Does swinging affect your marriage?

July 30 2014

I’d heard that this lifestyle can affect in a negative way the sex life that you once shared with your spouse, how meeting and having sex with other couples is very new and exciting. Whereas sex with your spouse does not meet those same expectations anymore. There’s an age old saying, ‘it’s not better, it’s different” is it, really? I’d be interested to hear from others where this lifestyle has impacted the relationship with their spouse and what they did to fix things, ie. get the spice back.

    Swinging has been an exciting and fun addition to our marriage. Sex with John will always be better because we love each other. Sometimes though just being able to fuck someone you find sexy, without guilt, is what we need. Swinging definitely keeps things sexy and a lot of the thrill is getting ready for a fun night. Anticipation! Love it! Swinging also gives me the opportunity to satisfy my bisexuality which is very important to me. Would our marriage be less strong without swinging? In our case no. Swinging was never something we pursued to try and fix a problem. In fact it was something we had been involved for a couple of years before we married.

    No negatives have come out of us swinging at all. We enjoy all aspects of the lifestyle, the meet n greets, the flirting, touching somebody new, and of course the intimate part of it is what we both enjoy. We always enjoy our sexlife with each other, and never expect to outdo our own play to what we have experienced with others. If swinging affects anyone's marriage... They shouldn't be doing it..

    It has made our sex life more exciting and more hot. We have been on the scene so to speak for 8 years and although there can sometimes be some bumps, we found they were right at the start where we were feeling our way and trying to decide what we were and were not comfortable with. I think If you have trust, there should never be issues that are detrimental to your marriage. We also find we appreciate each other more now that we have had experience with others....no one compares to the person you are in love with. Just my experience though.

    I'm probably completely unqualified to comment here, but I have been married and my first wife was 'Bi' and I did find myself lucky enough to be in at least a few threesomes with a couple of ladies she had met and brought home... That's a little different from 'swinging' as such... Of Course... I have always been a pretty passionate and emotionally attached to the ladies I've been either married to (only two, one of which passed) or in serious relationship with. I willingly took part in the threesomes with my wife because, for whatever reason, I wasn't 'threatened' or 'jealous' I suppose, of the other girl... There's no 'thereat' there. I never felt I needed to compete or would worry if I was able to bring what I needed to the table, ALONE. (I figure that difference is common). But I think, then at least, I would have been upset that my wife needed another man to be satisfied, even if that's not what it's all about. Of course, I'm older and wiser, but I know what I was and who I was then and I know I would have felt I was being compared and all the other horrible "GREEN" things that pop in your mind and won't go away (regardless how much reassuring is done). NOW? I dunno, but I know from when I was married, (21 years in total...), I would have been upset and not been able to deal with her need for another man, back then. For what that's worth... I hope my experience would help me to see it for what it was, but I have no current feelings for anyone to compare any example with at this time...

    We've been in the lifestyle since 2008, on and off. Swinging for us is about a shared experience in a trusted and respectful way. We have built beautiful friendships and had nights and weekends of dabauchery that will keep us smiling in the nursing home. We don't 'need' it to keep our marriage strong; it's something we can do BECAUSE our marriage is strong. It keeps our communication in tip top shape, too. And that is a happy thing. In my view, the lifestyle shouldn't be entered into to 'fix' a partnership. Just my thoughts, (Mrs) - Posted from rhpmobile

    Swinging improved things.... New people meant a few "tricks" we had never thought of for starters. Added new things to the sex itself which is obviously great. we were also each other's firsts sexually so it also took away that "I wonder" factor. Plus mrs Madmanx is bi so it was the best way for her to have that desire fulfilled. Has been win win for us..... The biggest impact on our sexlife is the serious lack of time! Kids, business, work, money, school, kids activities...... Etc etc....

    The only people that seem to have issues are people with jealousy issues or people with deep set relationship issues. Naturally, this could have a serious negative impact on your marriage. But for us, it's been a blast

    Not for Egoic types or Love Addicts. Complexities can occur.

    no. not a bit. if anything it enhances what we already have and share. but then so does motorcycling.

    I wish my husband had been brave enough to say he needed more! My fault I suppose for coming across as a 'good girl' We're now separated and living on opposite sides of the country. He recently admitted to his need to have unattached fun and introduced me to a world I didn't even know existed. I love the freedom of an unattached fuck, I discovered things about me I didn't even know! Sad that we're now doing the online thing but at least the communication is back and I think he's liking the new me!

    Swinging has only enhanced our sex lives and we love it. We've been together for 20+ years and only recently experimented. Made us realise that the grass, while fun to play in, is definitely not greener on the other side. Making love together is different to our play time. Kinda like getting a tattoo. If you have any doubt, DON'T DO IT! It's always gonna be there.
