“Discover the truth about swinging lifestyles as we debunk common misconceptions. Explore the world of consensual non-monogamy and the importance of trust, communication, and emotional connections.”

So, we are continuing with our look at the History of Swinging. In the last article we considered the evolution of the term “Swinging” into the new nomenclature of “Consensual Non-Monogamy,” and genesis of Polyamory, as derivative of Swinging perse, as well as the social profile of Swinging and Swingers. Now, we’ll look at the early establishment of Swingers organizations, and the development of Swinging in an organized, and influential social group.

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.

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.

“How do you feel being nearly nude and seen by thousands?” “How do you feel about thousands of people seeing me nearly nude?” These simple questions led to more complex discussions about our relationship and how we would feel about doing more. Even then we were flirting with the idea of swinging.
