Hi - me and my fiancee are very interested in swinging and we've experimented with friends and enjoyed it, but I'm a larger young woman (300 lbs), and I'm very self consious about it. Aside from a few places I see in the media, they make swinger clubs out to be like everyone there is beautiful. Is this true? If we were to go would I get ignored? Anyone from CT to vouch for that?

Welcome to the board :) People here are very friendly and helpful - I've really enjoyed the time that I spend here!

 

I do not have any experience in swinging yet - hubby and I are in the works with making it happen. I did go to one club when we were on holiday in Australia - and the guy at the front door handed me a towel and said I could leave my clothes in the locker! I was shocked... I mean... hmmm... I'm a big girl too and the thought of being in a towel was just way too intimidating.

 

I will be interested in what folks have to say about this subject - I don't think my size will prevent me from going to a club - I just hope my size doesn't prevent me from having fun - I want to do more then just watch other people having sex.

 

My hubby finds me desirable and sexy... but I have to wonder if anyone else will! :)

 

Best of luck and look forward to getting to know you!

 

Mwa!

Same here as you guys have said. I am a large woman as well. My hubby and I are also new. I am having gastric bypass in June and I am thinking I will wait to approach the swinging world until I am more fit. But that is only because I want to be more confident in the way that I look and I will feel better about myself as well. GO BBW!!!!

Welcome

 

Hi! Ik think it is just very personal. I personally think that big women can be attractive, but I do not very much like larger men.

 

However attraction is not only physical for me, so I am not sure. I would say just go to a club and see what happens!

We have only been to one club but there were people of all shapes and sizes.

 

The best advice I can give to give you an idea what kind of people you will find in swingers clubs is go to personal ads. Most will have at least one or two pics posted.

 

You will find in the personals that there are folks from the whole spectrum and we found the same thing to be true at the club.

Swingers are not porn stars or models. They are the same people at the grocery store, mall, and the PTA. You will not find more beautiful people there than elsewhere in the world. In fact there may be less beautiful people there since the "beautiful" type people tend to be snobby.

Well, I'm a BBW (245#) and have had no problems finding interested playmates. And I do mean "no problem" -- I get more invitations than several of my "fit" friends.

 

Hubby relates the following for your reading enjoyment:

 

============================

"The size or appearance of a woman is only really important for a couple minutes when you first meet. After that initial moment of first impression, everything becomes about personality and attitude.

 

You might look like Barbie but if you're a stuck up b*tch then I don't have enough time in my day to spend with you (also applies to BBWs with an attitude). And if I hear one more 102 pound woman say "I'm so fat" I'm gonna scream!

 

There are some real advantages to having a big girl as a playmate. Not the least of which is that I've often found them to be very passionate and caring women. I've also found that BBWs are often able to carry on a conversation about something other than the latest diet fad.

 

Now, what is a challenge is the BBW who has no confidence in her own beauty and sexual appeal. Sure, there are some guys out there that only want super-models in their bed. They're most often alone in bed.

 

Remember always -- "God didn't make no ugly women" :)

Remember always -- "God didn't make no ugly women"

Isn't that the truth? I am a bbw and I have no problems getting playmates. I find that being honest, real, and just having a "killer" smile is all that is needed to start a conversation. In my experience men like a little softness to lay upon or snuggle up to. Good Luck in finding playmates and have fun!

At the club we have gone to a few times (Club Kama Sutra in Philadelphia, PA) there are all shapes and sizes and, as I think someone else said, normal, everyday people.

 

At lot does have to do with attitude and personality. You are allowed to have fun no matter what size, shape, color, or age you are.

We've never been to a club, but we did go to Hedo last year and there were people of ALL sizes having fun of all kinds. If you have a good personality, then just relax and have fun. If someone isn't interested in you, it's THEIR loss, right?? Do you have a profile on any swinger sites?? It's kind of the same thing, people are in to different things...we go months at a time without ANY interested people, and then we might get several all at once too, so don't get too frustraited if nothing happens right away

The BBW Mrs here :)

 

Thanks to everyone who has posted - I have to tell you that you have alleviated a lot of my fears. I know that it is really important to be confident and outgoing - and I really understand what BettyAnn's hubby is saying about that.

 

I am excited to go to my first club and will share the experience when we return.

 

I guess my big fear was that I would walk in the door and everyone would stare and think, "What is SHE doing here?!?"

I now realize that it is my own insecurity and that I need to approach it with a totally different attitude.

To all you BBW's,

Absolutely have confidence in yourself and be outgoing! A pretty smile and confident attitude go a much longer way than an "I'm prissy and my shit don't stink attitude."

Let me think. Camryn Mannheim, Queen Latifah, Oprah (when she was heavier, Becker's main assistant on the TV sitcom (not the dingaling). Hmmmm, I think all of them could sit on my face . . . and even make themselves heavy!

Any of you dirty boys out there got any other heavy hotties you'd toss into the mix?

I have been pleasingly plump all my life. My husband loves me for who I am and considers my personality and my zest for life a turn on. You gotta love yourself...be happy in your skin no matter what size it is. People will see the "real" you.

Another BBW here. We've decided that we'd be more comfortable with someone/(s) in our same size range are are looking for, in a female, someone of about my size. We're talking to a couple now who's female half is a little heavier than I and we may be planning a trip to a hot tub club. I have decided that if we do indeed get naked, I will feel much more comfortable this way. :kissface:

We are both big people. We have found most people we have come accross in the lifestyle have been very nice to us and have treated us as people and havn't made fun of us because of our being overweight. Granted we have come accross people who have been very rude to us about our appearance, but our feeling is this.

 

What you see on the outside dosn't tell you what the person is really like. We have come accross some bigger people who have the best attitude and love life and enjoy themselves, and we have come accross thin people who you would think the world is falling down around them.

 

But in our exprieinces, we have hardly come across anybody in the lifestyle who has been rude to us about our weight and appearance.

 

Good luck to you.

We agree with 1freakincpl, don't worry about your size, people will like you for who you are and not what you look like, we have come across alot of people who have looked past what we look like on the outside and we can easily say that they are some of our best friends.

Mrs here :)

 

I think the best advice I've gotten has been from Julie - as a BBW I am not always comfie getting naked in front of people right away but I want to feel sexy... she recommended wearing lingerie that is sexy and accessible...

 

Hubby and I had our first swinging experience last week and it was absolutely incredible... there were people there of every size and shape and while it felt a little clique-ish - we didn't let other ppl's hangups stand in our way :) By the time the 4th visit - I was walking around in lingerie boxers and topless... and it felt AWESOME and sexy!

 

I so appreciate everyone's comments and assurances just to keep a positive attitude and be confident about your sexuality because it is all true.

 

I don't think BBW are for everyone but I do believe that women are sexy no matter what size they are... hubby and I played with women who were thin and BBW and they were equally incredibly sexy! :)

Our feeling is, that people who are rude to others about their weight and makes fun of them are very rude, shallow people and your time is better spent with people who appriciate you for who you are and those who look past what you look like on the outside to get to know the real person on the inside.

I'll agree with you, tazzie_n_truck, that anyone who'd make fun of a person because of their weight (or any other physical characteristic, for that matter) is rude and not worth your time or worry. But I'm going to play Devil's Advocate beyond that point.

 

To characterize anyone who prefers the appearance of thinner people as "shallow" because they won't "look past what you look like on the outside to get to know the real person on the inside"...well, I take exception with that.

 

I've recently lost about 40 pounds (and am on my way to losing another 10-15) on my doctor's advice, but also because I didn't like how I looked or felt heavier. My wife's in a similar weight-loss pattern. I mention this only to make the point that we're not gym rats or anything--we've been heavy, so we know what it feels like to be viewed that way and how heavier people are sometimes treated by others.

 

Yet, even when I was heavier, I did not generally find large women sexually appealing, nor do I now. And I can say that having been with a drop-dead gorgeous friend of ours who happened to be heavy. She was stunningingly beautiful, had ample curves in the right places, and a vivacious personality to match, but even though I'd lusted for her long before we hooked up, it didn't work for me when the clothes came off.

 

So, when my wife and I discussed our preferences for those with whom we'd consider swinging, we agreed that as a rule, we would not pursue anyone more than slightly overweight. Same goes for smokers, thinner couples whose personalities turn us off, redheads (not her thing), tall couples (not mine), etc. It's just a matter of preference, and there's obviously no point in swinging with a couple with attributes we aren't attracted to for the sake of being PC, right? You can't force (or realistically, change) what turns you on, and each of us is turned on (or not) by different things.

 

Please don't shoot me for being honest. Remember, I was big myself until recently (and am still far from "thin"). Hell, one of my best friends in the whole world is large, as his wife, and while they're warm, wonderful, attractive people with whom my wife and I love spending time, we just don't want to sleep with them. Size matters little to us until the subject of sex comes up. But I bristle over comments that make it sound as if there's something wrong with those of us who find larger folks less appealing sexually, and I felt the need to say something.

Hey, leftcoastcouple, that is totally your opinion. We are not saying that we are happy with the way we look either and we are trying to lose the weight. We were just speaking from our personal expriences from the people who treated us rudely about our weight and appearance, they were very shallow people. Not saying that everyone is, just that was what our expirience was.

 

Truck has been able to lose about 20lbs lately, Tazzie is pregnant and plans on working on losing as much weight as she can after the baby is born.

 

But good luck to you.

Dammit, it sounds like I offended you guys, and that was NOT my intent. Farthest thing from it, so I'm hoping not.

 

I tried to be as clear as I could that I was NOT bragging about having lost weight--that it was only mentioned to give our perspective--and that we didn't find those heavier than us unattractive, just not the object of our fantasies.

 

Guys, I hope you got my point. My intentions were good, honest. Just felt like the other side needed to be aired.

 

Good luck with the pregnancy. We're definitely parents first, all things (including swingers) second!

Variety is the spice of life and its great that everyone has opinions about what is attractive and what is not attractive.

 

Thats what makes America great... there's a little bit of something for everyone here :) and its our God given right!

 

I have opinions about what I find attractive vs. what I don't find attractive but I would never want my feelings to impact someone in a negative way.

 

The M half of a couple that we played with last week had a VERY small cock... I mean itty bitty... but I didn't go "ew! get that little thing away from me"... I gave him a hand job while playing with his wife. Now prior to playing... I had no idea he had a small cock and to be honest with you... its not the most attractive thing for me personally. But it was still an erotic experience after I got over my initial surprise.

 

I don't know what that has to do with anything... except to say that perhaps life is a better experience when we are open to all of its experiences rather then closing our minds to things that we think we may or may not enjoy.

Size has never been a determining factor for us. A warm, honest, intelligent, humourous male, female, or couple is what we look for.

Hello ::P: I'm new to the group and lifestyle, I live in the Tampa Bay area in FL and I am a BBW. I'm interested to know if there are any good swing clubs around I would like to go private but I dont know anything about this yet. I read that it's not hard to find a mate so not it's just the task of finding the place!

From our expirence since we started swinging, we have met very few people who have been rude to us because we don't fit the Ken & Barbie mold. And that's been very reasuring to us. It has made us feel better about ourselves that there are people in the lifestyle who accpet us for who we are and not what we look like or don't look like.

Membership requirements vary from club to club but I recommend you take a different approach. As you explore swinging take note

of your comfort level at clubs you frequent. If you find that you are spending a great deal of time in search of a place to swing as opposed to actually getting your chance to...it may be time for you to consider starting one yourself.

 

I think there's a real void in swinging for both the younger and older sets. Ditto for BBW's and cuddlier crowds.

 

 

Let us know how it all goes, k?

      It was a fairly typical night at D.J.s Island, an early autumn evening. Mary and I hadn’t set anything up in advance, we’d decided to go almost at the last moment. From the second we entered the door our radar was beaming across the club, searching for a couple that might be searching for what we were also interested in - an enjoyable tryst.
       
      Mary took a few minutes to change into what she called a ‘trolling outfit.’ As I remember, that night it was a black babydoll with a loose bodice, thong, low heels. Many men admired her legs as I checked the forty or so women, many as scantily clad as my wife. None of our regular playmates seemed to be in attendance that evening, but we had our customs, we weren’t concerned. Perhaps an hour and a half later, I sat at a table next to the dance floor, Mary was on her feet, on the parquet, moving her body, seeing if anyone would move in. A slow sequence of men approached her, danced with her. Some would take liberties such as moving their hands under her garment, feeling the small of her back, perhaps place their palm on the roundness of her ass.
       
      I’d seen this many times before, I waited for one of two reactions.
       
      The first was that she’d spin away from the man; it signified she wasn’t interested in what he had to offer.
       
      The second was that she’d get closer, I’d watch her whisper in his ear. I knew the question, “Where’s your wife?” Some of them would shake their heads, they were attending as one of the few single men the club allowed, and when they received Mary’s response, they’d move away - that’s not what we were looking for at the moment.
       
      But the man might indicate where his wife was dancing a few feet away. When this kind of thing happened, Mary would glance to me and give our special signal - she’d put one hand on the back of her head, one on her stomach. When I got the cue, I’d come out, we’d dance as a foursome.
       
      As I approached, a man grasped the elbow of a tall attractive lady who was more modestly dressed, at least for the club. There was no conversation on the dance floor, the heavy volume of music and the thumping of the bass wouldn’t allow for speech. But I could tell the woman was interested in me, the four of us paired off and I often found myself facing this vixen. It was obvious they were as interested in us as I was in them, I could tell by the way Mary was rubbing against the man that she felt the same.
       
      After a couple of songs, Mary led the way off the floor, holding his hand, leading us off into a corner away from the speakers. As we sat, the man said, “I’m Ed, this is my wife, Marilyn.”
       
      Marilyn and I softly shook hands, I believe she raised the hem of her skirt to give me a view of her upper thighs. Ed had no problem seeing Mary’s legs, or where they met - she was sitting so that the babydoll was gathered to her side, leaning forward so her globes were exposed to his view.
       
      “Do you come here often?” Ed asked.
       
      “Every few weeks,” I responded, “you?”
       
      “This is our first time here.” Mary gave him a look that asked for further info. “We’re just starting this,” he admitted.
       
      Marilyn picked it up. “We’ve only had one time with a couple of friends. We liked it, heard about this place, decided to see if we could get into more trouble.”
       
      “Trouble’s our middle name,” I joked.
       
      Our conversation continued, where do you live, what movies have you seen lately, etc. It was a screen, of course, we were all calculating if the four of us would be pleasurable bedmates. I paid my attention to Marilyn, my wife had told me numerous times not to worry about her, she can take care of herself. My hand found Marilyn’s knee, she smiled at me, encouraged me to reach a tad higher. We bent towards each other, our mouths met.
       
      Marilyn opened her lips to me, the kiss was ardent, her mouth moist. She licked at my upper lip, her hand fondled the back of my neck. Our tongues clashed, promising cupidity, mimicking what I presumed our bodies might be doing in a few scant moments.
       
      We broke for a moment, Marilyn invited, “Would you guys want to go to one of the rooms?”
       
      I, of course, was all for it, but then I heard Mary. “Uh, not right now. But thanks.”
       
      We’ve always had the guideline that if one person doesn’t want to do something, she speaks for both of us. Regretfully, I pecked at Marilyn’s lips a last time, we stood, went separate ways.
       
      “You’re not upset, are you?” Mary asked me.
       
      “Of course not, not at all. You’re not in the mood?”
       
      “Oh, I’m in the mood all right, just not with Ed.”
       
      “Something wrong with him?” I asked.
       
      “I tried to get him interested,” Mary revealed, “but his kiss was a little cold, indifferent. I put my hand on his leg, he was too busy watching you and Marilyn, he never responded. My guess is that if we went into a room, he’d be watching you two, I’m not even sure he’d get hard for me.” It was a reasonable thought, it had happened to us a couple times before. “Hope you don’t mind, bet she’d have been a firecracker.”
       
      “Maybe. But you’re a firecracker too.”
       
      We headed back to the dance floor, in search of another couple.

      i may be considered a snob but I like to see and lick a pussy that doesn't have too much hanging labia (gets in the way). I like a bigger clit, one you can suck on, mmmmm. I had an experience with another lady once that when she was aroused, her clit swelled to the point it looked like a very small cock, we rubbed pussies together and I could actually feel some penetration, it was very nice to suck.
       
      Cocks, I need them circumsized, sorry. size doesn't matter but once in awhile I love to run into a huge one.
       
      Don't get me wrong, I have had different shapes and sizes, cut and uncut, I am just saying what my preference is.
       
      Cleanliness, there have been a few people who haven't been clean and it was not nice and I left them standing.
       
      What about you all?
    • By NotnewNotpros
      As a couple we are somewhere in between swinging and poly. I don’t need full on love but enjoy the playfulness of the “crush” and boyfriend/girlfriend crush feelings.
       
      We are slowly proceeding with this with a new couple. Who is also new to the LS. We’ve been there in the past and really enjoyed this type of thing.
       
      My “issue” is that the female is very playful and chatty. But her and my husband talk more sexy and more often than she and I do. It doesn’t make me jealous at all, I just would love it too!! The male half is great in person but the chatting and flirting has really slowed down since we’ve played a few times. He seems to be cautious when it comes to sexting. So much fun for my husband and I feel like a little blah...bland. I just want a little more fun and excitement (chat wise) considering we aren’t able to see each other often. She and I can hang out but they want to stick to the “rule of 3” for now.
       
      So it’s hard to get to know him more without having some alone time and minimal (slightly bland) chat.
       
      We really like them and it’s been a long time since we’ve found such good 4 way chemistry.
       
      Any advice? And how often do you chat and what is your expectations?
    • By sunbuckus
      I have heard from several members here that the more they get to know a couple, the less they want to have sex with them. Maybe we just haven't been fortunate enough to get to know a couple that well that it reaches that point or maybe I'm not wired that way. Or perhaps there's something else in play (like maybe they meant in terms of seeing them pick their nose or exhibit an unbecoming personality trait). However, for myself, I have found that the more we talk and get to know a couple, the more comfortable I feel with them and I'm more interested in engaging with them in sex. In fact, finding more about other couples almost endears them to me. I know that sounds too intimate but the more I get to know a person, the more I care about them as a person and their well-being. Even if we witness something that is a turn-off, it's even more of a reminder to me that they aren't perfect...not some unattainable, flawless couple who sits on their lofty pedestal.
       
      Is this feeling felt more in those who are open to poly or is it not poly-specific? Is the desire of not wanting to know too much about another couple a "protective barrier" so feelings won't develop? Is it just the mindset that swinging is for sex and nothing else so everything outside of that is irrelevant? Or am I just looking too much into this? Please share your thoughts on the matter!
    • By OhioCouple
      Okay, we all have one. What is it that sexually charges you up of the opposite sex? Let's assume that you are all clothed and meeting someone for the first time. Where do your eyes discreetly gravitate?
       
      For us, we are both fans of the fannies. I love a nice butt on a man, second choice would be the eyes. I could care less about anything else. (Except the given of course, cleanliness and personality.)
       
      My hubby loves a nice rounded fanny on the ladies. Nothing flat and thin for him. He says he has no second choice.
       
      Please vote in the poll and share with us the reasons for your vote. The pole is open for multiple voting, but please only vote for one choice if you are a single or one each if you are a couple. I think it will be interesting to see the results.
