Shagging vanillas:
If you have affectionate, cuddly sex, they think you want a relationship.
If you have decent conversations with them, they think you want a relationship.
If, god forbid, you want to shag them on a second occasion, they think you want a relationship.
You are, after all, a woman and thus incapable of shagging anyone without falling madly in love and wanting to have lots of babies. RIGHT NOW.
Having decided you must want a relationship, they then react in one of two ways. They either get weird and uncomfortable and call you 'mate' a lot (while still shagging you every time they have a few drinks), or - worse - they want one too and start confessing undying love every five minutes and you have to change your phone number and stop going to your favourite pub.
Nah, I don't bother with vanillas anymore.

I haven't been skiing for waaay too long. Let's have a ski trip and take everyone and teach them all to ski - built-in entertainment on the slopes, and then there'll be all sorts of painful bruises that need soothing afterwards... wink
On my route home from work every day, there's a point where you drive up a hill and round a corner, and as you come over the rise there's a gorgeous Somersettian view of fields and villages and sheep and loveliness. I get an overwhelming feeling of 'Shit, I love my life!' every time I see that.
Don't mind snakes as long as they don't mind me - rats are quite cute as long as they're not of the pink-eyed variety. Don't like spiders.
Absolutely terrified of cockroaches.... and I think I know where that phobia comes from. When I was about six, I was playing hide-and-seek, and hiding in a dark garage, and a cockroach ran up my leg - I panicked like mad, cried for an hour, and lost the game. mad

I saw them at Reading last year, headlining on sunday night, listening to them perform " time of my life (good riddance)" as the closing song of the festival as a relationship crashed and burned around me... sad but unforgetable...

I was once walking away from a pub - and a relationship - and I walked past a busker who was playing that song. I gave him all the money I had on me. A very special song, always brings a lump to my throat.
IMHO, the best test of morality is one's concern for the wellbeing of others. Living morally means living in a way that hurts nobody, but that rather brings happiness, kindness and love to as many as possible - oneself included. Loyalty, friendship, respect - those are my moral standards.
And by those standards, the people I've met so far through SH are some of the most moral people I know. kiss
Awwwww. :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:
I haven't met you but that's wonderful news - everyone loves a happy couple! Congrats both of you, and may you live happily ever after.

Missed this one first time round...
I think mine would be REM at Glastonbury 1999. I lost my friends in my efforts to get to the front, and suddenly found myself alone, three people back from the stage as they started 'Losing My Religion.' It was just one of those moments when you really feel like you understand why you're here. I stood with tears running down my cheeks, grinning like mad, and looked round to see that everyone around me was in the same state.... a guy behind me put his arm around me, I grabbed the hand of the woman next to me, and about twenty of us had a 'Glastonbury moment.'
Beautiful.
I saw it on Saturday and actually.... I didn't like it that much. I love the books (Fallen Angel, you're not the only one who was at the shop at midnight redface ) and just thought there was too much they had to miss out of this one. I know they had to or it would have been ridiculously long.... but I felt it lost an awful lot, and a lot of things were included briefly and sometimes confusingly, just because they moved the plot forward. This is the first of the films that has felt 'dumbed down' to me.
And Hermione, gorgeous as she is, had always irritated me intensely - and the older she gets, the more irritating I find her! Bless whoever cast that gorgeous boy as Cedric Diggory, though. Always had a bit of a thing for him in the book, and the film didn't disappoint. :twisted:
Shit, Vix, scary stuff - that's so weird, about an hour ago I was driving home through the fog and wondered whether you two were out in this as well!
Hugs for you both, and glad you're safely back in the warm now. Aren't the RAC lovely?
Looking forward to seeing photos of the 'butt crack' :P

Hi Kev and Tara
I've just had a look at your ad - should first add that I'm a single bi fem, and have replied to photo ads before and met couples through them, so it does happen! smile
OK, my tips on your ad - and I'm trying to be critical, because it sounds like you're open to suggestions! The content so far is pretty good, but it isn't presented well - you've used a lot of abbreviations and some txt spk, which I find off-putting. It also helps to use line breaks even if it means your paragraphs are short - reading a big chunk of writing hurts your eyes! It's worth spending some time going through it making it look nice.
Also, you can never say too much about yourselves - get all the relevant info (location, age, what you're looking for) at the beginning, so no-one has to read too much and then find out, for example, that they don't meet one of your requirements. But then it might be nice to write a bit more detail about yourselves, your relationship, your sense of humour, your taste in music - I've only ever replied to ads that, for some reason, make me think 'i'd like to spend time in a pub with these two.'
Apart from that, all I can say is what everyone else will - there are a lot more couples here than single women, so it does take time. Keep updating your ad, join in on the forums, come to a munch if you can manage it.
Good luck!

I really, really, really want one!
:happy:

Me too!! They're so pretty! And then we can live in hope of having a stranger come up to us in the street and say 'Excuse me, is that pin what I think it is?' biggrin

Never joined the mile high club, but does the 12 foot club count? Rear seats of a double decker bus. There was nobody up their so we thought we got away with it. When we left the bus the drivers face was a picture:
WE HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE BLOODY PERISCOPE

That is, word for word, the story I was about to tell!!!
Apart from that... on a hotel room balcony in Corfu - lots of comedy double-takes from people in the street below! In a swimming pool at an open-air nightclub in Bali - but we weren't the only couple, by a long way. On some swings in a playground on the way home from the pub one night, when we just couldn't wait to get home. :twisted: On the beach - and really, really, don't bother! It's uncomfortable and scratchy and then you have to walk home covered in sand and get lots of funny looks from everyone you pass.
Fantasy... somewhere green, sunny and outdoorsy, but with NO dog shit and NO rocks biggrin
I read a lot - all sorts of stuff. I try to read a lot of stuff from good prize shortlists, anything with really good reviews, and try to read anything someone recommends to me; also read a lot of travel stuff, historical fiction, even the odd detective novel.
I read a few peoples' blogs quite regularly, although I've never kept one myself.
I still think of myself as a backpacker even though the last time I really went 'backpacking' is over a year ago... so I spend quite a bit of time planning hypothetical trips, floating about on backpacker websites, keeping in touch with friends I've made travelling who are all over the world etc.
I really love theatre, although I've just moved house and haven't yet found a local am-dram group - when I do, I'm sure that'll take up quite a bit of my time. In the meantime, I try to get to see something either at a local theatre or in Bristol as often as I can afford it.
I used to volunteer at a helpline in my old area, and am looking for a new one around here so I can start doing the same sort of thing again.
And of course, there's SH.... biggrin

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I've decided to worry about it when it happens.... I'm young, I don't want a long-term partner for a while yet. Hopefully any man I ever fall in love with will be open-minded enough to at least consider swinging. All I know is that it's looking less and less lkely that swinging is something I'll be able to give up for someone else!
Me three.
And do you find yourself looking over peoples' shoulders on the train, thinking 'ooooooh, you've gone wrong, you're going to spot that in a minute... come on, please spot it.... oh, you muppet.' ?
I LOVE this thread! biggrin
No less than five separate people bought me 'Eats Shoots and Leaves' when it came out. Fine, I take the hint - I can be a bit overenthusiastic about punctuation issues.
But I am good in bed... does that make it OK? :lol2:

Welcome to the site. I hope you will join in as much as possible - not everyone here is an active swinger, so you have as much to offer the community as anyone else here. Get to know us, have a chat, and you'll find that we're actually a very friendly and accepting bunch - with those who make the effort.
I'm sure you were expecting the difficult reception that this news has had, but if you keep your promises you will win our loyalty eventually. I for one intend to stick around until it really looks like SH has irretrievably changed for the worse - and I hope that will never happen.
Good luck - I know these first few weeks will be hard work!

Great big hugs for everyone... and I just want to say, you guys are great. Whatever happens to the site, we're all still us, and that's what's important. It'll be ok.
Hugs hugs hugs,

Just had a bath, so I'm still in my dressing gown and all ready to pop into the jacuzzi... and Dawn, here's a great big bottle of vodka. Let me pour us both a glass.
<clink, clink... pour... hands one to dawn.... gulp.... ahhhhhhh.>
Anyone else want?

I want to extend my thanks for giving me a whole aspect to my sexuality I would have strugled to find without SH and the people in here, the policies you set up and the way it was run. For allowing me to have a space in here to develop who I am, to try new things and to move forward emotionally and with experiences I wouldn't have had without SwingingHeaven.

I couldn't express my feelings any more exactly than by quoting what Gem said.
So thank you, Mark, for putting SH here in the first place and working so hard on it for so long. It must have been a hard decision to give it up. I hope it all works out for all of us and that we can keep enjoying ourselves here in the future, but for what you and SH have already given me so far, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Wishing you love, luck and happiness in the future.

today was going badly anyway... the heating broke at work and it was so cold we all got sent home, which is crap because I'm temping so I only get paid for hours I work, then on the way home some arsehole of an HGV driver came screaming onto a roundabout and nearly hit me and I had to pull over and sit there shaking for five minutes.
And then this. I feel like crying. I'm going for a bath... back in a sec to check what's happening.
And.... I don't know Mark. I guess some of you do. I realise this must be a hard day for him as well.... but it would be nice to hear from him and know what his reasoning is, why he decided to sell. If it's anything other than money.
Thank you to everyone who's asking sensible questions, I hope they all get answered satisfactorily. As for me, I'm just going to sit here feeling lost and shell-shocked and really, really hoping that somehow (can't imagine how...) this works out so that I don't lose SH just when I've really started to enjoy it...
Fingers crossed. I can't see how this can be a good thing. I only hope it isn't terminally disastrous, becuse SH has become so important to me, and I couldn't bear to lose all of you. sad
Hugs, everyone....

Walked around Brisbane naked at 4 in the morning once with a guy I'd met at a backpackers hostel. That was fun. Ahh, to live in a country with a warm climate.... biggrin
