oh no not the sun thats there will be a load of idiots on this site for about a week then
kenluvslucy,
just for once in my life, i'll actually buy the sun! this should be good. there'll no doubt be the dire warnings that swingers are singlehandedly responsible for every STD known to man ever, and advice that divorce is probably a better option if your partner suggests swinging.
i hope for once to read a reasoned articulate discussion, but i won't hold my breath!
neil x x x ;)
Why does it always seem to be the people who know nothing that think they're the authority on everything? BIG sigh!
Sorry to disagree with some of you (yet again!), but I don't think the ability (mutual consent) of a couple to swing necessarily indicates a stronger relationship than that of a couple that chooses not to; nor for that matter is it likely to strengthen that relationship, any more than having a child does.
Indeed, there is a tenable argument that in a couple that swings, there is a greater likelihood that one or other partner will find themselves becoming emotionally attached elswhere.
In Day Two of my series on Britain's sex secrets, I explain that while fantasies about group sex or threesomes can add spice to a relationship, the reality usually ends up with someone getting hurt.

While I agree it's not always wise to try to make your fantasies a reality, it depends on the individual and their circumstances.
I personally don't know of anyone who has been seriously hurt through swinging. Maybe a few dented egos, a bit of irrational jealousy when emotions have got in the way??
I think Dreary is commenting on the people who swing when one partner isn't really into it. What o you think?
On that note, can I ask if anyone has been hurt by/ through swinging?
I fell off and broke my wrist, Does that count? :swingingchair:
My first thought it 'what were you doing reading the sun in the first place??'... my second thought is along the same lines.
When i become leader of the (not so) free world i will ban tabloids and their irresponsible journalism.... I'll also round up all the Daily Mail staff, look them in camps, torture them, persecute their families leaving them with no option but to flee the country in fear of their lives - i wonder how unsympathetic they'd be about asylum seekers then??!!
i have to admit, that although Daz and i had talked about swinging in great detail before getting involved, i still feel a tiny bit insecure at times - what if the other woman is better than me, what if Daz prefers her to me?? thoughts like that could have had a serious strain on our relationship, but now i've learnt to look on it like this - i "Make love" with Daz, with anyone else, its just sex. Since ive put that philosophy into practice, i've felt 100% more confident and comfortable with swinging, and its also helped Daz and I to talk even more openly than we did before about what we want out of meets.
But, having said all that, we've only met 1 couple that we felt totally and completely relaxed with, and they are the only couple we would even consider meeting on a regular basis.
Hmm, just had a quick scan of the article and the prognosis isn't good. Apparently I've lost touch with my emotions, am about to lose my other half and need to call relate.....
Better get on the phone sharpish.........
