Swingers Experience: Swinger Gallery

Swinger Gallery

Many new swingers try "soft swinging" first, often times, without even intending on becoming swingers. A little alcohol between close, attractive friends is sometimes all it takes to spontaneously spark the swinging bug. "Soft Swinging" can include flirting with someone other than your partner, but only have sex with your partner. "Hard Swinging" comes into play when "sex partners" are exchanged or shared.

Swinging is supposed to be fun, you never want to settle for or have to "cope" with any action before, during or after a swinging encounter. It's NEVER ever too late to say "NO" Should you start to feel uncomfortable even during an encounter, STOP IT!!! If others do not understand your choice, that simply validates that you made the correct decision.

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein published in 1961, won the 1962 Hugo Award

This was the first book I ever read that had swingers in it. Well, it wasn't called swinging, but the orgies and communal living certainly inspired the generation who decided to throw off the shackles of conventional sexuality. It is considered to be the most socially influential book ever written by Robert Heinlein.

The main character, Valentine Michael Smith was the child of the first Mars expedition. The crew died on Mars and he was raised by Martians. When he returns to Earth in his twenties, he is human in appearance, but culturally an alien. His otherworldly views and experiences take a hard look at human behavior. It asks why do we do the things we do and should we continue in the same way. Politics, religion, sexuality, marriage are all examined through alien eyes. The book actually spawned a pagan church.

It made me think about what I do and why I do it. When I read it, I was still in a very narrow minded church. Though I continued in the religion another 15 years, it did change how I looked at religion. I decided that religion was like being made into a bonsai tree. My essential nature could not be changed. A maple is a maple is a maple. What I hoped was that the strictures and limitations of my church could be used to concentrate and distill my essence into something beautiful.
