After 4 years of secrecy keeping our swnging undercover, we decided that we could tell one or two of our close, non swinging friends.
One couple whom we have been very close friends with for many years were the first we told over a few drinks one night. They were horrified to say the least, especially when M admitted that she had had sex with probably 30 guys!
The woman phoned us the next day calling M a whore and told her not to go anywhere near her husband!
Unfortunately, the woamn is a loud mouthed cow and no doubt will take delight in telling all, when now we would rather have kept it all quiet!
what a situation!
I think most people on here wouldnt like their nearest and dearest knowing!
Hope your "friend" has the decentcy to keep stum, i dont think everyone has the same feelings towards swinging and hence the fewer people know the better
Hoopefully it will be a storm in a tea cup for you and the threat of everyone knowing passes quickly
Dont worry xxx
Guess it really is a test of a true friendship.....................
And a very brave step to take on your part...............
For that alone the least you deserve respect and regardless of what they think, for them to keep it confidential...........

Close friends or not, the subject should have been broached in a more subtle form and judging the feedback, before commiting yourself.
Asking questions that relate to sex will soon get either positive answers or uneasy squirms and attempts to go off subject.
It is not rocket science to determine the persons thoughts before going further. Typical Mary Whitehouse type ??
Now it is out, you just have to hope that her distain of anything non "Victorian" will be too embarrasing for her to repeat. :scared:
No, my loves. I disagree with what everyone else has said. You did a brave thing and I applaud you for it. Our friends know all about what we do. We live in a teenie village with one pub that is the centre of the community and yes, they all know.
OK, there are times, like last night, when we walk in the door of the pub and there are 20 people in there and it is SILENT. They know that we know that they're talking about us. So what? When it comes down to it we all drink together and laugh together.
If a stranger walks in the pub, someone else in there will shout "Vix.. Put him down!"
Yes, we're lucky. You were unlucky. But my guess is that you will find people coming up and asking you the truth. Maybe curious to the point of annoyance, but you could take the opportuinity to tell it how it is. Maybe you'll find new allies.
I wish you all the very best and am proud that you have finally "come out".
Well donee. :love:
JGL it wouldn't have been hard for them to work out your username, it's your initials innit? Can't you change it to somat they won't recognise?

The other alternative of course, is to bluff it out. If anyone asks, look at them like they have landed from another planet, and say "what on eart are you talking about?"You dont need to deny or confirm anything just look stunned like you havnt got a clue what they are talking about.
A friend of my sisters found out about me and greets me with 'Hiya swinger' whenever he sees me, especially when there are a lot of people around. I just brazen it out and shout back 'hey don't knock it till you've tried it!' Soon shut him up, wasn't so funny for him as if I had curled up blushing and cringing!
It's so tempting, I know, to want to share what you're up to. I've often been on the verge of saying something at work - my colleagues are very broad-minded and mostly funny guys. But I hold back 'cos a bit unsure. Someone once let out that I'd used an on-line dating agency to find fellas and it was reported to my line manager, who felt it was 'inappropriate' to share this information with my colleagues. Some people need to catch up with the times, I think!
Weve thought of telling a couple of very close friends about our swinging, but have decided never to do so.
Were not brave enough and we are shit scared of the possible consequences.
We think you are very brave to do what you did, and we are so sorry it backfired on you.
I suppose its a typical example of the narrow mindedness of the people in the 'real world', and a timely reminder that we are all still just perverts to many folks out there.
What a shame..................they know not what they are missing.
