I was never too worried about “sex disease” however, I don’t think of myself as immortal. Unfortunately my “partner” caught a case of them herpes from some partner because she let her guard down too much. She had unprotected sex with a guy who was notorious for screwing everything and anything without protection. His bad, her weakness. Personally I have not been with her for some many months now, but not because of the fear, actually it’s of all things, the cost of gas. My swinging has dropped to a nothing due to distance from my partner, my depression and of course, gas prices. Depression? That’s the way things are because my wife died, not of a sex disease or a car accident but because of a silly thing like cancer. You can protect against a “sex disease”, but what of cancer? She did not smoke, was more of a vegetarian, she was always active but she gets cancer. Why does the wheel turn that way? So you took a chance with sex and you came away with a buggy? So what. Are you a life lesson to us all? Yes, but it is what we want to do. We take the warning and fight the best fight. Is sex the end of it all? For a moment it is Eden, but even Eden has a snake. Should we stop? Why? Just be careful and enjoy. The next few breaths you take will never be lived again. Enjoy sex, life, a book, a movie, a story – all of the things around you. They are there for you and me.
Hey I like the lifestyle, would do more but time and distance are my enemies. I like my partner, she introduced me to the style, but I won’t abandon her. She is my almost “next best friend”. My wife when she was alive and even now is and always will be my best friend. Although I did not swing with my wife, in fact I would never have thought of it, she was many lovers as she was one. But now she is gone and I move on.
Will I reject my partner? No. She is a friend of mine. Have protected sex, yes you should always practice it. Live a good life, love what you want and take a tumble with something exciting. Why not?
