is that whatever we do.. it always carries a degree of planning. It has to! But that takes the spontaneity away and therefore is less exciting than say a cahnce meeting in the vanilla world. A real dilemma at times?

I totally get that from a man's perspective. But there is also the thought that it is kind of predictable? We know why we are meeting the other person, we know we may have sex with them ... whereas meeting outside the scene we do not thus leaving more scope for possible outcomes?

interesting, but if you want to meet with the option for alternative outcomes then maybe this is not the right site?

Going somewhere and meeting people outside of the scene and finding something sexy develops is a far more exciting thought, but is that likely to happen?

Tricky to find the right balance I suppose

Absolutely, you are spot on with that. I am just sometimes musing whether it is what I want sometime. Not the social side, that is always great.... I mean the meeting for sex.

That's partly why some folks find dogging as exciting as we do.

You just never know what, if anything, is going to happen.

Sometimes you meet for a social and get a little carried away. Sometimes someone you haven't seen for a while is available and agrees to meet. Even with planning there can be some spontaneity.

I like the logic of arranging a meet but not with the expectation of sex. like arranging a meet simply to eat chocolate, then anything else that happens is a bonus!

It is for me too but maybe the spontaneity you seek might be in taking your mind away from it and just coming across the purely physical.

For one to one meets I like to get to know the other person and have some sort of connection so by its nature it won't necessarily be spontaneous but will be planned. You can make what you do spontaneous and unexpected though.

One of the reasons I enjoy clubs so much is that they will always be random or spontaneous connections on the night.

This is one of the reason why I'm on a break.

When you realise the time and effort taken to actually get a meet is inversely proportional to the pleasure you get out of it, is no longer a fun pastime.

The joy of the chase....

There is something inherently exciting about fancying, approaching, engaging, and being impulsive with a new sexual partner when sex isn't a 'given' right up to the moment of penetration. It's an excitement that can definitely become sanitised by the 'sex to order' some online liasons are based on.

I guess it comes down to how much you let Fab take over. As much as I have enjoyed Fab it has never become my main route to finding new sexual partners, I am too impulsive, and I suppose I just enjoy chatting women up too much to miss out on that part of my overall sex life.

You already know you're gonna have sex once you agree to meet though, I'm not suggesting this is a bad thing but it can dampen the moment if the sex is always preplaned or guaranteed, even if the meeting has an element of spontaneity.

I'm not keen on the arranging part, my OH does it anyway, I know if I like guys by the type of messages they send, my OH tends to do a lot of the chatting etc. Ill chat on the night rather than constant messaging on here and I never get involved in texting. This way it doesn't feel as if I'm over familiar with them so meeting and chatting on the night feels more exciting for me.

I'm a club type person anyway and those nights aren't really planned way in advance because of the OHs business, so a lot of our swinging is actually fairly spontameous

Haven't experienced that problem. The spontaneity is in the 30 mins or so to see if anyone is up for it, and then how long it takes them to arrive.

We tend to avoid meets that involve a pre-meet social/interview to avoid that stale, planned aspect - we use clubs instead with no guarantee or expectations.

As I have got older, I have struggled more and more with the concept of planned sex.

Even sex in bed with a regular partner started to bore me. I would much sooner have a cuddle on the sofa or a cheeky bum pinch in the kitchen turn into a steamy session than waiting til bedtime.

To that degree, I guess I will always have something of a 'problem' vis-a-vis swinging and why most of the meets here have been with men and have tended to be last minute, because I don't have to pre-think them and be ready at a certain time or in a certain place or expected to do certain things with that person.

The last minute nature of it is what largely excites me and the fact that I don't know them or wish to see them again once the door shut behind them.

Obviously. that is not the chosen path for many and I can fully understand why people would think that was both unsafe and unfulfilling.

Club / saunas are kind of the mid ground because there is expectancy and planning (and often hope ) to be considered when attending.

They do however come with that element of the 'unknown' of who lies beyond them doors and whether any attraction you may have towards them is reciprocated. So to that degree, they still offer the 'thrill' of meeting without over-thinking.

I wouldn't say by any means that I was a 'swinger' because of those reasons and for me it is more about finding what I like and what I want out of the situation than adopting it as a lifestyle.

That sounds awfully selfish, but if we are honest whilst we give something back as a sexual partner, it is often (although not always) our desire to take that spurs us on.

That is a very good point - and maybe my insisting on an initial social is actually preventing me from having that spontaneity. Will think about this a bit more.
