Always remember: search is your friend. While some people have had success with swinging with people they knew, it seems that most of the time this is a bad idea. The two of you MAY be ready and willing, but the best friend may not have ever thought about swinging before and this leads to a bunch of confusion on their part...hey, you only have sex with someone you at least like, right? All too often this ends up with drama and hurt feelings. Also, when something goes wrong, he knows EVERYONE in your circle of friends and family. Would you like what you do in the bedroom to get out to EVERYONE you know? Probably not. It's far safer to make friends out of other swingers than to make swingers out of friends. Also, there are THOUSANDS of swinger guys looking to join a couple (like finding a cheeseburger in McDonalds). With so many guys already looking for couples, why take the chance and damage a friendship? It's just something we don't recommend.
