Hey, so me and my husband have this profile together. He’s a good talker, me not so much. But I’m curious as other peoples thoughts. As much as it’s probably fun I’m really not out for the whole one night fuck, see you later thing. Other half is quite a confident horny person but I don’t feel I could proper let go unless I actually trust that person/people. So I really want to get to know people first before anything even happens and to make friends they enjoy things from there. Do other people feel like that?

I find that talking and getting to know someone first makes the sex so much better.

If you think about it, even in clubs or dogging there is plenty of chat and banter first..

The cold wham, bam thank you mam's suits some, but the anonimity is a bit like a macdonalds .. satisfies your cravings for a few minutes and then you're hungry again..

I musch prefer a sunday roast.. lol

The brain is the biggest sex organ. If you don’t have a connection and instead base a meet solely on physical attraction then while you may have fun, it may be less satisfying overall.

Wanting a connection isn’t that uncommon to ensure you have some compatibility.

I have to have some connection with the person I share my bed with, I've done the club thing and found it to be a little impersonal although fun.

For me, it isn't just about sticking my cock in a woman I dont know. I firmly believe that with knowledge and understanding of what a person wants make for greater sex

I need to know and like someone on a very superficial level. Personally I couldn't get to know someone very well after a couple of social meets and I'm not here to form deep relationships. Any friendship we develop would need to be sexual in some way from fairly early on or not sexual at all.

Perhaps it’s less about being a good talker as finding the person who talks on your level. The right fit, so to speak.

When we first joined the scene both myself and the Mrs would tend to jump in. Lots of fun but at the end it all felt rather unsatisfying and not quite it. With a bit more experience now we're found fucking people who"ve become friends and we can also chill with so much better for us.

Dictate your own pace OP and do not worry about your “reputation”. Everyone is different in this regard and you should only ever go through the different stages of this lifestyle when you, as an individual are comfortable.

I am sure you have an excellent partner who has told you this, yet you may be pressuring yourself to please. Please don’t do that, if you need to build trust and be comfortable, then take that time, fab isn’t going anywhere, you have all the time in the world, enjoy all of the other parts of this lifestyle and settle on a way forward that suits you both.

When socials and meet and greets are back you will find it much easier to make connections.

We were very slow to get started. Maybe 6 months. We found one really good connection and she told us that socials help. We met her at one, had our first threesome and we were away.

At that first social we met others we would play with later. And friends we still talk to 5 years later.

5 years? Nice! I have this (stupid?) ideal of being able to "settle down" with a few single and couple friends and hang out, and sometimes just not bother fucking because we watched TV instead... Whether that level of friendship born of swingers is actually feasible or healthy I don't know, but the comfort of being able to be totally you, rather than putting on a front, is very appealing.

We don't fuck strangers.

We prefer to build friendships with people before playing.

Sex is 100x better with people you trust, are comfortable with and can have a laugh with.

Swinging is whatever you want it to be...you'll always find someone who's compatible

I think you need a certain distance as a couple (unless you're polyamorous) but maybe not as a single person. That said I also think you need to be able to separate the physical from the emotional whatever your relationship status.

Absolutely! Could never meet without really getting to know them first. How do you know what they like, or they know what you like?

Yeah, quick sex is fun but I'd imagine it's far less satisfying than getting together with someone you can't wait to meet after months of messaging. I can't compare as I've never done the stranger sex thing. It's just not for me x

When we were in our early 20s we both enjoyed a lot of sex for its own sake. Casual sex, one might stands, call it what you will. We enjoyed the other persons company for a brief interval, usually shared a drink and a laugh before and a coffee and a laugh afterwards. Two people, enjoying each other, no disrespect, no judgement just a lot of fun.

We're older now of course and I certainly take a bit longer to get revved up and enjoy getting to know people a bit before we get sexual but I look back on those days with fondness.

Just not feeling the nerves or anxiety. Being able to talk about every day life, including shitty things, rather than just having to talk about the scene and TV shows. Am I about to tell this couple or that guy that I cried last week from my cat being put to sleep... probably not, but I'm still thinking about it a fair bit inside.

Obviously everyone works differently, and maybe other people already do find their average meets go like this when they can have them.

As nice couple said in their reply to you a certain distance needs to be maintained for couples outside of polyamorous relationships. We might develop into a polyamorous couple but we are not there yet.

The friends closest to us are not play friends now. That part of the relationship is closed. It might open again in the future but in general it can't be open.

In your hypothetical you go over to jack and Mary's house for a few drinks and to watch antique roadshow. If it's drinks, roadshow and sex you bring one sort of energy. if it's drinks, roadshow and a balti that's a different energy. And it's hard to switch from one to another. What if you arrive over horny and Mary (or jack) is ready to fo but the other is annoyed because they thought this was just tv.

But having a group of friends who you might hang out with at socials and have sex with is very possible.

I know there is zero chance / desire for polyamory in our world, so it does feel like a strange fit despite the ideals floating in my head.

I'm interested to know how people define "knowing" someone. I think I might be seeing this from the perspective of a 40 year relationship. We're never going to know someone as well as we know each other so a basic mutual understanding and a shared sense of humour developed over a couple of socials is enough for us.

Interesting. Personally speaking I would like to get to know them at least on a 'friend' level before even thinking about sex. I guess I've always wanted one person who I can share the journey with. I'm beginning to see I'm not a swinger at all. Started off thinking I could and now that's gone out of the window. Yeah, I've enjoyed clubs, yeah I've loved going to socials but when it comes to sharing my body, I want someone beside me who knows me and who I trust.

Some are so maybe I'm not after all.

Ahhh sod it, I'm not gonna label myself because I don't conform to a certain way of doing things.

"I'm interested to know how people define "knowing" someone. I think I might be seeing this from the perspective of a 40 year relationship. We're never going to know someone as well as we know each other so a basic mutual understanding and a shared sense of humour developed over a couple of socials is enough for us.

Interesting. Personally speaking I would like to get to know them at least on a 'friend' level before even thinking about sex. I guess I've always wanted one person who I can share the journey with. I'm beginning to see I'm not a swinger at all. Started off thinking I could and now that's gone out of the window. Yeah, I've enjoyed clubs, yeah I've loved going to socials but when it comes to sharing my body, I want someone beside me who knows me and who I trust.

Oh god, it is dating "

I think it's down to individuals to make it clear what they're looking for. I don't think any of us has the right to tell other people how they should be "swinging" (whatever that is) and I don't think any way of doing it is better than another.

No, but in an orgy situation there's limited opportunity to sound out people for their views on quantitive easing and monetary policy.

If someone is being overtly boorish or tedious then we'd pass, cos it's ugly, but it's mainly about superficial attraction for us.

That's just one scenario though.

You can meet a couple and get to know them and enjoy great sex because you get on well. That's also swinging.

It doesn't mean you date them.

Everyone will have differing ideas and that's what makes the world go round. We bring different things to this place.

And that's good, that's your preference! Exactly the point I was making.

What works for you might not for others but it doesn't mean they want to date as such.

Are you saying swingers don’t do that??? I’m afraid I’ll need to reappraise my entire notion of what swinging is.

"Actually enjoy chatting, exchanging likes and dislikes, getting to know the person before actually meeting.

Covid has been a blessing in that respect, no alternative!! lol

Struggling to believe most of the responses lol

We love having a natter and a drink with everyone and anyone at a club. If we happen to have a mutual superficial level of attraction we may have a play.

If there's an orgy going on we may not have spoken to anyone specifically and will just dive in.

It's swinging. Not dating. "

This is why I thought I’d try the clubs as my introduction into this lifestyle but at the end of the day, I’m a single man. I hardly qualify as a swinger.

We care who we fuck, we just want to fuck and not chat! I dont want to know about people's jobs, homelife, opinions....swinging for us is about the taboo not the everyday! As long as we're confident the people we're meeting are on the same page as us and can have a laugh, we'd rather keep it superficial and just get naked in a pile!

There is no right way.

If you like to know someone well enough that you know the birthday of their pet frog... there are people who can do that with you.

If you want your meet to be stripping off clothes before the door opens... there are people who can do that for you too.

Let no one rush you or tell you that your way isn't right.

Exactly. I think you can make yourself vulnerable on the internet in general but where sex is concerned in particular and people will sometimes take advantage of that.

All my experiences from fab have been absolutely brilliant due to getting to know the person I'm going to fuck.

I need some sort of connection with them, never been a fuck and go woman and never will be.

If the men in question don't like it, then I'm sure there will be plenty of other women on here who would suit them better x

While I don't want a romantic friendship I do like to know or at least have the illusion that they're in to me. That's one reason I'm not keen on meeting very young men.

What an interesting thread.

We've had both situations. People that we've met at a club and played straight away and people we've met where a friendship developed and we saw again and again.

For us the latter was more fulfilling. Because we knew each other, we felt more comfortable in their company. There wasn't the awkward can I touch moment as we trusted them and they trusted us.

We would in many cases be more comfortable if our vanilla friends enjoyed the lifestyle as relationships and boundaries are already established.

As much as it’s probably fun I’m really not out for the whole one night fuck, see you later thing. Other half is quite a confident horny person but I don’t feel I could proper let go unless I actually trust that person/people. So I really want to get to know people first before anything even happens and to make friends they enjoy things from there. Do other people feel like that? "

Lots of interesting views on here so far!

For me personally, the key components of a great experience are: a hot situation, chemistry with those involved, self confidence. This doesn't mean that friendship with playmates is a prerequisite, not does it preclude it, I just think they're not dependent on each other.

If you want friends with benefits, crack on! Likewise if you just want playmates and don't need to be friends, enjoy yourselves.

If we all rolled the same way, it would be a boring world!

Meant to add, I'd rather find people we love to fuck and then work out if we get on as friends than make friends and find out we don't like fucking them.

That seems like a really odd binary to propose. I'd feel pretty queasy if we had a meet at a club and then found they were raving Nazis or something. I mean, it's always possible to find these things out, but fucking a blank canvas... yick.

Think that's a fairly unlikely scenario. Far as we know almost everyone in clubs is 'normal'. Liberal. Probably more so than in the real world.

I guess it depends whether you want an emotional, intellectual or physical connection with playmates. You know what people want you to know, so how well do we really know anyone?

Personally i find it really odd to meet people clothed, in a social context, talking about life stuff then turn it round to sex and getting naked. A quick drink and a chat before play is one thing but I would much rather jump into a club pile than go out for dinner which may or may not end in fucking! But then i just like being filthy!

I am not looking to date or have a relationship. However I definitely want to get to know someone before I fuck them. Drinks, chat, flirting before jumping into bed is the ideal. Empty one off encounters are not for me.

I would like to hope that I build up enough of a connection that we both want to meet up with each other again, as and when it suits both.

However experience so far suggests that many give a good impression of wanting that but then disappear after the first encounter never to be heard from again!

I think for us it really varies. We generally just swing in the club scene. For us a club visit is far more than the sex. We love to have a good drink, socialise and a laugh. If we play it's generally with people we've had a good laugh with and a couple of drinks with prior. Then let things flow naturally into a room if the connection is right. But sometimes we've played with total strangers who we invited into our fun or they've invited us into theirs and it's just worked. In our experience if it works, it works. No hard set protocol or rules. It just depends on atmosphere, mood and chemistry (which on rare occasions is just instantly there).

Hubby here, Thanks for all the replies to vicks post, (It's her first one ).

Some really good comments and opinions and think vicki is just surprised by how many people feel the same way lol.

Just for a bit of context we have been to a club, and played with a couple on the very first visit to one so it is something we have tried and we had fun, so certainly no judgement from us, love whatever floats your boat,

but when we have met up with people we have got to know a lot better the experiences have just been a lot more exciting.

It is very hard to get to know people you don't know already, especially via text, and no we don't need to know the ins and outs of your auntie before we would have sex with you haha

Just need to know if we're on the same wavelength.

Especially as the social side is a big part of what adds to the fun, for us anyway.
