Three questions to ask couples you want to swing with

Recommended Posts

The foundation of having a good swinging experience with another couple is chemistry and compatibility. Directly related to swinging, or in general, what are your top three questions you ask that you have found give the best results on determining if that compatibility is really there?

 

For us, it's:

 

1. How long have you been swinging?

2. How did you get into swinging, and who's idea was it?

3. Besides swinging, what do guys like to do for fun?

 

There's no right or wrong answers on any of those, but just by the replies, we usually have a pretty good feel for where to go from there.

I've never really thought about it enough to have "3 questions" but thinking about past experiences mine are usually...

 

What brings you here tonight?

What are you looking for?

Would you like to dance?

1. What are you guys into?

2. Are you into BDSM at all?

3. If the guy of the couple is bi I ask, Have you ever been pegged?

Hmm. After much thought and consideration, I've come up with these questions, which most certainly will elucidate my great interest and garner positive replies from the would-be swing partners:

1: My wife is hot, don't you think so?

2: When was the last time you tested positive for anything?

3: Ready to fuck?

:hahaha:

 

 

More seriously; great thread/question! I don't know that we have stock questions we ask people, but I do know we tend strongly to asking what got a given couple into swinging/how did they first come across it.

1. How long you have been swinging? health and fitness.

2. General Hobbies and interests.

3. Rules are those acceptable?

We usually just say "Hi". That starts the conversation (or not) and usually 10 seconds in you can easily tell if someone is a low-life idiot or actually has something going on upstairs.

Which TV shows do you like to watch?

Do you watch these shows together?

Which of you first brought up the notion of swing?

 

No wrong answers for the people whom we are interviewing. Simply to start them talking about themselves. If, however, they are unable to stop talking about themselves, that constitutes a wrong answer.

We learned this at one of the seminars we took while on a recent LS cruise and thought it is a pretty good view if there might be chemistry or not.

 

1. What are your Boundaries - where do you draw the line

2. What are your Intentions - what are you looking for now

3. What are your Desires - what is your utmost fantasy

 

All of the other questions listed by others are all good as well since some of them focus on non-swinging items. We talked about these three questions and found that once we had this discussion as a couple, we could have a great discussion with other couples along these questions and learn quickly if our interests align or not.

1. How did you meet?

2. What drew you together?

3. What do you do that makes the other happiest?

 

All three questions are about their relationship.

 

The first question is something that most couples have scripted and serves as an easy icebreaker.

The second question allows each to talk about the other as they were when they met.

The third questions invites comments on how they see/view/practice compersion, something that we think is somehow foundational to swinging.

 

One can see these as swinging--or non-swinging--questions. They do not address intent, boundaries or fantasies, of course. But they serve to illuminate whether we are speaking to a couple that is "on the same page" and whether the responses to the intent/boundaries/fantasies questions truly reflect shared ideas.

I do not believe "ultimate fantasy" should be a question. Most people have no good notion what their end-time fantasy might be.

 

The questions will depend upon context. And you do not want it to seem like a job interview. Some basics would be good.

 

* Do you use condoms?

* Are you seeking a relationship that excludes others or is limited to a small group?

* Are you ready for "anything goes" in the bedroom -- what sex acts are off-the-table.

We just love this thread. We are new to the lifestyle and this helped us a lot. We were a bit worried about how to start a decedent conversation with another couple. Especially if we are physically attracted to them and would like to take our meeting all the way.

 

Great thread and very helpful.

How long have you been in the lifestyle?

What is your sexuality?

What is your swing style and boundaries?

 

No right or wrong answer! Just things we want to know to help see if there is a match there.

      Hello all. 
       
      We have been engaged in the LS since Sept 2019 and have noticed a pattern in our activity; curious whether this mirrors that of many of you. 
       
      When we first began, we meet folks usually online, and occasionally in a social setting.  Initially, our goal to gain a face to face meeting with the potential couple; a coffee, a drink, whatever. Looking back on it, we likely met with too many couples who were not good fits. 
       
      Now, our goal is to ascertain the "fit" earlier in the process, so that we meet fewer couples, but the ones that we do meet are, in theory at least, ideally better fits for us. 
       
      Peeling back the onion on this, it appears that we have gotten better at asking some of the dealbreaker questions upfront
      (condom use, drug use, PnP, same room, play together,  etc) that would help to stratify best fit earlier in the process, long before we ever potentially meet.
       
      Red flags are also coming into play as we are now more aware of what some of these things are and how they influence what works for us, and what doesn't. 
       
      For those of you who have extensive experience in the LS, we would welcome your comments in terms of how you ascertain "fit". Is it a process or a particular step; certain questions upfront, etc?
       
      Many thanks.

      We are heading to Cuba on May 4th and will be staying at a non-lifestyle resort. As we enjoy getting together with other couples or inviting another guy to join us for some threesome fun, we are wondering if anyone has had any luck in attracting or getting the attention of potential interested play partners at non-LS resorts?
       
      If so, does anyone have any suggestions/tips/tricks that could help us in seeing if there are other people in the LS like us that may be willing to explore the possibility of some adult fun during our stay? After all, we are sure that we are not the only LS people that frequent non-LS resorts from time-to-time.
       
      Thanks and all the best to all Swingersboard members.

      The wife and I were discussing all of our swinging meet and greet dinners that never panned out. Many of them went really well and proceeded to planning stages for a date, but then aborted close to go-time.
       
      This could be just our perspective, but to us there seems to be a lot of people that fall into one of the following categories:
       
      -- They are in it to try to find a female for the wife. They have failed finding a unicorn, and so they have moved to the couples category and think they can just 'figure it out' and tolerate the spouse. Some of them even imply that they center around the girl play and get dodgy about what the guys are going to do while all of this is going down.
       
      -- The husband is clearly into it, and the wife acts into it but she doesn't interact as much. This inevitably ends in a last minute permanent flake where they disappear from the universe all of a sudden.
       
      -- Chatters. They meet for dinner and get excited. They chat enthusiastically for sometimes weeks trying to line schedules up. Time comes around for the play date and they bail.
       
       
      It's actually a welcome relief when couples figure out that our interests don't align very quickly and stop talking. That saves EVERYONE a lot of wasted time. I have a lot of regular good ol' American vanilla hobbies in my wife and I really don't want to waste weeks of energy for something that isn't going to go anywhere.

      It was a fairly typical night at D.J.s Island, an early autumn evening. Mary and I hadn’t set anything up in advance, we’d decided to go almost at the last moment. From the second we entered the door our radar was beaming across the club, searching for a couple that might be searching for what we were also interested in - an enjoyable tryst.
       
      Mary took a few minutes to change into what she called a ‘trolling outfit.’ As I remember, that night it was a black babydoll with a loose bodice, thong, low heels. Many men admired her legs as I checked the forty or so women, many as scantily clad as my wife. None of our regular playmates seemed to be in attendance that evening, but we had our customs, we weren’t concerned. Perhaps an hour and a half later, I sat at a table next to the dance floor, Mary was on her feet, on the parquet, moving her body, seeing if anyone would move in. A slow sequence of men approached her, danced with her. Some would take liberties such as moving their hands under her garment, feeling the small of her back, perhaps place their palm on the roundness of her ass.
       
      I’d seen this many times before, I waited for one of two reactions.
       
      The first was that she’d spin away from the man; it signified she wasn’t interested in what he had to offer.
       
      The second was that she’d get closer, I’d watch her whisper in his ear. I knew the question, “Where’s your wife?” Some of them would shake their heads, they were attending as one of the few single men the club allowed, and when they received Mary’s response, they’d move away - that’s not what we were looking for at the moment.
       
      But the man might indicate where his wife was dancing a few feet away. When this kind of thing happened, Mary would glance to me and give our special signal - she’d put one hand on the back of her head, one on her stomach. When I got the cue, I’d come out, we’d dance as a foursome.
       
      As I approached, a man grasped the elbow of a tall attractive lady who was more modestly dressed, at least for the club. There was no conversation on the dance floor, the heavy volume of music and the thumping of the bass wouldn’t allow for speech. But I could tell the woman was interested in me, the four of us paired off and I often found myself facing this vixen. It was obvious they were as interested in us as I was in them, I could tell by the way Mary was rubbing against the man that she felt the same.
       
      After a couple of songs, Mary led the way off the floor, holding his hand, leading us off into a corner away from the speakers. As we sat, the man said, “I’m Ed, this is my wife, Marilyn.”
       
      Marilyn and I softly shook hands, I believe she raised the hem of her skirt to give me a view of her upper thighs. Ed had no problem seeing Mary’s legs, or where they met - she was sitting so that the babydoll was gathered to her side, leaning forward so her globes were exposed to his view.
       
      “Do you come here often?” Ed asked.
       
      “Every few weeks,” I responded, “you?”
       
      “This is our first time here.” Mary gave him a look that asked for further info. “We’re just starting this,” he admitted.
       
      Marilyn picked it up. “We’ve only had one time with a couple of friends. We liked it, heard about this place, decided to see if we could get into more trouble.”
       
      “Trouble’s our middle name,” I joked.
       
      Our conversation continued, where do you live, what movies have you seen lately, etc. It was a screen, of course, we were all calculating if the four of us would be pleasurable bedmates. I paid my attention to Marilyn, my wife had told me numerous times not to worry about her, she can take care of herself. My hand found Marilyn’s knee, she smiled at me, encouraged me to reach a tad higher. We bent towards each other, our mouths met.
       
      Marilyn opened her lips to me, the kiss was ardent, her mouth moist. She licked at my upper lip, her hand fondled the back of my neck. Our tongues clashed, promising cupidity, mimicking what I presumed our bodies might be doing in a few scant moments.
       
      We broke for a moment, Marilyn invited, “Would you guys want to go to one of the rooms?”
       
      I, of course, was all for it, but then I heard Mary. “Uh, not right now. But thanks.”
       
      We’ve always had the guideline that if one person doesn’t want to do something, she speaks for both of us. Regretfully, I pecked at Marilyn’s lips a last time, we stood, went separate ways.
       
      “You’re not upset, are you?” Mary asked me.
       
      “Of course not, not at all. You’re not in the mood?”
       
      “Oh, I’m in the mood all right, just not with Ed.”
       
      “Something wrong with him?” I asked.
       
      “I tried to get him interested,” Mary revealed, “but his kiss was a little cold, indifferent. I put my hand on his leg, he was too busy watching you and Marilyn, he never responded. My guess is that if we went into a room, he’d be watching you two, I’m not even sure he’d get hard for me.” It was a reasonable thought, it had happened to us a couple times before. “Hope you don’t mind, bet she’d have been a firecracker.”
       
      “Maybe. But you’re a firecracker too.”
       
      We headed back to the dance floor, in search of another couple.
