Has swinging made or broken your relationship??

Me & hubby have been together almost 10 years in total. We got together fairly young 17 & 19. We decided to try swinging to spice things up. We love the lifestyle but now we both want different things from it and struggling to find the right balance. I dont think we could ever go back to "normal" lifestyle. How do couples overcome these things?

Hi

Sex can be equated to food.

Just because one prefers a hot curry and the other a tuna salad it does not mean you both have to starve.

If the basic relationship is loving, sound and strong along with good communications then different tastes in sex should be able to be accommodated.

Playing separately works as long as clear rules are agreed. The important thing is that neither of you have any tendency to get jealous.

If things start going off track then stop and discuss.

Of course nothing is totally risk free as you have found. But then staying together if the sex spark has gone can also be a risk as that's how many affairs start.

Good luck

We have been together 33 years.

The last 10have involved others, it’s been a learning curve.

Got into swinging in the last year and even now still learning things.

We would say it’s made us stronger but it has had its highs and lows.

By talking.

In my experience, the only way you can swing successfully as a couple and both of you stay happy, is if you are 100% open with each other about what you do, what you want, how it makes you feel and what is going through your mind.

We've been together 37 years and the only way we've ever solved difficulties is by discussion and compromise. The compromise often means that neither one of us is 100% happy with the outcome but we both realise that it's to the benefit of our marriage so accept that it's the way forward.

I suggest if swinging is causing difficulties stop doing it for a while and concentrate on your relationship and finding out the best way to move forward that preserves it

It did both for mine although can’t blame it on the swinging really.

So started to swing about 9 years ago with my husband, we enjoyed it, had a break then carried on again. As my husband had less time and got busier at work, I started to meet people by my self as I wasn’t getting what I needed from my marriage. I met one man lots of times including overnights and fell in love with him. My marriage ended. I lost everything. Luckily my husband continues to be my best friend and we’re slowly building our relationship back up again.

You don't. The best thing to do is agree that any bad feelings that are thrown up aren't your partners fault but that you can discuss them without blame afterwards.

If you're very hesitant or reluctant don't do it.

I'd like to bring my long term partner into this with me, but we both have limited time. We both do our own separate stuff; I'd like to do it with him too. We've spoken about me joining him with his other partners, but it's almost impossible to get us all together, at the moment.

For it to work then we would say it’s all about two key things;

Communiction and honesty.

Without these you can be asking for trouble.

Make sure that you are ready and if you aren’t comfortable just say sorry can we stop this.

At the end of the day it’s your body, that you are sharing, whether it be the fem or the guy.

Like others have said communication is the key. Discuss your boundaries and wants before you play. You'll find they may change. If anything crops up discuss it immediately. If there's any cracks in your relationship playing will expose them. For it to work, in my opinion your relationship and trust must be strong. We love watching each other play. He's mine. I'm his. It's sex. To us it's sprinkles on our relationship. Not necessary but a nice added extra at times.

We would say we were a strong couple before we started swinging and that hasn't changed.

As others have said communication is key as is compromise these apply to life not just in swinging. We talk about our boundaries and regularly review them to ensure that we are both happy with them. One thing has not changed from day one and that is if one of us says they no longer wish to swing then we will both stop as our marriage is more important than a quick shag.

It broke my 12 year relationship with my boyfriend. I left him as I didn't want to swing with him anymore. I wanted to have this lifestyle by myself but also with someone else. That's gone tits up now and over with and it's broken me completely. I'm struggling every day and while I don't regret leaving my boyfriend, I do regret the reasons and the way I left him.

Swinging or being active on this site has not broken us, nor has it made our relationship better. That maybe due to the fact that it was great already and did not need "repairing"?

However, to all those setting out on their adventure we would say this...

Your feelings are just the same as we feel; that feeling of trepidation, the fear of stepping into the unknown? Of course we know we can walk away at anytime, but it is tempered with an exquisite and seductive sense of foreboding!

We have experienced the effect of the fact that there are so many timewasters on here, they annoy the hell out of us! However, the opportunity to meet genuine friends and to enjoy their company seriously overrides the disappointments we have endured along the way!

Then there are of course the “seasoned” swingers who just want to use you as another soft warm and wet hole to add as a notch on their ego or bedpost, but you can spot those and we steer well clear of them and their arrogance! We are not like that. Promise. However, we implore you to chat with your partner about your feelings. Never deny them. Be open and honest with yourself as well as each other. Whatever the decision is that you take, it should be made on a basis of honesty and understanding. Xx

Not sure it has done anything for our relationship other than made us very open and talkative about our sexual relationships.

Amazes me how many of my vanilla friends I speak to who can't talk about what they want sexually with their husbands and just don't seem to care about not being fulfilled.

I suppose as a couple it has give us lots of 'us' time away from the children which helps. Although 'us' time normally involves a mini bus load of guys as well.

So the title poses a different question to the OPs statement.

Swinging has neither made or broken anything in our relationship, our relationship was well established over many years, and swinging is just a sprinkling that dusts over the sex part of life.

If you had to put a percentage on it our sex life probably factors in about 10% of our life, (thinking, doing etc) . Swinging makes up maybe 20-30% of our sex life. Most of that is talking about it and acting it out in our own bedroom together. The actual act of swinging takes up even less time. We must have sex over 100 times a year as a conservative estimate swinging makes up 4 to 10 of those occasions.

So at that level swinging has very little to do with our relationship and how it works.

Read your responses with huge interest. Hubby and I have been together for 20 years and in this lifestyle for about three and it still causes big issues. We have discovered we both like very different things from it and it’s caused many many problems. He introduced me to this world and I was reluctant at first. Now I’m loving it and he’s not so sure. It’s a hard can of worms to seal back up once you start (in my opinion) x

Ok in the said thread I never said I don't have a partner, I said I am into swinging for multiple ladies and leisure, I also said, swinging with the aim of looking for a relationship or love is not for me, so please don't frame my narrative.

As I said when I am swinging, I am a single guy, just like a married lady can say she is a hotwife. So you will not find me walking around with my partner because we know and respect the rules.she is also a single girl in the swinging environment and it is see you at the end of the night.

Ive seen it do both. What tends to break a relationship is the lack of communication and honesty. You both have to talk about what you want, set boundaries and be comfortable with what you've agreed on. These boundaries will probably expand over time, but that's when you talk about it and sometimes something may not work for one of you and that's when the other has to accept that. It's all about communication, trust and honesty.

So many couples also agree to swing or certain things just to keep the other person happy, this isn't something where that can be done. It has to be a mutual decision, where both sides are equally happy with what they're doing.

I wouldn't have said it has done anything to my relationship yet as we did have a great threesome with a ex FB of hers a year ago although since officially looking at swinging, I and my OH have yet to meet anyone simply because couples and males are not of her interest to get her started again.

What it has done is really made me sit down and realise I'm not actually sexually satisfied in my relationship (the bedroom has been dead of all activity since after our first veri on our couples account), I'm happy with the rest of the relationship but I am pretty much leading a single man's life where my only relief is getting a site open and finishing in a sock (not literally a sock but I feel like a teen again).

I'm just lucky she's understanding and immediately allowed me to 'fill my needs elsewhere' (easier said than done than when I was teen, apparently) till her sex drive has recovered, 7 months ish and I'm still by her side so safe to say I'm not going anywhere no matter if I found that 'need filler'.

A more direct answer in regards to your question OP, communication is key, like I said, I and my OH had a great threesome experience with her old FB and I would certainly do it again, as long as both your interests are conveyed and you both find a way to make it work for both of you and stick to ground rules I think anyone can at least dip their toes in, it's the coming back as a couple if one gets 'cold feet' that might be the hard part.

Swinging used as a plaster, wrong motive and totally expected outcome.

If you are madly in love with each other, have already amazing sex, then that's the best basis on which to start. If you can take or leave this lifestyle, then that's even better. I worry about couples who look to meet every weekend and post adverts for meets everyday; who base their entire social life around swinging. I wonder how they actually carve out their own time to know each other. I'd also worry once one of the couple starts to meet alone and gets more out of it than the other. Separate room swapping wouldn't ever cross our mind because part of the beauty is watching the other have fun. That said, we predominately do FFMs and it's very hard to have separate room fun there if I'm honest.

The ideal ratio for us is probably 90:10 - 10 being the swinging lifestyle. Constant communication may change this as our desires change or become more fluid as we go on. At the end of the day, if you get off on watching your partner have sex with someone else, and you don't feel jealous during it, then that's pretty much the essence of trouble free swinging in my book. The minute you do it to get something you're not getting from your partner then that's a very slippery slope.

With respect, i totally disgree with your logic. Everyone makes certain compromises when choosing a life partner, the only people that don't understand this are the delusional romantics who usually have a string of divorces. If you can be honest enough to accept that, then you should realise that there's no inherent correct set of compromises to make (e.g. a husband or wife who is more intelligent / less physically attractive) although there are wrong compromises to make. In the grand scheme of things, we're all going to get older, less attractive and probably see a reduction in our sex drives. Therefore, i think picking a life partner based primary on sexual chemistry is a very slippery slope. Therefore, it's logical that if sex isn't a priority then there's nothing inherently bad about swinging supplementing the relationship in that way. I think it's far healthier than, for example, swinging being used to supplement the emotional need for affection.

Exactly, swinging cures a lot of things that ladies don't realize.

I am not a fan of having affairs or all the resultant problems that can occur because there are a lot of ladies out there who specialize in breaking relationships, so I tell my friends instead of cheating why not swing , you can have as many ladies as possible, as long as your mouthpiece is tight, these ladies don't want you beyond sex, no damage to your primary relationships and you. Nobody knows you or cares who you are , vanilla girls will always investigate to see how big your house is etc the swingers just go for you if they like you. This is by far safer for all involved .

I met one man lots of times including overnights and fell in love with him. My marriage ended. I lost everything. Luckily my husband continues to be my best friend and we’re slowly building our relationship back up again.

THAT'S SCARY

Swinging used as a plaster, wrong motive and totally expected outcome.

If you are madly in love with each other, have already amazing sex, then that's the best basis on which to start. If you can take or leave this lifestyle, then that's even better. I worry about couples who look to meet every weekend and post adverts for meets everyday; who base their entire social life around swinging. I wonder how they actually carve out their own time to know each other. I'd also worry once one of the couple starts to meet alone and gets more out of it than the other. Separate room swapping wouldn't ever cross our mind because part of the beauty is watching the other have fun. That said, we predominately do FFMs and it's very hard to have separate room fun there if I'm honest.

The ideal ratio for us is probably 90:10 - 10 being the swinging lifestyle. Constant communication may change this as our desires change or become more fluid as we go on. At the end of the day, if you get off on watching your partner have sex with someone else, and you don't feel jealous during it, then that's pretty much the essence of trouble free swinging in my book. The minute you do it to get something you're not getting from your partner then that's a very slippery slope.

With respect, i totally disgree with your logic. Everyone makes certain compromises when choosing a life partner, the only people that don't understand this are the delusional romantics who usually have a string of divorces. If you can be honest enough to accept that, then you should realise that there's no inherent correct set of compromises to make (e.g. a husband or wife who is more intelligent / less physically attractive) although there are wrong compromises to make. In the grand scheme of things, we're all going to get older, less attractive and probably see a reduction in our sex drives. Therefore, i think picking a life partner based primary on sexual chemistry is a very slippery slope. Therefore, it's logical that if sex isn't a priority then there's nothing inherently bad about swinging supplementing the relationship in that way. I think it's far healthier than, for example, swinging being used to supplement the emotional need for affection. "

Never said pick someone based primarily sexual chemistry. I said that choose swinging as long as both are completely and utterly watertight and you don't need to rely on it.

For me it needs keeping in context. It adds a bit of fun every now and again to the relationship. It’s certainly not what’s holding it together. Yes we did meet via Fab, but what has grown from there has happened because of our bond not swinging.

I see some couples relationships are founded on playing. To the point where most of their free time is meeting with others. Not something I’d choose and I wonder what happens if one wants or has to stop for any reason. I’ve heard first hand the reaction - one of resentment, which is totally disrespectful to the other partner.

It's another tick in the "neither" column from us.

Our relationship was already rock-solid when we started swinging, but I think we can both admit that swinging gave us something.... I'm not sure what you could call it, I read and agree with the posts who say it is like "sprinkles", not strictly necessary, but fun when added.

We have made some lifelong friends, and we enjoy that "buzz" that we get when going to a meet or party, and I think we would probably walk away if that wasn't the case.

We like the fact that we have a "secret life" away from everything else, its fun.

Spot on have found it has made us both more accepting of others. Increased our appetite for life generally and empowered Minx more.

But our relationship is just as strong perhaps revitalized but just the same loving one we started as.

Made. We started swinging a few weeks after we'd first met, we had both been married before but had found it impossible to be faithful, we love sexual variety too much! Both of us think fucking just one person isn't natural, so we started swinging as a couple.

It has worked out well for us, we married a couple of years later and kept on swinging, in fact did more after our marriage than before. We have been able to have as much extramarital sex as we need, without any guilt or deceit.

For many years we had been working through a sexual bucket list, sex in the sea,on a mountain,in a phone box, always fully nude and it was fun and exciting, well to us anyway.

Then we discussed swinging.

We think it's bolstered our marriage, it's another fun and naughty thing we do amongst the others.

Most of the couples we meet are as mad as a box of frogs, just like us!.

"Read your responses with huge interest. Hubby and I have been together for 20 years and in this lifestyle for about three and it still causes big issues. We have discovered we both like very different things from it and it’s caused many many problems. He introduced me to this world and I was reluctant at first. Now I’m loving it and he’s not so sure. It’s a hard can of worms to seal back up once you start (in my opinion) x"

This is my fear. We’ve had one ffm experience which was fun but left me with no urge to repeat but he thinks it was just newby nerves or maybe not the right lady. He’s very keen to push the boundaries further and although I find the idea tempting I worry about the aftermath. I know him well enough to know he will love it and will always hanker after this lifestyle and I can’t see me feeling the same. We will only know how we really feel if we try it but I think sometimes the fantasy may be better than the reality.

We do the swingers thing /having a 3rd person involved about once a month. I think it's important not to rely on just swinging in your relationship. We do see people swing every weekend and even during the week and seem happy so whatever works for you
