"Question for the couples. How do you stop jealousy creeping into the fold with swinging? Question for the singles who haven't been part of a couple in this lifestyle, could you be here as part of a couple?" I haven't been so am a terrible first reply but I guess it's love trust and understanding and a mutual interest in hot sex with others. I think you absolutely could but what I do wonder is it then all couples that participate in that lifestyle can entirely separate sex from romance or 'connection' - because I can but find many others when it comes down to it, actually can't. | |||

I've never been in this situation with a partner but I think I'd possibly struggle to separate the emotions involved with sex with a partner | |||

Stability within your relationship, security in life, a shared history together that trumps everything the future may bring. The fully embraced idea that you are moving through life’s journey side by side. There are all manner of ways to say it… and talking. Lots and lots of talking. | |||

"Jealousy and envy will always have a place, it's presence is not so much healthy but it's not unhealthy, and it is natural. Those feelings are fine to have in moderation and when controlled, it is when they escelate, take over and seep in to actions and consequences of those actions. I'm at a place currently that I'd not be able to couple and do this. Not that I swing exactly but, share a partner in such ways. Eventually I'd hope to be able to be back there." Is jealousy the word though? I don’t think so. To me it’s the norm. Watching someone you love fucking someone else isn’t the norm to me. I know it happens and I know this is predominantly what this site is about and it’s all good but it’s never something I will get my head around personally. | |||

I reckon jealousy may creep in if my partner was enjoying herself more with VWEBully3000 " Ah but is it enjoying more or enjoying in a different way? Maybe she is enjoying that dude, but she still very much prefers what you bring. Sometimes, as is said on here often, the fantasy is just that - a quick fuck with some VWE dude every now and again, not as a favoured thing but as a treat, a fantasy, just something different. In those cases surely the jealousy an envy is on the other dudes side, this amazing woman only wants to get with him now and again while the rest of the time she much prefers you. Obviously it's much more complex than that, breaking it down and viewing it as basic and black and white as I put it is disrespectful to the couple and the other guy, but as an exaggerated example it gets the point out well. | |||

"interesting how sex can be a fun but ultimately meaningless activity, no connection, no romance, just a bit of spark is all that’s required. And yet, those same thoughts don’t apply if the person having this unconnected meaningless sex is suddenly your partner. If you can both do it when you’re single, why can’t it be done when you’re together?Genuinely curious. " Because some people are truly monogamous and cannot move past the idea of sharing their body with someone else when fully committed. It's two separate beasts. | |||

"I'm happily poly. Sometimes I get a little bit of that fear of missing out type of jealousy when they're doing something fun with someone else that I'd like to be involved in, but mostly I'm just happy to know they're happy and fulfilled when I'm not around " I think the fear of missing out jealous is the kind of Jealous that works. Compared to the needy, possessive kind - saying that, in the right context even that hint of possessiveness can be hot. Definitely not bunny boiler levels - maybe possessiveness is not the right word as its much less about the word and much more about the vibe and the feel. Note! I said in the right context, and NOT that I support the implication of being owned, or as a possession or anything related to that. I know what you lot are like, jump on the slightest wording mistake and run with it! | |||

There's certain circumstances where that little spike of 'but I can do that' and the almost spiteful joy in proving how well you can do so is exhilarating. I also like the way that sometimes certain marks from one encourages the other to make sure they leave their own too. I also love that they'll try not to ruin the other's 'artwork.' Not about possession or owning, but just a little competitive streak kicking in. Never to be outright better than the other though, just proving not to be lesser. I don't think I've worded that even remotely right. But fuck it. | |||

"I think it's inevitable your relationship will be tested by opening it up to include others, wherever you draw your boundaries as a couple. The question is whether you are able to communicate openly and honestly, and accept that sometimes you'll get things wrong along the way. Trying to keep emotions out of things is a fruitless exercise, I find - that goes for the whole of life - but working through those emotions together is critical for a swinging couple. So often people focus on the potential pitfalls of being in a swinging couple. There are some many joys.

Everyone has there own ways of combating the green eyed monster in the past I've been part of dynamics where outside play was to do things we couldn't with each other. And other times I have been in a situation where we all share what and who we are doing In the long run only you and your partners can decide what works best for for you COMMUNICATION is key | |||

I couldn’t do it. Others can and that’s great for them. Doesn’t mean it’s judging. It’s a different view. I couldn’t care less what people think about what I do or don’t do. Nobody should. Just do you. | |||

Fuck it right in the ass with a strapon When I first discovered the forums I was wildly excited at discussing this side of me freely and with others who got it. I overshared everywhere! Over time I started to pull back and went through a period of being much more guarded, having realised fab wasn't the liberal utopia I fondly imagined Now I'm into my not giving a fuck phase. I'm fully aware there are many people on here who don't do fab like we do. But we're happy, we're not hurting anyone, and it still is a joy to be able to share and discuss with others who are on your wavelength. Something for everyone Mrs TMN x | |||

"I work on the basis that I own nobody, nor they me. Neither of us are chattels. We do not "cage" each other. Consensual non-monogamy (CNM), and subset ethical non-monogamy (ENM). Openness and 100% transparency. I come home to our bed because it's where I chose to be, and with whom I chose to be with. It would be arrogant for me to believe I give her everything and likewise in return. We know and understand our limitations. We know how to overcome those."

" Absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about and this is what it's about being able to communicate and get past those feelings. Jealousy is a normal human emotion it's how you handle it that counts. Mrs See, I think this sounds like an unnecessary source of potential conflict in a relationship. Rather than work to get past it, why not just decide to stop swinging " The poster I was responding to described it as a hiccup and said things were now even better than before. All relationships have bumps in the road - if swinging is something you both want to do, chucking it out the window at the first hurdle seems a bit drastic? Mrs TMN x | |||

"Question for the couples. How do you stop jealousy creeping into the fold with swinging? Question for the singles who haven't been part of a couple in this lifestyle, could you be here as part of a couple? I haven't been so am a terrible first reply but I guess it's love trust and understanding and a mutual interest in hot sex with others. I think you absolutely could but what I do wonder is it then all couples that participate in that lifestyle can entirely separate sex from romance or 'connection' - because I can but find many others when it comes down to it, actually can't." Why do you think that sex and connection has to be separate if indulging in sex beyond a couple's relationship? We don't claim to be swingers and positively look for connection. Our love for each other isn't possessive or controlling, it's free. | |||

"I don't think it's a case of stopping jealousy per se. I thinks it's more a case first both being in a mindset that jealousy is a manageable factor and second having the openness and communicate to express yourself freely and your desires to be respected and understood. After all the purest and closes intimacy with your partner is completely openness and honesty. People have different levels of jealousy. But communication, openness and teamwork is the cornerstone of a good swinging relationship. If you have them you will find what works for you as a couple (whatever your swinging format) and manage your feelings and act appropriately in line with the feelings of your partner. Also another couple of points: It's worth distinguishing between jealousy that comes for a place of insecurity or feeling of risk and jealousy that comes more from potion of missing out or unfairness. To distinguish between jealousy and envy. Things are different with different people you encounter. Jealousy (or a different degree of jealousy) may exist with some people you befriend and not others. What may have been OK with one person/s in one time and space may not be OK with another or at another time. This is where communication is key and being able to adapt. " This is very nicely put | |||

"…. Question for the singles who haven't been part of a couple in this lifestyle, could you be here as part of a couple?" Yes. No. Probably. Maybe. I dunno, it would depend on the other person as much as me. And also what I thought about that other person, and what I wanted with them, if that makes sense. Eg. I didn’t want to get married and go monogamous until I met my ex wife, so it’s hard to say what I want. | |||

" Good point, if you were both on the same page though it would be fine, but if one of you got jealous it would either be the end of swinging, or the end of the relationship. Can't see how people can square that circle for someone else. | |||

" Yeah our rule is we all share or nobody shares." Our one exception to that is for couples that aren't bi, or only have one that is bi, we totally respect straight boundaries and wouldn't expect to swap. But I think that's a given for everyone, some bi couples don't meet straight or mixed at all, but we do. | |||

"I find that foursomes can be excellent in this regard because it stops there being one person just sitting there doing nothing." It could be 2 on 1, with 4th on camera duty | |||

I don’t think it’s bad if one steps back or has a camera role, so that the 3 that like each other can still play. | |||

"If you've got a solid relationship and worship the ground eachother walk on, then you've got no/very little issues. Personally, we find it quite liberating and struggle with the whole monogamous shait that we've all become accustomed to... Do I enjoy watching her get railed by another guy? Hell yeah, and we enjoy the aftermath for days on end!! Why, because I know that no one will contend with me. No, that's absolutely not me being a bighead, it's just that she has some weird obsession with me and thinks the sun shines out of my arse and the exact same can be said in return. Solid foundation = healthy swinging " Love this | |||

"Question for the couples. How do you stop jealousy creeping into the fold with swinging? Question for the singles who haven't been part of a couple in this lifestyle, could you be here as part of a couple?" The simple answer is you can’t, but you can do things to stop it ruining the fun. This can be to put effective boundaries in place that work for you. When we started Kitty didn’t enjoy Frankie being overly engrossed with a women, so I’m theeesomes they made sure they always paid attention to Kitty or Kitty made sure to occupy herself with another act with the person Frankie was fucking. | |||

"Weve done mfm and it's never been a problem. We have clear boundaries and rules, always play together and talk before, during and after any meets. Im a bit more unsure when it comes to adding a female or couple into the mix. The idea of it is a real turn on but I struggle more with the idea of it. We've talked about it and hubby is understanding and not one bit pushy on that side. He just says if it happens it happens x" If you struggle with the idea of him playing with another woman, then maybe start with just same room non-swap, maybe a bit of girl on girl, oral only swap and just see how you feel. As long as the other couple understand you are pushing your own boundaries they should be happy to help. PM us if you like, we are interested. | |||

" It's this for me. I fully expected to be more jealous and instead I find it so very hot. It's good to talk about these things on here, but weirdly given previous replies I feel slightly judged for being able to share. Not what you'd expect on this site. J No judgement from me, you kinky bitch! Thank you There's a definite undercurrent of if you really love someone then how could you possibly share them? J" That’s a very monogamous and blinkered attitude. Sadly it’s not one that I’m surprised to find on here. The sheer volume of ‘one penis policy’ couples that I see on here just screams insecurity to me | |||
