Interested in swinging but so much action centers on the penis and mine is lacking

Recommended Posts

I'm 35 and appear relatively healthy (minus belly weight), but I am a recently diagnosed diabetic and have difficulty getting and maintaining an erection. This issue is compounded by the fact that while my penis is about 5.5" fully erect it is just 1.5-2" flaccid, leaving not much to work with to start in the first place. I've come to terms with my size and my thoroughly average body shape (not being self-critical, just honest), but I don't know how I can have confidence - let alone actually participate - when my penis is so fickle. Even during sex with my wife, I often have to masturbate myself to get hard, and I have to "use it or lose it" so to speak. And even that doesn't work sometimes. How can I expect to perform with a new partner when nerves and condoms are on top of these other issues? (Viagra, etc, aren't options due to diabetic heart issues.)

 

I am otherwise very interested in the lifestyle, but where does someone like me fit in? I am not into cuckolding or humiliation. People see me and think because I'm a young guy I'll be virile, and instead I'm anything but. I tried a threesome with another couple for the first time last night and it was a total failure. Nerves were certainly a factor as well - I had literally met the couple just 10 minutes beforehand - but I know that nerves aren't the only issue. How does someone like me get pleasure out of the lifestyle without disappointing people constantly or having to explain my penis doesn't work well and asking for patience over, and over, and over again?

 

Honestly, it just makes me sad because I am otherwise eager to get into swinging, if only my penis would cooperate. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I was very eager to be a fighter pilot. My dreams were dashed when my eyesight was found to be horrible. Sometimes we simply can not do what we would really like to do. I'm not saying that it's impossible for you to jump into the LS but it would be trying for you. My little dick has served me well, always rock hard and ready to go. That is until I found myself in the most erotic situation in my life, and he was asleep. Maintaining an erection can be troublesome even for the most skilled participants. If you have trouble in your day to day sex life, those problems will probably be amplified in a swing.

The way I see it, you've got two issues. You're stressed out and you have a body image issue. Body image issues aren't just for women. Take a deep breath, relax and tell yourself - I am ok.

 

Now, put the penis away. The penis does not have to be central to everything. In fact, the penis doesn't have to be involved at all. With two hands, lips and a tongue you can do wonderful things for a partner. Focus on that. Tell your partners that you just want to pleasure them with your hands and mouth. Do so and observe and enjoy the great pleasure they get from it.

 

This, I think, will help you find the self-confidence you need. As that self confidence grows, you will be able to enjoy yourself more.

 

(Also, the average adult male human penis is about 5.1 inches when fully erect. So that's it... you are on the high end of normal sized.)

There are very few situations in swinging where a dick that doesn't work is a welcome thing. One would be a cuck scenario with you being the cuck, the other would be a FF situation where the women were interested in their play only and you get to watch. Suggestions??? Do they still have penis pumps that are surgically inserted? There was like an 80 year old guy that used to frequent Trapeze who walked around the back with a hard on that lasted for hours. I found out that he would inject something in his dick before going to the play rooms. The guy would sometimes boink several women, one after another. A doctor friend told me what the drug was but I've since forgotten. Before accepting that you'll never be a fighter pilot, maybe you should visit a urologist.

1. Smoking: If you smoke then stop smoking, many people who suffer erection problems are suffering those problems because they smoke. That does include smoking tobacco, pipes, cigars, or even weed. If you do smoke them you need to stop totally and after a few months you will begin to notice a big difference in your erections.

 

2. Gym: This is the most difficult aspect but basically losing weight will help greatly where erections and self confidence are concerned. However when I say "Go to the Gym" I do NOT MEAN go to the gym once a week for 20 minutes, I do not mean go to the gym 10 times in a month and then give up. I mean go to the gym 4 or 5 times a week and do not stop. Make sure you are losing weight and becoming stronger and fitter. This might mean going to the gym 4 or 5 times week for 12 months maybe even longer if your very over weight, losing weight and becoming healthier will help you maintain erections.

 

3. Pelvic Floor Exercise: Read into doing pelvic floor exercises for men. Perhaps the best way to describe pelvic floor exercise is when a man stiffens and stops himself from peeing. Pulling the muscles around your penis in and out, working the muscles around your penis. This again is not a quick fix, constantly do pelvic floor exercise over a 12 month period and that will help.

 

4. Stop Masturbating: Cut down the amount your masturbate, instead rather than masturbating do pelvic floor exercise. Masturbating is not building up the muscles around your penis.

 

5. Vitamins: Consider taking multivitamins, this complied with exercise and pelvic floor exercise will give your body what it needs to repair muscle and may effect erections.

 

6. Diet: Consider going on a diet, if you go on a diet and go to the gym as well you will begin to lose weight which in turn will effect your erections.

 

7. Viagra: I know you have said Viagra isn't an option, but are you actually SURE its not an option? Have you spoken to a proper doctor about this? One thing is for sure if you go on a diet, if you go to the gym, if you lose weight and become stronger, fitter, healthier then a doctor will be more inclined to prescribe you erection based drugs. Remember your not going to take Viagra every day, your not going to take Viagra 3 or 4 times a day, you only use Viagra when you need it. That actually you might take Viagra once a week which you need to explain to your doctor. Viagra should be viewed as on occasional helper not a drug to be used everyday, there may even be erection based drugs or remedies that are safe for people with diabetes to use.

 

 

 

OVERALL:

 

If you truly can not use drugs, even small amount of occasional erection drugs, then becoming healthier / losing weight / working the muscles around your penis is your best option, but its not a easy or quick fix, it could take 12 to 24 months working out before you notice any significant change.

I wonder how many men worry about their size and ability. Size when flaccid is not an indicator of what you grow to and 5.5 is not small. I am more troubled when a man is overly large than someone that is average like you. And men, I can tell you your not the only ones who obsess about what we are given. Breast size or even vagina parts are troubling to some. The first time I was with a guy who wouldn’t get hard I thought it was me doing something wrong. It was before my swinging life and with a guy I wanted to be with. Afterwards I wondered why he couldn’t. I did research and maybe it was nerves or drinking or a health reason. Even back then we found a way to play. He did plenty of foreplay. He was open to orally please and he did please. I got him semi hard a few times but never enough to make it work. I think the added pressure only made it worse for him. I assume you are able to orgasm. I think you would have been happy as he was, I am pretty sure I was the first to give him the bj he wanted.

I never told any of my friends about his “problem” and I never had a conversation with his future girlfriends.

Thanks everyone. Just to clarify, I'm not really worried about my size, just performance. Size when flaccid factors in because it means there's less to physically work with to get me hard if it's not happening on its own (which is most of the time). I did used to feel concerned about size, but I think my difficulty performing really put that into perspective: I'd be happy with just about any reasonable size if it got hard and stayed hard when I want it to.

 

I definitely need to get healthier and I'm sure that would help. I look a lot healthier on the outside than I am in reality, and frequenting the gym more often would make at least some difference. At least I don't smoke.

 

Quitting masturbation would be very hard since it is the only truly reliable way I can get off, but perhaps if I can manage then it would help to have a lot of built up sexual desire?

 

I haven't asked my doctor specifically about drugs, but I know my heart health is poor and that's the reason diabetes is listed as a warning on all of them. You're right, though, that I should ask specifically. At the very least, perhaps if I'm able to make improvements I could reach a point where I'm cleared for drug use.

 

One other thing I think I can work on is reducing anxiety. I've only been with a few partners so far: my wife and I have been together since high school, we had sex with a female friend of ours a few times in our 20s, I had sex with a stripper a few years ago (yes, protected!), and then there was my recent failed attempt at a threesome with a couple I met while visiting an adult theater. I'm sure that my health issues are compounded by just having nerves from lack of experience. Any tips on getting more comfortable without being in situations where I'll feel pressure to perform?

If you do a search on here you will see you are not alone in the “problem”. Not every man is able to be hard when the time comes. Some it’s just the fear that increases the problem. Some it’s health issues. I think most women on here will say they have encountered more than once a man who just couldn’t. I won’t say it’s not frustrating at times. I do feel for the guy if it happens. No man purposely doesn’t get hard. At least I hope it’s not on purpose. I have found that most men will try harder to please in other ways. Most of the couples we meet have a female that is bi and oral is always involved.

I think somebody mentioned pelvic floor exercises? They will almost certainly help, a pump can help too though in moderation, don't expect your cock to grow overnight but it will improve the hardness of your erections if combined with doing the pelvic floor stuff, Google "jelqing" that will help with your cock size when it's soft and therefore help with your confidence

Just wanted to add, our first couple was with the male who was very well endowed. He got very hard and lasted a few seconds. I normally wouldn’t make a comment about that but he was an asshole. Give me a smaller soft guy who is nice any day over that

Heh, well I think that's good news for me then :) I was thinking about this some more today, and I think maybe the situation with the couple at the adult theater was an especially bad environment for me. When I had sex with the stripper a few years ago, it was after my diabetes diagnosis and after I had started seeing issues with my erections, but I was still able to get it up and manage well enough and I think that's because it was a no pressure environment - she was getting paid regardless and there was foreplay, in a sense, with a few dances and talking beforehand. Obviously in a swinging situation there will always be a greater expectation to provide pleasure to the other person, but I could certainly seek out scenarios where we ease into it rather than jump right in like we did last week. That, and finding a woman who appreciates receiving oral: the woman in the couple last week didn't get any enjoyment out of oral so I was just at a loss in terms of how to please her.

 

You've all helped quite a bit - reiterating some things I already knew I needed to work on, suggesting some new things like pelvic floor exercises, and easing my anxiety a bit. Thank you!

Good luck to you on this. Don't forget to have your 'T' levels checked. I am a very healthy and fit 55 year old. But, I get SottePelle pellets every 6 months to raise my hormone levels to the normal range.

 

My wife and I want to play if the right situation arises. But, I also worry about performance anxiety if the situation is not right. We are sensual people who like slower seductions. Aggressive people would be a turnoff for us. With that said, watching my wife perform with someone else (M or F as she is an exhibitionist) would probably remove any performance anxiety issues as that would be a super turn on for us both. A MMF or MFF may actually be better for us with my wife as the center of attention.

Always a good plan and it doesn't hurt (much) at all. In the end you'll be better off anyways, but think of swinging as a motivation.

In a word, yes. Too much masturbation and/or porn 'desensitizes' one from desire and doesn't help the stamina either. Of course, easier said than done (same goes for exercise) :lol:

 

I'm sure that my health issues are compounded by just having nerves from lack of experience. Any tips on getting more comfortable without being in situations where I'll feel pressure to perform?

 

Practice, practice, practice...The only way to get comfortable with anything is by proper preparation (see above) and practice. Everything you need to do is going to be good for you and your body (and most likely your partner), so get started. If being able to have sex with other people isn't motivation enough, then nothing will be able to motivate you.

You said 1.5 to 2 inch flaccid? Hey buddy I barely make it up to 2 in when I'm rock hard most of the time a bit less than that. Lengthwise I'm just about 6in too I've gotten all kinds of wows with that. Lifespan of committed relationships has never been less than 3 years and I'm going on 35 now. I routinely drive my wife into near unconsciousness.

 

What you were born with is absolutely no excuse for not being able to satisfy that woman you're with. The diabetes thing the soft erections, I can see how you might see that as a problem. You do however, I assume, have hands tongue arms legs and all the other usable components. You should be able to successfully Rock someone's world.

 

I've even found that even my freshly shaven bald pate can have an interesting effect.:-)

Enthusiasm my friend!

If you Dive Right In and I do mean Dive Right In you will probably get called back for seconds.

      Okay so I feel like this is probably pretty common amongst new swingers but I need to discuss it with someone cause I feel kinda bad.
       
      So me and my wife started swinging and have only had 2 experiences so far, both at the swing club near us.  Both times me and my wife went she (a social butterfly) found someone within a couple hours and completed one of her fantasies both times.
       
      The first time I wasn't present with her I was just outside the room in the main play room. I did this to let her try it without any pressure or influence from me.
       
      The second time we dvp/dped her and had a lot of fun. Like 30 people stood around watching her wanting to get involved
       
      So my problem starts a few days ago when we got into a mild argument and she said "well it's kinda fucked. You have got to see me fuck another man. I've done it twice, but you have yet to do anything with another woman."
       
      So personally I'm an extremely shy and introverted person. She always thought I was the catch cause when we met in highschool all the girls were falling over me and I only had eyes for her. Well she walks into the club and literally everyone is looking at her. I don't have "game" shit Idk how to even flirt. 
       
      It's not because I feel bad or like I'm cheating, I could honestly give a fuck less about that sorta stuff. I just don't have the confidence to go to a woman I find attractive and shoot my shot. I grew up extremely abused and so rejection to me is something that crushes me. When you learn to never ask for anything being denied when you finally do just ends your confidence.
       
      So really my question, is this normal for one partner to be the clear catch and able to go find partners where the other partner can't find anyone due to confidence? I dont want to make her mad because I don't ever do it but I also don't want to force myself to go fuck someone I don't even find attractive or something just to make her happy.
       
      I am totally content in our swinging choice and everything else. This is really just one of those things I hadn't anticipated. I hate it cause I know I'm attractive. I just have 0 confidence to test it out.

      Just finished watching a YouTube video about the O and P shot, I had never heard of this. This is for middle aged men and women where a doctor uses a vial of your own blood,spins it and takes the platelets to inject back into the clitoris or the penis to improve blood flow. The doctor who did the video said she gets this treatment about every 9 months. She recommends this for people having problems with ED problems or orgasm difficulties.  So, have you heard of this or have you had this treatment?

      Just wondering, how do you feel physically after taking the med? How much time does it take to go into effect? How long does it last? Is there more ejaculate?
    • By CrazyCampers
      The situation: We've been in the lifestyle for about 4 years now and I've never had a problem with erection (knock on wood). My problem (if you can call it that) is that lately I have not been able to get it up a second time! I, know, many of you are playing the world's smallest as I write this. All kidding aside, something has to be done...no?
       
      My background: Turning 40 with the libra sun, lost 40 some pounds this last year, don't drink alcohol, don't smoke but enjoying having sex with other men's wives .
       
      The wishlist: The love of my life (ball and chain) is taking me to Vegas next week to celebrate my 40th and it's also our first time in Sin City. I have an appointment with the doc before I leave and wanted to ask for some 'recreational sex drugs' to help with lasting longer amongst other things. However, like the post title says, it's mostly about getting a second if not a third 'woody' so that I am able to "party in your bedroom, all night long" to quote a Top40 song playing at the moment.
       
      The Drugs: Levitra and Viagra are the Pepsi and Coke of the recreational sex drug world with not many differences between the two, while Cialis seems to be of the energy drink flavour such as Red Bull. Like with all things in the world, some claim that Viagra is best and others swear by Levitra and Cialis. I, know it's a matter of personal choice and what works for you but I would like to hear from other guys in a similar siuation.
       
      The Bottom Line: I might drink on a night or two, eat at buffets and have sex with someone's wife...I'd like to be able to have sex with her twice if possible...even with a few drinks in me and too much buffet food!?!
       
      Which recreational sex drug would you recommend to your buddy?
    • By gordonshemway
      I am very new to all of this, so please be patient with me. My wife and I have only talked about swinging a few times and we are unsure that this is something we would want to do.
       
      One of the reasons I would like to experience this is to find out something about myself. My wife and I have been married for 18 years. I have not been with many women, since we married at a young age. I have had some performance issues in the bedroom lately and she has mentioned that I must be getting bored of her. I don't feel like I am, it could be just my age, but truely don't know. I want to try being with someone else to see if there is something to what she is saying. My question is: Is this a bad reason to get into Swinging?
       
      I want to clarify to everyone that I am VERY happy with my wife, she is my lover, my best friend, and the mother of my children, but adding a little spice to our life might not be such a bad thing.
