My Daughter Found our AFF Profile

Recommended Posts

LFM2 made the statement that her daughter found their AFF profile.

 

For those who's kids have found your profile(s) (or not kids, someone else very close to you), what happened?

 

I think my son is too young to get it yet -- he doesn't like to see us kiss, so the thought that we have sex would truly disgust him. The older kids -- hard to say. I can see the daughter, who's in College, being all "OMG! That is Gross! How can you do that? (unless, of course, she's had some sort of group sex experience, which she might since she's in College and all)" and the older son being "whatever."

 

I have one sister who would think it was cool (I suspect she's had some experiences herself), other sisters wouldn't find it so cool; my mother would assume I was talked into it somehow ...

 

Just curious about reactions, good or bad. I remember PrettyLady talking one time about her sister being a swinger as well ... maybe the sister found her and Dog's profile maybe?

Well so far those that have found out about us... Nothing... No drama like one might think.

 

It is like, what could they say? It is not healthy for our marriage? :rollseye:

 

We have outlasted everyone in our families :lol:

 

Well, except my parents and both of our grandparents.

I think if your kids discovered you then shame on you. You should drag this kind of drama into their lives. You should all be so private. Should any one be discovered by their kids due to recognizable pictures on a profile or leaving a swingers web-site accessible on your computer then you got what you deserve.

I agree, because of the way most of society stigmatizes those in the lifestyle, that if parents swing that they should keep that information at least from their children under the age of 18 or so.

 

However, we're encountering a big technological problem right now, at least for us boomers. Technology is moving extremely fast. Most adolescents obviously know much more about computers than most of their swinging parents and grandparents do. Otherwise conscientious parents might think that they are doing the best they can to cover their tracks with regard to swinging (obliterating search histories, not posting identifiable pictures, etc.), but unfortunately the kids know a lot more than many of their parents and grandparents do regarding computers.

 

What might look to us (boomers) as guards against the children finding out are more and more easily unlockable doors to information.

 

Last year my niece was grounded for a month and had restricted Internet privileges because she tried to access porn sites given to her by her schoolmates. She was 9 years old. The security set up by my (non-swinging) brother and his wife prevented her from seeing them on their home computers, but apparently some of her classmates were able to get access to these sites at their homes other through other avenues.

 

So, I'm saying, I agree that information about parents swinging should NOT be available to young children, but even with a lot of caution, some parents will be found out. The parents aren't always at fault.

 

And if we have Internet-savvy kids searching SLS, AFF, and other swinging sites for people in their respective areas -- and whether or not they ID their parents -- what does THAT mean?

I guess I was about clear as mud.

 

How I read LFM2's message was that her daughter happen to be on AFF HERSELF, and came upon her profile. (That could be wrong, but that's how I read).

 

So, that's more my direction. Has anyone found your online profile because they, too, were browsing the sites?

 

An aside -- LFM2's daughter could very well be an adult, and have every right to be living her life the way she wants to. Our kids are young enough that they probably would NOT have profiles. But my sisters might, ya know?

 

We have our own computers in our house. I have a separate login account on my computer in case one of the kids want to use it, plus I'm anal about clearing history, etc.

 

SO -- had anyone else close to you (kids, etc.) found your profile online in their quest to find swingers?

Someone that feels kids should be lied to?

 

Ok, to keep it from our kids, I would have had them not watch T.V., read newspapers, magazines or listen to the radio.

 

No shame needed by anyone. You are leading your life and when and if it comes up honesty goes a long way in all relationships, even the ones with your kids.

 

I am glad we have always been OUT of the closet. I could never live with the fear my kids are going to "find out" about something I do.

 

I am not downing any of you for how you feel you have to live your life and this lifestyle but I can not sit back and have someone that knows nothing about any of us try to "shame" us into their way of thinking either. That is total nonsense.

 

You raise your kids, I will raise mine.

Ok... Just setting the record straight. :) I haven't read any other posts -- so I'm shooting from the hip.

 

Yes, our oldest daughter (mine by another relationship, Dave is her step dad) who is an adult 27 years old, found our profile. (We don't show our faces on our profile, but she noticed the furniture and the walls.) Out of the three of our children, this one we believe, can handle it the best. She's always been a little bit of a wild child ;) Also, we pride ourselves on having a very good relationship with our children, but it did require a little explanation so she knew it wasn't a cheating situation or that her dad and I didn't love each other anymore or were bored with each other. Everyone should know, who's been in this lifestyle long enough, that it's about selflessness, not selfishness. We really weren't that horrified that she found out. We have nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed of. It's just that we don't tell our kids about our sex life and it's none of their business.

 

When we were done sitting over a pot of coffee, she said she did understand and she knows she is free to ask questions and we'll answer any questions she might have. There has been only been one drawback to her knowing. Since she knows, her boyfriend of many years thinks this is a good reason to be a little more touchy feely -- something I'm definitely not comfortable with. He now knows better. (Dave and I had to have a little talk with him to make that clear.) :nono:

 

She has sworn secrecy to her other siblings on the condition that since I brought her into this world, I can also take her out. ::P: (Just kidding!! I know that there are some out there that won't get that OLD joke!) The other two wouldn't be devastated, but they would probably have a harder time understanding. We've lived our lives for them for the past 27 years. We now feel it's our turn and we'll live it like we want.

 

Dave and I are extremely happy where we are in life. If the other two ever found out, I guess we'd have the same talk with them as well. I'm not going to dwell on anything that hasn't happened yet.

Huh. I'm not sure what I deserve, but I do know what I have!

 

I have the three greatest adult kids anyone could hope for.

 

Yes, they are all over the age of 18. If they find our profile, so what? The world will continue to turn. We have nothing to be ashamed of.

 

Our youngest still lives at home and we all use separate computers, so finding something on one isn't a big worry to us.

 

To be fair, I agree with you if someone has younger children. It should be private.

Ours (almost 18) found our ad.

 

They just said "cool" and nothing else. My daughters have mostly been interested in the bi aspect.

 

We speak openly and honestly about everything. Sexuality is not "dirty" in this household.

 

Agree with Lee. You raise your kids and I'll raise mine.

I think our two older daughters (both teenagers) know. They've seen too many time where Mrs. WS and I have been in my home office "balancing the checkbook" on the computer and they weren't allowed to come in. In the past four years we've had a number of new friends we didn't have before, we go to parties and clubs all the time now, many of them themed so we leave wearing theme clothing. They've walked in my office on occasion when I've been posting here or on a swinger's site and I minimize the browser quickly, but you can still see the description on the button on taskbar, they've broken into Mrs. WS's toy box and seen all the toys, etc.

 

But, if they know they haven't said anything. I think as long as we're happy, solid, not fighting all the time like their friend's parents, etc., that is all they really care about. They know we are very sexual people, but like others have said, they don't want to think about us having sex at all much less know the mechanics of it.

 

My step-brother and his wife know about us. Mrs. WS's dad knows about us. I think my dad may but won't say anything, but then again he and my mom had an open relationship in the 70's and 80's (I recognize what they look like now ;) ). Some of our friends know. None of our neighbors do. We tell those that can handle it and don't tell those that can't. If they find out we'll cross that bridge then. We're taking precautions that they don't, but we're not panicked about it either.

I have devoted a large part of my life to my kids, to their care and upbringing. If I had to I would give my life for my kids. But, I am going to lead my life my way.

 

We are discreet and do not flaunt swinging. If they discovered this part of our lives that we prefer to keep private, (just like we keep intimacy between ourselves private) I would not deny it, or act like I had been caught in something nasty or immoral. I'd probably tell them that the details are really none of their business but be willing to talk frankly to them about their views on it and my own.

 

They would hardly be devastated, they are too well grounded for that. My daughter, who is 15 going on 23 would most likely think the whole thing is just ridiculous, just like she finds the concept of her geezer dad going out dancing is. For my 18 year old son it would likely be a "whatever". He has many far more interesting and important things going on in his own life than getting fussed about my "hobbies".

      Michael and I continue to see a therapist both together and separately. Over the years we have both become more open to telling her what experiences and feelings we have with others and the reasons we enjoy others. I will never know what he tells her in his private sessions though I am very open in our joint meetings.

      We have told her that we post some of our experiences on a swingers site, it’s more me posting, Michael doesn’t post anymore. She asked if I embellish my posts because many post on sites about fantasies more than realities. I think I post real feelings as best as I can but I know what she means that posting has an excitement factor like reliving an event. Others will post something they wished they did almost as if they did it. 
      Michael and I were very hesitant to open up to our therapist our alternative lifestyle thoughts when we first met her. I opened up first in my private meetings and then only in a broad way with no specific acts. I didn’t think she would understand what we were doing or how she would judge me. Therapy was to take away my odd feelings which ended up adding to my thinking my actions were odd. Once getting over my fears of opening up my deep thoughts it has freed up anxiety of enjoying.

      I think I have a healthier outlook now that I have freed myself of worrying what others think and what a therapist thinks. Our joint sessions are now very freeing allowing me to express my feelings to Michael and understanding his feelings.

      How open are others? Do others discuss true feelings to a partner? Are you honest to a therapist?

      My wife and I love skinny dipping after our youngest is in bed. We have a daughter in college that comes home on some weekends.

      One weekend recently, she surprised us by coming home early after being out with friends and caught my wife and I in the pool, no swim suits of course. She wasn’t freaked out, she actually was cool about it and hung out by the pool a while. She asked if we would mind if she got in for a swim, we said of course. She went in the house(we thought to get in a swim suit of course)  and she came back out wearing a towel which she soon revealed that she also was nude. She is 20 by the way. She said since  we were skinny dipping it would be ok for her to as well. My wife was totally fine with it. I’m ok with it, it just caught me by surprise and off guard to say the least  to the point where I couldn’t look at her at first since it was my daughter. That went away after a bit.
       
      This is the first time she’s went completely nude with us. My wife and I go nude around the house all the time and she would just go around in a T-shirt and panties when she lived at home and when she comes home now. She never had shown an interest in anything more than that before. Am I just over reacting since it was the first time she’s done that and I’m trying to process it? She’s been a free spirit since she was little,  so it shouldn’t be a surprise to me. She knows we’re swingers and we’re both bisexual and she thinks that’s awesome, so I don’t know why I reacted the way I did with the skinny dipping. Any ideas and opinions are welcome

      My husband and I just established with a new doctor. I really like her, she seems very nice and easy to talk to. This is a good thing right?
       
      I am going back in next week for a well woman check. It's just my yearly and I am having no problems. I do want her to check me for everything (again not having problems but would like to have that peace of mind) though but I am not really sure how to ask. My plan is to just say "Since we are already doing a Pap can you just check me for everything else too". My fear is that she will ask questions why since she knows I am married.
       
      What should I say if she asks me why? Any ideas? I'd rather not say I think hubby is cheating but I ALSO don't want to tell her I'm a swinger either!
       
      HELP!

      So I've came across this on TIKTOK, and thought I'd ask in a broader way. Do you have a contingency plan for your adult toys (and I'm adding pictures, correspondences, and other documentary evidence) if you happen to pass away? What will happen to that kind of stuff when you go? Have you even thought about it, or would it even matter to you?
