"Can anyone help me with some tips on how to get my wife to loosen up and have some fun, she is a really good candidate but is a bit prim and finds it hard to relax sexually. "

Have you tried talking her? Have you explained that you perceive that she finds it hard to relax sexually and would like to understand why? Can you comfortably, sensitively and honestly express to her how you feel and what you would like to experience with her sexually? Is there a possibility that she has an inkling that you’re seeking thrills elsewhere and this is causing her to lack confidence or faith in the strength of her marriage? If you do want more with her and you love and respect her, I’d suggest caring, honest communication would be a more helpful starter for ten than asking strangers on a swing site forum.

Do something nice to make her relax like a nice romantic dinner , a couple glasses of wine may help them just talk openly without judging her. Make sure you listen, really, really listen, you might need to adjust your ears if this is new to you

Maybe it's your approach that's wrong for her:

1.Sarcasm

2.Little digs about her (maybe) lack of confidence.

3.You might be piling on the pressure!

Whatever it is, allow her to go her own pace. Or else it could be perceived as mental bullying!

Good luck OP!

There are books about this, so a forum is limited. There are still a lot of people around who were brought up thinking sex and desire were dirty. They can also see expression of desire outside the vanilla as disloyal and immoral. You may see your partner as a desireable sexual being, but her background or your approach may block her 'hearing' you. Its all about joint communication. The only way you have access to help her (if we even accept she needs 'helping') is by creating an environment where she might feel comfortable discussing with you. Non-judgemental, no agenda, and 'no drugs' openness, perhaps beginning with what you enjoy, what you like and those difficult subjects about you that show you are willing to explore without fear, then - as said earlier - get your listening ears on

I'm not trying to be judgemental so please don't take it that way but does your wife want to swing? Just because it's what you do and what you want her to do, doesn't mean she does?

If she wants to do it and you know that for a fact without any shred of doubt and you are trying to help her with her shyness so she can do something she wants then it's different of course and there's lost of helpful advice already been suggested.

Does she know you are on here OP?

I think it’s time to respect her wishes then. Treat her with kindness and respect and focus on your relationship together and look at other ways that include and accommodate her wishes and desires. Sex drives for both men and women change. Peoples’ own confidence and self value change over time. Respect and be kind to her as well as yourself.

She's a grown adult. Maybe she just isn't interested? If you've let her know you're comfortable with her being in this lifestyle then there isn't much else you can do. If she is ever ready to jump in and talk about it more she will if you are open with your communication.

I've read quite a few posts like this and the response very much depends on how the op is expressed and the perceived intent.

I think that if the couple work together on their emotional communication then sexual communication will follow. It seems to me though that often women want the emotional communication in order to sexually communicate and men want it the other way round. A common theme also seems to be that the woman in these circumstances refuses to talk. I don't know the answer but wonder if sitting down and explaining how important this is to you, asking how you can help her to talk more openly and how she can help you discover what her emotional and sexual needs are would help.

That alone is a huge pressure for her. Living up to how spicy things were with your ex. If she isn't interested in swinging then you need to respect that unless getting your end away with other people is more important to you than she is. Either way, communication is necessary to actually establish where you're at and what's expected of you and what you expect of her.

Maybe she just isn’t interested in having sexual encounters with other people. It’s not something I’d be interested in either if I was in a relationship, no amount of opening up or discussions or encouragement would make me want to sleep with anyone other than my partner.

Another thing to consider op is that she might have the impression that you feel she isn't enough for you. It's possible she's not articulating this for loads of possible reasons including that she doesn't consciously realise she feels that way. An ex who fully engaged with swinging a profile showing you enjoying sex with another woman, you telling her that you want more than she is currently giving will all have an effect on her.

Personally I think you probably need to start from the basics with this lady.
