I’ve been swinging on and off for years as a single guy. Just over a year ago I met a woman who’s kinky and pretty open minded and into trying BDSM. I hoped that I could draw her into swinging but she’s very reticent about getting started despite her wanting us both to try some bi fun. My best efforts in making her feel secure in our relationship don’t seem to be working as she still struggles with taking that first step. I’m finding it frustrating because I’m missing the lifestyle but don’t want to ruin what we have now.

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.

Flirting! It’s like a gateway drug, and that gateway sometimes leads to all manner of sexual exploits. Tonight we discuss the importance and value of flirting and how it has helped shape the panel’s sexual lives, as well as how Ginger & Shira flirted their way onto the show. And speaking of that, this is Ginger’s anniversary episode, as she’s been swinging on the Swingset with us for a full year now. All this, Cooper has sexy house guests, Dylan almost picks up a woman at a buffet line at a bowling alley, dead flies, bottles of wine, and more on Life on the Swingset: The Podcast.

There’s a strange urban legend that seems to have popped up as of late, that white rocks in a house’s front yard means the inhabitants of that house are swingers. The swinging community at large isn’t sure where this rumor came from, but many say they’ve heard this themselves, and some have placed white rocks in their front yards to reaffirm their “secret code swinger status.”
