Coupling

While helping me assemble the final components for Dancer’s upcoming birthday, oh man will we have a story to tell you, Galahad made this comment about yesterday’s post.

“What if you want to go to a swing club with your girlfriend, and not fuck other people?"
“Just go for the experience of going and not swap partners, you mean?”
“Well… yeah.”
“Of course! Lots of couples do that. Tambo and I used to do that all the time. Makes for a great date really, you get to hang out with lots of sex positive people, go dancing, swim naked, and have all sorts of fun new places to play.”

As I see it, there are basically three types of swinger couples.

First off would be your "dater" couples. They arrive together, they dance together, and they fuck together. The swing club is just a different venue for the two of them to be together. Perhaps they are really new to the scene and just want to check it out, or maybe there are kids at home or perhaps they just get turned on by being around lots and lots of horny people all getting naked and getting off. Either way, the only pants they are interested in getting into would be each other’s.

Next would be your “hook-up” couples. These are couples who, while staying together as a couple, are looking for another couple to fuck. They have a pool of other couples they know and trust whom they will, if the opportunity presents its’ self, play with. Or they will be on the look out to add to this pool. Normally all the leg work is done by the female of the couple while the men sort of sit back and smile that bemused “I’m going to get me some new pussy” smile. I’d say that this group makes up the majority of swingers.

And finally, there are the “splitters”. These are folks who come in together only to go their separate ways to seek their sexual fortunes. During the course of the evening they might re-connect, compare notes and then move on. I’d say that this group is the rarest. Aside from the cruiser couples, they are usually a pair of long term swingers who are very comfortable with what is going on and jealousy is really not an issue.

Keep in mind that these categories are not set in stone. They are not castes that, once you pick one, you can never be anything else. We have gone to the club, fully intent on hooking up with folks, only to find that I'm having more fun laying naked with my Tambo, curled up in a corner listening to the sounds of a hundred people all having orgasms in the next room. Other times things happen and the next thing you know you are the main course in a naked puppy pile involving 5 girls, a lawn chair, 3 milk bottles and a tuning fork.
