i know how you feel with the trans scene although slightly different for me , when i came out i was expecting a life of misery and lonlyness due to all my old friends and some family members drifting away which have now disapeared. but i accepted that as part of being transsexual , although ive met lots of online friends in the trans scene and have met up a few times ive actually found it to be really bitchy they all wanted to be they bell of the ball and wouldnt stand nxt to me or talk to me quite often which i thought was ridiculous im nothing special, but being with the trans comunity i felt even more of an outcast ( the it , the thing him her ) i havent got straight friends as such just a few old girlfriends that pop round once in a blue moon.
i joined sh by chance while looking for a trans friendly club in leic, mancs is too far to go out for a drink all the time but i stumbled accross sh, and i love it ive never been made more welcome by a group before and would like to say thankyou to everyone your a top bunch.
i have met clps before but were not my cup of tea , 3 somes ive had a few munches ive never done yet cant wait for the leic one, ill stop ramberling on dyslexia is creeping in so im forgeting the point of this other to say that everyone is fab i love it here what ever is going on i want a piece ...its all gravy baby lol
Just found this thread, which I never really read properly before.
I joined SH over a year ago, having swung before with couples as a single male. It has taken me a while to feel part of things here, and I never imagined that the few friendships I have made here so far would mean much more to me than any swinging (which I've done little or none of with SH members since I've joined, being one of the less outgoing types here).
And Rachel, it will be good to meet you at the Leicester mini-munch.

I first began meeting people with my wife back in 1983, and it was really out of curiosity after reading the usual adult magazines. We had one really bad experience which involved having to make a statement to the police (imagine how embarrassing that was in 1985) and my wife said she'd never do it again.
Since then I've been meeting people on my own, usually couples, and often for movie making.
We got into it about year and a half ago......tried our first club and found it to be very exciting the scene that have been doing it since and it has helped our sex life no end!
We met through swinging.
As it is such a big part of our relationship, we wouldn't consider not swinging now.
As Roger said, it has become our social life. We don't do the cinema or pubs anymore. Most of our friends are people that we have met through swinging.
It is sad to say but we find our friends that aren't swingers, just not fun anymore.
It is so liberating to be able to discuss any sexual fantasies with swinging friends.
So all you lovely swingers out there (((hugs)))
