The article is actually quite interesting and at the same time a bit alarming. As a swinger, reading that the general population thinks that the ideal number of past sexual partners for both men and women is 7, concerns me. 7?! Seriously?! I may or may not have had sex with 7 different people in one night! Ok, I have. Don’t judge me! (Lol, nobody in the lifestyle will.)

Technology has made huge, mind-bending strides over the past ten years. Don’t believe me? Well, ten years ago, Instagram and the iPad didn’t exist, Uber was just months old, and smartwatches were really not that smart. Things that were not around are now staples of our marketing departments, morning routines, travel plans, and more. The sex toy industry is capitalizing on these new advances, and customers are benefitting from this brand new marketplace.

We live in a part of the country where people have no tolerance for swingers. It is a religious area and we were brought up to understand that sex is strictly between a husband and a wife. Without the internet, we would never have had access to other swingers simply because there are no clubs for hundreds of miles.

The two of us pretty much do our own thing. No secrets is our only rule. We tried traditional swinging and such but it wasn’t for us. I am not a fan of swing clubs or hotel takeovers because of the predictability. Everyone knows the routine and I prefer spontaneity.

Every person in the lifestyle would like to have a healthy self image but for some, it can be a real struggle. For these individuals, the issue is about more than an extra five pounds or a breakout the day of an event. The types of individuals I am talking about have more serious conditions which makes removing their clothing a whole different ballgame.

Anyone who is in the lifestyle and has children, quickly discovers the challenges involved in juggling this ‘double life’. There are a number of interesting things to consider when you have children and this does not just apply to small children. When you start swinging and your children are young, the biggest obstacle is generally child care.

My husband and I have been in the lifestyle for many years. We strictly play with other couples. Personally, I am not interested in single play and he shows no real interest in watching me play with single men or women. He likes to be involved and so we happily play with other couples.

Sunny Florida was anything but sunny this past Sunday, and so my hubby and I settled in for some Netflix. Cruising through the “things you might like” section we stumbled across a series called Sex/Life. Sounded like something we would enjoy, so we clicked to watch.

I am a runner, have been running my whole life. I’m kind of a female Forrest Gump. Anyway, I have been in the lifestyle for the past 10 or so years. It started when I graduated from college and my boyfriend and I were looking for something more. Sex between us was fine but I think we were both a little bit bored.

Before learning about your jewelry, my wife and I used to play “Can you pick out the swingers?” You know, the game where you sit in a bar or restaurant and try to see if you can guess who else is a swinger.
