The first thing to remember is that it is not a race, your first experience could be wonderfull or a disaster, that is up to you.
Take your time, discuss what you want to do, remember the basics for discussion, do you want to kiss the people you decide to play with, do you want to swap partners or just have the same room fun with your own partners and lots of other aspects. Decide on them first, you will probably with time expand your meeting criteria but it is good to have a basis to start with that you will both feel comfortable with.
It could take a very long time to find a couple you want to meet, you will probably get a lot of offers but consider what could go wrong before you consider how much fun it will be, knowing the downside will make the upside so much easier to find.
Personally I would advise getting yourselves out to a pub social, no play tends to take place at them but you can make some new friends and chat 1 to 1 about what to expect.
Better still would be to get to a club Like the Attic in Bristol or Chameleons in Newport, there you can see what happens without any pressure to join in until your comfortable to do so
We were swinging long before we joined any sites and I'm so glad we were! I think that if you are looking for possible candidates for your first experience on a website, there is a lot of pressure on both parties to get it right and too many reasons to put it off. If you think back to your first ever shag, would you have made arrangements to loose your virginity with someone you had never met?
We were going to swinging clubs long before we were on here. There was the right atmosphere, we'd not arranged to meet anyone there but chatted to people in the bar prior to playing, knew we fancied them and so there was no worries of 'how do we get out of it if we dont like them?'
I really feel that this is the way to go, or a social event if you want to meet people without playing.
Totally agree with MidsCouple though, in that you need to know exactly what you're looking for out of playing, what your boundaries are, etc. We even had a safe word so that if we were playing and one of didnt like it, we could use the word and the other would know that play had to stop without the awkwardness of someone saying "STOP!" It's best to be safe and know exactly what you are both 'allowed' to do. Remember, you cant take anything back.
Good luck in your search x
And with the above example can I just add a personal opinion that I believe is shared by almost all active swingers ......
Swinging is great fun but has never been worth losing a relationship for :inlove:
You will become aware, as you use the sight, that not all members are who they claim to be. An example might be that a so called couple is in fact a guy on his own. You can see how taking time to verify, the girls speaking together beforehand for instance, is well worthwhile. Lots of genuine members on site are no doubt able to give further important advice, and of course the site has it's own safety guidelines.
thanks for all the replies guys, really appreciate you all taking time out to advise us. We're thinking of maybe going to a munch, that way theres no pressure and we can hopefully get to meet a few of you!
