Sticking a toe in the water...

23 May 2005

Hi all -
OMG it's another newbie...!!
Just briefly de-lurking to say hello... I've been reading the forum for a few days, and it looks like excellent fun - and some very thoughtful and considerate people in here too.
(not like those rude folk over there in the Photo Ads... ooohhh... naughty people! wink

)
I thought this thread was wonderful...
I'm frankly awazed at myself, posting on a "swingers" site, when frankly I haven't too much of a clue what I'm doing here - other than that I know I have a tremendous attraction to experiment with the idea, and that at some point I'm probably going to have to stick more than my toe in the water (as it were... euphemistically :-)
I'm frankly somewhat terrified by the idea, but also very drawn to it... and I have a feeling of "now or never" (how did you folks feel when first getting involved?)
(Of course, posting in a forum is not exactly a radical step, but - well it's a start.
I'm not yet at the point of posting images of my genitalia on the photo-ads...
:shock: )
I'm a currently single guy, who has had plently of good sex in good monogamous relationships (just like you're "supposed" to... in that mainstream world, in which all my friends are now getting married and having kids)
But yet... somehow there has always been something unfulfilled in terms of experimentation, opportunity for other encounters... that just doesn't seem to "fit" in the mainstream idea of relationship.
To be honest, I think that it can kill a relationship, if you're secretly resenting it for the loss of freedom. (Anyone else know what I'm banging on about?)
How on earth you reconcile the need for relationship with the need for sexual freedom - well maybe some of you know rather better than me?!
Well I said I was going to be brief, but I think I've rambled on a bit... sorry!
Toe now firmly inserted in water... (or mouth?)
All the best

Gemini....
You will go far my friend. Next step the knees, and by friday you may even be neck-deep in the SH pools of pleasure. You just never know....
Please post more. With that attitude you will quickly make friends here. Get your name down for munches and you will soon wonder how you ever survived without us nutters.

Hiya, welcome and we hope you have fun here!

Hi & welcome - we felt exactly the same when we finally posted on SH - in fact our first thread was titled "excited or scared",,, Having gotten over the first hurdle, we are having the time of our life here - such good fun and some really cool people.
So kick back, pull up a chair and prepare to become addicted - hope you find what you're looking for.

You clearly have not been reading the forum very well then!!! lol

How on earth you reconcile the need for relationship with the need for sexual freedom - well maybe some of you know rather better than me?!Are you trying to say that its not possible to have sexual freedom and a relationship?If so i have news for you!!
Well I said I was going to be brief, but I think I've rambled on a bit... sorry!
Toe now firmly inserted in water... (or mouth?) Ehm!!!
