"To be honest know she doesn't. I ended up here because of sex but I want my marriage to be fixed. Mega conundrum/ confusion / head fuck. Need a head doctor I think. " Then talk to her about your issues, go to a relationship counsellor. Don't come on a swingers site as a single man and ask for advice on your marriage. It's disrespectful as fuck IMO. | |||

"Please enjoy having a go at me. If only life Was so fucking simple hey. We all wander off down dark alleys, some never make it out, I'm still in the shadow of the Main Street working out what to do. I was hoping for some advice from couples who understood. " OP you're always going to put yourself in the line of fire coming on what is essentially a sex site as a single guy but asking for advice about your wife.... that just kinda goes with the territory. However you have received advice from a number of females here saying if they felt how you say your wife does, then you being on here is certainly not going to fix things as you say you want to. What did your wife respond with when you suggested going to swingers clubs? They can be daunting enough for first timers but especially if she's having self conscious thoughts I imagine it didn't go down well? | |||

I was hoping for some advice from couples who understood. " Swinging is not the way to mend a marriage. It can sometimes help build the confidence of someone who has worries about their body but even then the relationship between the partners needs to be strong. Be awre there will be many knockbacks during swinging and in some cases humiliation and because of this the relationship between the couple needs to be strong. We would echo what others have said work on your relationship with your wife first before even thinking about swinging as swinging could destroy what you have at present | |||

This if you have problems in your relationship...get them sorted then come back as a couple if that is what she wants. All you are doing here is driving a wedge between yourselves. How would her confidence be if she came across your profile...as a single guy on a swinging site? Maybe you do need a head doctor? You will not find one here! | |||

"To be blunt, Confidence isn't built on the compliments of strangers (some of which could just be saying it for the sole purpose of getting into her knickers) all that promotes is a false sense of confidence or in some an undeserving who complex, so in my opinion swinging is the worst idea for someone lacking in self confidence. No-one can work on her confidence issue but her and it will likely be a long process, the sheer fact you want to enjoy the swinging scene and being with others could be the biggest dent to her confidence, as she no longer feels first and foremost in your life. Also remember swinging isn't for everyone, monogamy really is more important to some people." *ego complex | |||

Reading the OP's posts and his profile, it's not difficult to see that his focus is on getting what he wants rather than improving his marriage. | |||

"So given the thread yesterday where are all those brave heros who said they'd defend newbies from the sharks?" ..tbh....I can't really see anyone "attacking". The op got a lot of aadvice, maybe not exactly the kind he was looking for. People can be judgemental, unfortunately that's part of the public forums, whether you're a newbie or a seasoned forumite. But really can't see him getting a particularly hardtime. | |||

"So everyone thats giving you an answer that you don't like aren't good people?

Take her to a couples' home on the pretence they're just having a drink and all strip off? Go to a club where people with terrible bodies frequent,hoping it makes her feel better about hers? Force her to go to a club and be naked with strangers in the hope she will suddenly gain a shit load of confidence so they can walk about naked? His concern is supposedly about her body confidence,being in the company of other naked women isn't necessarily going to make her feel better about her own both. It could make her feel worse. | |||

I was hoping for some advice from couples who understood. You are in the right place for advice from people who are in the swinging scene. " You are in the right place for advice from people who are in the swinging scene. For me, she could well have body issues and stripping off in front of people probably isn't her ideal choice...BUT her reluctance could also be she doesn't actually want to swing. Have a long conversation and ask her to be totally honest of which one it is, then go from there. If she does fancy it but is wary then maybe play on cam in chat to see if she likes that and wants to take it further. If she says she doesn't want to swing, accept her wishes. Good luck | |||

"So everyone thats giving you an answer that you don't like aren't good people? " That is a lot of twisting there. He is bound to want to listen to the people who actually answered the question rather than the ones who told him he shouldn't be asking it in the first place. | |||

"I suggested swinging clubs to my wife, she is self conscious of her body, and I haven't helped wanted to show her that she's beautiful and perfectly normal by way of seeing others not to play but just to socialise and talk to others about sexual exploration. Need some nice couples to help her and me. Wondered if there are quiet couple only events that are good for what we need " Shaz used to have very little confidence and was extreamly self conscious, since we joined the scene 15 years ago though she's now very happy and confident and happy to walk about a club nude all night So I do think this scene can help. I would suggest though making a new account with both of you on it, forget about meeting people for now and start real doing light stuff like maybe just chatrooms, go on cam and so on, and let the confidence build slowly. If she likes cam fun then after a while maybe try a little soft play. Nobody should be pushed into the scene, if she really done like it after trying a bit of cam fun then you should really respect her wishes and bring the idea to an end. | |||

"If I had body issues, and you took me to a club where there are all different sizes and shapes to be honest, I'd only be comparing myself to the thin attractive ones and then id be even more pissed off that you had took me there, and were comparing me to the other women. And the fact it's a swingers club. You would shatter her confidence possibly your marriage. Take her out for a meal, shopping, cinema, treat her to news clothes tell her you love her and she looks amazing, that your proud of her.. Really you need to get off here and concentrate on your relationship. " Absolutely 100% this without a doubt. Going to a swingers club requires a tremendous amount of confidence and courage particularly if one has body image issues. I plead with you OP, do not go down this route to build her confidence it is very unlikely to work. | |||

"How about you make a little box and fill it with scraps of paper, on each one something different about why you love her, what you find sexy about her, how much you appreciate her. If you are to blame for knocking her confidence down then do things to help build it back up. I'd probably suggest bringing swinging into things once you start to see more of the old her back. Good luck! X" Like this idea, lots of possibilities xx ta | |||

" I think your miss guided if you think swinging of any kind is a way to "fix" your marriage, you would do better to close your account and spend your energies on the problems your having, being distracted by strangers and what you think they might offer you is very naive and selfish, in my view. | |||
