Looking for advice - wife wants to play alone

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

So my wife and I started playing about 4 months ago. It’s been a lot of fun, with of course the usual ups and downs. So far we have been involved in almost exclusively MFM situations. It seems to be a lot harder finding 4 people that click versus 3. Our very first experience was with another couple where we both liked him but she really did not hit it off with the other woman. So, we’ve hit more of a sweet spot, at least for now going the MFM route. We’ve also had a couple of guys that we both really liked that have failed to come back after the first or second “date”. We are really looking for a long-term FWB that we can rely on.

 

With all this being said, we’ve recently found a guy that we both really like. BTW, I’m straight. He fits our needs from a conversational perspective, and we also like his body and sexual prowess. Here is where I’m having a bit of a dilemma. The wife is really into him and has recently told me, something I already knew, that one of her fantasies is doing him without me knowing before hand. She has agreed, and she’s never lied to me, that she would not do it without my permission. However, part of the kink is not telling me before and me only finding out afterwards. She’s also agreed to tape the entire thing for me as I really get off on watching. So a little bit of my dilemma is that I find it really freaking hot, as I like all kinds of kink, and I know he would send her back very satisfied. However, I can’t help but be a little jealous that she desires doing it without me. It’s not a big deal for her if I say no, but I also care enough that knowing that is her fantasy urges me to want to comply. Does anyone with so much more experience than me have any advice or POV?

Welcome to The Swingers Board! Hopefully you will find your answers here.

The problem I see in MFM relationships is the guy wanting more and more. We really wanted to not be bed hopping and to have an FWB or 2 who were good friends and safe. We had one who we were with for quite awhile, even taking him on vacation with us a few times. But eventually he made his move to break us up and take my wife. After him, we changed a few things we were doing to avoid another event like that. Our best system was to have access to a few guys we could see every month or so. Rare enough to keep it fresh and hot and not enough to develop feelings.

My $.02 is to avoid allowing this but you know you guys and if you are a strong enough couple, it may be ok. Keep in mind, it may be him talking her into this.

I commend JandK's post. The real worry is the other man trying to break up the relationship.

 

Now, if you find her going off with him unannonced hot, and she does too, it might not hurt to do it once. You'll always have that memory. But have an understanding that it's just the one time, that all subsequent encounters must be approved by you in advance. If she can't / won't agree to that, I'd veto the idea.

 

My take - and I could be wrong - is that she's having NRE about this guy. That's cool, that's the kind of thing you want to get into this hobby for; and NRE fades after time. But if it evolves past that, it mean that the primary relationship can suffer. You don't want that, you don't even want the chance of that happening.

 

The best of luck to you . . .

Great advice everyone. I can say without a doubt that he has not been aggressive About excluding me from the relationship. I think it really boils down to two things. The first being that she sees a certain kink in the sanctioned but not forewarned meetup. Additionally, it must be hot for her to imagine how unbridled his sexual vigor would be knowing I’m not there to really intercede. Secondly, she got the sense, as did I, the last time he was there he was a little intimidated by my constant presence watching. We’ve had enough bad experiences but she’s probably also being a little sensitive to making him feel more comfortable, rather than him possibly choose to not interact with us in the future.

 

With all of that being said, I’ve done some soul-searching over the past day regarding why I’m having some jealousy about her playing solo. I get so much enjoyment out of watching, much more so than heavy interaction, That I selfishly feel like I’m going to miss out on the experience by them having sex alone. I know I should be more mature than that, but it’s just so damn hot for me to be there and watch as everything goes down. And to a degree, and after 12 years of marriage, we are having so much fun right now I can’t imagine not experiencing every second. I understand that there are a lot of men and women out there who really enjoy the idea of their partner playing solo, and hearing all of the gritty details after the fact. I guess I just need to decide if that would also do it for me. Then again, an extensive home camera system with recording may help ease the pain. What do you guys think, based on your experience? Thank you so much for your help.

It sounds to me that you have enough concerns to warrant shelving this idea until you are more sure if it's a)something you want

b)something you can cope with

I let my wife do whatever she wants, sometimes it's alone, sometimes she drags me in for her pleasure, sometimes she invites me in with another woman for mine (although I enjoy it all). Two big things for us though, my wife tells me everything, if not before then after. She's my best friend and likes to talk to me about everything, including her sex life. Second, my wife doesn't want any hanger-on-ers, so I don't have to worry about that, she'll kick them out long before I have any problem with it if any guy gets too clingy. But really just all depends on how you guys are, that's our story.

Personally, I could never let my GF have sex with another man on her own. It may be her fantasy but she should respect your wishes and vice-versa. If the other man feels intimidated by you being there, I think that with time, he will feel more comfortable with you being there. This is something that should have been discussed before you two decided to bring other people in to your sex life. I bet she must have concerns about some things and will not want you to do certain things as well. I don't like having my GF off on her own with another guy mostly because of my concerns for her safety. It's a give and take thing when you are involved with another person. Make sure to talk about any other concerns and set additional boundaries if you have to. Good luck!

What about exes? She's been with them before and they're exes for a reason, plus you know they're safe. (Unless someone is violent and then you stay away.)

 

You might have guessed my wife plays with some of her exes. Works good for us.

Mrs Doc had sufficient one on one sexcapades before we met, married and later started swinging. We got into this hobby to share the erotic fun together. While we loosely have hall passes we don't use them often and we won't play without the others knowledge and complicity. Notice that I didn't use the words consent or permission. Part of why we became swingers was to minimize the likelihood of cheating. Our thought was 'why go off on the side when we can pick our playmates together and enjoy them and us at the same time"? If I boinked one of our female playmates on the sly, I'd feel guilty and Im certain my wife would feel that I betrayed her and our partnership. Our swinging days would probably be over. If she boinked one of the guys similarly, I'd be pissed. I'd be pissed at her of course but I'd be more pissed at him for his lack of respect for our relationship. His swinging days with us would be over.

Good advice from all -

 

I think for myself it comes down to why you swing

 

For us the marriage is upmost - swing partners are fun but not needed to be happy with in our marriage and if or when the day comes and one of us says - "well that was fun now lets do something else" Then so be it - even if it came today then swinging would be over in a hart beat.

 

Swinging does not define our marriage it is only something we do because we both like it - i do not buy into this crap about oh i want my wife to have the best bla bla bla - or my husband should have what he wants bla bla bla.

 

So you have to ask your self are you doing it to just make her happy and you not? or could she not go alone - i mean it is to be to the benefit of both is it not? but if you don't get anything out of it why do it?

 

I think you guys need to talk it all out 1st and honestly if it was myself and my wife still wanted to go of by her self and take my reason for doing this away just to suit a play partner then i would not continue with it at all.

 

So if your thing is to experience it with her then do not take anything less just to please her - it's you and her 1st and both of you need to remember that.

Well if they are her exes or guys you know are safe, then I guess it would be ok. That has never come up for me and my GF. If it works good for the both of you, then I don't see anything wrong with it! ;)

Ex's worry me since they are two people who have previously had feelings for each other. It's not that big of a leap for them to start wondering why they broke up originally and at least one of them to think about rekindling a relationship. Also, they usually know your circle of friends (if they are not a part of that circle). It would be easy for them to destroy a reputation by passing around rumors of what you have all been doing together. This is why we think it's better to keep things removed and apart from people you already know.

..........That said, I can't help but have a few questions based on what you've shared so far....

You mentioned that she didn't hit it off with the other women of the couples. Is she jealous of other women being with you? Is this turning into a one-sided thing where she's getting what she wants but you aren't? You said that you really enjoy seeing her with other men and perhaps that's enough. But, if it's not enough you will eventually get frustrated and resent her for getting what she wants while you feel left out. I don't know if I'm on base, but it's worth considering, especially before you go a further step with her playing alone.

 

Julie nailed it.....this jumped at me too...what's the deal with that Rodsteel?

 

Rodsteel, there's having fun....and there's having dangerous fun.

Wanting to please your wife is all good, but forgetting about you so early in the game(4 months)is looking for trouble....once you guys are more experienced, maybe you can both do solo dates, but right now, unless you don't care about being with other women or are into hotwifing, cuckolding, etc.., find a couple before doing another mfm.

It looks to me like you should put your foot down and tell your wife you need to even things out a bit(MFM vs Couples), because I don't think you can count on her to do it for you.

Your right, it doesn't matter how the other guy feels, but it does matter how your girlfriend feels. It's a different experience fucking someone alone than with someone watching. My wife likes it sometimes so she does it. I can understand because I get the difference when were swinging and break off into separate rooms, or ocassionally I fuck one of her girlfriends alone. Different kind of play.

This thing isn’t for everybody, and what’s right for some isn’t right for others. For us it’s about a shared sexual experience, we don’t do hall passes or cheat on one another. Now that’s not to say that we haven’t done separate room romps because we have. We just haven’t gone out on dates without the other, that’s just not our thing. With all cases with us I’m in control of the situation and that’s just from a safety stand point. I don’t have to be close enough to hear her scream out her orgasm, but I will be close enough to hear her scream for help if she ever needs it.

 

The one thing you said that caught my attention is that your third might have felt uncomfortable with your presence. My thought on that is that we always try to be good hosts, but we are the hosts and if he’s not into that then he’s free to look elsewhere for his pleasure. It’s up to the couple to set the rules of engagement not the third. I would also be curious to know if her meeting him without telling you about it was something that your lady is just thinking about, or if this guy has contacted her behind your back and mentioned that as something that he was interested in. I can tell you emphatically that if he is contacting her behind your back you need to send him packing.

 

I can’t tell you what’s right or wrong, that’s up to you two. I can tell you that her meeting another man without you knowing about it has too many warning flags to count. There’s having fun, and there’s being careless, this can be a lot of fun, but it can be real dangerous if you’re not careful.

 

Have fun and play safe, good luck to you two and I hope it all works out for both of you.

Interesting perspective, and I understand. Our situation is a little different. Not every encounter has to be "a shared sexual experience". That's part of the fun. There is also no cheating for two reasons, we already know that we are fucking other people and who they are, and second is we both love to talk about it.

 

Also, we have sex with a regular set of people we have known for a while, so there's no safety concern even if my wife is meeting one of the guys alone. Finally, I know my wife has feelings for one of the guys (I've even heard them exchange "I love you's"), but I see that as positive. He's good to her and respectful towards me(which is part of being good to her), and I MUCH perfer that to some guy who just sees her as a cum dump and is on his way.

You seem to like the idea, especially with her videoing it. Try it, if you don't like it stop.

      Hey guys,
       
      We're new to this whole swinging thing and haven't gotten started yet. The one thing that really bugs me is safety! Obviously condoms for intercourse are a given.
       
      I read an article the other day about how rampant mouth/throat cancer has become because of HPV transmitted through oral sex.
       
      Oral sex with condoms is just about worse than no oral sex at all!
       
      Don't know what to do... how do you all handle safety?!
       
      Thanks!

      Just wondering how many have quit swinging due to STD concerns?
    • By mncurious
      My wife recently returned from opening up our marriage for the first time. It was with a man she met on a recent trip overseas. We talked about it and planned her return trip for months. He sent her any documents she requested and had no problem talking to me if I wanted to. We agreed to split the costs for the trip.
       
      We established clear boundaries and communication expectations. They spent an entire week together and used most of the condoms my wife and I bought for the trip. Only once did the condom break but since we use script birth control, we are not concerned as he gave her proof of being std free. She's still concerned and wants to get tested before we have sex bareback again. We still haven't had sex since she returned.
       
      About the experience
      This was also my very White wife's first time having sex with a Black man. She's 42, her lover's 47. Let's just say she loved her first time having a Black lover. Her orgasms were beyond intense seeing his BBC slip inside of her. His, too as it was his first interracial relationship, too. He was also much more dominant and assertive during sex with my wife and was able to take her from behind and bring her to climax which is very hard to do. I'm much more chill during sex and like her to take the lead. She's okay but much prefers his style.
       
      The only issue from the trip was that one time the condom came off during sex and they didn't notice until it was too late. My wife's a little nervous and is being tested asap, at least for any stds.
       
      Since she returned, we haven't had time to connect sexually due to jet lag, kids, and work. She said it was a really great liberating experience overall. My wife still keeps in touch with him even though they both agreed it was mainly about sex, not a relationship. There seems to be plenty of NRE.
       
      What is the reality from the group here when a married White wife not only has her first swinging experience but with a Black man for the first time, too. So many firsts!
       
      Should I be concerned about anything or is this natural and normal for my wife to want him again so quickly after her first time opening up our marriage? Or is it also being with a Black man who by her own words was so amazing and incredible? Or is it just NRE with her new lover? They definitely have some emotional attachment after being together for an entire week 24/7. Lots of sex, kissing,and travel together. From what she said, their mutual attraction has little to do with race and more to do with just a visceral physical and emotional connection.
       
      We agreed not to share social media messages or emails between my wife and her lover unless she wants to. We also talked about swinging once she returned but she has already talked about going back to see him in Europe next year. They still keep in touch and talk after the trip.
       
      Does this sound like a poly relationship developing or just NRE from the long swinging adventure?
       
      Thanks for the advice and please reply on or offline.

      My wife and I have been married for 14 years and began our journey into swinging over 2 years ago. We have a model marriage, rock solid and exceptionally sexually charged. It all started when our best (vanilla) friends asked my wife to video them having sex, and she was shocked. We discussed it, and I really liked the idea. It didn't happen, but we began discussing our private fantasies. My ultimate fantasy is to watch her having sex with another man. That desire took us down the road to swinging. We found our first swinger couple online, and became full swap. Only rule: We play together; same room sex. On that bases, we're able to signal each other if anything negative comes up.
       
      Fast forward to present day. We've had a mutual (married) friend that we've known since college (15 years). This summer my wife confided in the guy of the other couple that we were swingers. He thought the idea was tantalizing, and immediately started introducing the idea to his wife. Within two months all the ground work had been laid and I ended up giving his wife a massage that ended up nude and I had sex with her (completely sanctioned by our spouses). We were alone in the living room late at night- the other two had left us alone because I was working on my assignment. Upon notifying my wife and the other husband, they went directly to the upstairs bedroom and caught up. This stretched our same room swinging rule, but since we were introducing vanilla friends to the wide world of recreational sex it was acceptable.
       
      By chance we had already planned a mutual vacation in Las Vegas for the following month. In all the hot discussions with our friends with new benefits we ended up negotiating an overnight wife swap. All three of them wanted it, and I decided since it was Vegas, lets try it all. One night became all 4 nights almost right away. I didn't want that, didn't like it, but I reserved judgement. I wasn't going to be the Debbie Downer of the group in Las Vegas. So we went ahead as planned. 4 nights of separate closed door sex. I couldn't believe I had gotten myself into.
       
      Now my wife and her (boy)friend of 15 years have all but established our group as a polyamorous. They only play behind that goddammed closed door, and I hate it. I have the same privilege with his wife, but for me I only consider myself a NSA swinger. Not a closed polyamorous "I love you" relationship. My wife is in love with this guy, we see them on 6 week intervals (240 miles separate us) and I don't know what to do. It's so far along now that I'll destroy the friendship if I pull the All-Stop lever now. I don't see the other-wife that I've been assigned as being in the same attraction class as my wife. He, on the other hand is ga-ga over my wife, and they have talked up a bond that rivals my own marriage. She's admitted to me that they're saying their I-Love-You's behind that damn closed door.
       
      I've imposed time limits on them now, 1.5 hours is it behind that door. My wife respects that and follows it, but I know she (they) want more and likely resent it. I'm iron clad on that, and have shut out all discussions about more time -> all night swaps again. If I had foreseen any of this when we started swinging 2 years ago I would have squashed it. But now I'm here, and I'm conflicted. I can suppress my (is it jitters? jealousy?), but it keeps popping up and I become moody over the worst case scenario of those two running off and starting a bakery together. I don't want to stop what's possibly a good thing, but my primary fantasy has been permanently removed: watching my wife enjoy sex with another man.
       
      I've deleted all our swingers profiles on the lifestyle sites in protest. I might just passively remove myself from the group. I'm so afraid of damaging my awesome marriage over this. Tell me, what would you do?
    • By kayjay2k
      Wow, ok, where to begin...jealousy is tearing me (Mrs. Jay) apart. I've told my husband on several occasions that I am fine with everything and he has developed a very non-threatening relationship with another lady. I know her and we hang out on occasion and she is a great girl! She is not interested in women at all, so it has developed as just an awesome relationship for my husband. And she is completely aware of the situation and totally fine with what she has with my husband and actually knows that eventually she will move on and find a husband of her own.
       
      Unfortunately I have been dealing with a lot of feelings of jealousy, which I never thought would happen and found myself trying to hide it... from myself first and therefore also from my husband. Over the last two months however, it has been rearing its ugly head pretty much every few days. And I have very badly jaded my husband by it. I didn't even realize that it was happening even though my husband on several occasions told me that it was likely the culprit.
       
      I had another freak out session yesterday and have completely turned my husband off to me for the time being. I fear I am trying to hold so tight to him now that I just keep pushing him further away. I feel rather helpless and hopeless at this point. Any constructive advice would be great! (Please no, "you shouldn't have gotten into this in the first place..." We knew exactly what we were getting into.)
