Introducing Your Wife To Swinging

Many wives have never seriously considered sharing their man with another woman or being with another man. Swinging and non-monogamy is usually a foreign idea that can take a good bit of time to understand. If you want to get your wife to swing, you will want to carefully explain to her the advantages of swinging and why you are interested in swinging.

Your wife is likely going to have many reservations and worries. That is normal, so be extra understanding even if it tests your patience. Swinging is likely a very new idea to her, and you have probably already researched it a good bit so give her time and space to catch up.   You may feel that variety is the spice of life, but she might not be ready to see it that way. When it comes to activities in the bedroom, some ladies can find it rather difficult to talk about. So how do you start an open & honest discussion with your wife about non-monogamy and reasons for swinging? Here are some of the ways in you can introduce this to your wife:

Improve Communication & Trust

Every relationship can improve their communication and trust, including yours. As the saying goes, we have two ears and one mouth – so we should listen twice as much as we talk. Listen to your wife and work with her. Not just about swinging but about everything going on in your married life. The kids, work, home repairs, everything. Having solid communication will open up your opportunity to bring up things that interest you, like swinging and living a sexier lifestyle.

Fantasize with Adult Movies

Adult movies can be very helpful in bringing up the swinging topic as a non-threatening fantasy.  Choose an adult movie focused on swinging portrayed in a positive light and combines other porn themes that she enjoys.  It doesn’t even have to be porn.  Playboy TV produced a great reality TV show called Swing.  If you Google “Playboy Swing TV,” you can find free episodes online.  These hour-long episodes do a good job showing how real-life people enter the swinging lifestyle and deal with real emotions.  As you are watching these adult movies, you can ask her if she wants to roleplay a swinging scenario.  Roleplay does not mean she is or is not open to swinging.  This is just about introducing the general concept and starting the longer ongoing discussion about it.

Watch Hollywood Movies

If she doesn’t like porn, don’t worry. There are plenty of Hollywood movies, and TV shows that All you have to do is get a movie you know she will find interesting and initiate a chat about the swinging storyline. While choosing the movie, make sure the movie is honest about swinging and not a melodramatic Hollywood misrepresentation.  After the movie, you can begin explaining to her your interest in swinging and how you think it can help improve your sexual relationship.  Don’t push hard.  She will much more appreciate small steps with no pressure.  No spouse likes to feel pressured or coerced, so stay patient.

Proceed Slowly

When you are trying anything new, it should be done slowly, especially when it is something as sensitive as introducing your wife to the swinging lifestyle. The moment you introduce the topic of swinging to her, don’t expect her to begin swinging just like that.  Take things slowly. Only move as fast as the comfort level of the slowest person.  After you have introduced the idea, arrange a follow-up.  Take her out to dinner and enjoy yourselves but don’t bring up swinging.  You want to reinforce your loving relationship.  After your dinner date, you can bring up the topic again and ask about her concerns.  Focus on her feelings and questions.  Then start working together to research the options.  Swinging is not a great idea for every couple, so work together to figure out if it is a good idea for your relationship.

Swinger Books & Podcasts

There are many great swinger resources that you can use to get a taste of the swinging lifestyle before ever opening up your own relationship.  You can read a swinger book together and touch in after each chapter to share your thoughts.  You can also listen to audio podcasts by swingers sharing their real-life experiences so you can learn from them and understand the many different options in the swinging lifestyle.

No-Pressure Swinger Meet & Greets

As part of your ongoing discussion and research, you can offer to go to a swinger Meet & Greet.  These are social networking events with no onsite sexy play.  This is a good opportunity to talk with real swingers about what worked and didn’t work for them and learn from someone with swinging experience.  Swinger couples are friendly and generally like to help curious new couples. Your wife will also have the opportunity to ask questions with real swinger wives that shared the same questions and concerns she is currently feeling.

Desire Vacation Sneak Peek

Another option is to visit the Desire Resorts in Cancun.   This is an adult-only resort that caters to only couples (swinging & sexy vanilla couples).  This beachfront vacation is optional clothing, so you can wear as much or as little as you feel comfortable.  Many vanilla couples start their vacation fully clothed, and after chatting with the friendly guests, they often join them in going topless or nude.  This sensual couples-only resort is a romantic piece of paradise.  Many vanilla couples started their swinging journey by visiting Desire with no intention of becoming swingers.  It provides a no-pressure opportunity to chat with swingers and learn firsthand from their experiences.  Sometimes the best person to explain the swinging world to your wife is another wife, which can easily happen at Desire Resort.

Acceptance

After all of this, your wife may not be currently ready to start swinging.  Relax!!!  If you overreact, you are going to kill your chances of this ever happening.  Continue to be understanding and supportive.  It is widespread for some wives & husbands to take over a year before they finally feel comfortable swinging.  Our swinger survey found almost 1/3 of swingers spent two or more years thinking about it before having their first experience. Continue to love and support your amazing wife.  The more secure she feels in your relationship, the easier it will be for her to open her mind to non-monogamy and the swinging lifestyle.  Remember, you can never be too patient when it comes to your wife.

PS Don’t think it is only the wife that needs convincing.  They are often the first to discover the swinging concept, and they need to introduce their husbands to swinging. Each couple is unique.  Just focus on loving and supporting your special someone in the way they most need it.
