FabSwingers.com forum: Not sure I am cut out to be a swinger

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

I have had lots of meets on here...my verifications show only some - but I have gone off the idea of casual sex with guys I probably will either not see again or only chat to occasionally. If I have great sex with someone it will be because I have liked him, enjoyed his company and will therefore want to meet him at least on a monthly basis.

I'm definitely not looking for anything serious at all. But I do find that I get more enjoyment out of the kink side and social side now.

Does anyone feel the same as I do?

I understand where you're coming from. A few years ago I was meeting quite a few different men for very casual sex, but I ended up feeling empty and used.

I find it much more satisfying to have a "friends with benefits" relationship with a select few. I then can enjoy the friendship/social side, but with the added bonus of great sex with someone you've leaned to trust and there is a lot of mutual respect.

I haven't had a fun meet on here for a long time with a newbie, all my meets have been with people who I have met several times socially first and often repeated with the same people.

I love the openness of the lifestyle, but for me I prefer playing with someone who knows me and I feel at ease with, which for me (and I know we aren't all the same) comes with regular meets.... the only thing I differ from you is I would happily settle for something more and less casual if the situation arose.

Totally agree with you both! I did have a friend with benefits who was on my early verifications but he wanted a serious relationship after a few years so it wasn't for me. I hope to meet someone similar again I can meet monthly with. It makes it all the more exciting and intense if you get to know someone over a period of time x

meeting someone new is fun but meeting that person regularly on a friends with benefits basis is better, In my experience the friendship and the sex gets better and takes you in all sorts of directions....

I stopped seeking new meets as I had become jaded and empty after each encounter. I then stuck with four regular playmates who I've been seeing for over eight years. I'm still in contact with them.

I agree but is that not almost bound to be the case when you have a liking for D/s games? Takes a few meets to learn what really works then it's fun pushing boundaries on subsequent sessions

We've only played with a few couples and those we have we've mainly met a few times. We think to meet a few times, once a month for example is a good thing.

Monthly.meets are perfect for me with someone. I just feel that fuck and go sex is definitely now not for me. But I do accept that what suits one person won't suit another. We all have different needs and circumstances.

To go into the kink scene with someone though you need to build up a great rapport first and ensure both want the same.. Trust takes time.

I agree with the ladies comments on here...feeling relaxed with somebody is foremost for me and that you can be yourself and yes fwb on a regular basis is the way forward......unless anything develops. Better for the sanity!!! Lol

I too much prefer to meet friends regularly but unfortunately I seem to pick the wrong ones lately. I do like the excitement of a new meet and if the sex is amazing, then it's a lovely feeling to see them again. My problem at the moment is trust and being disrespected. On the whole though, I'm having fun.

Totally agree with the reasoning on this thread. I was an escort for 18 months and lost my moral compass before giving it all up. Much prefer Social side to swinging and making long term friends and lovers

If it works for you it's all good

Also in agreement with what has been said. The cum and go approach doesn't do it for me and I would love to meet a regular fwb, for the more social side of things plus being able to work on developing my inner sub and visiting clubs etc. Unfortunately I seem to have attracted the people who are able to talk the talk and then turn out to do the complete opposite

Reading all these comments is great as it means that I'm not the only one looking for that sort of arrangement! Now to find it......

i feel the same. find that men want regular sex but not as regular as i'd like, and they turn from something like 'freinds' to me becoming a service to them when they want sex (pisses me right off and i stop talking to them). i need consistency or i lose interest.

i'm running socials in my area now because there wasn't anything much social around here. they're going alright, they tend to have more men at them than women but the men are chatting and getting on also so i class them as somewhat successful.

i also started dating on POF coz it's slightly better being dated for sex than being presumed a service provider.

Not sure what I am.up to. I split two months ago with a bi guy I was seeing for over a year...very Nsa to begin with but ended being the person I have had the most sex with in my entire life. Messy divorce n sh*t put it to rest.

Ended up rediscovering missionary position and one on one.

I have lost the urge for new meets with numpties

I had a German soul mate....a week after his discussion about his next visit he announced he was leaving his wife and moving in someone... but they were not as special as me.... giggling as I write that... well at least I am still smiling!

Met a cute guy the other week who has moved abroad....France this time...off for a ski season of fun..

Considering putting a plaster on it and seeing if it heels over

The older I am getting the harder I am finding people I want to meet. They either want or expect a fuck and go, or they think I am attracted (make that should be) to their cock alone.

I don't think there is anything wrong with looking for someone with a connection, I haven't had sex in nearly 3 months now but I would rather go without than compromise myself

I have someone I meet fairly regularly and have been friends with for a couple of years, so I'm happy meeting other men for a mix of occasional repeats or just one offs. They all have their merits for me, but I think purely one-offs wouldn't do it for me.

Regular meets with like minded people would be ideal for us.

However our local scene seems to be about exploiting single men.

And when it comes to couples, it's all about proving yourself by meeting as many people as possible and becoming part of the in crowd.

It would be easier to join the Freemasons.

There is simply a shift then know how you are going to choose to use the site.

Nothing wrong with it

We all use FAB in different ways.

I guess it's very different swinging as a couple . We've only swung together so don't know how it is as a single .

So our perspective is totally different to the op and most of the singles who agree with her . We love the NSA one off meets , and find repeat meets rarely match the buzz and adrenaline rush of a newbie . Probably because we have each other for the more meaningful stuff ?

I really appreciate all the replies and glad many of you feel exactly the same as I do. I felt excited about the scene initially but am slightly wearied and prefer social meets and pure kink meets. I have.met two guys on here and had fantastic sex with them and met them more than once..having experienced that level of sex I am not now willing to compromise and take a step backwards.

Yes I agree the experiences a couple has compared to a single person is vastly different also I doubt you receive a lot less crass messages seeing as they have a male to contend with, though I may be wrong, but thank you for saying what you did x

Hmmmm, the experience isn't that different, we've played as singles so have that unique perspective.

We get our fair share of crass emails, proportionally.

We can certainly relate to the OPs experience, we enjoy sex with each other, so why bother damaging our self esteem just for a quickie with people we wouldn't normally give the time of day too?

Exploring kink, and my wife's bisexual side, is what keeps us swinging.

So that means regular meets - but we either end up being friend zoned or scaring people of.

Let's not forget sex is much better with someone you know where everyone involved know what the other(s) like and dislike. Having a chance to build up that trust is so much better than a random possibly rubbish shag.

It's just a pity more men don't understand it

Do they need sub titles? Why any female with a brain cell and the kind of arse that can wiggle and get followed for it...asks for a cock pic along with the face pic?

Guys like their cocks... and obviously think they only ever get chucked by a girl who has met a guy with a larger knob..

Who is then the larger knob?

I have considered asking for a cock pic from ant guy that has found ten requests of cock pics with a face request...who is not Grammar House of Horrors!

I pretty much meet the same people from here. With one in particular being my main fwb. But that wasn't what I came here for. And as nice as that is, I still love meeting new people. Yeah, sometimes I come away from a meet feeling a tad empty, but rarely. More often than not, I have a new friend.

We are lucky meeting people we know and having wonderful fun encounters at our local swinging club. The "randoms" make a lovely backdrop of physical activities you remember but you can't remember who was who. Maybe we have a balance that works. We like meeting our regulars and it gives that continuity which gives a feeling of stability.

Op i get this. Been on the scene for many years, and have had a few woman who became regular mistresses ( traditional sence) and these were the most satisfying meets always.

Sadly my main Mistress of 15 years died 18 months ago. I really miss that sense of relaxed playful trust and friendship that makes for the best meets. Miss her to be honest.

It's all about the connection, both mentally and physically - it grows with time and needs to be nurtured, friends with benefits is best!

I was talking about this with a fab friend and we agreed that whilst the thrill of meeting someone for the 1st time is amazing, sex is ultimately more satisfying with someone you have a connection with over time.

So my 'arrangement' with him works well, we only meet a few times a year when he's down south but we chat a lot. We get the thrill of meeting for the 1st time combined with the knowledge of what the other person likes.

I'm part of a couple but we like different things on occasion. I like D/s play and a voyeur, he loves dogging/one off meets and an exhibitionist.

For D/s you need trust so "regular" (some only four times a year) works for me. Dogging is all but dead around our way so we attend clubs together. He gets his one of meets and gets to show off in public and I get to watch!

Horses for courses.
