Lucy kissWorks for me!
Amen to what Sappho said about friends and support. She her marvellous self was a pillar of strength to me last week, which was a particularly nasty one. I'll spare the details, but her support really helped me through. So, :rose: :rose: :rose: for you Sappho, you big star!
This seems as good a place as any to say this.
One of the purposes of this site is to provide a resource for couples and individuals to explore their sexuality. For those who wish to consider swinging without feeling they are signing up to a lifetime contract. It is certainly not some sort of swinging recruitment centre.
On this site you can explore things which would have to go un-said in any other environement, without shame, blame, guilt or judgement. It is a place where people talk about some of the most important and fundamental parts of their being. Sharing that emotion can build some very strong ties.
You learn about yourself and others. You learn new things, and you rid yourself of some old things. Then with that knowledge, you make a decision.
It was never intended that all who spend time in here stay. For many, the decision NOT to swing will do just as much to enhance their lives, as the decision to swing will do for others.
For those who are deciding to go, do not wish for things to be different, for that would be wishing for those people to be different. And I for one like them just as they are. If that means they have to go, then so be it.

FFS Kat!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
I hope you post your nominations sooner than you replied to this Thread!!!!
lol :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
(Kat: I know, I know ! )
Speaking as one who has posted nominations I have to say a real big thank you to Kat for resurrecting this thread. Here is the Creme de la Creme laid out above.
One spends so much time tapping away it is good to reflect on what turns the key for you.
I'm going to start with a hate (because it is probably the only one): I don't like people opening threads that are provocatively rude or crude when they don't understand what this place is about. I know, I know I came close in the early days but it was with the best of intentions -I was genuinely trying to get some things clear in my mind.
The things I love are too many to list and they have been covered extensively above - but particularly I love the quality of the people - there are some very special people here - the humour is fine in the fullest sense of the word - some of the subtleties are exquisite.
Finally, I love unsolicited PMs they make me feel so warm (at least the ones I've received so far have :!: ) I could go on and on and on..........
A big kiss for Kat for resurrecting this thread. Not only should it get the SHAT award for best thread but it should be reread on a monthly basis!
I've just read through it all, smiling at most, laughing at others, and getting a tad moist in the lachrymal area. If anyone doubts what Swinging Heaven is all about, let them read the Divine Wilma's thread and ponder on the sexiness of humour and truth and friendship.

Wow, does that mean if I re-read it I will get an errection?? dunno
lol :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'm with Sappho on this - this thread was started during a particularly low period here (post national press and post Voldemort!!). Today it is a joy to read and remember the great times here and the great people here.
Kat is working on sorting out some old threads and, believe you me, they are corkers (hope I haven't premptied his glory - but let it be his!). Some have made me weep with laughter, as they did the first time, and others are just so good that you wonder how such eloquence comes from those such as us.
So, keep on enjoying this place. I have met such wonderful friends here, most of whom I hope to keep as friends as I grow older, grayer and fatter - oh, and more drunk, and more senile and less coherent, and spend my pension on wild men and strong booze!!!
cool 8-)
well, very much a johnny-cum-lately to this thread and the site, but.........
i discovered this site completely by accident. peering over colleagues shoulders as they wet themselves checking the foto-ads and dogging sections at work. but then i discovered the chatroom, and began to make very real friends. when i found myself with rather more time on my hands than i'd like, those friends carried me through a few tough times. they know who they are, and have my thanks, and love!!! kiss
and then i eventually found the forum, thanks to JudyTV ( :kiss: ) and i discovered the wit, and intelligence, and a welcoming, open, friendly environment in which to attempt ( in my case ) to be funny and make more friends.
i don't know if it's healthy or not, but the first and last thing i do every day is log into the forum and the chatroom, just to catch up on what's happening with those i've come to know and count as friends! the fact i now have email addy's and phone numbers for a lot of those people, and can pretty much discuss anything with them, speaks volumes i think. and i know many of them feel able to do the same!
i'm kinda sad at the moment to see a lot of those people leaving the site. i've never met mrs peel or artificer ( not even virtually ) but they, amongst others, have made this site what it is i think, and they'll be sorely, sadly missed!!! i only hope they have a change of heart reading the replies to their farewell posts! and if not, then the best of all possible futures to them all!!!

Yes, it was the three leaving posts that prompted me to go and find this post (not difficult really - it was in the hall of fame!)
I was reflecting last night. It is a funny old place this. In here, we are dealing with some of the deepest emotional issues, and that is a very bonding experience. There are probably lurkers out there who get just as much out of the forums as we do.
Sometimes, people arrive in here because of fantasies that they hold. These fantasies are at odds to accepted social practices, and bring about mixed feelings, mainly desire and guilt.
In here, they work through those feelings. This is what brought Kit and I to the site. The wish to explore our own relationship and feelings for each other.
So I suppose the sad thing is that people should feel the need to come in here at all to explore those feelings. The fact that people arrive with questions, and leave with answers, should be something to celebrate.
That is not to say that we are a bunch of tortured souls, there are a whole range of motivations ranging from purely physical drives, to purely emotional drives. We all have something to chuck in the pot, and those that need it, are welcome to take it.
Nor is it true to say that the site is the answer to life, the universe and everything, as well as a special place, it is a specialist place. It is not for everyone.

Having just reread this Thread from the beginning once more, I too would like to thank Kat for resurrecting it.
I can confirm that my lachrymal area is positively dripping!!! dunno (No idea what it is but I'm sure that if Sappho says it should be moist then that's good enough for me!!!) confused :? lol :lol: :lol:
What struck me when reading this was that no one mentioned Swinging or sex, so people that are beating themselves up about not actually being a Swinger should reflect on that!!!
What's in it FORUM Me?
Let me tell you that today has been exciting, nerve racking, hectic, fun and one moment of sadness.
I popped home at lunchtime and fired up the pc.....guess what happened?
I had a house full of friends
That's what's in it FORUM me!!

There is a nice sense of community. People are genuinely concerned about other people. There is a lot of fun, a lot of good-humoured banter. A pleasant mix of characters; some strange, some mad and one or two that seem normal! ; )
It has been fun getting to know all the regulars. It will be a weird and funny to put faces to posts at the munch. I have created an image of all who post regularly and who are attending. Will the people of SH be as I imagine them to be in the ‘real world’ ?????????
Yeah, I enjoy the forums.
If you don’t like something, then don’t read on. Don’t see the point in getting upset, angry, frustrated…..life is way too short, concentrate on the good and ignore the crap.
Kinky Lizard
Hmmmmmm..............
Nice to see this thread back again - I remember when it made me think so hard first time round - even the realisation that I was bothered enough to stop and contemplate it was a surprise enough.
What does it mean to me now, in a nutshell ?
Exploration, friendship, boiundary-stretching, light-hearted banter and an openess to surprise myself on a regular basis. Oh, and an Indian squaw - not a bad bonus wink

as a recently new forum user, i would just like to say that i think it is fantastic..... funny, imformative and friendly. Nige and i have had great fun with our Python Quotes and TV programmes, not without posting on many other threads!! it passes many a boring hour when there is nothing on the tele!!
so all in all we would say it was a huge THUMBS UP!!
soph n nige!

Thought it was time to revive this thread - again!! If you haven't read it before then please do so, if you have read it before then please read it again.
No need to post on this - but it's just a reminder for you all.
:P
Made me want to cry seeing Artificer in this one and Kat. :cry: I love it smile . I read this thread when I was new and just felt wow and it got me going..........................guys I really trully think this place will always have a special place in my life. You have no idea how it has helped me come to terms with who I am as a person and has helped me rebuild a shattered confidence in meeting people outside of work situations. The person who first came on here in February has long since departed and I have confidence I never realised to say yes or no to whatever life brings and to realise and appreciate the gifts that each person brings to this arena. Hope you all bother to read the whole thread. Its pretty special to me. God I must be ready for some pmt I am feeling far too soppy..........................................................
Love Corriexxx
I did read the entire thread, and I have to say, that despite my flippancy much of the time, I echo many of the sentiments here.
There, I said it. I DO have a soul redface
Venusxxx
A brilliant topic to look through and i think that virtually every aspect,both good and bad on here has been covered.
So all i can say is i'm :inlove: with this place and i :love: everyone here.
Again, thank you and as much as anything I'm just putting back to the top as everyone should read it.
I love being myself and I that I'm guaranteed to read something funny and something poignant, more often than not in the same thread.
The only thing I don't like is that I can't be here everyday and that I can't seem to find the jokes again

kiss so much better than i could possibly have put it! :kiss:

Just a thought - could a kind mod sticky this for a couple of days perhaps - to keep it near the top.
And just like Corrie my heart leapt when I saw Arti's and Kits posts I miss them (and Kat) dearly.
Just as an aside - I'm going to meet up with KitKat at some point next weekend on my return from Bedrock. :inlove:
