how she responds to jokes? Should I show her this website and let her read it for a few weeks to desensitize her to the thought?
       
      Odds are against her being for this. So I want to bring it up in a way that is the least likely to get a flat out "no". But regardless of what she says I'll respect her decision.
       
      ----------
       
      Question 4:
       
      My ultimate fantasy would be to go to a hotel party with 6 or more other couples and randomly draw names out of a hat to choose partners that we'll have sex with and then go back to our rooms and get it on.
       
      Do these kinds of things happen? I heard that it used to be popular to randomly choose partners in the 1970s.
       
      ---------
       
      Question 5:
       
      Another fetish of mine is cumming on a woman's face.
       
      Is cumming on a woman swinger's face acceptable? Does this happen? Do any women out there reading this let guys cum on their faces? What would happen if the woman said no and you did it anyway? Sometimes I get a thrill out of doing things that I'm not supposed to do!
       
      Do women swingers swallow? That's a huge turn on too.
       
      Do you women let guys do this when you swing or is it a "husbands" only thing?
      ----------------------------
       
      Question 6:
       
      Spanking. Do any of you females out there like to be spanked? Does spanking occur? I know there are a few women out there who like to be spanked, because I've had them.
       
      I'd love to be in a situation where I spank a man's wife and he spanks my girlfriend and we spank the hell out of them. I spank his wife. He then tries to one-up me by spanking my girl. Then I spank his wife harder. He spanks my girl harder. Oh yeah that would be fun!
      --------------------
       
      I'm sure I have other questions that I can't think of right now.
       
      Thanks for your input, especially you females out there.

      We all know how it's usually the husbands that bring up swinging to their wives. But what if you know that your wife will shoot down swinging? Would it be easier to convice her to become a nudist and then go from there?

      I get excited about the thought of watching someone fuck my wife. I’m just afraid that afterwards I won’t like it. Thoughts?
