  1. After years of sex fantasy talk, we decided to try it out for real. Then few more months of talking about it, finding out about LS sites and clubs. Because she loves to dance and we thought we could just talk to others, we went to a LS club first. After the second time there, we actually got the nerve to talk to someone. By the 3rd visit we had our first fun experience.
  2. Until we got into this "progressive swinging" situation we find ourselves, my wife and I would have never even thought of, let alone considered being poly. However we met a fantastic couple that we matched with so closely, sexually, intellectually, physically, even sense of dance and humor, that our relationship evolved beyond just normal swinging. While we live far apart from each other, we communicate with each other almost daily, and get together several times a year, for a few days to over a week each times with all 4 of us. Still not sure if we would consider it poly, but it is beyond normal swinging.
  3. We have profiles on SLS, Kasidie and SZC. To be honest there are things about each that we like and things we dislike about each of them. In our area, almost all the active ie not fakes are on SLS and they keep up with the local parties and groups. SwingerZoneCentral is overall the best site. The owner/moderator is also a swinger and he and his wife truely care and understand the LS issues. Their forums are the best feature of the group and are highly informative/intertaining. Kasidie seems like it should be good but gets "busy" and cluttered with their social wall. There are never any information about events or clubs in our area on Kasidie. For now we will continue to check all the sites but SLS will be our main one just due to the fact that we find the "real action and people" here.
  4. Thanks for the review Chicup. We keep meaning to type out just as a thorough review but time keeps slipping on, so we better just post some random thoughts. Obviously we were on the same cruise, which was AWESOME, and may have even run into you a time or two but with 2000 couples to meet and flirt with, it gets a bit overwhelming. So we largely concur with your review but we had some different experiences we would like to share. As far as the ship itself goes, we had been on it before but on a vanilla cruise. The ship itself is awesome, same as always. We always enjoyed the ice shows and the physical activities like the climbing wall and flowrider but somehow never managed to try this on this cruise. Guess we were always too busy having fun in other ways. However a few nights they had the "deck party" in the ice skating area which had been converted to a large dance floor/nightclub and we had a blast there dancing and mingling the night away. The wait staff was a bit overwhelmed at times but they did as well as could be expected, with all the different seating arrangements, drink orders, wine packages going on. The main dining room food was good but not as good as previous trips. The other restaurants especially the Windjammer where you tend to eat breakfast (if you get up in time) and lunch were as good as ever. The room service was also top notch, although I noted they were a bit slower coming in to the room because of not knowing what was going on at the time. Our room stewards were excellent and provided for all our needs and special requests. Mrs got into the habit of dressing with the door open and music playing so the evening steward a section down, would laugh and start dancing also in the hallway. One time she even requested a song that they could both dance too. Over all all the official staff had special training and instructions on what to expect and help us crazy swingers have a good time on the cruise, but there was absolutely no physical or sexual interaction between the cruise line staff and us. We were told they would immediately lose their job. Most took it in stride but you could see some wide eyes watching at times. lol But all were genuine and we never felt inappropriate or shamed in front of them In the past we always went to the planned night shows but we never managed to see a single one this time. However we talked to some that went and they said the shows were good. We wanted to go to the swinger/comedian/singer show but missed it. However the next night we met her at the promenade and had a great time talking and laughing with her and about 5 other couples sitting around. This was during the fetish wear them night so we had lots of fun watching others parade by. Even got into a silly sexy paddling scene on the promenade. Don't worry if you don't get it, you had to be there. . During the day, there were lots of official and unofficial meet and greets ,especially on the sea days. Some were so so, some were very good. However it was a good way to meet other people with similar interests or from your area. There were also some classes and seminars scattered throughout the cruise. However it would have been better if there was a better description listed in the program or daily guide and better planning for some of them. We went to a session on erotic hypnosis; the presenter was great but the facilities were horrible! Had too many people in a small room and then when we were moved into a larger room, had distracting music playing. We popped in to the squirters lecture. Only stayed a few minutes but they seemed knowledgeable and had a nice set up. The best sessions/interactive seminars were in the large play room with the massages seminars. We missed the naked speed dating but heard it was a hoot. The group massages were so much fun. 4-7 hands on you at the same time massaging you was the best, and had some sensation play with the towel sweep. By the second one on the last full day, people were much more comfortable and you could hear some orgasms over the soft music and moaning from the message's good feeling. We participated in each night's theme costumes and this ranged from good to great. As the nights wore on, the costumes and activity and flirting levels just increased in fun and exposure. Some of the themes were sexy PJs, Marti Gras, purple (one of our favorites) and white night and the aforementioned fetish/kinky nights. While at times the boat was rocking some at the beginning of the cruise, most women wore medium to high heels and seemed to be fine with the footing and walking about. Regarding the excursions, it depended on what you chose and who you were with. We had been to the islands before so we skipped the tourist/vanilla excursions but we heard the schooner ship was great. The RC island was nice, much better than the Carnival island. The fact that it was clothing optional and we met some great people that continued on to true friendships later on is just icing on the cake. We also went to the Black Beards Estate and had a wonderful time. It was crowded and so we just put down on our stuff on a bench, disrobed and wandered about. Everyone got a ticket for a free rum drink which was quite tasty and strong. When we went to buy another one, they told us to go back to the set up stand and those rum drinks were continued to be given out free. Also we went into the rum factory on-site and got free samples of the rum they make there. We continued to wander about in the gardens and pools and ended up talking to a great bunch, one of the ladies was a former Playmate model! That is a first. How many times can you say you talked to a Playful model naked in a pool? Another excursion was informal but well worth remembering in the future. Some went to the Orient Beach which is a fairly well known nudist beach. However we went to the other side of the island where the airport is. Now being on a small island and not much land between the beach and mountains, the runways are a bit short for the larger planes so they have to fly just over the beach. So you witness these planes landing just 100 yards from where you are. Also when the larger planes take off, their jet engines exhaust go through the 2 fences and the road to sandblast you. Some of the people trying this are actually thrown off their feet and through the air and thrown into the ocean. It isn't for everyone but is quite the experience and has been documented on some shows such as Mythbusters. Now if you not that adventurous you can always watch from a well known bar on the beach. What makes it fun here is that the women drink for free if they are topless. You can only imagine how wild and fun that bar was that day with a cruise ship full of swingers docked that day. We tried the larger group play room. While it was crowded, we found it did not take too long to find a bed, with clean sheets, to use. And there were built in seating to watch and talk softly while waiting. Nice way to meet some new friendly folks! We did not notice any usual odors and they had atomizers to help. We toured the other areas but did not use them. The dark room wasn't as pitch black as we had seen before but still gave the sensation of sight being taken away and you dependent on your other senses. The hall pass room was nicely decorated with curtains and light strands and seemed to be very popular- perhaps as just an other play area instead of only hall pass. There were 2 dungeons set up- one smaller one for hands on individual play and one in a larger room for more demonstrations and others to watch. However I believe there was a tremendous amount of play in the individual cabins at night. The rooms with the balcony were well worth it, in our humble opinion. We saw some suites , up to the Presidential Suit for a meet and greet, and they seemed very nice and more spacious. One of them even had a 10 person dining table in it. Late at night or early in the morning, one noted lot of happy worn out people walking back to their rooms. Watching the sunrise from your own balcony after being up all night and having a great time is well worth the trip. Like the previous poster said, it was the people you met that made the trip great. We met a great group of Canadians that was kind enough to include us in their ship gatherings and dinners. They just made a good trip great and we are indebted to them forever. Some of them have become true friends and we keep in touch and will be seeing them again whenever schedules allow.
  5. SLS is our original and still best site for people that we can realistically meet. SwingerZoneCentral is good and growing but not many locals in our area. However the owner/site manager is a swinger and understands what is actually needed, not to just bring in more $. The Forums are where we have made some good friends and often have topics open for discussion that are important to us. Kasidie we use for national events and parties. Also facebook style but seems more commercial and centered in the midwest and west.
  6. Never swing with doctors. They don't know what they are doing. They are still practicing
  7. We have a profile on Kasidie and like the site. Like others have said, not many couples in our area so it is limiting. We do like the features, but actually like the features on SwingerZoneCentral better. But same thing, not many couples in our area. So to actually see local events, use Swing Lifestyle still. But the other 2 seem to be growing and are worth watching.
  8. Sorry to hear about the HPV news. As you said in your post, a lot of people have been exposed to this virus and have acquired this infection and never even know it. This is a sneaky virus and can present in any number of ways and in lot of cases, may not present in any way at all. A few facts to mull over. No one ever truly knows when they were exposed. The virus is largely dormant and has no symptoms when acquired. Especially in females, the virus could be there for years or even decades until the changes in the PAP smear show the first indication. This means that you or both of you may have had the virus even before you began swinging. There are numerous strains of the HPV virus and only a select few cause the cervical cancer. Other strains cause the visible warts. More and more GYN's are testing for these if there is an abnormal pap smear. Luckily most of these are caught early and do not cause significant problems later if treated competently and in a timely manner. Third thing to consider: there is an immunization that anyone can get that can prevent acquiring these specific strains that seem to cause the problems years or decades later. Teenage girls and young women have been able to get this for years. Just this year, it has been recommended that males also get this vaccine. Older women can get this vaccine also safely. However right now most health insurances are not covering it for the males and older women and the vaccine is not inexpensive. However how much does it cost for some piece of mind and potential protection? Just check with your own doctor or the health department for more details. Again sorry that this has happened to you, but it is not the end of the world, or at least the swinging world. Lots of couples go to clubs just to flirt, dance and mingle, voyeur on others, ect. If you feel like it, go to the swing clubs, have a good time just experiencing the atmosphere and get sexually charged up for each other.
  9. We average about once every 6 weeks, depending on work and family issues. We do make a point to go to a LS convention or resort twice a year where we "catch up" with all the pent up sexual energy.
  10. Been doing this on the rare occasion. Great fun for both of us. Prostate massage is important part of this.
  11. Great thread and answers! It has gotten us thinking too. When we first started in the LS, we made a conscious decision to go outside our local area because of fear of our jobs. So we go to Nashville to Menages every few months but have to get a hotel room, gas, meals etc. which can run $250-300 a visit for all expenses. We also have gone to Playcate in Myrtle Beach for 4 days and to Desires for 4 days with an extra 2 days added on for usual tourist. That can run up the $ but we have found out that it is easier to budget for as the costs are included in the whole package upfront. When we have traveled elsewhere with our children we tend to go over our budget as there are no fixed costs and the cost is about the same per day we have found out. We have spent some time in Europe but have not gone there lately due to the low US dollar. When we first started also my wife was motivated to lose some weight and had to buy some new clothes. Clothes for work and some "sexy play" clothes that was about $500-600 worth the first year. However I never complained because it drastically improved her health and energy, besides I loved giving my opinion on her sexy new tops, lingerie, etc. And she looked hot! Since then the clothes budget has dropped significantly. Only lately have we started meeting local couples so can not give a comment on that cost but would expect it to be much lower than traveling to a club or visit friends outside the local area. We had decided when we started this to be more cautious and discrete due to our jobs and nearby family, and not worry as much as the cost. Like most "hobbies" the first year was expenseive- about $6-7000 but as time as passed the cost has done down drastically.
  12. We are going back to Menages tomorrow for the second time. We had a great time the first time. We danced and had fun with lots of couples... on the dance floor and then upstairs with a couple. The first time there the music was a bit loud for any true converstation in the main area, but was fine in the play areas. Anyone else going to be there tomorrow? or in the next month or two? Send us a PM. We'll save a chair for you tomorrow or in the future.
