"Male Swingers", whether married or single, often find The Lifestyle to be an amazing experience. Although women usually lead in "The Swinging Lifestyle", the man is often the one to introduce their wives and/or girlfriends to The Lifestyle. Often, men that are not active in The Lifestyle would be if only they could find a partner who was ready and willing. Guilt also plays a factor in stopping men and women alike from swinging.
Married couples in a solid relationship adding a male or female to their erotic fun together can be such an enhancement. Of course, both must be equally interested and open to sharing of themselves and or their spouse with this added partner. One must be open and honest with themselves as well as their spouse concerning their feelings of adding this third person. The lines of communication should always be open and guidelines should be made to assist in what should and should not unfold during a swinging encounter. Always act maturely and allow events to happen naturally. Never have high expectations and always simply enjoy the pleasures the encounter offers you.
"Women Swingers" have a role that has been greatly evolving over the past 30 or 40 years in swinging. It is not only common, but often times expected that women take the assertive role in choosing "sex partners" and setting boundaries and limits. Swinging allows women and men to explore alternate sex-roles.
NO always means NO! The Golden rule of swinging. Be sure that you are aware of the guidelines of any prospective partner/partners and make them aware of yours. We all prefer clean, safe sex so be squeaky clean and fully aware of what is expected concerning condoms and other safe sex methods. Use your common sense, swinging is only sex, simply with added partners.
"Jealousy" can be a harsh reality in The Lifestyle. Both men and women should be on guard, as they could become jealous as soon as their swinging fantasy becomes a reality and they watch as their spouse begin to fondle or even flirt with another person. Many couples are able to work through the jealousy and get to a place where they really enjoy swinging.
