Swinging

[oggy777]

Any acctually tried it and enjoyed?

[Ice.Maiden]

No. It's for the sad and dysfunctional, because although they probs think they're having a hell of a good time, they've really never met anyone who loves them enough to be happy with just them.

[oggy777]

thanks for your view "ice". Speaking from experience or just your point of view? You acctually know any couples that have tried it and hated it?

[MrsT]

I tried swinging and then I had a go on the slide and then the seasaw, it was great, those roundabouts look scary though.

[Ice.Maiden]

I know people who've tried it. The relationship's always come to grief. If it was you, & your partner suggested it, wouldn't there be just a little part of you that wondered why? Wouldn't you wonder if your partner was bored with you, or wonder if "you weren't good enough"?
It may work for some couples, but if you have a special love between you, you wouldn't want anyone else to join in. That's just an observation. Others may think differently.

lol@ mrs T, just what i was going to say, almost, the same. : O )

Oh blimey no- the thought of subjecting any one else to my wobbly bits horrifies me, plus I can't afford their therapy bills when they are sobbing in a corner after seeing me in all my glory (?!)

The thought of my partner going with anyone else makes me feel sick and i know that he feels the same about me going with anyone else!
how anyone can enjoy watching or knowing about somebody else been intimate with there partner is beyond me!
i think sex is a very personal thing and 'sharing' my partner definitely does not appeal to me.

However, i do know a few couples who enjoy it, but it usually comes at the end of a drug fuelled party...where it just turns in to a mass orgy!!! discusting, tacky and unnecessary if you ask me.

Ask Steve McFadden alias Phil Mitchell? He seems to enjoy it.

[Whickerman]

It's not that uncommon, and so long as everyone's consenting then there should be no real moral issue.

Is it good for a relationship? No idea, but I can't say I'd be hugely comfortable with it if it was a regular thing. Once-off or special occasion? May be different, I'm not sure.

[B00]

Seriously Whickerman?

A one off special occasion? Like ya wedding anniversary? Now the mind does boggle!

[Whickerman]

At this point i should point out i was speaking generally, and not about Mrs Whicks and me - she's not happy.

[cazzz1975]

I know a couple not very well but they were known as swingers, they are still married but they are quite distant with each other, you would not think they were a couple.

I would imagine the swinging filled a void?

[Whickerman]

some advice here:

Had someone at work who, along with his wife were swingers, don't know what happened to her, but he's been sacked, and now has a criminal record,, might be unrelated, but he was caught with a daughter (underage) of one of the couples they swung with.

[Ice.Maiden]

I might be old-fashioned in outlook, but I think it's just a seedy pastime for those who have no imagination and need to fill a void in their lives. I'd like to know what happens after the kicks've been got and there's nothing left to "experiment" with. It might appeal to a certain type of person, but then they've never been in love properly, have they?
