Differing opinions

December 02 2015

Although we've had our share of difficulties through the years, we are very close & have a very active sex life that goes a little beyond what might be considered 'traditional' - though it is solely the two of us. I've recently brought up the subject that I'm interested to find out more about this scene & to *perhaps* build up to taking part in it in some way. Fortunately, we are able to talk about these things quite openly. Mrs WwWw has very many reservations & is less inclined to do so. I've tried not to walk a careful path of expressing my desires vs. not pushing too hard. I'm certainly not wanting to cajole, manipulate or otherwise drag her into anything unwillingly - that is exactly what I don't want to do. I've suggested she might want to read up on the subject as, like I did, she has a number of preconceptions that are probably not true. I've explained that I'm nervous as well & am unsure how I will feel if fantasy progresses toward reality. I've suggested we might go to one of the clubs, just to see what happens, not to get involved at all. I've suggested we see how we feel if we are simply naked & active in the same room as others. Only if we're both comfortable would we then consider pursuing a threesome or joining another couple. If we do ever embark upon something with anyone else involved, we'd start very slow and carefully agree beforehand exactly what the ground rules are & to see if we are still happy to move forward to another occasion. She's wavered a little in saying whether she's interested in the idea or not. Her main worries are - bluntly - that this is simply a means by which I get to screw other women, plus, she's not interested by the idea of screwing other men. Her words, not mine. I've explained that I only want to do things with her & that involve her. It's not about screwing around, but with embarking upon something with her that both excites and challenges each of us. I've explained that I've no desire to do anything where she isn't present there with me. However, I fear that she simply may not want to go down this path. I'm of a mind now to drop the subject, let her mull it over for a few weeks & see if she raises the topic herself. If not, I'll carefully enquire as to whether her view has changed at all. I don't want to fuck things up, but I do want her to at least take some small steps toward this with me - if only to read about it. Is there anything else I can do to allay her fears & plant a seed of interest ? As an aside, I'm a little unsure at to what has prompted this desire within me, nevertheless, it's there. Thanks. (Oh, before anyone questions, she does know about this couple's account!)

    It sounds, by what you have written, that she is not interested . You have planted the seed (in her mind) already, by mentioning it. You now need to step back and not mention it again. If she is interested then wait to bring it up again. Be patient and don't push. Not sure that your "couples" profile is really valid, nor a good idea, as clearly she is not interested in pursuing swinging whereas you are. This can only lead to problems in your marriage if you are not both 100% on the same page and committed to all of this. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Having had some experience , unless you have some common interest its bound to put strain on both of you. Only you know her well enough to judge if it's worth taking a chance .. You could try doing a dry run and let her know you're ready to make a move and set the wheels in motion to test the water, but need her support to make it work... Good luck, It would be nice to both go with a open mind and take things as it comes..

    ......"that this is simply a means by which I get to screw other women, plus, she's not interested by the idea of screwing other men. Her words, not mine." ......forget it, its a dumb idea that will end up being the death of your relationship. Just build your porn library and let it all go.

    Try getting to a naked beach/resort. Endeavour to keep away from wankers and set out to enjoy yourselves (ie make sure it's a great day out for her). Nudists are generally very pleasant people and there is no implication of sex at most places, especially family friendly venues. If that works out well, she'll let you know. Persuasion will only get you in trouble.

    You asked this question before and are now trying from a different angle? The answer lies with your wife and it sounds like shes already given it to you.

    I find what you say here is contradicting OP. If your Mrs knows about this couple's account, then why would she still not be interested in exploring further with you on the journey that you've described above? RHP is not a social media like Facebook or Instagram, surely your Mrs would have already read and seen the explicit side of things on here and frankly, what else could and would a couple do on a site like this if she was not interested in exploring into a threesome or couple play scene? It's not like the single people who can choose to play with another person for 1-on-1 or to play with couples for more. Hence, what's your Mrs' purpose for coming on RHP with you if she is not interested at all in other scenes? To answer your question, there is no other secret doors to unlock without your Mrs' consent and agreement on playing with other people, whether it be with another person or couple. - Posted from rhpmobile

    She loves you and is willing to consider this but has genuine doubts about her ability to cope with and/or enjoy the scene. I believe she feels insecure about watching you play with other women, and as she herself has no desire to play with other men she fails to see the benefit of swinging(unless she is bi curious). I would suggest baby steps, open discussion and exploring other ways to enhance your sex life while she builds confidence. Sex on cam, dogging, naughty chat with other couples are a few ways to tip toe into the swinging world. Or try a porn cinema, peep show or even just shopping in an adult shop late at night will get the adventurous sexy juices flowing!Some of us are naturally perverted, others need time, letting her find her place where she feels comfortable when she's ready will make it much more possible that you will achieve your fantasies.

    The reality is it will all be about her, you will take a HUGE mental and physical back step once it actually starts. If the women are in the front seat then things progress when the men are trying to lead the charge it always fails or causes pain. Is it fair? nope but lock and key, supply and demand and all that stuff. So before you think about going further are you okay with seeing her get all the attention and you are the arm candy? The reality is more often that not that is the case. When you say you are thinking threesome are you meaning MFM or FMF? cause you should focus on MFM first if you want her to feel comfortable. if she's the focus (or hey go bi and both enjoy him) but that also might help her confidence. Also start with threesomes its WAY easier to find a dynamic where you only need 1 person to click with you both vs 2 people in a relationship. Never let either partner 'take one for the team'. So think about that stuff and if you can handle the reality then focus on her. Look at adding people just for her showing off with her via Cam which is safe from your bedroom and without issues (get her a masquerade mask so she can 'perform' while still being anonymous. Good luck mate. Its a long slow road with a lot of bumps.

    You have planted the seed so now you have to give it time to see if it takes hold or not. If you constantly raise the issue (no matter the good intentions) it then becomes demanding instead of a place of mutual exploration I don't have all the answers, maybe you might want to continue having great adventurous sex together that pushes outside the vanilla envelope. Keep talking fantasies together and be open to fulfilling hers even if they are tamer than what you would like to happen. Sometimes though we don't always get to do or explore everything we want sexually with our partner. If not doing x,y or z is that important to you then you have to weigh up what things she does give in addition to the love in the relationship or do you need to move on and find someone who is more compatible. Good luck :-) W. - Posted from rhpmobile

    She has made herself clear to you OP, however you keep pushing her into a corner that she does not eish to be pushed. I agree with your wife, you make this all about you and your wishes while distespecting her and her wishes (particularly setting up a couples profile when she had made it clear to you). - Posted from rhpmobile

    ... I agree with everything previously said ... ... exposure to the concepts via the forums is a great way for her/ you to gently immerse yourselves in the idea, promote conversations ... limits .... likes/nots ... decide your current sexuality. Knowledge is a great way dispell fears ..... and grow the sexual part of the brain ..... 'caution' .... it grows amazingly fast when fed. Can I also say that with couples .... its about the journey .... together ..... so in your excitement don't be skipping too far ahead (at your peril) ..... so talking about excitement and orgasm ..... 'coffee' ..... the first long macc for the day 6.09am enjoy Ulysses ...... notes to himself ....... we all share the journey

    I have seen dozens of new couples come and try the swinging scene, most of the time you never see them again. Way to many times its a total train wreck for them. On the odd occasion it all works and you see them again and again, that is the exception to the rule. You are in for a surprise if you go. From the sounds of it your partner has has your game well worked out. I think you are are down playing your desire to screw other women, (that's what swinging is about is it not, playing in a group) Bullshitting her will not work, and I would say the truth is not going to help as well. The crazy thing is that your expectations of what it is to be a swinger and the reality are most likely on two different planes. The reality you may not be aware of is that the swinging scene is very much a place where the women rule, they have the power, they get to pick and choose. Way to many times the train wreck is the result of the man realising this. Being in the swinging scene does not mean you get to fuck who and when you want, there has to be some level of connection between people, you have to have good social skills. She will be spoilt for choice, you will be tagging along. I do hope for your sake she does not forget you in the heat of all the attention. I wish I could say there is an easy way, getting her to go is part of your problem. If you do go, making it through the first night without major emotion train crash is another. If you want to get into the scene with your wife, a wife that is tentative and suspicious of your motivation you have to completely forget about fucking anyone but her. You have to let her be free while you carry the burden of restriction. You have to carry that burden without resentment or jealousy. You have to prove your control in a completely new social environment where there will be plenty of men who know how to impress a women vying for her attention and plenty of opportunity (temptation) for you to forget your place and stuff it up.. If you can prove to her that you can control your dick and the thing its attached to then, and only if she likes it, then in time you may be able to relax, and then the two of you can play the scene and enjoy being swingers.. It has such lovely irony the, endless stories of men thinking with dicks, convincing their partners to try the swinging scene. Then both finding out the truth, where she has it is actually a liberating and empowering environment for her, its the men who pull the plug and opts out. That is all based on the average couples that I have seen go to clubs and parties over many years in the scene, everyone is different so I Hope it works out.

    Hadn't realized how old you both were. So at your age if she is so resolutely against it then you are setting yourself up for a fall. At your age if she hasn't the inclination then its not going to happen. You said...", I'm a little unsure at to what has prompted this desire within me, nevertheless, it's there."....ahhh its boredom, same old same old, the sex may be great but its on a rinse and repeat cycle. You said.."we'd start very slow and carefully agree beforehand exactly what the ground rules are & to see if we are still happy to move forward to another occasion.".......look the ground rules are basic, use condom's, if she says "no" then its a no. Don't over think it as its a waste of time. Sex with other people is no different to what you 2 would do for the most part. You are heading towards 50!, so fuck slow, it doesn't work like that. If you ever "do it" it will be completely different to your preconception's. One thing is for sure, you have to have zero jealousy issues, you need to be comfortable with watching your wife being fucked by a bull and wanting more, you have to be comfortable with "friendly fire", but it goes beyond that, you need to want it. Your wife does not want to fuck another man and she doesn't want to see you with another women, "Her main worries are - bluntly - that this is simply a means by which I get to screw other women, plus, she's not interested by the idea of screwing other men".......ahhh there is no real in-between except the weird couples that only want same partner same room sex, and she is not interested in going to a club etc. GIVE UP!.......if you persist then it will only raise suspicion and cause massive problems ie; she will think that you are fulfilling your fantasies outside of the marriage because she will not agree to it, and you will not let it go.

    Quoting 'social_suicide' Hadn't realized how old you both were. OMG they are ancient, 47 is just so old. Hang on.... I'm older than them - does that mean I can't be on this site and indulging in crazy adult things like sex? Sheesh.... like heading towards 50 - That...is...the...end...of...the...world! Let me do the maths, hmm...they are three years off 50. And what a coincidence, three years older than you. Does that mean you are also heading towards 50 My point behind all that sarcasm is that age really has little to do with it. I have met incredibly sexy couples who started their adventure in their mid-late 40s....... because their children are for all intents and purposes off their hands and they have the space, time, and maturity to create an adult life for themselves.

    You have only recently brought it up, what is the rush? Let her explore the idea in her mind, let her do some reading. Don't push it. Most of the ideas opinions (including social_suicide) are valid and relevant. It may happen, or it may not. And you have to be prepared to acquiese to whatever she decides is the right path... for her.

    .....My point behind all that sarcasm is that age really has little to do with it."........ahhhh yeah it does, if at 47 you have made your mind up then it is very very unlikely to change when it comes to this type of sexual behavior. Do you seriously think a 47 yr old woman doesn't know what she doesn't like?

    "Do you seriously think a 47 yr old woman doesn't know what she doesn't like?" I think everyone has the potential to discover new things, at any age, if they are open to it. A close friend of mine has become a bit of a deviate as a 50+ yr old, and another over 50 started swinging and became bisexual! We all have preconceived ideas and presumptions, isn't the point of the forums to seek advice? I think those of you bashing the OP are being way to harsh....he made the point that his wife is aware of the couples profile! This is their first step in exploring the idea, whether it leads anywhere is up to them.

Much like a 47 old who has never touched alcohol will most probably never drink. Its all about what is reasonable, and I think my comments are very reasonable based on the info provided, we are not having a general discussion here, its very specific.............right?

    Again, for those who have offered advice & suggestions, thank you. I confess, I was a little surprised by some of the judgemental comments on here - some do seem to be reading a lot between the lines of my one single post. Anyway, you're entitled to your views, but I am unsure why you assume so much - much of it not too kind :-) On my 'couples' account. Well, I'm one of a couple, not a single guy (?) No matter though, I'll be closing this account down shortly until (or if) both my partner & myself jointly want to proceed. Thanks again for your perspectives.

    Just because your not playing as a couple doesn't mean you need to listen to every comment and close your account. There are plenty of people on here who are one half of a couple with their other half's knowledge (myself being one with mrs araps's knowledge and okay). Being honest on your profile with your status and what you are getting one RHP helps. Again for me I'm just here for the forums and am fully up front and ethical to everyone (partner included) about that.

    I agree that your wife doesn't sound keen from what you've posted, and that the best plan is to sit back now you've planted the seed. If she changes her mind I'm sure she'll let you know. To me you sound you really care about her, and I think you did not deserve many of the judgemental comments from people who think they know all the ins and outs of your relationship by reading between the lines. Especially you, FickleFanny. Calling the OP a fu dickhead under your breath doesn't make it any less nasty in my opinion. Worse even. Maybe should have a look at your own behaviour before jumping on someone else.

    You had a range of opinions, some helpful, some judgemental. Just take on board what you is helpful. If one bit of advice helps then it has been worth it. Thing with the forums is, the person asking the question needs to be able to withstand some negative comments. People are not here just to tell you what you want to hear. But from your closing comment, it appears that your couples profile was just wishful thinking on your behalf. Jumping the gun a bit? Just firms up a lot more comments were on the money. Good luck though.

    People of that age wont change their mind? What a ridiculous statement. Look through RHP. Filled with people of that age and older who have come in with a vanilla mindset and felt like a deer in the headlights. 12 months later, attending parties and swinging like a swingset in a playground.

    Seriously????, you have done exactly what unicorn did. This is not a general discussion regarding life changes. People change their minds, no kidding, when they are open to it.....and the OP's partner is not, sooooo its highly unlikely that at 47 she is going to change her mind with regards to having sex with other people. .........." Look through RHP. Filled with people of that age and older who have come in with a vanilla mindset and felt like a deer in the headlights.".........ahhh yeah mate no argument from me on that, however you are referring to people who had been open to the idea, perhaps always wanted to explore what life has to offer, as apposed to the OP's partner who has no fucking interest at all. At 47 she has lived long enough, and had enough life experiences to know that she has no interest, nothing wrong with at all. This may come as a surprise but there are people in the world who know their own mind, and she is one of them, and that's ok.
