Reasons for Getting in The Lifestyle

In my experiences in the lifestyle both as a single and “half”
of a couple, I have learned there are many, MANY reasons
why people choose this form of sexual expression. None
are right or wrong, better or worse, but I think that educating
yourself on these reasons teaches you more about society
and helps you better communicate with open minded sexually
liberal people…

As a “single bi female”, or “elusive unicorn
of the lifestyle… where have you been all my (our) life?)
my personal reasons to swing was to gain more bi experiences,
as well as to fufill fantasies only seen in adult film. Upon
developing friendships with a few couples and single males,
expressing myself sexually was comfortable and FUN. Also
given my caring, helping nature seen both personally and
professionally I really liked the idea of “helping”
to add something to a couple’s sex life…

Now when I met my current love (who also was in the lifestyle
previously as a single) the reasons changed. Here in a new
relationship we had to communicate the why right from the
start… and for us it is for both individual and joint needs
(boy that sounds romantic, doesn’t it?). Mostly I
wish to see my partner happy as well as have experiences
enhance our private time. We have met couples experienced
and newbies alike, married and dating, new couples and
“ancient” ones, and learned something from
many of them not only between the sheets. Mostly, love,
honesty, and communication are key to this lifestyle working
for a relationship. And also that the lifestyle IS NOT FOR
EVERYONE. And that it is OK to “take breaks”
from it when other things need attention.

So to whoever has made it to the end of my little article:
if you are anticipating entering this wonderful world
of expression and fun I would advise to keep lines of communication
open, be safe, and keep educated! Sounds like a lot of thought,
huh…. but also RELAX, and ENJOY!
