So, yes, I shut down the site, rather entirely, for almost three weeks. Newer readers probably didn’t notice because the site was cycling through some of our old content, but there was certainly no NEW content being posted. It’s not that I was out of content, mind you, it’s that I was out of enthusiasm. You see, when I began Swingset it was intended to function not only as an educational resource for swingers, but a home to my personal swinging blog. A way I could write about the experiences and questions I’m having; a way I could get these thoughts out into the world. It WAS that for a time as well.

With all of the lifestyle parties, social gatherings, monthly girls wine parties and the like, my husband and I occasionally ask ourselves, do we have any normal friends left? Should we seek out more vanilla friends for some sense of balance, or should we just enjoy that we are fully integrated into the lifestyle community and relish the friends that we’ve made here over the years?
As I think about the person that I’ve been, the person that I am, and…
Since joining the Lifestyle, I’ve had many experiences that seemed dream-like, almost hallucinatory, because they came at me from outside of the vanilla frame of reference I lived within for most of my life – that having anything other than a two-person, monogamous relationship is unthinkable.
It seems as though I have been inundated with exposure to all things female orgasm lately: personal conversations, news articles, books, research, podcasts. . . I have gleaned a number of titillating and novel insights from these various sources, but f…
Even though our first experience at a swing club was less than stellar, a little…
When I entered the Lifestyle I assumed that most of my encounters would be with single men. I thought I might find guys who would be fun friends with benefits without taking on the obligations of a more conventional relationship.
