Hi everyone, looking for advice!

My wife and I are looking to spice up our sex life and the ideas of swinging and 3 some’s turns me on a lot. We have discussed it but that’s about it.

I also like the idea of other men and women hitting in her. However, she does not seem too interested.

Any ideas or suggestion?

Try taking a mate home and all having drinks and see where it leads, if shes not interested in the lifestyle thats the end of it.

You said she's not interested. Try to find other ways to spice up your sex life that don't involve you getting other people to try and change your wife's mind. Does she know you're doing this?

Spice up your sex life between the two of you first, that may involve trying new things, dressing up, weekends away. Too many get into swinging and it doesn't end well. Unless you have a great sex life between the two of you leave it as a fantasy.

If she's not interested don't try and push her.

For me swinging takes a huge amount of trust and communication if you don't have it then don't start.

Does she know your here? Can you show her the site?

I'm in a similar situation.

I've approached the subject several times gently but she's never really engages the conversation.

I don't want to shock her as we've been married a very long time and I'd like to keep it that way.

So I'm adopting a casual 'mention in passing' while having sex approach.

This isn't a criticism of anyone, more an observation.

I think a lot of the issues with this kind of thing arise because many men feel afraid to talk openly to their partners about their desires and are not emotionally open either. For a lot of us women the feeling that your partner trusts you enough to talk to you about anything builds emotional intimacy and that is what leads to the confidence in a relationship that encourages sexual experimentation.

Trust me, turning outside a relationship to discuss issues within it or to recruit help to get a partner in board with something isn't going to help if you aren't communicating with your partner.

After reading quite a few threads like this and the current 'how to approach women in a bar' one I wonder if even now men see women as a separate species. We're not, talk to us

Lots of porn, all categories, toys, lightly engage in conversation while playing.

Yes or no should not be the question, what's your thoughts, would you like, how would you, did you enjoy, that sort of thing.

We were first intrigued by a friend explaining the club scene to us. He said that in a normal night club 99% of the time he would end up in an altercation but at swingers clubs everyone is much more relaxed and uninhibited. He sometimes goes just to meet and chat, no sex stuff and it's just a nice atmosphere. Perhaps you could see how she would feel about that? No pressure to have sex with anyone just go somewhere together where you can meet people and chat about it and just get a feel for what you both want, and if she doesn't like it you just leave/dont go again and accept that it's not for her?

If you push her AT ALL then it's never going to work, if she feels at all pressured to do something she's not comfortable with then she will never get comfortable. Let her dictate the pace, give her lots of options but most of all stop when she says stop.

I remember having a 'how did you get into swinging' conversation with a single lady on another site. A boyfriend had browbeaten her into going to Rio's where she reckons she shagged at least 6 guys.

Boyfriend fucked of with the hump and never spoke to her again

I'd err on the side of caution with this one mate. You've put the suggestion out there and so it's registered in her brain on some level. Every so often you could mention it again and see if her thoughts on swinging have opened up. You definitely can't press too hard on it otherwise if it does happen too fast, when she's not 100% bang up for it, that's literally the exact moment your relationship could slowly start take a downturn.

She may well have previously thought about it. It could be one of her deepest fantasies but she has never mentioned it out of fear of what you might think. Who knows. Maybe slowly starting watching that sort of porn together to 'normalise' it in her mind - but be careful of your intentions - because that's pretty much what grooming is!

My advice would be not to force it. Accept that we are the minority of the population and even though its the sexiest thing ever, for some people it's always never going to be completely ok.

There is only one way to do this and that is by talking. Discuss fantasies and suggest swinging. If however she is not interested then you have to accept it and give up. Pushing it will end badly for all concerned.

I think a big issue for a lot of women would be that you suggesting swinging might mean she is not good enough, or you don’t love her, don’t find her sexy etc. So be very careful how you raise it

Why not watch one of the recent programmes on TV together about people trying a threesum and see how she reacts? Or tell her you heard of friends who tried it and loved it?

If you’ve raised it repeatedly she might just not be interested. Why not try other things - take her away for a night, buy her some new lingerie? Ask her what you can do to please her or what she wants to try?

You can’t force someone into swinging. Good luck

100% agree with other posters on being honest. Both in what your “end goals” are and when you have the conversation. And it needs to be a conversation not just one partner telling the other what’s happening.

When I have played with partners in the past then I’ve always been honest. Along the lines of “I’ve been involved with this scene in the past; I’ve enjoyed it, no pressure but perhaps we could talk about and see how you felt”. Some liked the idea, some liked the idea but were too shy and some weren’t keen. All of which are fine.

Also be prepared and willing to compromise. What happens if she says yes but is only interested in MFM? (In my experience that’s not unusual, suited me, I like it) I think that scenario is a good one to self question your motivation before persuing things and to think am I doing this for “us” or me?

Good luck if you both make the choice to try things. If she’s not interested and you love her then move on from the fantasy and find other things.

Trust me - if she isn't interested it is highly unlikely she ever will be.

If you love her don't waste your time or potentially endanger your relationship trying to "encourage" her into doing things you both may regret.

Difficult getting someone to venture into the 'taboo' if the desire is not there, or is it ?. She may love the idea deep down yet be shackled by convention and fears. Firstly your relationship must be as solid as a rock so no fear of losing either to another. Talk about your relationship, how much you love each other and that no one can change that, both your fears, your fantasies. Discuss folk who swing and what it must be like for them, to touch and kiss others yet still have just each other afterwards. You can then approach via fantasy play and see how she reacts to it all in time. No pressure at all..

We started by visiting a naturist beach and daring the other and gradually built on that over 35 years ago, You have to have a happy relationship for it to work - we got into Cuck status gradually built of mrs being kissed, kissed naked and then full sex but it was years ago and stopped close to 40 and now getting back into it

I have a FWB and we tried a 3sum with a friend of mine.We discussed it before hand and exchanged face pictures so she and he knew what each other looked liked.We went for a evening meal just her and me then on to my friends house where we had a drink and chat before the fun started.All 3 of us enjoyed and we are looking to repeat again.We have also been to Rios a few times where some guys have asked if they can join us in the room but she said no the main reason she said no is because they made little or no effort before hand but if they had she may have said yes.

Show her your profile, I mean she does know about it and there’s good communication and trust between you both right ?

If not I fear you’ve probably screwed the pooch already on her entering into this and trusting each other and I really wouldn’t push or manipulate it further if I were you.

only you know your wife ?? how can strangers who dont know you or your wife or what state your relationship is helop ??

if your relationship is not open in how you talk to each other ie if you dont have a great sex life and if you dont in general talk about sex then forget it because to swing you need a solid loving open talking relationship swinging is fun not a repair or to save the marriage ..

and how will she feel once she learns your on here those that hide and lie away get found out so maybe tell her you joined this site first and see how she reacts

What do YOU want to get out of it.. seeing her with other men or women. Sharing her with others. Or is it an excuse for you to shag other women with her "permission". ? I discovered by talking that my partner had wanted to have sex with two guys at same time but didn't feel her previous boyfriends would have liked the idea. Either through jealousy or thinking it was because they weren't satisfying her. It did take talking over a long time for me to assure her I was different and wanted to held her maximise her sexusl pleasure that we did embark on setting up MMF threesome. However conversely she made it clear that she didn't want me to fuck other women! And that was fine by me because it was MMF threesome I wanted with her myself. Its a difficult topic to bring up with a partner and I only brought it up because part of our foreplay at the time involved porno mags and I noticed she seemed particularly turned on by girls with several guys. It took a lot of gentle coaxing to get her to admit to wanting to try it herself .

I'd recommend finding documentaries, films, podcasts, something to learn more about the realities of the scene and suggest watching/listening together. If she's not interested in these safe options, it's highly unlikely she's interested. Timing and how you bring a suggestion would be key. Be open to lots of talking, the whole journey is about learning more about one another's desires/interests, but also turn offs and why. These can change when people feel safer,become more curious... If your communication with one another isn't great, that'd need working on first.

Personally, I would suggest creating a space for open and honest communication and a sense of safety before embarking on any swing/open conversations. Work on communication between each other first. Have a look at non-violent communication style and loved languages. Lots of “I feel” “I” statements over “you” statements.

Try conversing side by side, say on a walk, so it feels less confrontational, and gives the person somewhere to look away when thinking. Conversations during sex can lead to avoiding sex as it’s not a place to have these discussions so might stop being a safe space for you both and end up with higher barriers to the conversation. Consider ensuring her non-physical and emotional needs are met before these discussions.

We use the R.A.D.A.R. Communication technique monthly and it is highly effective. We now do an abridged version after meets to help us improve. Google multiamory RADAR communication technique.

Great communication is a hard work but completely worth the effort.

If a husband/partner/bf has to talk his wife/partner/gf into doing swinging then it’s a bad move, same as inviting a mate over for drinks then hitting on her, most females would expect their husband/partner/bf to knock their mate out for trying it on, not sit there enjoying it

Sit down and talk,watch porn and talk have sex and talk,talk talk and more talk communication it the absolute key here.

I do agree that sometimes people are hiding their activity from partners however, sometimes not being able to accommodate can be because of other people in the house, we are set as cannot accommodate, mainly due to a teenage daughter but also down to two very excitable dogs. Please don't tar all with the same brush because of some sneaky ones (male & female).

My wife always knew I was into the idea of swinging decades ago when we first met.

Couple of years ago we had a serious talk about it and tried it and never looked back.

One of our best female friends knows about us and joins us in threesomes and foursomes.

We were a strong husband and wife unit before and this has made us even stronger. We are honest with each other and only do it when we are both involved.
