The question that comes to my mind is do the journalists actually believe what they write?
The Worksop Journo wrote "the unsavoury leisure activity" but in all my dealings with the press on emotive subjects there's always an agreed 'angle' for the story.
The purpose of newspapers is to sell as many copies as possible, and like most news media, to attract readership and audience its much easier to sensationalise and condemn something than try to understand it and present a more liberal viewpoint.
To be fair, both news articles had interiews with people who are fairly tolerant, and the police spokesman in Stockport is quoted as saying "we have received no complaints from the public", which is not given as much enmphasis as it deserves, but at least it there.

Sex is great no matter what age you are, though it does kind of change a bit, but thats in the head rather than the body.
But in my view, and this is something JGL touched on, the better you give the better you receive :twisted:

I agree that you need to be able to talk about this with your new guy, ultimately, if you stick with him and attempt to give up your lifestyle it will become a bigger and bigger problem for you - and even if resentment doesn't build, disappointment and regret will. Been there, done that - it ain't great.
However, I'd like to propose a slightly different approach, one that is slightly gentler and hopefully less risky in terms of hurting each other.
Sitting him down and talking it through all in one will be a lot for him to take in one go. It will leave both of you with little room for manoeuvre, negotiation or compromise. It might take a bit of time for him to get used to the idea, but he may react very badly and feel hurt and rejected.
If you introduce a bit of kink a little at a time he'll probably be an eager participant, you can build up to the full admission. I think that you'll find out very quickly whether he is open minded about such things in your relationship by doing it this way.
The swinging part is likely to be the most threatening to him so he needs to feel secure with you, and if you've built up the kink well so that he also becomes addicted to it you'll probably find you don't have too much of a problem with the final step.
Think of it like climbing the stairs, its easy one step at time, very difficult scaling a sheer cliff.
Thats how I would do it, but it may not be right for either you as an individual or as a couple.
Good luck and keep the faith.
