airbrushman 22 Posted March 4, 2008 even though she does not like the word "swinging" and the idea of going to a club or party I think is out of the question, while watching Nina Hartly's "intro to swinging" I know she is interested. we have been to hedonism 3 and she has had a little ff play, we love the sexualy charged atmosphere. so I had an idea I now there are several people on this board are like us. so here is what I asked her, if we knew about 3 other couples that were like us, interested in "soft play" and we met in a place like New Orleans (just because she tends to get a little wild in New Orleans) would you be interested in going and getting to know them, and she said maybe she would. we normally stay at the inn on bourbon where there are 4 rooms on the balcony that over looks bourbon st. it is a good place to party and the balcony is a good place to just talk and get to know someone. I just think that if other couples are like us and curious, it would be a good place for like mind people to maybe test the waters, play some break the ice games (strip poker or plinko,drinko, stripo, it is played with a plinko board, fun game we play , but I think it would be more fum with more people;-)). I told her that we could discuss the limits up front and she said she like that idea. I know some of you that have been in the lifestyle for a while may think it sounds lame, but for us that may be interested in having some soft play, but may be intimidated by going to a club or a party I think this may be a good idea. what do you think abm Quote Share this post Link to post
des1re06 200 Posted March 4, 2008 From what you've said here, it sounds good. She's on board and you've talked about your limits. Just don't forget to talk openly with the other couples about their limits also. I too love New Orleans! Have fun! Mrs. D Quote Share this post Link to post
EggPlantKing 30 Posted March 4, 2008 Make sure you are not going in with expectations of something. Like everyone has told me could be a good sexual time or could be just a meet and greet. Oh and speaking of meeting and greeting. If you find those couples see if she is interested in getting to know them via computer or phone before hand. It may loosen her up more with them in person. Also don't forget like almost anyone will tell you "Let her lead then Follow." her blossom will flower when its ready not when your spring is in the air. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post
sweet_tna 680 Posted March 4, 2008 Sounds to me like private parties are more your scene, and there's nothing wrong with that. You've gotta' do what works for you and the Mrs. Just make sure you keep talking--with each other, and the other couples you meet. Have fun in N'walins! =) Quote Share this post Link to post
airbrushman 22 Posted March 4, 2008 eggplantking, you hit it right on the nose, that is what we talked about. just meet like minded people with no expectation except meeting new friends thats why I like the idea of the balcony so everyone could sit and talk and just get to know each other. and I like the idea of getting to know each other via e-mail and phone, we did that before we went to hedonism and it felt like we had been knowing them for years abm Quote Share this post Link to post
redeye69 8 Posted March 4, 2008 Wow just the opertunity to sit on a balcony on Bourbon st would do me , really nice idea. Quote Share this post Link to post
good times 991 Posted March 5, 2008 Sounds like a fine idea, then again, what you want to do also sounds like a typical night at most swingers clubs or meet and greets. I think the reason most folks are intimidated by clubs is because they have a distorted view of what the clubs are really like. I know before we went to our first one we thought they were a dark room with a bunch of leisure suit Larry's and half dressed women in one big orgy. What they actually are is usually more like a regular night club filled with regular like minded friendly people. Occasionally you might see some scantily clad women, but usually you have to go to the separate play areas of the club even to see that. You might see a few people doing a little soft play or playing ice breaker type games in the common areas, but usually it is just dancing, visiting, playing pool or darts with a little bit of flirting thrown in if all parties are receptive. Another thing to keep in mind about the clubs is that on most nights, at the clubs we have been to, a significant number of the folks attending are newbies too. Last weekend we went to one of our local clubs and I would say it was a fairly typical night. We didn't meet everyone there, but we either already new or met for the first time about a dozen couples. Of those, two couples had never been to a club or actually played with anyone. Another couple had been to a club once before but never played with anyone, and two other couples had only played with anyone once before. My point is, it would be highly unlikely that you would go to a club and be the only new couple there. Quote Share this post Link to post
BiloxiCouple 695 Posted March 5, 2008 If ya'll decide to try a swingers club, there is Collettes just off Bourbon and Canal. Within walking distance of where ya'll will be at. First floor is a dance floor and BYOB bar. Plenty of seating. 2nd floor is the play area. 3rd floor is the themed rooms for rent like a B&B. In case you want to take it up a notch:facelick: Quote Share this post Link to post
airbrushman 22 Posted March 5, 2008 fun4D, we don't have any couples in mind that is one reason I posted this, I've seen others post on here that seemed to have the same fillings and fears that we do, so thought some of them may be interested. I would definitely respect the boundaries and if my wife did not want to go them we would'nt go, but as far as going to a strip club, she would be one of the first to go as long as there were good looking stripers, like she has said befor if we are going to pay someone to strip we want them to look good. and as far as the games.... we like game (ie strip poker) we play a lot just with us just for something a little different. the plinko game I mentioned, I made some cards for it and it could make a great "full contact" game. as far as it actually happening if it does and all we get out of it is new friends it would still worth the 3 hour drive:) abm Quote Share this post Link to post
Pepper & Drew 384 Posted March 6, 2008 Ahh....New Orleans. That's where our foray into this began.... Anywho, I agree with Good Times. In our local area, there are several meet and greets that are exactly what I think you guys are looking for. It's designed to meet people in a low pressure environment, get to know each other a little, then, if you want, you can head to a more private location. And, I know you're saying you want inexperienced couples, but sometimes experienced couples are better at putting newbies at ease and with knowing exactly what they want. It sounds like you're headed in the right direction. Good luck! Pepper Quote Share this post Link to post
airbrushman 22 Posted March 8, 2008 does anyone want to go to new orleans;-) abm Quote Share this post Link to post
Drusilla 22 Posted March 14, 2008 Wow....that sounds awesome! It sounds like just the right thing for us. I'd love to go but not sure I'd convince hubby. *sigh* After 9 months of seriously "thinking about it" and finding the idea "intriguing", he still won't go any further. I know...usually it's the girl that needs to be "convinced". We've switched that up a bit. LOL It definitely sounds like a great idea and a fun time! Quote Share this post Link to post
fun4Ds 1,098 Posted March 14, 2008 does anyone want to go to new orleans;-) abm Its on our list but farther down the road. We are scheduled for Chicago, Nashville, Georgia, Seattle and Vegas. But there is something to be said for the greatest party in the world. For me personally, I'm all about a good party Quote Share this post Link to post
airbrushman 22 Posted March 14, 2008 drusilla, as far as the new orleans thing we we are hoping just to have a good time, nothing to farout, my wife is kinda timid as well, but once she gets to new orleans and a few drinks she tends to loosen up, now I now that is not the time to make the decision to swing thats why make sure and talk about the beer is not talking. Fun4Ds, mardi gras is not the only time to have a good time in nola, just about any weekend its always a good party. its a good place for the ladies to test to see if they have a problem with being nude in public ;-) abm Quote Share this post Link to post
good times 991 Posted March 14, 2008 Its on our list but farther down the road. We are scheduled for Chicago, Nashville, Georgia, Seattle and Vegas. Just an FYI (hint), Reno happens to be strategically positioned about half way between Seattle and Vegas. Quote Share this post Link to post
fun4Ds 1,098 Posted March 14, 2008 What GT, you think we could just drive past and not say hello ? No way, we have to stop in. Its going to be a drive by though. There is some archeology areas in Clovis, NM that is nothing to most, but has a special interest for me. We will be flying to Seattle then rent a car for the ride home.

Fantasy01 11 Posted March 18, 2008 We have toyed with the idea of going to a club but we've heard that most of the people are young and we are in our late 50 and 60s.... Quote Share this post Link to post
airbrushman 22 Posted April 1, 2008 well we had our first meet up, and it was awesome. we met at a casino and had dinner gambled a little and went back to our room and set and talked, while we talked i put on some good xxx movie, and after a few drinks we decided to play adult plinko and after a while we were all naked and having some sexy fun, all soft play, but man it was great it definitely put a sark in my wife and i as a couple. abm Quote Share this post Link to post
