We don't have an open relationship,everything we do we do together,i trust my partner with my life but if i felt she needed to swing without me being there that would mean something was wrong....does that sound right?....she has watched me with others and i have watched her with other people and thats what makes it exciting for us .....if that changed then maybe we would have to look at the whole picture and find out why?

Isnt it strange how people see things differently? If my h/b didnt trust me enough to have sex when he wasnt there Id question the value of our relationship!!!
i know it's weird isn't it how peoples perspective of swinging is different......no one is right or wrong with their views it's just the way they feel and maybe how they got into swinging in the first place......when some couples get into swinging there are always groundrules first......it's when those rules change for worse!
Its fantastically pointless to fuck other people separately when youre in a relationship with someone who's into swinging. Its like buying a mercedes and cycling to work every morning.
I dont undertsand couples who want separate rooms and I probably never will (mainly because when I hear the word 'separate rooms' I start mentioning scat with a maniacal, dribbly grin to get rid of them)
I thought I was in an open relationship just recently, but when my partner started to exclude me from her activities it was hard not to feel resentful. But I did accept it. However, when told not to go looking at any of her pics on her PC I'm afraid curiosity got the better of me. Turns out they were only pictures of her own minge which I'd seen many times before close up.
Was not expecting to be kicked out onto the street however and deprived of my worldly possessions.
So much for an open relationship.
perhaps i am over simplifying things, but. If your regular 'shop' only supplies 90% of your needs you have to find another 'shop' to cater for the remaining 10%. Doesnt mean you have to stop using the regular shop though as the other shop is unlikely to stock everything.
This is one of the most interesting threads I've seen - great to see the many different ways that other people have discovered, and the way that works for them. I'm pleased most of the stories have been happy ones where the swinging or openness, in whatever form, led to more honesty and trust. It's always sad to hear of times when it hasn't worked, but I think it has to be about expanding on a good basis of caring and communication (hope that doesn't sound like pontificating)
i also think its about maturity. I would not of considered an open relationship around 4 years ago. But now I would and see sex as just a physical, ace fun act. I love my partner and she loves and this is deeper than just physical fun.
biggrin
As a single male I guess I'm not best paced to contribute,but a few thoughts have popped into my head whilst reading this very interesting thread.
As many have mentioned trust and love are major one partner is insecure then surely swinging or open relationships are a major no no.
I can say that with a degree of experience,my ex(yes HER again!) and I enjoyed a fantastic sexual relationship,we were continously pushing the her instigation we had a threesome with a friend of hers,great fun was had by an hour she was on the phone saying how awful she felt about needed me to tell her that I found her more attractive than her kept coming up weeks later and she needed constant a weird way I think it contributed to our split.
She was obviously not mature or secure enough.

I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience LazyBoy sad
I think the 'friend of hers' scenario is not easy unless all or some of you are very very clear about it. One of the nice things about a swingers club is that it only happens in the club or other swinger situation - with most of the people you meet there, swinging is the basis of the freindship, if friendship is what develops. From my own experience, I've either said "let's all talk this through very thoroughly first" or "if we fancy swinging, let's go to a swingers club!" There you go home with your own partner and it's the end of the story (except you have lots of juicy things to talk about and share!) If it's a friend from outside the scene, there's all sorts of grey areas and she might worry that they would overlap at some point in the future. And by the way, I hoep you did tell her you fancied her more than any woman on the planet lol - if not, then maybe it was just waiting to happen anyway.
Treasure the good times, in their own time and place - may your new days open new experiences, and without the hurt.
