I guess this subject isn't directly related to swinging, however I have just had two 5 mega pixel CCTV cameras installed at my house, one covering the front garden and one covering the back garden so we can see anyone approaching the house, and have to say I have been thoroughly impressed by the cameras, not only the quality of the image (very clear indeed at 5 mega pixel) but have also been thrilled that it gives us an early warning system and that most of the time I can see who is approaching the house before they even get to the door, and they are motion activated so if anyone enters our gardens it records, plus I can view them on my phone / computer at work. In years past two incidents have made me wish I had those cameras then. 1: STALKER: Sadly when I first started out years ago we met a single guy who turned out to be a pushy / weird / stalker type of person and he would wait until I (the male of the couple) left for work and then he would come banging on the door when my girlfriend was in the house alone. It went on for weeks, every time I left for work he would wait for about 30 minutes to make sure I was gone and then would come banging at our door trying to get my girlfriend to open the door. I mean luckily my girlfriend was wise enough to look out of the window before opening the door and refused to unlock the door to him, if that window had not been there she would have opened the door thinking it was the mail man and he probably would have forced his way into the house. In the end I had to have time off work and had to physically confront this man to get him to stop which could have seen me getting into trouble or even hurt badly. If I had the CCTV cameras at that point then not only could my girlfriend have seen this man stalking our home / walking up our garden / standing at the door / but also we could have collected evidence against him. 2: PARENTS: Some years ago I was very much enjoying a MFF threesome and was all totally naked in bed having sex when suddenly my parents knocked on my door, it was a rather rushed few minutes as we all got our clothes on and straightened our hair which left me having to explain to my parents why I tuck so long answering the door. Potentially if I had CCTV then I could have seen their car pull up on the road outside my house, could have seen them opening the gate, walking up the garden, it could have acted as an early warning system. OVERALL: I have always been a little concerned that if we invite people back to our home for fun (especially single men) that those people could return to our house over the following weeks, that they could sneak up to the windows and try looking in our house trying to figure out if my girlfriend is in the house alone, perhaps could try and break in our house if they know we are out. On a few occasions over the years we have played with people and they have not only figured out our routine such as what time we leave for work / what time we get home from work / when my girlfriend is in the house alone / but in the weeks that follow have asked my girlfriend to cheat on me and meet them alone. I'm now kind of glad that I have a CCTV camera covering my gardens and road in front of my house, if anyone enters my garden they are now been recorded, I can even set up the CCTV box to send an alarm to phone when it senses movement. I guess there are plenty of bad things that could happen, say for example you invite a couple to your house and they arrive with drink or drugs / end up arguing / end up been pushy / end up in a fist fight / attack you, then at least you have a clear image of them approaching the house. Thinking back I have been in two situations, one where the couple argued badly, and another where the male of the couple was very rude / pushy / aggressive, if anyone had got hurt I'm sure police would have liked a clear image of the people who caused the problem. My take on CCTV is that.... 2 Mega Pixel Cameras - Just not worth the money, poor fuzzy quality. 3 Mega Pixel Cameras - This is suppose to be HD quality, but again isn't that clear and had bad night vision. 5 Mega Pixel Camera - Higher than HD quality, very clear indeed and has better night vision. 4k Cameras - Extremely high quality but expensive. I chose the 5mp option and am really impressed by them. Like stated I have always worried that when we play with people at home that they could return to our house uninvited / when were out / when my girlfriend is in the house alone, hence why my house has security lights / CCTV cameras / burglar alarm / panic switch that activates the burglar alarm. Within only a week of been fitted the CCTV cameras have already given us plenty of "Early Warnings" we can now see the postman walking up our garden path, we can now see parents or delivery drivers pulling up outside our house, most of the time we can be at the door before they even knock. I think for hard working couples / or couples with families then a few CCTV cameras covering the house could potentially be a good move.

We are about to do a first for us, and that is play in our own home. Not a house party really, just us and another couple. We have done the same scenario before with different people, but we were the guests then. They liked separate room and we were up for it, so after some hot tub time, we just followed their lead and paired up in different bedrooms. When we started swinging, we both agreed we weren't interested in swinging at home, so there goes another rule out the window. Before we decided to extend the invitation this time, we talked about it and agreed that we wouldn't play in our bedroom, instead preferring to just make an impromptu play area in the living room or den when the time arrives. We converted our spare bedroom to a TV room for our teenager several years ago since we rarely have overnight company, so there really isn't a spare bed to make use of that doesn't feel like "ours". What about you, do you play in your own bedroom? If not, why? -
I have a general question that arose out of a specific circumstance. As many move forward in the Lifestyle they meet more and more people. Some become close friends, many at least people you see on a repeat basis. How have you handled the fact that when you throw a party or event that has a limited invite list you just can't invite everyone. In vanilla situations this of course occurs all of the time, wedding, parties, etc. But I feel the fallout or hurt feeling may be less, plus in the Lifestyle you may want to maintaining the FWB aspect even with the people not invited. Here's the specific circumstance. I took over as planner for a multi-day swinger event at a vacation destination. It is such that if you are not invited you cannot attend, a private event. I simply can't invite everyone I would like to. How would you explain (or have you explained) to the B and C list people when they learn of the event. -
After reading this thread on photography and swinging, and seeing concerns about being exposed expressed, my thoughts turned to the slightly morbid, but still a possibly interesting and important subject to some. For those that are concerned about being exposed, or putting loved ones in an uncomfortable position: Do you have a Purge & Sanitize plan should the worst of possible events occur; you and your spouse pass away at the same time? Specifically, I'm thinking in terms of playtime pictures, videos, etc. Do you care who sees it at that point? What about computer access? Do you have files that you wouldn't want certain family members to see after you've gone to the big house party in the sky? Have you picked someone to come in and take care of these type of things before the family started sorting through your stuff, or do you figure "Hey, we're gone, so fuck it, they can just deal with it"? If you have picked someone to make the purge, what steps have you taken to ensure they can complete this task unhindered? Yeah, it's not the happiest or most uplifting subject to bring up, but I think it may be a worthwhile discussion.
