We used to be here all the time, but took a long break. Now we are back and excitedly planning our "reentry" into swinging. First and foremost, we want to reconnect with old friends, but - of course - we are always looking for new ones. So we have dusted off our Swing Lifestyle ad, clicked around the threads here, discussed our fantasies again and rediscussed our experiences, good and bad... Of course, in our excitement, I made the statement, "this is going to be easy!" HA! Now reality is setting in. The things I have reminded myself of while sweeping off the swinging cobwebs: 1. Finding couples where both husband and wife are attractive is kind of difficult. Ad after ad of cute woman and "not as well kept" husband. And - the rare vice versa... 2. As much as we like the idea of single men for Mrs Spoo, there are reasons why we stopped looking... Dammit... 3. The phrase "we are attractive" means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. 4. It is possible to take swinging so seriously that all of the fun gets sucked out of it - and the first way to do that is to write a stand-off-ish profile with a list of "expectations" a mile long. We all have our strike zones, but come on... 5. Couple profiles with only the picture of the wife feels like you are going to be stepping in a big puddle of awkward the minute you find out the reason for the "no hubby pic" is immediately evident when they finally send you one. I am sure that I will come up with more as the days go by. What about you? Ever take a break only to come back and think "Oh.. I didn't miss this part..."? What other reminders will be heading our way?
