About the price of laser (and sorry I missed the question): each session costs $150 around here and you need 3 to 5 sessions usually. I think that price is pretty low compared to many areas, we're not in a city here. I just had my second session. After the first session, the hair seemed to be greatly reduced...not it should be even better. As far as pain, it does hurt a bit but in my case at least, it's been quite tolerable. They describe it like a rubber band snapping the skin and that does seem like a good comparison. I've never been waxed but I've heard it's about equally painful...but at least it's more permanent! So yes, it is expensive but not having to deal with sharp, scratchy effects of shaving...priceless!

We are 35 and 36 and we've been involved in swinging for 5 months now.

I'm completely lasered bare down there, front to back. I love it and it's been worth every penny! He is totally shaved and is considering getting lasered there himself. Hopefully neither one of us will want hair there someday! I certainly can't imagine wanting it, but it makes you think when you do something permanent.

Wow. I had to post here after coming across this gem: UPDATE: it would be kinky if we could find someone that owned a male dog for fun. All I have to say is

I got my first clue during high school while looking through some magazines that belonged to my boyfriend. There were some girl/girl porn scenes in one and I was absolutely blindsided by how excited I got looking at them. My boyfriend didn't even know that I had seen them and I never in a million years could have told him how I felt about them. I was able to open up about my bisexual feelings to my husband when I was 18. Like Julie, I've always pointed out hot girls to him all through my marriage. I was still really shy about my feelings, though, really only able to enjoy them while we were in the middle of having sex. Well, it only took us 16!! years until we finally did something involving another woman and well, let's just say I'm no longer curious or shy about how I feel

Attitude and class are very important to us. Income sometimes has little to do with either. This is an interesting thread to me because we've lived both of the scenarios. Until the last few years, we had a very low income and now we are doing very well. We certainly were the same people a few years ago that we are now.

First, I will start by saying that we've been pretty lucky so far and our few experiences have gone really well. Can the actual sex be better than with each other? I don't think so because of how much we're in love and our knowledge of what the other likes, but differences can be fun also. We originally got involved because I was so curious about my bi side and it has been really wonderful exploring that. At first, we though that we only wanted to be with a female. We quickly learned that I really enjoy the other male, too! A big turn-on in swinging for us is the excitement of someone new and the ego-boost of someone else besides our spouse finding us sexy and desirable. Of course, we also love how a good experience makes sex with each other so extra exciting afterward. That is an amazing benefit.

I went through a little phase of being extremely scared of contracting herpes a couple of months ago so I did huge amounts of research. I think I have to agree with a lot of what is being said here...it's not as big of a deal as it originally seems. I don't think I'm now as scared of it (as long as reasonable precautions are taken) as I was. I think the thought of contracting it scares me more because of what it might do to our little "hobby" which we've really been enjoying! In other words, I'm not as afraid of us contracting it because of the actual consequences of the rash, but what it would mean for future play, which we'd really like to continue One interesting little tidbit I came across during my frantic researching involved a potential cure for herpes that some researchers think is on the horizon. It would involve actually flushing out the virus so it could be killed. Right now, what is so frustrating about herpes is that it hides in the nerves so well that it can't be killed. If they could get around that little aspect, it would be curable. Of course, no one knows how soon a cure may come about, but it was interesting.

I don't know what it is exactly about the single male situation, but hubby and I are just totally not interested. We've really enjoyed being with the couples that we've been with and I know we'd enjoy a single female. I'm quite bi and the ff play is very exciting to both of us so that might be a reason that we're not interested in trying a single male experience. MFM as part of the play with a couple is very fun but by itself it is just something that we don't want to try.

We met our first semester in college. I was 18 and he was 19. Within weeks, I had moved into his dorm room (which wasn't allowed, of course). We were engaged within two months and married in two more. People thought we were insane and that it would never last because it all happened so fast and we were so young. We truly have one of the best marriages that we know of and it's been almost 17 years. As much as I feel we are compatible, I realize that we were just plain lucky, too. We basically grew up with each other and I'm so glad that we've grown together instead of apart like so many couples who marry young.

I actually made a mistake when answering the poll...sorry. I answered always condoms for 21-30 and really we're always condoms for 31-40. We are quite new, but condoms during intercourse is an important rule for us. We wouldn't use them for oral and in fact probably wouldn't know how to react if a couple we were with requested it. We've only been with a couple of couples and maybe we would consider not using them in the future with a couple that we felt very, very comfortable with.

I'll chime in and say that I absolutely love to see him with another woman. It is such a turn on. We've haven't had much experience yet, but the first time I saw him with someone else (after over 16 years with only me) I couldn't believe how sexy it was.
