Hi All~
Well, it's been an arduous wait for me this past 168 hours to finally be able to post in the forum, but here I am. And how appropriate that I should gain access on February 22nd, the 34th anniversary of 1) losing my virginity to a girl and 2) my first MMF threesome.
Those of you who were active on the swing scene in the mid-2000s may know me as the male half of Vix & Reese. We started out on Swinging Heaven in 2004 but, as things became fractious toward the turn of 2007, we started our own SwingFans site for which Vix was admin.
Three or four years later we fell away from the scene due to Vix' ill health (she suffered from Multiple Sclerosis). While we strove to keep in touch with many of the dear friends we'd made through our swinging years, we stopped attending socials and arranging meets and such. Sure, Vix carried on pulling the odd, young vanilla from time to time, whenever one struck her fancy and she felt up to it, but these became fewer and farther between.
On Christmas Eve of 2014, Vix passed away both suddenly and unexpectedly. Those of you who are our friends on Facebook know that the past two months of my timeline reads as a memorial to her, our life and love together. On January 30th, the day before what would have been Vix' & my 10th wedding anniversary, we held a memorial service here and, apart from the locals and a handful of relatives, the church was literally full of swingers who had traveled from all over the country, some of whom we hadn't seen in years but gathered together again that day out of their shared love for Vix...and it was beautiful.
Anyway, so here I am on my own, now. After some soul-searching and deliberation, I've decided to ease my way back into the scene. I chose FabSwingers because we have some dear long-term friends here, some of whom were at Vix' memorial service (thank you).
My reasons for joining were two-fold: First and foremost, many of our closest and most beloved friends were met through swinging and, without their love and support, I don't know if I could've made it through these past two months. Secondly, though, I'm a very tactile person who craves human touch (don't we all?), but cannot even begin to imagine ever engaging in another 1-on-1 relationship again. And, besides, it would be unfair on the other since I'd always be measuring them up against the incomparable perfection that was Vix.
So, that's me in a nutshell; just here looking to reconnect with some old friends and make some new (and, hopefully, more local, too). The best thing about swing mates is that, not only can you form extraordinarily close and enduring friendships, you can also feel more comfortable about touching them "inappropriately" should the need arise.
Hugs,
~Reese x
