Swinging and Life Lessons...

Today, Austin and I reflected on some things about our relationship and our swinging. A few years ago, I would never believe that I would have a swinging blog. In fact, having sex with multiple people was a deep fantasy that I had difficulty admitting to myself. And yet, here we are...developing intimate friendships with others, getting to know the smells, tastes, and feels of others.

We have learned that our relationship is always changing. Sometimes you want to be with couples, sometimes you want an MFM, and sometimes your crave a FMF. But, whatever the combination, you always crave each other.

We have learned that we have insecurities...about ourselves, about our lifestyle, about our world. We are not perfect, but find a way to have those difficult conversations, to expose our fears, and use the times of insecurity as "forced growth."

We have learned what we value in others is what we value in our relationship...trust, honesty, communication, and respect.

We have learned that sometimes, without thinking, we hurt others and they can do the same to us. How do you tell someone that you are not attracted to them? How do you hear that someone is not attracted to you? These are the questions that can make or break your swinging experience.

We have learned that there is ok sex, good sex, phenomenol sex, and OMG sex! We only duplicate our experiences with those that we really have phenomenol sex with.

And finally, we have learned that we truly do love, like, and respect each other.
