New boyfriend want to swing? Not sure what to do

Recommended Posts

My new boyfriend used to swing. He said he didn't want to any longer when we met, but the last couple weekends he has made references to how much swinging did for him sexually. I'm afraid that I'm not enough sexually for him. I'm not sure what to do. I love him and I don't want to lose him. I had an open relationship when I was married but it was not a good experience. I want to see him climax but he has trouble when it's just me. Any advice?

Number One: WELCOME to Swingersboard.

 

Next: if you get into swing, it should definitely be for your own reasons. People who do it for the simple reason of pleasing a spouse or significant other are very liable to encounter trouble, especially if it happens early in a developing relationship.

 

Wishing you the best of outcomes.

Welcome. I think it's great that you've come here to learn more about swinging.

 

I don't have any great advice, I'm sorry. Sometimes, people can be great friends and partners but, they're just not sexually compatible. Unfortunately, that doesn't make for a good relationship. I would continue talking with your boyfriend and getting to know each other.

 

I wouldn't explore swinging or group sex unless it is something you want.

I have hardly any experience myself but I have done my research by reading through a lot of the threads here, it really does help to explain and understand all aspects of swinging.

 

The part where you say he struggles to climax with just you is the bit that worries me, it is my understanding that swinging should be something you get involved in to add some extra spice to an already raging sex life and not seen as something to fill in the gaps.

 

I would suggest concentrating your efforts on improving your sex life first, learn what does it for him, it's not unusual in my experience for a new relationship to not quite hit the right spots straight away, sometimes some time and attention is required to learn what turns each other on.

 

I think coming here and learning about swinging is a great thing to do though, reading these forums and having discussions about swinging has brought my wife and I closer together than ever and we've been together nearly 20 years, also it will demystify a lot of what he got up to before he met you

:Welcome:

 

Another new relationship mixed with swinging (I'm assuming it is still fairly new).

 

I'm afraid that I'm not enough sexually for him.

 

Swinging isn't about you being good enough or active enough or daring enough for him. It's about variety and pushing boundaries and so much more...but if you are not on board (and there's NOTHING WRONG with you not being on board, some people can't or their relationship isn't ready for something like this), then you and he have a choice to make. Either he stops with bringing it up and (at least for the short to medium term) gives up on the idea or you end the relationship (it's much better to start over before you've invested too much time than wait until it crashes on its own). If my SO were to say she wanted to stop swinging and never do it again...we're stopping. She is and always will be way more important that recreational sex. So you love him and don't want to lose him, but if he wants to swing...if swinging is more important to him than you are, and you don't, you've already lost him. Better to start again now than a month/year/decade down the road.

 

Thinking that you will 'try' it once or twice and he'll 'get it out of his system' is also just another :trainwreck:. If you are not 100% on board with swinging for your own reasons (and not just because he wants to), things will still end badly.

 

Swinging REQUIRES enormous amounts of love, trust and communication...more than most couples will ever have and usually much more than what new relationships have. It also requires a very open progressive attitude that some people just aren't 'wired' for. It can be wonderful and take a couple to unexpected heights, or crash them into the rocks at light speed. You are not ready, and you may never be ready, and that's okay. The two of you need to have a talk to see how important this is to him. Good luck and we wish you the best.

      We attended a swing club twice to dance and watch other couples play. Me and wife played together. I wanted to bring another man to our play just for her. I mentioned this to her, and her response is the thought of it turned her off.
       
      Every time I bring this topic I always got the same response. Until lately the response changed to "are you trying to give me away?" (as a joke).
       
      Her latest one is "help me lose weight first then I will start looking around. You know I'm always hot if I am not a little heavy."
       
      Folks, do you think my wife is ready? If you think she is tell me how we get started.

      Hi! We just wanted to introduce ourselves. We are a young married couple and have been together for 7 years. Just recently we have really started talking about getting into swinging. We aren't quite ready yet. We want to make sure that we feel totally comfortable and want to set a lot of ground rules to make sure it goes as smooth as possible. Plus we have a few pounds to lose and want to get into the best shape possible before going into something like this. We are thinking that in a year or so we will try it. I am just curious for beginners what is the best way to get into the lifestyle? We were thinking of maybe going to a club/party when we feel ready and just taking everything in and seeing what we feel comfortable with and what we don't.
       
      From what I have heard swinging can really enhance a marriage and can be a great way to explore desires and get to experience things together. I have also heard that problems (jealousy etc) usually occur because a marriage is not solid so we are making sure that we have a very strong and secure marriage before doing anything like this. We are totally in love with each other and very attracted to each other. Our sex life is great. I love my husband with all my heart and I know he feels the same way. Neither of us needs to have sex with other people, we just feel like it might be a good way to be able to live out our fantasies and experience other people. My husband is the only person I have ever had sex with and I have definitely wondered what it would be like to be with another guy. Plus I am very bi-curious and really want to experience being with a girl. My husband would also like to be able to be open sexually and experience new people and situations. We realize that it would be just sex and that we would have to separate sex and love and realize that although we would have multiple sex partners we would only have one emotional partner.
       
      I know swinging isn't for everyone. How can we truly decide if we are ready and if this would be a good idea for us? We have tons of questions like does everyone that swing have awesome bodies? We are both attractive but I have had two kids and am very embarrassed about my stretch marks and my husband and I have always been modest with nudity. Overall we are both very interested and excited to do this we just want to make sure it is the right decision for us. I would love some advice, experience stories etc from experienced swingers. I'd love to hear how it has helped your relationship and if there have been any bumps in the road?!
       
      Thanks and I am so glad I found this board!!!.

      So my wife and I have been dirty talking a MMF 3way for a bit now. She desperately wants to be penetrated while she gives oral, but she strongly thinks that as a married couple it should only be us.  She can't help but twerk her ass when she's on her knees sucking me and we both get super turned on when talking about another guy sharing her. I've talked her into getting a thrusting dildo and seeing how that goes. Any tips on how to get it to go further? I'd love to share my wife with another man and eventually experiment with other aspects of swinging.

      Hi everyone. Semi-Newbie couple here, however been reading this site for a year now. Thought I would ask some advice if possible. Kind of a new couple at swinging, (limited experience, a few full swaps, couples only, etc) and have plans made for this weekend with another couple. Here is the issue. Not sure if we want to play with them or not. We have made and paid for reservations, etc. (rather expensive ones at that) and been talking with this couple a lot. Everything seems to click right now, but for some reason, I (the Mr.) and not feeling too much towards the other (the other Mrs.) but everyone else is. We are meeting for dinner first, but we got a big two room suite and I know after a few drinks anything is bound to happen. My question is, should I even attempt to go when I already have a preconceived bad feeling about this one? or maybe go and tell them at dinner we can do things with our own partners or what? Any advice would be great. I hate to just up an cancel at the last minute because so many plans have been made, but I really don't want to end up taking one for the team. I am sure however my wife would have a great time and I do like the other Mr. personality, (which is rare, as we usually end up with pushy couples) but I am just not feeling it. The closer it gets the more I learn about her, the worse it gets. Anyone ran into this before? Thanks for reading my long question...
