Its a horribly bad idea. Ive known three couples who tried the swinging thing and two were divorced within a year and the other is a marriage in name only, where they are together only until their kids are older. It seems to me that too often when people test their love, it doesn't pass the test.
My wife brought Penthouse forums to my attention just after our 2nd child was born. After much horny reading together we answered some adds in the personals in the local paper. No internet then. We met quite a few over a couple of years, at small parties. The normal swinger would only ever meet once, or rarely twice, so emotions didn't develop I imagine. Women were careful about protection. Parties seldom were more than 3 or 4 couples. It was fun, but not forfilling without that cuddling and going to sleep together after feeling. Then HIV came along and we stopped doing it. During our time swinging we never had any strain on the marriage, and for most of our 16 years together were very happy. Unfortunately an issue arose way down the track that did the trick and broke us up. Years after I look back and think it shouldn't have happened, but you can't turn back time.
I think you would have to have one hell of a lot of faith in your marriage for swinging not to create some serious challenges to a relationship. To each his own, though.
IIN my husband wants us to become swingers or have an open relationship?
