Any tips for a swinging newbie

Hi - I am new to swinging, but my partner is very experienced. I’m looking forward to this journey with him, but wondered if any of you had any tips? We will be going to socials now that things are getting back to normal, but any tips on first experiences and seeing your partner for the first time with another person would be great. I’m not a jealous person but I’ve not experienced this before... would be great to hear how that first experience was for you.., thanks, Ash x

I'm not experienced as a couple, but I'm sure that being honest about your feelings and worries might help. Xx

Thank you x

Our communication is good, and I am talking about any concerns I have. He is being supportive x

I'm glad. I'm thinking, you could also talk about what you can and can not do with other people. Where your limits are.

Yes, we’ve done that too... think it helps that he’s not a newbie. I just want to enjoy the experience and have fun, but am concerned it may feel weird seeing him with someone else.

Having previously feared I’d be jealous of seeing Roger with anyone else it turned out that it was a complete non-issue.

Communication is so important. As is understanding, in our opinion, that just because your other half is experiencing something with someone else it doesn’t necessarily mean they think it’s better, it’s just different.

Remove any notion of being in competition and it makes things so much more fun.

You don't have to do all things at once. You may start with someone just watching you or you watching others. When you are more confident, you may want to try more

be honest with your oh, if you arent happy in a situation tell him so, dont do it for him, only do what you are happy with, if you are happy then relax and enjoy, but the main thing is dont do it for someone else, do it because you want to, best of luck

It does feel nervy... we’ve spoken about it loads, but hopefully it will turn out really well. I have been doing loads of research and am definitely looking forward to my first experience... just wish those nerves would disappear x

We had many discussions before we even went to a club and have never looked back! We only ever play if we are both happy to. The first time we swapped it was exhilarating and a huge turn on, no jealousy as it’s fun sex and that’s it, relax and enjoy

Yes, we’re definitely meeting other couples for drinks beforehand. I do think it’ll be fine... just covering every angle. We have a great relationship, so hoping this added extra will enhance what we already have x

Not funny at all... my partner who has experienced swinging in a previous relationship, says exactly the same. Could you elaborate on how it’s brought you closer together? Thank you x

you need to be a very together loving trusting couple to swing as a couple ...do it for extra fun and not because something is missing or needs repairing and talk talk and talk no one know you like each other ...talk set your ground rules and preference and stick to them..... also if one says no then you both say no no matter what and who.

me and hubs have done this for 28 years now but have seen so many split because they do it for the wrong reasons ...its got to be about having fun and for both of you

All good advice here. If you’re unsure work up to it so that you’re excited about the next step not having doubts. If the lifestyle is right for you then you’ll know and vice versa. Good luck.

There are no hard and fast rules. Being a "swinger" doesn't mean you have to act a certain way or do certain things. We are all individuals and we do things for our own reasons. With this in mind my first question to yourself would have to be why are you doing it and what do you hope to and or think you will gain from it?

Hi, thanks for your response and questions. I want to try swinging because I think it will be fun, I enjoy sex and the thought of doing this with my partner is exciting... something we can enjoy together. I hope to gain sexual liberation and a deeper connection with my partner. I love my freedom, and I believe with the support of my partner, being free to swing will enhance our relationship x

We aren’t massively experienced (only ever had two MFM) but our advice is take it slow. Don’t rush or be pressured by anyone (even ur partner as there maybe one of you who is more excited/interested in this lifestyle than the other) always respect each other and anyone invited in to your relationship. Enjoy it!!! Apprehension and nerves is enjoyable for us.
