Some rules are just asking to be broken

Recommended Posts

I've been reading through some of the archived threads on boundaries and I've run across a few rules that stood out to me as things that people were just asking for trouble on... either rules that you just can't be expected not to break, or rules that you can't expect another couple to actually follow, when it comes down to it.

 

Most of them have to do with cumming, either not to or where to.

 

Examples

- a rule that neither half of the couple can FINISH (cum) with someone else. - I'm sorry but when I get close I'm cumming. If I get that close and then have to stop and change partners, chances are I'm not going to cum at all that night.

 

- He can't finish in another woman's mouth (or worse, even if he pulls out, she gets pissed because the other woman goes back to clean it up). The latter bit of that actually came from a post in the archives where the guy actually did pull out when a woman was giving him oral (because that was the rule that he and his wife had) but then the other woman went back down and cleaned him up. The wife of the guy who came got pissed at her husband?! Hello!? Even if you have a rule that you don't finish with someone else, if the real rule is that you don't want to see anyone licking up his cum or swallowing it, then you might want to reword that rule.

 

Other rules I've run across seem to be in place only to test the partner, to see if they really will stay within the boundaries...but at the same time because of what the rule is, it's like they put it there just because they know the partner will break it and it will give them something to take issue with.

 

So what other rules have you run across that you thought.... yeah that's just asking for trouble?

I agree, Julie. Making such rules is fertile ground for failing to do what is expected and will probably do little more than cause hurt feeling. When we have sex, with our spouses or not, it's more fun to do it with mindless abandon. I'd hate to have to keep something in mind that I must not do.

 

The only rule Mrs. Alura and I had was that we wouldn't "make love" with anyone else. All other sex acts were not just allowed but expected. We didn't have to think about not making love with others. It couldn't have happened.

 

If rules are made by a couple, they should be certain that their partner playcouple knows what they are.

I wish I had saved the profile of a couple we met, I posted it here once.

 

They had it all spelled out..

 

-You can touch her above the waist through her shirt.

- He can touch you above your waist naked and below your waist threw your clothes.

 

It went on and on and on. You would need a lawyer to ultra soft swap with them.

I may have said this in another thread. One of my biggest "fears" in playing is being with a couple with lots of rules, complicated rules or a particular rule such as no kissing. I am concerned I will get caught up in the passion/fun of the sex play, break a rule, or simply start to, and then hurt someone emotionaly or create drama in an already vulnerable situation. I have wondered if I am over sensitive to the subject in the drama category since it could become a two against one situation. Visions also of being the catalyst for one partner testing the other through the rules.

 

Having said that I do understand there is a variety of rules and reasons for them. I respect the couples that have them as it serves a need for them. But rules, number and type, will be a factor for me in whether I play with them.

I could see no kissing at all before another one that I ran across.... you could kiss... but no tongue/ french kissing :rollseyes:

 

And Chicup, I remember that post, I think I just read it again recently (it's i the archives now), that list was one that I can't see anyone wanting to play with.

I'll always remember an amazing kiss delivered by an amazing lady in Nashville... I'm glad she and her husband had no such rule!

One of our rules that I strictly enforce is: my wife must kiss me deeply after she's had pussy on her lips! She broke it when she kissed me deeply after having dick on her lips! Talk about "some rule are just asking to be broken.."

Having read through this topic, it's patently clear that rules are hard to adhere to.

 

But if a rule is known prior to engaging in any form of (particularly a sexually physical) relationship, then such a rule should be complied with unless it is waived.

 

Or does "No" not mean "No" anymore?

Oh, absolutely no means no! I think that the point here is that it is not the "other couple" that will break the rule, but half or both of the rule-making couple itself who will not be able to keep the rule. Therein lies the drama, as many many threads on this site can attest to.

 

I know that we would steer clear of a couple that had those sort of potential drama bombs as rules. (not to mention that playing with a no-kissing couple, as we did in our newbie days, was just too hard. Complying with the other couple's rule was a given, as far as we were concerned, but the effort required to comply with the rule interfered with our enjoyment of the activity.)

Not all rules. As the thread title indicates, some rules are hard to adhere to. The thought being that the couple with such rules are setting themselves up for failure.

See, that's an easy rule to adhere to. ;)

 

Our rules are easy for us to keep: Play together, communicate when it doesn't feel right, and respect the veto.

No means no... but whether it's the rule making couple or the other couple - when you make rules like this, the point is that it becomes very hard to keep them.

 

To tell someone "oh you can kiss me but no open mouth". Then try to remember that 3 hours later. "Oh shit, I opened my mouth and inserted tongue... now I feel like crap". It's not a matter of doing it on purpose, and no one is suggesting that such rules would be broken on purpose. Moreso that such specific and detailed rules are going to be hard to remember in the heat of the moment and if you focus so hard on trying to remember them, you're no likely to have much fun in the process.

We started with a long list of rules and are now down to only one. No more full weekend swaps.

 

A few of weeks ago we traded with another couple for a weekend. At the end of the weekend he dropped off Mrs. YZF and asked if we would keep his wife until the next weekend. Sure, why not.

 

She has been here for almost a month. I am wondering if her husband is ever going to come and get her. Not that I am complaining about waking up in the mornings and having to guess who is giving me my morning blowjob. They both are it is just that I have to guess who is on at that particular moment.

I agree that having a list 5 miles long is asking for trouble.

 

But I also feel that if you have a restriction, it is up to you to keep it from happening. So for the 'we kiss, but no tongue/frenching' couple, kiss away...but if I forget and try to deepen the kiss...you need to be the one to stop it from happening (either by a gentle reminder or switching attention else where...like pulling away and kissing my neck or something...).

 

In one of our first discussions about the LS, we tossed out things that would make us uncomfortable to see the other one doing with someone else. It gave us a starting point for potential limitations and further discussions. When we finally had our first swap we were down to 2 conditions: use condoms and play in separate rooms. Seems easy enough to remember. :lol:

 

Now, I'm off to go find that ad Chicup was talking about....lmao sounds like an entertaining read. :D

Yeah, I can relate to this. Early on, my wife and I had a no-kissing rule. It was her rule, and I was happy with her kissing if she so chose, but we agreed on no kissing. That rule's by the wayside now. But...

 

Very early on in a soft swap, the lady of the other couple gave me a kiss then asked "that's a rule, right?" Honestly, in the heat of the moment, I had to think about it for a second. Not that I would have broken the rule in the heat of the moment anyways (I didn't give the kiss); if I was uncertain, I'd stop until I was certain. But, I can readily understand how a rule can accidentally be broken.

 

My wife and I realize now that most rules are about security. Some are 'logistics' (birth control), and those we're hard and firm on. But others are gone now. What matters is our devotion to each other, not what we do with other people with permission.

That is sooo true, I can't tell you how many times us "Good times" have declined to play with someone because of their "rules". :)

 

Or does "No" not mean "No" anymore?

Sure it does, but the point of this discussion is that their are some rules that are hard or impossible to keep. My opinion is, that those are bad or inappropriate rules.

 

When we first started swinging, someone would tell us their rules, we would acknowledge them and proceed to play. It didn't take us long to figure out which rules were the rules being discussed here. Now days, when one of those rules pops up, we exercise our option to say "no" before we get to the play room. We just do not want any part of someone who is setting themselves up to fail.

 

Some of the rules that will cause us to pass on play with a couple.

 

1. No kissing - These couples are usually insecure couples who are really no fun to play with. Are all "no kissing" couples this way? probably not, but of the more than a dozen we have met so far we haven't found the exception yet.

 

2. Any rule that tells me when or where I can or cannot have an orgasm - When we get to that point, we are not stopping. So, if someone has a rule like this, we'll pass.

 

3. "Can't touch that" rules - We recently played with a couple who had several of these ("can touch my tits, but not with your lips. If you have to, you can lick my pussy, but I don't like it" and unfortunately we didn't find this out until we were undressed in the play room "oh, by the way, we don't allow any kissing"). Sucks the fun right out of it, and they are so hard to keep from breaking, as it requires you not to do things that you always do. In this instance we quit playing with the couple after less than 15 minutes.

 

It is funny to me that most of the rules that are hard to keep or ruin the fun are usually put forth by couples who we later find out one of them is reluctant to be a swinger, or they have serious jealousy or insecurity issues. For that reason, I think these rules are useful as they help us avoid those couples that are really not ready for swinging.

That is so hysterically funny (yet sad, same time).

 

Just trying to think what it would be like if so much store was put on "rules" in the vanilla world.

 

Imagine being in a simple making-out situation at the age of 17. You kiss her on the lips and have to wait for her to say "that's OK". You kiss her neck "OK". You kiss her ear "OK". You insert your tongue into her ear "THAT'S A RULE!!! You can skirt the lobe and the edge but NO PENETRATION". :lol:

 

She cups your balls through your trousers. "That is SOOOoooooo OK".

Score :)

 

Yeah, as a teenage boy it was more like "I wonder if I can get away with this....ok, my hand didn't get amputated and she seems to be enjoying it...phew!" :lol:

 

As I mentioned before, our rules are essentially gone now, and what's left are logistical and emotional. They're pretty easy to follow.

Yes, I've heard of/seen rules that seemed doomed to failure. And that's why we would decline to play with anyone whose rules are:

 

*too complicated (you can touch here but not there)

*go against our natural inclinations (any restrictions on cumming or kissing)

*are one sided (my wife can't swallow cum, but if your wife wants to swallow mine it's okay)

 

We are very respectful of rules/boundaries. And we simply don't want to take the chance that we'd unintentionally break the rule in the heat of the moment OR have to try so hard not to that we don't enjoy ourselves.

Agreed 100%. We also tend to avoid situations where there are a lot of rules that "go against our natural inclinations." Even just being pragmatic about it, these kinds of rules just don't make sense. There's a reasonable expectation that some things SHOULD occur with most people to have a satisfying sexual experience. These kinds of restrictions on kissing, etc. really make it difficult for most of us to really enjoy a partner that's for sure.

      Hello everyone,

      Me and my wife are new to the lifestyle and so far we've only met 3 couples. 
      We have a few rules/boundaries and one of them is that we only do a full swap and have sex if we both have sex. I suffer from ED which I've started getting treatment for which is helping, but before we even went into the lifestyle I felt my penis might not get hard so we added this rule to kind of take the pressure off if I couldn't perform. 

      So with experience 1 as expected I didn't get hard at all but enjoyed giving oral and watching my wife give and receive oral, experience 2 was same again. No problems so far and after both these experiences the sex with my wife has been incredible and my favourite part of all this.

      Couple no3 is where things for me at least went wrong. 

      So we met up for dinner at our place and we got on great and everything was going perfectly and the wine was flowing. First problem is I drank too much, I wasn't drunk but I was closer to drunk than sober. We started playing a game to break the ice and started with the kissing and oral, as before my penis isn't getting hard at all but I just focus on the other wife and use my mouth and hands. I'm not sure how much time had passed but this is where the second problem comes in my wife stops everyone and asks me if it is ok if she has sex. I wasn't thinking clearly due to the alcohol and said yes. She had sex (with condom)  with him and I watched it and when the guy finished we all stopped and that was it.

      The day after I felt incredibly conflicted and I explained all this to my wife and how I feel like she should of asked me in private if she could have sex and how we had a rule about only having sex if we both did. I know I shouldn't have drunk so much to keep my mind clear.

      I've told my wife I need to step back and take a break from everything and she is fine with it. I'm not angry with my wife or upset, we both made mistakes I just feel disappointed with myself more than anything.

      Has anyone else had experiences like this and how do you avoid things like this?? Any advice would be great.

      From what is posted and discussed here, probably the second most frequent rule couples have in swinging is "no anal." Some do not give an explanation, other say it is special and saved for just between themselves. Why is that?
       
      Considering anal sex as something sacred seems contrary to what girls said and did growing up. For girls in my junior high and high school letting a guy put his dick in your bum and cum was considered "third base" stuff, like oral. The reasons some girls did anal was because they either didn't like oral at all or didn't like a guy cumming in their mouth, a few girls liked it because they were able to orgasm that way, and some because their bf just wanted it. It also had the advantage of being a means of contraception at an age when getting on birth control was not easy.
       
      To hubby and me anal is nothing special; in fact, I have never done it with him. I have done it with other guys because they asked, but the only time it gets me even close to orgasm is when the guy in my bum is also playing with my clit. The after effects are that Mr. Anal Man keeps the antibacterial soap companies secure in business, I need another fresh guy (that is my hubby) to give me vaginal sex so I can cum, and there is that frothy mix squishing out. (Yes, it was what happened last night that got me to thinking.) So to us it is the most detached and least special of sex acts.

      This particular thread Bareback Swingers made us curious about how common bareback sex is among those of us on the Board. The following is a poll we saw on a Yahoo! group earlier this year. We are looking forward to reading your feedback.

      Hi, so wife and I are comfortable with the swingers lifestyle but we have said that we are both ok with sleeping with people separately. However, we have come across a problem and I'm not sure if I'm the problem or if she is.
       
      My wife has been in the lifestyle for far longer than me and has a vast amount of experience. A while ago we went to a club and there she met the club manager and they started talking. After leaving the club they carried on chatting on a daily basis, and when I asked her what they where talking about she would say that they always talk about work or stuff friends would talk about. However  last night i found out that they have been flirting with each other.
       
      Problem is when we started swinging we said that communication is the most important thing to keep us safe from any complications.
       
      I feel that we have to discuss and inform each other when we are talking or flirting with others and she feels that there is no need to inform me if she is flirting with others. 
       
      Am I been unreasonable by asking her to tell me when she is flirting with guys and is it unreasonable for me to have gotten upset about her telling me they only talk about work stuff only to find out there is more involved?

      CoupleInMD79.... It is like we are on parallel tracks! We'd still love to meet another FWB couple where we all click and can all play together same and separate room. (We have one right now) we've meet many nice couples but having a hard time getting a four way connection sexually. We are considering letting each other play alone a bit. Still in discussion phases. He met someone awhile ago and she played separately and I recently met someone and we are considering allowing this.
       
       
      What rules does anyone on forum have for this type of scenario. What issues have arisen? What are things to discuss. We are trying to think about it from all angles but would love any input.
