“Hey honey – what would you think about swinging?”
“As in going to the park?”
“Umm…not exactly…”

Eight years ago, a conversation about swinging would have found me locked in a bathroom wondering why I wasn’t good enough for my boyfriend. Eight years later, however, I have entered into the lifestyle and realize how beneficial it can be for the right couple. Who would have thought that sharing your spouse with another person could not only be a turn on, but could also bring you closer together?

According to Official Swingers Online, a questionnaire showed that more than 60 percent of couples who enter into a swinging lifestyle did feel closer. All of the couples that I have talked to about their swinging lifestyle say that they are not only closer, they have a more active sex life as well. Many recount stories about how an innocent shared phone call with a potential couple has turned their bedroom into an inferno of desire and need.

My husband and I entered into swinging excited and a bit nervous. We met people through online adult websites and began learning more about the lifestyle. We were warned quickly by other, more experienced swingers that we had to have a strong relationship with each other in order to enjoy other people without ruining our own relationship. I remember questioning a few different swingers about sexually transmitted diseases, and rather than receiving the “you’ll be fine” assurance that I desperately wanted to hear, I was informed that, “yes, STDs are a possibility, so make sure you talk with your other partners about the protection you want to use before you begin to play together.”

This scared me quite a bit, but I realized that contracting an STD was something that I would have to risk if I wanted to enter into the lifestyle, and we both promised to play safely at all times to minimize the risks as much as possible. We met our first couple and both of us were ready to jump the gun and, to quote my husband, “get it on.” Being old hands at this, however, the other couple took things really slowly, insisting on long emails and some phone calls before the initial meet. One essential rule in swinging is that there should never be any pressure.

We met for dinner and even though we were extremely nervous, things seemed to progress naturally. One minute we were all talking in the living room, the next we were in the bedroom and the heat was turning up.

Swinging, however, isn’t the answer for everyone. If the foundation of the relationship is cracked, swinging can be the wrecking ball that destroys the relationship entirely. While there are thousands of happy swingers across the nation, there are thousands of others who ventured into swinging as a last ditch effort to save their marriage only to discover that it made things worse. The swinging lifestyle isn’t an answer for a troubled marriage, but is a fun activity for two partners who are secure and content to simply be with each other.
