Is it normal to swing?

Lets be honest here who thinks its normal to swing? I mean to go about shagging other peoples partners who they love and who love them forever willy nilly I try as I might I dont understand it I think its weird and peverse.
Er, dunno about normal. It's fun though!
It is normal round here smile
It's not normal in the real world, but it's not unusual either.
So yes and no :P
I have answered yes in the poll, but if you had asked me 2-3yrs ago I would have said no, but swinging has spiced up our relationship so much and added a new twinkle to our eyes...
Don't get me wrong no one in the vanilla world knows what we do!!!! It is our little secret biggrin
Which we love indulging in with certain people on this site :D :D
I have no idea who is in a position to answer that definitively. From my perspective it is normal. Just like my being queer/bi/lesbian. As with all the labels I use I accept that others may not feel the same and I choose whom I speak to about it. Their understanding of normal is different because everyone is unique.
My measure is whether I am hurting anyone and the answer is no, so yes. It is normal
Why do people keep asking what's normal? dunno it's such a grey area to even begin to describe. What's normal to me may be bizarre to another.
As for swinging, don't know about it being 'normal' but it's kind of 'forbidden', 'horny', 'naughty', 'sexy' and very very enjoyable..... maybe that is normal? :haha:

Your comment above does raise a question in my mind about you and why your here, but I will leave the airing of the actual question to others who have been around on Swinging Heaven longer than me. smile
I think in a way Lost's question is a bit 'tongue in cheek', 'cos he abs loves it, doncha Lost? wink
If it was normal, wouldn't it be dull? dunno
absolutely outside the norm in society in general,which is why the media love a juicy titillates the masses or offends the holier than thou ones.
in our little community here it`s normal to the point of being the reason most of us are here.

Four or five years ago I would be calling 'swingers' freaks!!!
But now I'm amongst some new mates n close fiends blink I mean friends!
But then anything thats not mainstream in public morality can be considered as abnormal.

to you ?
NO! cool
What is normal?
This a part of our lives now that we enjoy so I put yes!
If you had asked me about a year ago my answer would have been no!
Just shows what a year in the life of SH can do for you! lol
So all you people that read the forums and haven't come through the door. You don't know what you are missing until you try it! wink
Mind you that is just my opinion! :lol:

Ian your right though i am sorry honest i am

thats what i thought, to me swinging is normal, i know i couldnt be in a relationship where by i wasnt still swinging to some extent. its who i am , not just what i do.
but normal to the general census then no, cuse if it was i would be even more open about it.
i do tend to be open, but when i am some vanila people think im joking lol
i have met people over the years that have been doing swinging for a while, then stopped, thats fine. i dont constantly swing day and night lol but when im not doing the deed(eddited as i typed dead first ) as such, i still consider myself to be a swinger.
i find a lot of singles swing till they meet another single swinger , then they stop cuse they say they have found their love lol im not sure i understand that on all levels. but i still dont judge.
sometimes i feel like people drift in here ( not just the site but swinging in general) and drift back out.
some have said maybe i should stop this and settle down lol if i did that i would be denying who i am.
im not slating anyone whos married and playing away, but i couldnt do that. so if needs must i will stay single but stay true to myself and remain happy.
so is it normal to me yes, to general society nope.
sorry long winded reply
xx fem xx
:shock: Fem, you been inside my head again? :shock:
:shock: no , lol do you want to get inside mine??? :twisted: opps that was the deep throating thread wasnt it lol
xxx fem xx
Is normal normal? Is it not normal to be different in some way?
If people are general not normal, that is like others, then we being abnormal must therefore be normal.
Therefore swinging must be normal, and anyone who thinks they are normal, ie. like everyone else must be abnormal.
Is that clearer now?
If it works for you why 'fix' it? I agree it's not normal in most peoples eyes...but in my mind it's a million times better than sleeping around, cheating on people and keeping stum (?) It's good to share.. wink
