I had to smile when I read on another thread that people swinging shouldn't expect a relationship. It could be argued that it depends on what you call a "relationship".
When I was involved, many many moons ago, there were couples who were good friends and kept their exchanges within a close group of say three or four, or even just two couples - they would perhaps hire a nice country house for a weeks holiday and things like that, doing normal things, sightseeing and such like in the daytime.
Does this still go on today, or am I just reminiscing about the good old days?
Plim
i dont know about the good ole days im fairly new but i can relate to what your saying plim
i tend to think about 'swinging' (in my single world) as having the freedom of having sex with more than just one person, but i like to develop friendships along the way, and meet the same people, be that males or couples, whilst the meets tend to be sex orientated there is a social element to them too, and ive had social meets with no sex at all,
ive also met some people ive never had sex with but who have become friends
no doubt there will be a description of swinging in the dictionary but i guess we will all have our own interpretation and do our own thing
with regards to nsa, this does tend to be the case for me but people need to be clear about what they want or expect
I guess you can also argue that as soon as you interact with someone,on any level, you have a "relationship". All that remains is to define the parameters of said relationship. I guess what people mean sometimes is not wanting to get emotionally involved, keeping it about the sex as it were....
just my two cents worth
Swinging is fucking, lots of people. Well more than your life partner. Sometimes you ....aaa...fuck and go. Sometimes you get to know the other person/people. Those rules are the same as any other, it is down to the people in the relationship. The rules change with each person/group.
Sometimes the whole thing is out in the open, but things bring what they are it is mostly hidden.
In other words; swinging is what you make it.
I think others have said that better already.
