Recently, I had a doubt. It was a subtle thing that played nearly silently in my mind but over time the doubt became troubling. It had to do with the fear of inequality in swinging. Part of opening up a relationship means lots of discussions that for us are sometimes overly analytical and other times purely emotional. I was surprised to find out we weren’t exactly equal in what we wanted. The initial plan was to stick together during the entire swinging experience but over time we realized that would be impractical. Kids and work schedule were getting in the…

Technogeisha is a sex positive kinkster with an insatiable curiosity. She and her husband spent lots of time hanging with the LA fetish crowd but never truly opened up. That all changed after finding Life on the Swingset. No longer content to be a virtual voyeur, she is actively pursuing the life non-monogamous. Having a passion for research (that apparently borders on fetish) has led her to mine the internet and devour books for information about all aspects of open relationships and sexuality. It’s wonderful to be invited to share that passion with all of you. Technogeisha not only writes but works behind the scenes on the Swingset.
Recently two Long Beach, CA girls decided they needed to meet after school to fight. A couple of hours later one of the girls was rushed to the hospital and later succumbed to unknown injuries. What struck me about this story was the fact that this girl died just weeks before her 11th birthday and that they met to fight over a boy. I was trying to wrap my head around the concept that two fifth grade girls felt they had to meet in an alley to throw down over a guy like guests on episode of The Jerry Springer…
Monday heralded the long-awaited arrival of my Bad Dragon Tentacle Dildo. I was surprised how much I was looking forward to this toy. I never imagined when we originally found Bad Dragon as a link from another site that we would eventually own one. We weren’t sold on the idea right away. I remember glancing over at Ronin’s laptop when I heard him chortling over a website. There was some sort of cartoon dragon lounging across the screen. In my response to “What’s that?” he turned so I could see that the dragon was sporting quite a package. We spent the next…
“Morality is doing what is right, regardless of what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, regardless of what is right.” There has been a lot of talk lately about the level of insanity brought about by the coming election versus open sexuality. It became a hot topic amongst the Swingset this week. I felt compelled to write about the current state of things and maybe provide a little bit of historical perspective. For a moment lets not look at how we seem to be regressing, lets appreciate how much we’ve progressed. 50 years ago it would…
I’ve learned so much here on Life on the Swingset and other resources. I decided recently it would be nice to add another dimension to that learning with some open relationship education. I’m looking into real-time education with real-time interaction from seminars, workshops and conventions. I’d like to combine learning with social interaction. It’s nice to converse with other people interested in subjects I can’t really bring up in my current social circle. I’m hoping this year to attend more events, meet more new people and continue to learn. Conferences, classes and seminars are great if you are new to…
