Dunno about that!
Interesting topic.
As a single it has thrown a lot of questions and I've sat here ages trying to answer them!
I used to think this lifestyle was just a stop-gap while I was between relationships. I've always had fuck buddies for that purpose and that is how and why I initially joined the scene.
I've been here nearly two years and during part of that time had a vanilla relationship so took a break from the site for a while. Once we'd split up I came back again. My ex was not interested at all in swinging, in fact he went mad when I mentioned the site so I decided not to push it further. At that point I could live without the lifestyle.
Now things have changed. I feel a lot more involved in the scene. Whilst I'm not the most experienced person I have done some things I never thought I would have the chance to. There are loads more things I want to do - in my own time. I enjoy my life a lot more now and I do feel liberated!
The fact is that this is now a way of life for me. I certainly couldn't cope without the social side of things and I can't imagine not wanting or being able to to try all the things I want to do.
I'm not sure I could have a totally vanilla relationship again, I couldn't behave myself enough I don't think!
