We talked quite a bit about getting into swinging. Finally, we went to a "seminar" for beginners in Florida at a swing club that actually helped newbies feel comfortable about getting into the lifestyle. The first experience for both of us was really great. Remarkably, it was separate rooms, and that was as it should be, although I doubt that would work for everybody. Then a couple of days later, we did a 4-some, and that worked out very well. No jealousy, no uncertainty, no regrets. It was all fun from there on for many years.
