The Orgy Myth - This Ain’t Your Daddy’s Lifestyle

Well in the spirit of the controversy Swingtown has raised over at CBS, I thought today would be a good time to address one of the largest misconceptions regarding the Lifestyle.  While at first the misconception you may think I am speaking of is that all swingers have shag carpet in their houses and the men all have long mustaches, but I am going to leave that rumor alone and address the Orgy Myth associated with the Lifestyle.

As Mrs. Gentlenibbles and myself are thirty four and thirty three respectively, we were not around when the Lifestyle exploded back in the late Sixties and early Seventies.  We can only guess that yes, orgies may have been more common back then, but I am not sure that was as much a Lifestyle thing, but more a combination of the Lifestyle existing in the era of “free love”.

New Swingers, Parking Lots, and Butterflies

It has often been said that for new swingers, the toughest part of the journey is getting themselves from the parking lot to the front door of a swingers club. There have been many a couple who made it to the parking lot of the club with every intention of starting their Lifestyle journey, only to eventually talk themselves out of it and drive home disappointed.

The reason this can be such a tough spot for new swingers is because this act is often the pinpoint for when a couple goes from “Vanilla” to “Swinger”. This situation is also often associated with doubts, confusion, and a healthy dose of fear of the unknown at what lays on the other side of that pretty “green” door. I would venture to guess for every ten Lifestyler’s in the world, there is at least one or two couples that never made it past the parking lot. Read more

Nothing Gets Better at Two In the Morning

Today’s post is a little bit of a rant, complaint, or at the very least a sanity check.  Mrs Gentlenibbles and I are just confused on why so many members of the Lifestyle don’t get down to, in the words of Borat, “sexy time” before two in the morning or later when going to the club.

Since we first entered in the Lifestyle we have been amazed by the fact that not many couples leave the club before one thirty or two AM when they are about to close.  In the vanilla world this makes perfect sense because the club is where the action is, but in the swinging world the club is nothing but the appetizer.  Kind of like going out for dinner before going to the movie, the movie is the main event!
