Wrong not to disclose safe sex requirement?

Recommended Posts

We are 40-somethings, less than six months into the lifestyle. But we've played plenty in that time. Met a couple a a party last weekend. 50-somethings, and plenty experienced. We got to talking and touching in the pool. While Mrs. DontStop and the male continued pool play, I led the female upstairs. Since it was obvious from the underwater action she was ready to mount me right there, I told as we headed up that we play safe. She said ok, but her husband didn't have any condoms.

 

We played upstairs and later they joined us. After some time he was ready to mount Mrs and we stopped him and said "You gotta wrap it first."

 

He didn't say much after that, and within in a few minutes he said he was taking a break and left the room, and us in a FMF situation.

 

Did we fail here, not expressing safe play to him ahead of time?

I don't feel you did wrong.

 

In 30+ years I have never felt the responsibility to bring others "party supplies" to the party. If they come to party they should come prepared or not to party.

 

Guess I am to much on personal responsibility to see that others take care of their self.

Susan here--Okay, you went to Play and only had one condom for yourself. You really ARE new at this. He chose to remove himself from the environment rather than express frustration in the moment. Sounds like a real gentlemen to me.

 

The only way I would view this as a failure is if you allowed it to occur again. I admit that when we Play I have 5 to 10 condoms in my purse. Lastly, next time, have your wife rock his world.

Poor assumption there. We had plenty... I always have at least half a dozen Magnums for myself, and there are plenty more in different shapes and colors on hand for those times when Mrs. is in a separate room. We've never liked that the majority of the couples we've met consider condom use an afterthought, but it is what it is and we are prepared.

 

If he said "I don't have one" we'd have certainly pointed to where they were (we've unfortunately have done this plenty of times). What he did was stop trying to penetrate. Then he worked Mrs with his hand for a bit. Then eventually he got up and left.

 

Mrs. says in retrospect, "If he's gonna go pout in the corner, that's his loss." She had spent plenty of time working on him orally and he was reciprocating when this all happened.

Since we play safe we always carry extra condoms too. I feel that we should have them for both the Mr and myself, since we are the ones who want to use them. I have never had a problem with someone not having any but I dont want there to be a first time. That being said I do feel that every couple should bring their own.

Who the hell goes to a swing party without condoms?

 

Yeah I know some swingers have an almost religious fervor in explaining how condoms are not somehow 'safer' than bareback but that's not the issue.

 

The issue is many swingers will insist on them so you might as well have them as it beats not getting any.

So is the guess here that he just didn't want to play with a condom on and decided to leave instead of putting one on?

 

Or that he felt embarrassed that he didn't have one?

 

Sounds to me like he plays bareback most of the time.

Well, I do apologize for the misunderstanding on my part. Yet, certain facts were left out that would have helped me out. That being said, with the additional information, what you really had was a Play experience that went badly because of expectations on both sides. Probably best to move on.

Amen, Chicup!

 

We insist on condom use, and always bring enough to share. Believe me, nobody (myself included) prefers condoms to bareback. And, no, condoms alone aren't a silver bullet to protect 101% against all STDs/STIs. However, we drew our line there when we made our rules, and we're definitely not alone in that.

 

In or out of the lifestyle, all men should expect to be asked to wear a condom during intercourse unless explicitly told otherwise. Period. That way, if that's not the expectation, at least you won't be unprepared.

The guy was trying to get away with doing your wife bareback, which undoubtedly started in their pool play. When you called him out on it, his intentions were made public. He was embarrassed and probably was about to head into some form of limpness and wanted to avoid the humiliation. That's what I gather. it was never really about having condoms or not; someone can ALWAYS find 'em at a swing party somewhere.

Here's what I do: When we decide to go to a room I say, "Do you have condoms?" (I think it's better for guys to use what they are most comfortable with). If he says, "No," I give him mine and tell him that condoms are our rule. I've never had a problem with this. I think stopping someone right before penetration is a little off-putting, I would just try to broach the subject earlier. It sounds like he wasn't the best match or most respectful guy, so I wouldn't worry that you did something wrong.

 

We are continually amazed by the number of people we encounter who play bareback. Some complain a little after the fact/ask to play bare next time, lol, but of course everything is great during. Most are fine with respecting our rule and are gracious about it.

Thanks... that's very sound advice. Admittedly I'm more of the opinion of VegasLee, but we always (and will always) have plenty of condoms on hand. I'll recommend to Mrs that she explicitly state condom use before things get too hot and heavy.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

 

We always have condoms with us before we go to a party or out to meet a couple. Usually we have a whole box and if anyone needs one we share.

My take on this is that this guy was probably hoping to get away with bareback. After all, who goes to a swinger party without condoms these days? I know there are folks who do play bareback, but in our experience, most don't (especially at parties/clubs). Not to mention, all he had to do was ask to borrow one if he were willing to comply.

 

That said, it might be a good idea (just to avoid frustration) by making your rule clear up front. Better yet, wear this shirt. ;)

Ya know, this is sort of an irritating trend we've seen lately, especially with "older" swingers. Mrs. P and I are in our 30's, which puts us in the "young-in" range, so play with folks older then us are the norm, and we actually prefer it. In any event, especially lately, we've run into a string of guys who seem to assume that bareback is okay with the Mrs. This creates two problems. One is she has to throw out the stop sign in the heat of the moment, and the other is, if she's not paying attention in a group environment, *I* have to play "goalie", which obviously takes me out of the game or at least severely hampers my ability to pay attention to the things I SHOULD be paying attention to.

 

It all comes down to respect. Depending on the situation, I will either always roll one on, or at least ASK her what she prefers. As a man, I find it disrespectful to assume a partner is okay with bareback. I mean, dudes, I KNOW it feels better without, but c'mon, man, where is the fooking respect? I can't fathom the thought of just diving in without some form of green light from her!

I owe you a beer my friend, because that's what it IS all about... respect.

Typically Mrs. Exploring has condoms with her. She prefers a particular brand, and we don't always play together, especially at parties.

 

But I agree that assuming bareback ok is way wrong!

      Ok so this may be a bit taboo and yes there are plenty of issues that come with this… but our conversation (and fantasies) revolve around swapping and sex in this fashion.
       
      It might sound silly but is this frowned upon in swinger circles? Would we be blacklisted or is there a place for this?
       
      We wouldn’t be sleeping around and maybe hope to find a regular couple or 2 to have this fun with, but as a general rule what’s the community’s approach to those coming in and looking to have bareback sex?

      My wife isn't into oral in general, she'd rather use her hand or feet. Would her not performing oral or no wanting oral on herself an issue for getting into the LS community?

      Met a single guy for a date recently. I really liked him. We started to play a little and when I touched his cock I felt a small scab on the shaft and a bump just at the base --not on the penis but like in the area around the base.
       
      I know I should've asked him about it then but I didn't. I diverted the session back into a heavy make out with no other play.
       
      I ask my husband's advice about it upon returning home and he offered up several explanations of what it could be- a mole (he had one removed from that area after all), razor burn irritation, an ingrown hair. The scabbed area on his cock he said could be from jerking off too much/too hard- he admitted to getting those sometimes in his single days when all he had was his hand.
       
      I am not trying to make excuses for him but just really trying to look at both sides. It could be HPV or herpes (I dont think so though-- the bump was rather large for herpes I think--and not clustered). I'm more concerned about HPV but I wouldn't say the area was flat either- it felt like a raised bump- like how an ingrown hair or mole might feel.
       
      It doesn't make sense to me that he'd expose his cock to me with a raging infection of some sort but obviously, I'm not about to take that chance. He also offered zero explanation for it at the time which makes me wonder. I also did not ask him about it though.
       
      Since we were in a parked car, I did not see it at all. I only felt it long enough for my hand to glide down the shaft of his cock.
       
      I'm scared to offend him. I know I need to bring it up to him (I will not play with him without answers) and I know he deserves the chance to explain it to me. After all, it may be completely harmless but I know it's my right to ask these questions and get answers.
       
      Such a sensitive topic. I know that being direct and honest is the best way to deal with this but thought I'd ask others advice before bringing it up to him.
       
      So guys, how would you like to be approached in this situation?
       
      Ladies, have you found yourself in a similar situation? What a did you do?
       
      I thought about sending him an email - I realize that's somewhat of a cop out but that way it gives me time to write out what I want and then gives him time to process it and decide how to respond.
       
      Advice? Comments? Suggestions? All are appreciated.

      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!

      I thought it would be interesting to find out other peoples views on the subject of safe sex/being surgically safe. N8tureGirl and I have been in the lifestyle for just over a year now, and we’ve found that most of the males of the couples we’ve played with are not surgically safe. I am V-safe and as of this month, N8tureGirl will be surgically safe also. What I would like to know is: Why don’t more people address this issue? I do realize that there may be some people out here that might still wish to have children, but for the most part, if they haven’t had kids by now, what are they waiting for? After all, most of us here are 30 somethings or older. I have been frustrated by people, (men in particular), who seem to think that it should be our responsibility to make sure a pregnancy doesn’t happen. Condoms don’t always work, and most people say that they don’t like using them since it does change the sensations felt or not felt. To further my opinion on this matter, sterilization is much less expensive and uncomfortable for the men than the women.
       
      When we got into swinging, we didn’t think about the fact that we were going to have to spend thousands (literally), on having the Mrs. fixed so she could enjoy herself without that concern hanging over her head. We’ve been told by more than one man that he was afraid that having the procedure done would hurt. This is a WTF moment for me, is there no pain in bearing a child? What about the financial pain of raising an unplanned child, or worse yet, the emotional pain of terminating an unwanted pregnancy? To me, this smacks of being self centered and makes me want to tell the guy that he can play with us once he gets his business taken care of. Fortunately, that will soon no longer be an issue for us.
       
      I just wanted to hear other peoples' opinions on this issue.
