What is your opinion on Swinging (Group sex)?

Swinging and group sex are not synonomus. Swinging involves commited partners (often married) swaping and having sex with another set of commited partners.
Group sex, simply means having sex with other people having sex around you. Often times, swinging does happen in a group sex enviroment.

That said, I am not opposed to either swinging or group sex.

if you feel youd like to try it honey go for it.. me and my ex gf tried it once and loved it just the relationship broke down but not cause of that..

If not for the std dangers, I would absolutely be all for both of these. As long as everyone felt secure in their relationships, it could be so much fun. My s/o, OTOH, would be dead-set against anything other than one-on-one, so my chances are slim to none on this front ... :-(

I love being a swinger and being shared with other men and women.

I love swinging and group sex!

What happens in other people's bedrooms (or where ever) is none of anyone's affair except those there at the time and their partner's. This stands firm in my mind with the exception of having children around this lifestyle.

My exception here comes as a result of seeing my sister and her ex-husband having lived this lifestyle openly in front of their children. She had a "regular boyfriend" who participated in family activities, etc. as much as her husband did. All the adults involved had many partners of both sexes in and out of the house at least once a day, often more than that. Their daughters ended up pretty messed up as a result of this. My sister is pretty messed up anyway. Her ex is an ex for a reason, as well.

Group sex can be phenomenal! Make sure you're comfortable with your body and make sure everyone involved is aware of any boundaries ahead-of-time.

Its funny about most people don't even realized this stuff really goes on. I always thought it was something Hollywood made up but to my surprise its real. I have been in the lifestyle with my husband for five years and it surprise me who does it like doctors, mayors, down to the newspaper delivery guy.
There are some misunderstanding about the lifestyle. Some people think its all about sex but its not. Swinging its about building relationships with other adults but also building a deeper relationship with your mate. I think its amazing that someones love is so secure and deep that they are able go and share that with another couple. Sadly there are people that swing to fix their marriage or fill a void in their life and I not saying that it never fixes the problem but I have seen many relationship shattered. A couple with go and find a boyfriend and the next thing the husband is sitting home with nothing to do and the wife is out with the boyfriend or a husband pushes the wife into swinging and the wife regrets doing it and holds it against the husband. Another think people don't understand is there are different types of swingers. Someone couples look for exclusive couple where they only play with that couple or there are the ones where the go meet the couple and then they go sex and there are people who are more just open minded where they like going to swingers club but they only have sex with spouse.

People also don't understand swingers clubs. I have talked to people and they tell me they think swingers clubs are horrible because all its is a big orgy with a bunch of people. They can't believe how nasty its. Well I can't say that never goes on but the ones I have been to are not like that. The clubs are more like going to a night club but with open minded people who like to have sex. Some clubs have rooms where you can go back and have fun with other consenting adult or with just your mate. There are many people that go that don't have sex with anyone they just like going for the conversation with open minded people. I feel its more safe going there than going to a local bar. I have never had any problems at a swingers club but going to a bar I can't tell you how many time I have been grab or gotten unwanted attention.

Recently I have been thinking this lifestyle isn't for me. I see doctors and other people having random sex with no protection and not practicing good hygiene. Which concerns me because of spreading disease to the public and to family members. My other issue is people not being honest about sexual transmitted diseases. I not picking on doctors but I kind feel they should know better and that they should be more careful due to they could spread to patients.

I guess my opinion is before people get into these type of activities they really need to sit down with their mate and weigh out the pros and cons. I feel swinging has help me build a stronger relationship with my spouse and gave more self esteem.

SO MUCH FUN.

I'm all for either as long as everyone involved consents to all activities.

That said, if you are married, you need to discuss this extensively with your spouse before you do it. If you intend to stay married, you need to be ABSOLUTELY certain that you can both handle watching your mate with other people.

My personal experience is that I can separate sex from love. I love my wife completely, but nothing turns me on more than watching her have sex with someone else! She does not feel the same way about me. She is EXTREMELY jealous of any woman coming within arms reach of me. That has all but halted our extra-curricular activity, since I find it unfair for her to get to partake in multiple partners while I can only watch.

At any rate, careful consideration is a must.
