Sorry for the long delay in posting, but life is hectic around this holiday season. And for those new to the forum or just wondering what the hell is taking this guy so long... as a couple we are set to officially enter the lifestyle in the new year. That was the plan in our earliest conversations as a couple and we are sticking to it.
COMING SOON
There is another direct post I will do marked, "First step as a Newbie Couple." A little insight I have on the whole subject and has worked well for us. Thought I would share.
SO OUR ADVENTURE CONTINUES…
We planned a simple getaway. Dinner, Movie and Sex. Just us, nobody else. Had a straight conversation during dinner, during sex and got right to the point. My wife was is familiar with the lifestyle (see previous posts) and I knew that this might come up again in our relationship. Only was a matter of time. Question is why now? The point, boredom. Asked her straight up, "Are you bored?" "Yes... but I didn't want to hurt your feelings." She wasn't, because I was too. I believe I entered the lifestyle the moment I posted my profile on AFF as a single man. That is my opinion, but I went there knowing exactly where I was and what the site promoted. She and I became the lucky ones, a success story from AFF.
That's great... but we left it all behind us. Since then, she has insulated me from all the things she has done and also from the things she wanted to do. She gave it up for me and here we are, bored. Not a bad thing, but I had to tell her that I was waiting for this to surface. I was/am a sexually deprived man, who through his own fault stayed that way. Now that we are married sex is common place, but I too looked forward to more. It wasn't the first time I asked her if she wanted more. It was my way of asking her if she was bored. Now we know, now we see and now we are embarking on an adventure together.
As for our status, we are still newbies (as a couple) and during this time since last I posted, we have established some great contacts in and around the lifestyle. I actually started my campaign searching for men. Weird, but that is what my wife wanted. I would eventually be the one to shoot them down anyway... so why not be the one to "interview" them? Made my wife happy doing that. Fact is she was somewhat surprised how motivated I have become with the subject. This isn't because I was getting what I wanted as a male, but what she wanted as my lover and my wife. The idea of her surrounded by men (and me) is an erotic thought. That alone is motivating me and our discussions recently have cemented our desires. She has a fantasy to play out and as a result we are swingers.
So, during this exploration into the lifestyle, I have found that telling someone that you ARE NOT playing until such and such date, weeds out the ones you don't need to know. Yes, there are the few out there looking to get laid right away. And then you get the people that truly want to get to know you. Made some real friends and find the ones that have patience.
Our motto is, "We might not be compatible, but get to know us. We are here to make friends in the lifestyle first and foremost... plain and simple. Let the fun begin!"
I believe at this point we have a secure relationship with 2 gentlemen, who could potentially fulfill my wife's fantasy. Good job, hubby! Now what? Moving on to myself? Sure, I have always continued my search, but in a way that surprises even me. I have been tapping the shoulders of couples that meet our criteria. Seems fair, just have to find the right one. Through this whole process I have included my wife in all portions of the process. We can't be together all the time, but through IM, e-mail and even phone conversation, we remain transparent.
So, now I finally get my contact time with a female of a new contacted couple. Talked to several women, but this time it was different. This couple just entered the lifestyle, much like ourselves and we hit it off. They had just come from a party for swingers and she was describing the event in detail to me. I admit to being somewhat flirtatious, but we were talking about sex. My wife was in the room and gave me a little love tap on the head. Ah-Hah! I had to ask...
"Does this disturb you now that I am talking to someone of the opposite sex?"
She said, "No, just being a little selfish."
Her fantasy is slowly becoming a reality and we move forward. Hit a few points of discussion, but that has proved fruitful. My brilliant idea was to go to a party or meet and greet, somewhere we can discuss this with others and network with like-minded people. She met this with the same level of reluctance, "Wait till next year, its not that far!" Thing is we were invited by this new couple, and after talking to them, accepted. So, Saturday the day after this post we will be at a swinger’s party! We have discussed not to do anything, only an event to establish contact and make new friends, but you never know. My wife who was reluctant, who has been to one before (I haven't), is all of a sudden excited in going again!
Lowdown is this... we are doing it together. A bit out of league, maybe. But, sounds like fun! Being a couple and heading out for a party is proving to be quite a positive thing. We have something to both look forward to.
Keep you up to date!
The journey continues...
OK
