No, it's like bringing your steak to a steak tasting party so you can sample many different kinds of steak at the same time and still go home with the original steak you brought.

There are plenty of couples who are into this... BOTH halves of the couple.

that's the way i see it. it's not like your SO is going to be any different after being sampled by several guys while your still with him/her.

it's not like they are cheating on you, because you know when and who he or she screwed.


sheesh.

Good for them.Sorry but I find that sex gets better over time with somebody who actually gives a damn about me,.Besides,from what I've read that kind of lifestyle generally ends up destroying the marriage.

i don't see the harm in having responsible adults swapping partners on occassion. like i stated above, what changes about your girlfriend when she has sex with another man or woman? it's actually good to experience a multitude of different partners, of course in a safe manner. 🙂

How about the love you share for that ONE person??? How about that bond??? You'd break that sacred bond between two people just for SEX with another person?

Exactly....either the marriage or any other type of relationship.

Most men can "handle it" when it's just them but when they think of
their SO with someone else they get the same reaction that NFS4
got when he thought of someone with his!

I would think for most of the population it's something that just won't
work at all.....
 
Me yes 🙂

My Fiance no 🙁

Not necessarily. A mate of mine runs a swinging group and there are very strict guidelines for behaviour, incuding approaching people & intimate touching.

With he and his wife they have further guidelines, if he would like to shag someone, she has to meet and approve before any action (and vice versa). They have a yellow card and red card system when either partner feels that things are going too far.

I have seen this develope over the last 3 years or so and I have noticed that they become closer and closer. He has confided in me that he gets more (and better) sex from his wife that he did before they "swung".

Having said that, the lifestyle is not for everyone.

Sex does not equal love nor does it form a strong bond. Having sex with another person does not break the bond you have for your SO.

That's just MHO, I could be wrong. 😉

Edit: Yeah, i'm playing devils advocate here.

Totally not true. Sure it does happen but from what we have seen those marriages were long on their way to being split before the subject of swinging ever came up. The couples we know who are into the lifestyle are the most rock solid couples you could ever meet. if anything if both parties are in agreement to doing it, the experience makes the relationship much much stonger.
 
OMGWATERMELON I can't remember the last time something made me laugh as hard as this thread! No disrespect meant to NFS4 and his hilariously increasing levels of shock and disgust of course.

Personally, I don't think I could go for this kind of thing. I'm a 1 woman man I guess. I can kinda see how it might work ok for some people though.
 
NFS4, question for you. do you and your SO watch porn together?

if so, just consider this. just think of a club part is just one big ass live porn. much better than the tv as you can see it in 3-D, hear it in 3-D and smell it in 3-D. and if you so wish you can touch and be touched. 😀
 
I'm amazed by how opposed people are to this. You don't like it, fine, no one is making you go. Jeez. This idea that you cannot seperate sex from a relationship may be your point of view, not everyone agrees.

Swingers parties are for people who see a distinction between sex and being in a loving relationship, and who don't take sex all that seriously.

Actually I kind of am too, I usually think of people as pretty conservative on sex issues. I actually meant how opposed some individuals seem to be. Not liking it is fine, multiple angry posts seems a little bit overdone.

I agree, Citrix - when this thread started, I was expecting a flamewar by now...

You have to remember, most of the people here haven't had sex, or even seen a bewbie, so the though of sex with lots of people is too much for them to handle 😉
So they say they would be up for it.
 
:camera: pics?

Red Rooster in Las Vegas.... AMAZING!!! A good time was had by ALL!!!

LOL! We do that in preschool and kindergarten. You need to stay on green, and if your card gets changed to yellow or red, you are in trouble!

I'm not going to judge people who swing, but I think that it is equally wrong to judge people who find the thought horrifying. Much of this behavior is brain based, and we may just be biologically different. I know my husband would NOT want to swing. Me having sex with someone else would not sit well with him. That doesn't make him 'wrong' or bad, just simply not a swinger.
