Just thought i'd ask the question. I guess for us it seems it has. The first coule of years it was, certainly in comparison to now, quite active and very social/ However the last three or four seem to have shown a decline in our activity and though still vert much enjoying what we do swinging seems to have evolved for us into the very occasional rather than the large part of our social life it once was.
I feel that swinging has certainly gravitated towards the club scene in our area with a few smaller clubs opening up around the area and as a result a lot less people are swinging at or from home than ever. Bit of a shame personally as I enjoyed the house meets most of all, excepting the big social events as I loved them, Jay however seems to think it is more about us than the scene and that we dont actively pursue the swinging as we first did. Probably a mix of both is the truth of the matter. What do others think has happened to their swinging lifestyle over time?
Me and Mr Tigs were working out that we have been in the scene for 10 years now. That does not mean that we have been "Shagging continuously" for that amount of time. To be honest we make pretty poor swingers lol.
We have found that in the beginning it was a very social thing, lots of munches and lots of social meets. This is where most of the "action", the after parties took place, or arrangements were made.
In recent years it has been more of sending messages to people, meeting up and shagging. So basically meet say hi shag lol.
We much prefer the older days, we think people were friendlier and it was much more fun. It seems much more hard work now. Also you knew if the people were fake in the old days now it is done more over the internet.
Oh yes indeedy! It's changed for moi, but in a good way.....

The main thing I think is the amount of people now being involved in one way or another in swinging. there are now alot more clubs than 5 years ago....and I think quite a few more younger people are starting to swing. Before it tended to be the over 30's that were involved generally, but now and especially at club level, we see alot in the 20's in there.
Also I do think swinging is becoming more socially acceptable and almost mainstream. we saw Vanilla Alternative club, advertise on WOWcher other day, and sold out there allocation on 150 discounted enteries in 4 days !!
Swinging...is not the that little hidden secret so much now !!!
It has changed for me as I no longer do it, but it does seem a bit more " mainstream" as programmes have been made about it, also I have noticed in the problem pages in newspapers there are a lot of stories of how swinging has ruined a relationship or marriage.
I think lots of people are still curious about it, however for a few it appears the right mindset isn`t there and it may not always bring you delights you thought it would.
Swinging hasn't changed, the people have.
Swinging has changed hugely, simply because of that wonderful invention, the Internet.
I think without that invention, swinging would be the same today as it was 30 years ago. The internet has made everything so much easier from meeting up to saying hi on cam etc.
yep that's what I said at the start, swinging hasn't changed we have, I am 12 years older now and in less demand (demand was never high but we got occasional meets now we get none, this year so far, new meets NIL, zilch, none, niet,)
Perhaps the pampas grass should make a comeback then Jed. You might get some passing trade :lol2:
