FabSwingers.com forum: Has Promiscuity Effected You?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this; do you think having a sexually adventurous life style has made it harder for you to be monogamous? (for those that desire that) or, changed how you've dated or approached your current / prospective relationships?

Or perhaps you've seen some other effects? Like confidence, understanding your value in the bedroom, the value of respect when it comes to sex.

Any and all thoughts are welcome.

It's massively improved my confidence and helped me to figure out what I'd want from a relationship.

Though when I first started, it massively knocked my confidence.

It’s massively improved my confidence and increased my knowledge and changed my attitude a lot in the bedroom

It has made me feel differently about monogamous relationships but I’d never judge anyone for that

I think so, I know both for me and my husband that this lifestyle as become part of our life. I carried on last year when he didn’t want to (with his blessing) and vice Versa.

Before swinging I wouldn’t have dreamt in a million years of doing this! I feel so liberated!

This lifestyle has taught me an awful lot about myself, and others.

I quickly realise after joining this site nearly 10 years ago that I could never be monogamous again.

Prior to that I had been married and faithful for 15 years.

I actually do not believe that human beings are designed to be monogamous, or indeed to pair for life.

Habving a sex life that is adventurous or at least non vanilla, does not need be promiscuous. I am most certainly not.

I have always been entirely faithful and monogamous, whilst still having a high sex drive. It was only when meeting my current partner that I began to explore other possibilities. I needn't cheat on him as he's likely to give me a hall pass if he thinks the guy is worthy, not that I would "cheat" anyway. I am faithful to our trust, bond and boundaries but I am not 'monogamous' but not promiscuous either.

Knowing that my partner adores me and has my pleasure and fulfilment as his priority gives me confidence, not how many guys I sleep with.

Sorry to clarify - I'm not equating sexually adventurous with promiscuity. They were two different thought I put it together badly.

So one thing being sexually adventurous in terms of kinks.

A separate one in terms of promiscuousity.

Also, I know there are negative connations with the word promiscuous, I consider myself promiscuous and I'm not saying it in a negative light. It's all personal choices.

Not atall. All this has just been an experience by choice. I guess it has no more effect on me than any other of life's experiences which shape who we are?

Sex isn't really a defining aspect of who we are ? But I can see how some peoples confidence maybe,but how sincere are others in contributing to it?

There's lots of monogamous animals, ranging from monkeys to wolves, birds to fish. Some are literally until death and others are pair-bonding exclusively for lengthy period of time (relevant to the animals life span).

Though whether it's natural for us is a big debate lol, I'd say in general it is.

How did you first step into it? Did you both venture into it within your marriage?

Having sexy adventures has made me feel much much closer to my wife. Simply being more open with someone sharing our inner thoughts with each other has been enlightening to our relationship. Watching how our relationship has changed (which was obvious) is just as exiting as it was many many years ago.

Promiscuity can be a positive thing, if you let it be. No? Or at least it is for us now, it might change. Who knows?

the right frame of mind -London

Op -While I can quite easily be emotionally monogamous I don't think I have ever been sexually monogamous -sure I've played that role but in truth that was more so as not to upset my partner at the time than it me being true to myself

Both of us have been promiscuous since we were 18 in the sense that we had many, transient sexual partners. We were monogamous within our relationship for many, many years. Neither has had a negative effect on us. Too much emphasis is placed on casual sex in my opinion.

Alot of people dont know the difference, which is why you hear people say " isnt swinging cheating?"

And why so many men think that women want threesomes and gangbangs because their partner cant satisfy them.

They just dont get it

I'm struggling at the moment to not think sexual thoughts about a man I gave my number to recently.

I met him at a cash machine and he texted me within half an hour.

He rings every day but we haven't been out yet.

I keep thinking of him naked and in bed and I'm wondering if he will want sex with me straight away.

I don't want to think of the sex part yet.

And I don't know if I can give up my regular partners if he wants a relationship.

Too many people think of it as wrong and people that have a lot of partners as bad. On here people read things in to casual sex that just aren't there. I wish people could acknowledge that friendly, pleasurable one off sexual encounters have no more significance than good meal out with friends to some people and that doesn't make them bad.

Personally having experienced this lifestyle on a modest level has given me a fantastic insight into muself as an individual. Having been married in a vertically celibate relationship for 10 years I needed to find myself sexually again, and Fab was brilliant for that, not just because of my sexual encounters with ladies on here but also because of what I've learned from thise I've met socially through Fab.

For me I now know that being monogamous again ( as I had been for 15 years previously ) with the right woman would be my best fit personally. If a woman who I bond with in many important aspects (including sexual chemistry and appetite ) doesn't come into my life then I wouldn't dream of settling for monogamy ....I'd sooner be single the rest of my life and enjoy occasional play with interesting women I respected a clicked with.

Lastly if I were to find a lady in the vanilla world that I wanted to have a life relationships with again I would only be with someone who was definite they wanted to be monogamous....I know that swinging within a relationship is not for me personally, but that's just my choice and it's not to say I don't respect the choices of married couples on here who's relationships are thriving through swinging.

Ha, typo ' vertically celibate ' was also horizontally celibate. Should have read 'virtually celibate marriage'

If anything it's made me more commited to my relationship. As I have the option to play away I have found in just not interested. Q unos

I love my bf and he loves me, over time the playing got less and less for both of us.

I'm now at a point where I will probably hand my fab boots up and just enjoy having the greatest thing that ever happened to me... Him

I wouldn’t call it promiscuity... I don’t actively go out looking for people to play with.

It’s more of just how I life my life kinda thing.

I do have a relationship. We are very open with each other, both on here, we actually met at Jaydees.

I don’t meet anybody outside of clubs, we do both go to clubs, both together and separately, more for the social side of things. If we play then we play, but I certainly don’t actively look to play. Has to be a spark to excite me these days lol

Good. I don't think many people subscribe to it though

. I see so much justification, explanation and judgement.

I've found that monogomy and polygamy are the same thing, it's still one wife to many.
