Hi. I'm looking for material for a book I'm hoping to write in the very near future.
I'm interested in your different experiences on the scene. categories include dogging, couples swinging, group, fetish parties etc etc.
Anyone wishing to submit an experience (good or not so good) can email me at geronimo_
I'm looking for a few brave souls for interview in order to include them in the book also.
Total discretion is absolutely guaranteed and names, places etc will be changed if required.
If anyone wishes to submit a picture it MAY be included.
A phone number can be providedupon request and I'm happy to meet and chat as I mentioned above with reference to interviews.
I think this could be a very interesting project and I look forward to responses.
A word to the moderators here..Mark has given me permission to post.
Thanks.
Rick.
Hiya Geronimo,
Good luck with the book, what is your aim in writing it?

Is the book commisioned? If so, which publisher?
With the greatest of respect, I would like to hear it from Mark that you have his permission. I am sure Mark would not mind putting up a simple "yes - I said it was okay".
Hope the book goes well and I am sure you will have fun with the research.
Love
Wilma

(if you see Fred, DON'T publish anything he says!!!)
If I find out who the publisher is, I might be able to get some free copies (for educational purposes, of course wink )

I thought after a couple of weeks away from this joint things might change a little... only the names of the contributors seem to vary.
A book is it?
So far this year we've had two T.V. progs, a radio interview, three films and a magazine article that we've all been asked to 'contribute' towards...
Can't you lot get out and do some shagging yourselves and leave us alone? Being someone who knows what it's like spending hour upon hour locked in an attic suffering the dreaded 'block'... (why so you think I spend so much time here?)... I can tell you that casual sex is the best antidote to a lack of inspiration - something which the rest of the human race classes as bone idleness .
In a nutshell.... no, I don't want someone who can spell better than me to make money out of my hard screwing. I'm much rather turn my experiences into an ep of Holby.
Yours... Shagged Out.
biggrin
kiss We've missed you H
Shagged Out.
I hope this is literal.

Kat
I'm fine thanks, Kat kiss
I'm afraid it's a metaphorical Shagged, not a literal one. Christmas for a single parent is no joke.
Hopefully we shall be putting that right soon, though.... just as soon as I get the all clear from the Doc. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Well guys, firstly thanks for the response so far.
It hasn't proved to be very constructive, but did give me an indication of interest level!
Anyone who contributes will get a complimentary copy. Sothat's that covered.
To 'shagged out.' I've been on the scene myself and my priorities have now changed to the extent that I am now in a monogamous relationship. This is a matter of choice for me and I'm very happy with it. Nuff said?
As to 'why?' I'm doing it. Well, since I've been around the scene myself I'm interested in it and I've noticed a rise in awareness of the scene out there as a whole.
Why shouldn't I make money out of it??!! I hardly think it's a fortune and a guy has to pay the mortgage, eat etc etc.
Once again, thanks for at least responding.
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!
Rick

Nothing wrong with that Rick - at least you are not claiming to be on a one man crusade to change the world!
Very best of luck with the book, I am sure you will not leave here completley empty handed.

I say again - is this "Book" commisioned, and if so, by which publisher?
As the "author" seems to have omitted to tell us this important detail, I rather suspect this venture is an act of fantasy rather than fact. Am I right?
If by some lucky fortune this book is real, I might get to review it (depending on the publisher, of course), if I do, I'll sneak you all a preview 8)
Oh BTW..... I'm doing some research (in my lunch hour) on the sexual habits of swingers.... would anyone care to fill in a questionnaire?
1. How many partners have you had in the last year?
2. How many partners would you like to have in the next year?
3. How many times do you cum per session?
4. How many times have you dressed up in frilly undies for sex (men only question)?
5. Are you bi?
6. Will you let me watch?
7. When are you coming round to my house for an, erm, personal interview?
8. Have you got a pic?
Ummmm, errrrr, got a bit carried away there, my professional reputation is now down the pan....back to the dole queue for me redface
For Blue.
No it's not comissioned. Happy? The tone of your response indicates to me that your ego is a little self inflated.
OK. Let's get a few things straight from my point of view.
If you don't want to submit anything towards my research, fine. However, please don't attempt to belittle me when you don't even know who I am. Live and let live?
My motivation for the project is quite simple.
I'm in it for the money as well as the interest factor, and if Blue knows anything about the book world then he/she will know that the money ain't that great!! It's hard work for a reasoneable return. Unless you're Andy McNab or the Rowling woman.
I've been on the scene myself and I'm interested in other people's perspectives.
I'm also trying to bring 'swinging' out of the area it seems to be in. Yes as unfair as that is, the truth remains that it's not a mainstream activity and it's participants are often regarded as sexually perverted. (am I wrong?) News of the world=Dogging. Nuff said?
Another important factor I noticed during my own days on the scene is that 'safe sex' isn't a common practice. That was a big area that surprised me.
Anyway now I'll get off the soap box. I'm going to leave this forum as it's proven useless for research purposes (there are other avenues)
Thanks and have a happy and peaceful (and sex filled!!) 2004.
Rick
There has just been a guest in the chatroom who was asking for information for 'research purposes'. He got short shrift I may add. I did offer to chat with him privately which he refused. He then became abusive and stormed off.
Such professionalism can only be admired, don't you think.
I was only going to ask if he needed a proofreader! rolleyes
Rick
You do seem to have rattled a few cages, chum. Including mine. What makes you think that if there's money to be earned from writing about swinging, we aren't capable of writing about it ourselves? Often flog freezers to eskimos, do you? rolleyes
You are right, though. This year has seen an explosion in interest in swinging... but if you're a writer of any experience you'll also realise that there has been an explosion in writers writing about swinging. So get to the back of the queue, mate. I hear the BBC's New Writing Initiative gets 9 dramas on the subject everyday.
And here's a tip from a commissioned writer. Write from the heart and not to 'market forces'.
Best of luck with it.
Hxx
Oh, so it's "research" now is it? Do you have ethical approval from any institution (such as a university) to conduct such sensitive research? I think not, but I hope you do. If you really are a researcher in this field you will know that there is some research on the topic already, what you propose to write is nothing new. I know there isn't much money in this sort of thing, but there are also things like ethical standards, academic integrity, and professional politeness to consider. If you consider that a self-inflated opinion, you have obviously never considered any of the above, and I suggest you either, a. go through the proper channels to conduct your research, b. go elsewhere to do your "research", or c. drop the idea totally and buy a PS2 to amuse yourself.
kiss :kiss: :kiss:
I love it when you get angry Blue, and all that lovely fluffy blue hair stands on end. Makes me feel all tingly inside :wave2:
I'll complete the questionnaire for you next week. :small-print:

Word to the wise Geronimo, however big you think Blue's ego is, in the real world, she has earned it twice over.
Kat
Well, this is taking the usual route to perdition.
I REALLY don't think yet another load of publicity is good for any part of this game.
While the book may enable you to pay the 'lecticity bill aone more time, it won't do any of us much good. Apart from the usual egotists.
What neither swinging nor dogging wants is another load of easy-sex-without-cash wasters descending on it again.
Geronimo = freeloader=troll=twat
i dont think anything else need be said about 'authors of swinging books'
hell, those that do, do it... those that need/want to read about it..... loosers

Remember though - newbies like myself who maybe hadn't found forums like this still need a route into it. If you were curious but didn't really know anything a quiet read would suit some people a little nervous of where to start - it does, like all things, take all sorts.
Whats important is that if a book is written is that it's honest and gives a genuine view of why people do it and the ground rules in the "community". It might help avoid some of the misconceptions some people have !
I'd hate to pick up a book to learn more but be thought of as a "looser".
Hope thats taken in the spirit of discussion that it's meant in,
Carpathian
i can see you point carp... but...
i think that a book on swinging will be seen as cheap wank fodder by 99% of those who read it. Genuine people who are interested will find a genuine way into the scene - i mean a 'real' not a virtual way...
I say cast out the 'authors'....
What a big joke.. trying to get free stories...
numbnut should have just clicked the link at the side of the screen like everyone else does lol
I stand corrected, OneWarmGuy - sorry, that was me just showing my ignorance.
It was well meant from me though so I hope people will excuse my lack of knowledge.
I think it's time to disappear into the background again for a while - thats two posts today where I've shown that I've not really got a handle on things !!
Carpathian
Carp - don't go - everyone's opinion matters and if yours differs from others it makes for a debate.
You are not meant to have/share or learn to love the opinions of others - EVER. This is part of the western world after all, and is meant to be a more liberated part of it too.
Don't let others with opinions opposite to yours send you off again.
I don't think a book will help to correct wrong impressions.
Reasonable people already know the basic rules of society, those don't seem to change much.
You don't need a book to tell you that groping someones crotch is bad behaviour, a smack in the mouth makes more impression than the written word.

Thanks Jags - I'm just having a massive hit of the winter-blues this afternoon - radiators playing up making for a cold house, feeling very single and dumn stuff like that - I just felt really silly at my two posts today both seemingly missing the mark.
I'll take your advice onboard and I'm sure normal service will be resumed....
Thanks
