Hello everyone!

So, I recently did what I never thought I would - I told a very good friend of mine that Marc and I swing.

She is pretty conservative sexually, and she was telling us about these awful sexual experiences she has had, and it somehow just seemed right to tell her about how much fun sex can be. And she actually reacted much better than I thought she would.

Anyway, I was wondering, for those of you who are open about this, why do you feel like you can be? And for those of you who aren't (like us), do you think you would ever tell someone you know from your everyday life?

Thanks for all of your insight!

-Courtney

I don't purposely not tell people, i just don't talk about my sex life in general, but I would have done the exact same as you because for me it would be an appropriate time to mention it. A lot of things depend on situations.

a few really close friends know about my lifestyle choice, and also some family members. some found it interesting to know others were shocked but are cool about it. It comes down to if you trust and want to talk about it. the ones who know also know that I met my partner in the scene but friends and colleagues who don't know about my personal life I just said we met at a club, for me it comes down to who I feel comfortable talking to about it.

Trust,yes. I told 3 friends, one said nothing he was just blank, the other told me her stories and the 3rd is getting so much mileage out of taking the piss out of me

Yes, trust does play a big part in it. I completely trust my friend to keep what I tell her in confidence private. But I did think she was going to have an issue with it, when it turned out she completely didn't. Or at least didn't seem too. And that really surprised me.

But yes, I agree with what you sat about trust

We don't tell anyone

Tbh the only one's who we worry about finding out is our kid's.

We have very few friends.

Our parents are quite old sisters scattered far and wide around the British Isles.

The closest people to us are our kid's.

I honestly don't know what they would say and I really don't want to find out.

I am a very private person, both in terms of being on here and in my every day life.

The only people who know I am on here are me, and the people I have met.

Sometimes I wish I could be more open about a lot of things, but for some reason I have this big fear of being judged, or worse, misjudged!

My close friends know but then I met them on here so doesn't make a difference. I date in the vanilla world and would never share with them if I got serious with someone I'm at the stage now where I would just delete my profile and not even introduce it to them. The less people know about my private life the better.

So you wouldn't consider continuing to swing as a couple, then?

I think you have done completely the right thing by your friend, she was, as you said, having issues and you have now opened her eyes to a whole new world.

She will be grateful for your honesty and keep your confidence.

To be honest it wouldn't bother me if anybody found out I was on here, a few people know already, people I wouldn't trust I wouldn't tell but them finding out themselves wouldn't bother, I think once you've told your mother you are bisexual telling other people pretty much anything is easy,

As for the female half,who is pretty shy, it would devastate her if some people she knows knew she was on here.

As for the op your friend reacted in a way good friends should.

I'm single and my friends know I have an active sex life but I'm sure the swinging thing has never been mentioned.

I don't imagine we would tell anyone about what we do, we don't tend to talk about our sex life in personal terms with anyone outside of swinging anyway. Our circle of friends are quite closed when it comes to sex and I'm already considered quite risque and shocking

I can be open with family and friends because they aren't closed-minded and judgmental and aren't looking for something to turn their noses up at. I wouldn't discuss my sex life with some in laws,purely because they would gossip and make things uncomfortable for my children. Although my children would defend my actions to the death I wouldn't want them to have to.

We are very secretive about this, a couple of reasons, 1 we have a 17 and a 15 year old and would be mortified if they found out what we get up to

Secondly if the lads at rugby club found out, they would try taking the Mickey telling me I'm not man enough to satisfy her, and they wouldn't understand and think it is fair game to try and chat up whenever they bump I'm to her, and that she is some sort of easy target or a slut who Will shag any of them

What happens when you want to introduce Mr Right to your close friends and he asks how you met?

I don't really swing any more but everyone in my life knows apart from my parents. I don't have anything to hide and there's such a big crossover of friends now it doesn't make any sense to me to lie. Apart from the fact I have such a bad memory, I'd never remember who I said what to so I'm painfully honest.

My ex knows not by me.

I had booked a room at a well known hotel and the lady in question promptly phoned my ex hubby of the same name and confirmed the room with him. Of course he asked why a room had been booked in his name and she said "to visit a swinging club"

He canceled and phoned me and I went ballistic.

To this day I still don't know why my details were given away in that manner.

Then questions questions and more questions.

When I wouldn't open up he left me alone!!

I too learned a lesson after confiding in a 'best friend'.

I dont think anyone truly understands the concept of swinging unless they are involved themselves. Ive heard several conversations in work that have discussed their idea of what swinging is and its very far off the mark. My issue is,,,, once bitten by the bug its very hard to revert.

I enjoy the open conversation that i have with people ive met on here. To go back to discussing how much fish is in Tesco this week, or how my friends husband wants her to gve him a bj and she is so disgusted... would drive me insane,

so, i continue, I tell no one and I make friends of those who think the way I think .

Swinging "

Yeah I can understand that. I just wouldn't want to have that secret. I've been messing round with this for ten years, it's a big part of my life and I'd hate to have that fear when I was out with friends that someone would get d*unk and say something they weren't supposed to. Then it's not so much a secret from your past, it's a massive lie.

I think if you meet the right person it won't matter what your past consists of, it's made you who you are today. I wouldn't base a long term, future relationship on a fib.

"My close friends know but then I met them on here so doesn't make a difference. I date in the vanilla world and would never share with them if I got serious with someone I'm at the stage now where I would just delete my profile and not even introduce it to them. The less people know about my private life the better.

What happens when you want to introduce Mr Right to your close friends and he asks how you met?

Then I hope that they would be discrete enough to not tell him we met via seinginh but if you was serious enough about someone where you where planning on being together long-term would you not tell them about your past?

It's a big chunk of your life youd have to keep secret, in couldn't imagine being with someone where I had to keep secrets right from the start"

Just the same as everyone has a past involving all manner of things. Does everyone know every little thing about your past? I don't think a lot of men would want to know about their new partners past sex life. I wouldn't care about my partners (when I have one). All that's important is how two people get on with each other and focus on their own future together. The past Is irrelevant.

May have been said but my view is there are 3 people types

Like minded - those that partake

Tolerant - those that don't but don't concern themselves with the actions of others

Pigeon holers - those that don't, don't understand why others would and mostly need to pick and mock to find personal peace with it

Like-minded and tolerant I will discuss anything with, the latter group I avoid talking about anything with, I'am not here to educate although maybe share

Problem will be everyone is treated as a pigeon holer until confirmed otherwise

"Keeping your own past private business to yourself isn't fibbing. It's no one's business but your own. "

Of course it's your own business. I've not said different.

What I did say was when your swinging life crosses over into your vanilla life (for want of a better expression) is that when you introduce those people to your new partner and you have to lie about how you know them, that's the lie I'm not comfortable with.

Your past is your own business. It's entirely up to you who you tell or don't tell. I can only speak for myself and I would choose not to lie about how I met my friends. I'm unlikely to point out who I've had sex with but I wouldn't keep this side of my life a secret.

I do. And I will always keep all this secret. A massive fuck off lie that I'm as innocent as the driven snow. And I won't lose any sleep about it either.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that at all. I just choose not to. I don't feel the need to. No-one would ever believe that I'm as innocent as driven snow if they met me.

I just don't want to be with someone that I feel I have to lie to because they wouldn't accept me because of my past. That tells me that they're not the right person for me.

I asked Cheekychops the question just to see if she'd thought about it that way. It's entirely up to each individual how they live their life. If I felt the urge to keep a secret then I'd tell as many lies as it took. I just don't feel the need for myself.

Yup... we're all different. I just know me well enough to know that I don't want to hide bits of myself or my friends from someone I'm supposed to be in an equal, loving partnership with.

I don't expect someone to love my past, I expect them to love me despite my past.

If they were likely to have issue with that then chances are I'd not be fucking him in the first place cause he wouldn't be my sort of person if that makes sense.

My Own Little World

My husband has told his best friend of about 40 years what we do, he is fine with it, just asked a few questions and that has been it.

I won't be telling any of my friends, they are the biggest bunch of gossips I know!

And basically my sex life is no-ones business.

that's good if it works for you, I just think for me its part of who I am and if I couldn't talk openly and honestly about my sex life in wouldnt be compatable with that person.

For me that's completly different from issues in my life, after nine years jays still finding stuff out.

But I could never get into a vanilla relationship and switch part of me off anyway so I will never know if I could keep part of my life a secret, id find it uncomfortable never being 100% myself around someone I loved in a relationship

I have a lot of ex swinging friends that I talk to but I might say I am going to a club or going to a meet and leave it at that

I haven't told anyone at work, God knows what they would say. I remember a conversation where my old manager was saying being gay is not correct.....

I have changed my view on personal disclosure. I have realised that my tendency to disclose too much personal information has been naive, so I am now of a mind to disclose little to anyone.

But I guess I wouldn't think someone is wrong for me because he didn't understand swinging it's a lot to take on board for some.

Yup... we're all different. I just know me well enough to know that I don't want to hide bits of myself or my friends from someone I'm supposed to be in an equal, loving partnership with.

I don't expect someone to love my past, I expect them to love me despite my past.

If they were likely to have issue with that then chances are I'd not be fucking him in the first place cause he wouldn't be my sort of person if that makes sense.

I do understand all that. Not saying either of you are wrong. I know it's me that's wrong. x

Well then I must be wrong with you because I wouldn't tell a partner I met away from fab all about my time on fab if my friends choose to accept that and still be my friend then great if they don't then well that's their choice and I wouldn't hate them for it I just choose to keep a lot of my past in the past as some of it has taken me years to get over and not going to keep dragging in up if that makes me wrong then so be it I can live with that.

Sorry MCC my comment wasn't aimed at you or anyone else, it was actually aimed at me. And I agree with what you said here.

"Hello everyone!

So, I recently did what I never thought I would - I told a very good friend of mine that Marc and I swing.

She is pretty conservative sexually, and she was telling us about these awful sexual experiences she has had, and it somehow just seemed right to tell her about how much fun sex can be. And she actually reacted much better than I thought she would.

Anyway, I was wondering, for those of you who are open about this, why do you feel like you can be? And for those of you who aren't (like us), do you think you would ever tell someone you know from your everyday life?

Thanks for all of your insight!

Since I split from my husband I've changed a lot, and everyone knows I swing, some are vocal about it that I'm not being safe etc, some just say be careful and listens to my latest tales!

The ex knows everything and says he won't encourage it but gets off on it for sure, and he is the only one I tell where I'm going etc (most of the time anyway!)

I tell a very few trusted friends, most of whom have been as bad as me in the past. Makes me gorny to do so.

No I wouldn't tell anybody, I keep my sex life private, And anyone I do meet I would just say I met her in a club in town

Most of my friends know, and a few work colleagues that I'm close with. They've all been interested and curious, no one has been judgemental and will occasionally ask me questions.

Don't think my sister would be the same though, we don't really talk about our sex lives

I'm a private person. I would no sooner discuss my sex life than I would my bowel movements, bank details etc. "Private" for me is just that.

My best mate at work knows and thinks its great.

Her response was "Wow brilliant, I bet that's really liberating..."

I also told my sister who I always though was open minded... bad idea and will never bring the topic up again. She was horrified.

On the whole this is something personal to us. Doubt that many in the vanilla world will be told.

I've never felt the need to discuss any other aspect of my sex life with anyone else, so I don't imagine ever telling friends or family about fab or swinging either.

Additionally we live in a small town, and there are a few couples we know that also swing, I've seen them gossiped about and wouldn't want to be in that position as they don't really come out of it well, they also don't know about us as their discretion leaves a lot to be desired
