Strongly considering swinging without husband knowing

Recommended Posts

I'm a 44 year old black woman living in Southern California. I've been married for 20 years and am still very happy with my husband. Sex with him is still very hot, but infrequent over the last 10 years, since our daughter was born.

 

Lately I've been horny all the time and I have a strong urge to live out my sexual fantasies. My husband and I like to play porn videos when we have sex. I'm very turned all by everything I see in those movies, including the bi-sexual female sex and group sex with men and women.

 

I experienced having sex with 2 men at once when I was in college. It was so good. I still fantasize about that and would love to do it again. I have a strong urge to also experience sex with one or two other women. I have never told my husband about these fantasies or the impulse to bring them to life.

 

It would be great if we could have an open discussion about this and decide to swing together, but that's a conversation I'm afraid to have with him.

 

I have several business trips to Indianapolis scheduled in 2005. Each trip will be about 3-4 days. It occurs to me that I could visit a swingers club and act on these fantasies, without my husband ever knowing anything about it. What he doesn't know wont hurt him. If I did it 2000 miles away, it would probably not compromise my marraige at all. I getting closer and closer to talking myself into it.

 

I'm not looking for anyone on this forum to condone adultory. However, I would like to know about others' first time swinging experiences. I'd like to know if it was all it was cracked up to be. I'd also like to know about what it's like for a woman on her own in one of these places.

 

I'd also like to know if a pretty, 44-year old black woman, with a curvaceous, plump mom's body, would even get any action in one of those places? I'd really like a reality check.

Hi, I live in Louisville and I've been to a couple of swingers clubs in Nashville, and I can assure that you'll get some action, women don't seem to have any problem. You sound like a hot lady, I love women that are into mfm 3somes.

There are a few clubs in Indy. You will probably not have a problem being able to gain experience.

 

You can google all of these places, I think they have websites:

 

Klub Layden (Muncie)

Utopia (Ft. Wayne)

Shenanigans (Noblesville)

Topside 2 ? (Indianapolis)

 

I have never been to topside two, (I think that is the right name) but I do know that it is in a pretty bad neighborhood, and I know as a woman, I wouldn't want to go there alone.

Do you ever wonder what his fantasies are? What are the chances that he's afraid to tell you about them?

 

You're not likely to get much support for cheating on this board, so it might be better to work on the communication problem with your husband. I know you didn't ask about that, but I don't think I'd be true to the standards of most of the members of this board if I failed to mention it.

 

You have an excellent opportunity to open up the communication through the porn flicks y'all are already watching. First, get one that shows an FMF and say something like, "I bet you'd really like that, Darling!" When he admits he would, just say, "So would I!"

 

Then say nothing! Wait until his shock ebbs and listen to what he says.

 

Once the verbal floodgates are open and y'all are sharing intimate details of your dreams, you'll be in a perfect position to live out all your fantasies in the best possible setting: with your husband. The best part is that you will never be afraid to say anything to him again.

 

You'll probably even want to take him to Indianapolis with you.

 

Living a lie is never fun. The stress involved in keeping a secret from your soul-mate could only lessen the joy of the experiences you might have behind his back. "What he doesn't know" will hurt you far more than it hurts him.

 

Let us know what you decide. The members of this board are very supportive and will help in any way they can.

 

Again, we're glad to have you with us and look forward to hearing more of your thoughts and ideas!

A big Dito to what Mr Alura said - he's said pretty well everything I would have done!

 

Go on, talk to your husband! If you phrase it right in the course of one of those videos who knows - you might just find that he's been trying to work out how to bring up the idea with you!

 

Once the open communication really begins, then life just gets better and better.

 

Also bear in mind that although what your husband doesn't know might not hurt him, if he ever does find out (and believe me, once you have visited and played at a club your sex life will undoubtedly change and the change will be noticed) your husband will in all probabilty not be very happy at being excluded.

 

It would be less than great if you come back here in a few months with a sadder tale to tell.

 

Besides, as I keep saying, we do like happy endings.... :)

Hi funnygirl -

 

Welcome to the board.

 

I am so thankful you shared your thoughts with us. Alura's advice is worth more gold than you can imagine.

 

When I decided to tell my husband I wanted sex with other men, it was a giant step in my life. It started with first telling him I wanted different types of sex with him that I thought he would never be open to. But to my surprise, he was. When I told him, his eyes opened wide, he smiled in a naughty way, and I knew I reached a hidden place within him that I should have searched for years earlier.

 

Talk to your husband about your fantasies. You can find a way to live them out together.

funnygirl1243,

If you've got a smile on your face, you'll get action alright. However, if you're happily married, do you wonder if you'll have guilt feelings if you play around? You're probably right, no harm done if you don't get caught. But, wouldn't it be interesting to find out if your husband has fantasies he'd love to share with you?

 

Mr. Alura couldn't have hit the nail on the head any more squarely. For all you know, if you and hubby have similar fantasies, he might just say "Have fun in Indy, Honey . . but tell me all the juicy details when you get back!"

 

Wouldn't that even be more fun?

funnygirl,

I like you was afraid to tell hubby of my fantasies. When I finally got up the nerve. We had a chat. Ended up in a huge arguement and we fought for weeks. I went through the cold shoulder game and the accusations and the constant questions.....to now we speak openly about our fantasies. Come to find out. I just needed to prod him a little. He has several fantasies that will work out nicely to my benefit.

 

As everyone else has said....talk to your hubby. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Hi funnygirl1243,

 

I am not going to tell you you will have any problem finding partners at the clubs for what you are considering because in fact single bi women are in high demand especially if they are willing to play with both the male and the female of a couple.

 

that being said, I wouldn't recomend that you cheat on your husband, and no matter what you want to call it, that is what you would be doing. Once you go down that road you can never undo it.

 

Alura had some excellent advice above, most of us have been there and thought the same thing as you do. If my wife hadn't brought it up we never would have started swinging because even though I had thought of it I would have never guessed she would be into it. She thought the same thing about what my feelings would be and except for an accident of fate chronicled elsewhere on this board the subject would have never come up between us. Boy am I glad it did as we have had a great time with it since.

 

So I would highly recomend you use Alura's advice above and ease into a discussion with your husband about your fantacies and desires and you may be surprised where it leads.

Funnygirl,

 

I see that my darling wife has already responded, and I also have to strongly agree with Mr. Alura.

 

I just have to add my two cents.

 

Funnygirl, in my experience it isn't the sex that hurts a marriage, it is the lying and cheating that do the damage.

 

Please don't cheat on your husband. If you talk to him, and he says no - maybe he sees a valid reason for concern, so ask him to explain his concerns, and treat it as a discussion to learn about each others fears, fantasies and dislikes - not as an interrogation or a negotiation. If he says yes, you will experience an amazing surge in your sex life.

 

Since my wife and I discovered that we shared so many fantasies and have started trying to make each other's fantasies come true, we have had an amazing sex life. I lust after her constantly, we talk about sex, we think about sex, we dress up for each other, it has had an incredibly positive impact on our lives together. You may very well discover the same.

 

To actually answer your questions:

I feel fairly certain that an attractive bi-woman interested in sex would have no problems finding excitement at ANY club she attended (if you were to take a poll - I imagine the results would resoundingly be YES! )

 

Speaking for myself the first visit to a swing club was an incredible experience, the feelings were all mixed up, with some stronger than others but changing at every moment ranging from completely turned on, to anxious, to nervous, to excited, to fearful, to wide-eyed amazement! In fact, every time I go to a club I see something I've never seen before! The best part of the experience though was sharing it and being able to discuss it with the love of my life.

 

I strongly urge you to take Alura's advice to heart.

 

Best of luck to you.

 

Mr. NorthIndyCpl

I think the label "swinging" refers to a couple doing the deed together. You will not be swinging, you'll be having sex with strangers by yourself behind your husbands back. Not a moral lesson just a matter of semantics. My advice is: go for it! be careful and enjoy the experience! maybe you'll enjoy it so much that you'll want to turn your hubby on to the lifestyle but never mention the experience you had in Indy to him. You'll lose his trust. Write back and share . ;)

I am in total agreement with everyone here. Excellent advice has been given. I would like to add one thing....opportunity is knocking at your door.

This is exactly how it evolved for us. I wasn't real receptive in the begining when we started talking about the 'what if's' , but as I became more comfortable in talking about my own sexual fantasies, I was almost more raring to go than Mr. O. ;)

 

Don't jeopardize the relationship you have with your husband...instead, capitalize on this opportunity to learn more about each other....you could find yourself more than pleasantly surprised. ::P:

Welcome to the board funnygirl!

 

I know you didn't ask for this advice, but I have to agree with Alura and most others here on the board. DON'T DO IT! You're welcome to do whatever you wish with your life, but there are no two ways about this. Hiding an act like this from your husband will be difficult due to the change it will create in you, and impossible to hide from yourself. You will bury this betrayal deep inside yourself, but it'll just be buried alive. Sooner or later you won't be able to run from it, and you will have to admit that what you did, no matter how you have rationalized or trivialized it, was wrong. This is not something you will ever be able to rid yourself of.

 

Please understand I'm not trying to go for the holier-than-thou stance here; I'm just genuinely concerned for the health of your relationship and for you. There are far more positive ways of dealing with sexual curiosity/appetite than cheating. Just be brave, take a deep breath and let yourself be vulnerable. Be honest with him and trust him to appreciate the risk you took in telling him. At least you can have said that you'd done your part. He can't ask you to be something other than what you are, which is a vigorous, healthy, sexy woman with a taste for adventure and a fun-loving spirit.

 

If you decide to confide your desires in him, be prepared to reassure him that you're not trying to replace him, and that he is who you choose to be with. I mean use a LOT of reassurance here! And if you can't honestly tell him that you're not trying to replace him, or that you're not unhappy with him sexually, then you guys need to chat about more than swinging. Your relationship needs to be rock-solid going into it.

 

So do your homework, get your relationship into tip-top condition (as necessary), and then approach him gently about swinging. You'll be glad you did.

I often thought that I would go without my spouse, and even moreso lately as she has developed 'selective' amnisia about the discussions we've had over the last 14+ years. As of right now, I'm not sure if she is going to go through with it. I kind of look at this as some sort of prenuct as the conversation only recently turned on me. If she goes...fine. If not, maybe we'll find a compromise, though I don't know what will satisfy me excepet for her to do what she now chooses to remember. I have great fears of a pending divorce, which quite frankly, scares the hell out of me. Mainly because she is on my military health insurance and has not worked for the past twelve years. I've already told her I would not divorce her because of that. We may just have to live apart and go our own way. I think you owe it to your husbend to discuss it openly with him. Cheating is your business, but the real answer MAY surprise you.

Cheers.

You are NOT swinging! You are CHEATING! Period! If you want to have sex with other people get your husband involved. If you lie to him and go have sex with other people you are saying that your fantasies mean more to you than your husband and your marraige. Maybe you should ponder a moment on how you would feel if you found out he's been cheating on you? Sorry we aren't as nice about this as everyone else, but to us you are no different than the married cheating men that come on here. Just the fact that you made the statement "What he doesn't know won't hurt him" is quite appauling.

Others have clearly stated the thoughts on cheating around here, so I'll comment on the two lines above...which only one person commented on that I saw.

 

Yes, a pretty, 44 yo black woman with a curvaceous plump mom's body will be in demand at any of those places. Smile, make eye contact, and say 'hi' and you'll do just fine.

 

But - please make sure you bring hubby along. :)

 

If the two of you decide to go, there are lots of places in Southern Calif to make your fantasies come true - however tame or wild they may be.

Thanks to all of you who responded to my post. This is the most valuable sex-related site I've come across. Just being able to communicate to someone else the thoughts I've been having was a tremendous release. I was able to voice here things I thought I couldn't tell to another living soul.

 

Today, even before seeing your posts...I starting thinking more clearly. I "got" the distinction between swinging and cheating. I realized the cheating aspect would wreck the experience for me. There's no way I could enjoy it fully. Then I'd have a negative memory to deal with for the rest of my life.

 

The reality is that, even though I dated quite a bit before marriage, the best sex I've ever had has been with my husband -- because we hold nothing back from each other. So I'm going to continue in that vein and take the almost unanimous advice here. I'll continue to enjoy sex with my husband and start testing the waters with him on the subject of sexual exploration.

 

I must say that the caring nature of all your responses also reassures me that there when we do start swinging, there are really nice people out there who we can really like. That will make the very enjoyable indeed.

 

Thanks

Take funnygirls post and switch the feminine pronouns to masculine.

 

Now read her post again.

 

Did it feel different?

 

It did to me. So much so, that I am certain my first post would not have been so understanding if funnygirl was funnyguy: a post by a married man.

 

I'm embarrassed that my initial post didn't contain the usual lashing I give married males looking to cheat. A married woman comes to this board and talks about having sex with men without her husband's consent. That's cheating, not swinging.

 

Thank you jcbicouple for bringing this to my attention through your post.

funnygirl1243, You have shown us some insight. Not only did you start a thread on a subject that I'm sure on one hand titillated you but also a site that you really didn't know much about. You did ask for help in confirming that your plan was safe. Yes, it was "safe", but like you said, you would be strapped in the future. You'd have that negative memory in your mind and it could never really become a good one. I think the general population thinks that Swinging is Cheating; so we'd all be for it in your mind, right, and give you the solution and confirmation to your dilemma. Sorry it didn't turn out like you planned...but it could be better!!!!

 

I was a bit surprised at the responses which told you that you would have no problems getting action, etc. Well, unfortunately they are correct. Because there are a lot of other cheaters out there and 95% of them aren't like you. They want to cheat. It's a hideous way of life for them and they know they only have deceit to look forward to each day of their lives. Imagine how their illicit affairs may affect their daily transactions.

 

I commend you for seeing the light and getting on the right track to true sexual freedom and happiness.

Good on you Funnygirl! We are sure you won't regret taking that course - but be sure to introduce the idea to your husband gently and don't push too hard - it might take a while for the full implications (and possibilities) to sink in with your husband.

 

The fact that the best sex you have is with your husband is not only great but probably mandatory for getting the very best out of the lifestyle!

Thank you for noticing. We repeatedly find ourselves appauled that people either think it's ok for a woman to cheat on her husband, or are nice to them even if they think it's wrong, but let a man even mention wanting another woman and the same people try to stone him to death.

 

funnygirl1243 we're very glad you have decided to leave cheating to the morons of the world. It sounds like you love your husband very much and we would hate to think that anyone would lose a relationship like yours just for sex. You may want to start with fantasing about the two of you doing what you see happening in the Porn movies. See how he responds to that, and if it's a turn on for him.....You're probably on your way to the wild time you're seeking minus the guilt of doing it without your husband, and you'll get an even larger thrill by having him involved. You may find that your sex with each other increases too. :)

I guess I don't see your distinction. In her original post, she wanted to cheat and, in fact, said so.

 

I would bet that many of the married men who cheat would also be perfectly willing to swing instead if they could (a) get up the courage to discuss it with their wives and (b) their wives agreed.

 

More couples would probably end up swinging if the mate who originally was interested actually spoke to their spouse about it and then let the idea sink in with their spouse for a good long while before having having any further discussions.

Just when I think I have said something really well I find that you have found flaws in it. Oh well...if that's my curse then I'll live with it.

 

I don't think she wanted to cheat. She wanted a sexual experience to see what it was all about or see how she might feel now that time has passed from her college days.

 

The "95%" I was speaking of (and of course it was just an outrageous guess to help her feel better- :kissface: ) seem to live their lives so viscerally. That's all.

This is the crucial point, Male D; you said it well.

 

I also think FunnyGirl is destined to be known to her husband, if she isn't already, as "Dream Wife" (the same nickname I've given Mrs. Alura). I'll be interested in hearing how it goes.

Thanks, FunnyGirl! Rest assured there are a lot of folks like us in the lifestyle. And they do really care. But, then, I think you're one of us now. So stop by the SwingersBoard from time and give us your opinion on different threads. We can learn from each other.

Just an observation from someone with very little lifstyle experience... If your husband doesn't know, isn't that called infidelity instead of swinging?

Share this post

From the husband's point of view I can tell you that I would be more upset with the idea of cheating than having my wife open up her fantasies to me.

 

Cheating destroys trust.... CONFIDING in your husband about your fantasies BUILDS trust.

 

I know my wife was VERY surprised when I told her that the thought of watching her with another man really turned me on...but she also was excited at the idea as well but was afraid to admit it because of how she thought I would feel.

 

You never know what he might say until you actually let him in.

If you go to a swing club, you _will_ get action.

 

What you need to think about here though:

1) have you really given your husband the chance to share this experience with you? Have you communicated to him that you really need more frequently sex?

 

2) do you have a sense of how to make sure if you proceed on your own that you are protecting your marriage from pregnancy and disease?

 

Personally, I think it is hypocritcal for folks to patronize commercial swingers establishments that allow married folks to attend without their partners and thing condemn folks for using these places this way. If you really don't want to deal with "cheaters"-there are clubs that are pretty careful in how they screen folks.

 

By the same token, I think it is silly for folks to actively do stuff like watch pornos and _not_ expect their partners might want to take things to the next step-with or without them.

      My wife and I have been together for 22 years, married 16 and have always had a good relationship. We've been in the LS for just over 4 years. Our first full swap was 3 1/2 years ago. She hit it off with the other guy great; she described him as a tomcat seeking prey. Apparently she likes a somewhat domineering male. Although I was with his wife 1 or 2 times, I really didn't feel the right chemistry, so that was it for me, with exception of some parties we had where it just worked out that I did her. He had asked my wife to call him after that first time, and they have been in in phone contact ever since, once or twice a week, which I had no problem with because my wife has always been upfront with me about all.
       
      When it was known that his wife wasn't my type, he told my wife not to tell me that they had phoned each other because he didn't want me going into aol chat and telling his wife that they had been in contact. Apparently he kept things from his wife. My wife tells me everything so I said that wasn't cool at all. Nevertheless, after 1 MFM with my wife and him, I wasn't into him telling my wife to keep things from me, and him going behind his wifes back to do as he wanted. My wife was enamored with him and though I expressed my grave concern that he was cheating on his wife, I allowed my wife to get together with him on occasion, like once every few months over the past few years but still saying I didn't like him keeping this a secret from his wife, as its something I never would do.
       
      Fast forward to our local club last month. We were chatting with a couple newly acquainted with us in our off premise club, and they said they knew that other couple (we didn't say anything about my wife being with that guy for the past 3 years occasionally), but the other couple says "we know them, his wife cheated on him a few years back; he found out was pissed and told the other woman and they nearly got divorced over it."
       
      Well that was it. When I heard that drama, I said to my wife "that's VERY uncool, and if relative strangers are knowledgeable about their drama, you will probably become known as the other woman of a cheating spouse, and we'll be blacklisted from our local LS community."
       
      So anyway, last night I said why don't we have 3 couples over Sat night because we've only gone dancing at our local club for the past month but haven't had any playtime. She said great, and that she had planned to go out on Friday night with this guy if ok with me. I said, here I am thinking about something for both of us on Sat., and she already has made plans for herself on Friday for an intimate encounter. So now I'm thinking that she really only goes along with all our playdates to keep me in the game, so I'll allow her to keep on going with this other guy. I called her out on it, and she says she just really likes him, but if I demand it's over then she'll be mopey and dissappointed, but will have to deal with it. Anyway, we talked some more and as a solution I am trying to convince her to convince this guy to get his wife in on it; I'll do his wife to take one for the team (she's actually very foxxy) for my wife to be happy and see the guy, but for her to keep on going with him while he's doing it all behind her back is just not cool with me.
       
      What do you think? Thanks.

      On SLS, vanilla sites, and everyday life I have come across married men pretending they are single. Often I can filter these guys out quickly but looking for tips from others. I like to be sure I am having honest fun.

      Put up a ad on CC it was flagged which I really don't get. Someone answer before hand. We exchanged email most of the day yesterday. He is married wants to see his wife with another man. But at the end of the emails he told me that his wife wouldn't not be part of it but he was still willing to do it be behind her back. I don't feel comfortable about it.  We don't want or need the drama that may come with it. I told him we are going to pass didn't feel comfortable without his wife.

      I am ranting. I have tried a different site, Feeld. Chatted with a “single male”. He wanted to be sure I understood the “lifestyle.” Yes. After a fair bit of chatting we decided to meet halfway, a little over a 30 minute drive for me. Brief introductions were exchanged and we started talking lifestyle experiences. I asked if he found it challenging as a single male. Then he said he needed to “clarify” so there wouldn’t be any “expectations.”
       
      Yes he is married but his wife is blind and they didn’t talk much about his outside activities but she is aware. I needed to clarify if this meant she would be upset by what he was doing. Yes. That’s cheating in my book and I left. My mistake was not confirming his status. I don't have a problem if the other partner is fine with it and have enjoyed meeting the other half in the past. His actions are not ENM at all. He sent some message how everything isn’t black and white. I doubt the wife is so blind she can’t see what an asshole he is. The excuse itself is offensive. I flagged his profile as fake because it is. Some people are okay with cheaters but I am not, won’t knowingly hurt someone else.
