We started swinging over 30 years ago. We had been married for 17 years and had become bored with each other in bed. We made love less and less often and when we did it was routine, repetitive and unsatisfactory. We had both had a couple of extra-marital affairs. When we found out about our cheating we sat down and had a long discussion about swinging, or as it was called in those days wife-swapping. We agreed that we both wanted and needed some variety in our sex lives. We decided that it would be better for both of us if we obtained this variety together in an open and above board fashion rather than running around in secret behind our backs. So we decided to explore the swinging lifestyle. It was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Over the years we have enjoyed sex with many other partners. Our sexual boundaries have expanded in many ways, for example we have both discovered the pleasures to be derived from bisexuality and group sex. We have become very good and close friends with the couples with whom we play on a regular basis, either one-on-one or in a group setting. Our own sex life is stronger and more satisfying and we continue to enjoy a very good marriage with the added benefit of a liberated lifestyle. For a number of years we have also enjoyed an open marriage. While we swing together with other couples and singles, both men and women, most of the time we do play alone sometimes either one-on-one or in threesomes. When we play singly we have a couple of rules which we always follow. We are open and honest with each other up-front and afterwards we describe to each other what transpired.

This whole thread and its premise, that a man lets (allows) his wife to do something-or-other, still turns my crank. Are women really not allowed to do something without a man's permission?
