The Importance of Respecting Personal Rules
Just because a couple decide that swinging is a lifestyle they enjoy, doesn’t mean that they’re necessarily free to do as they please. In fact, most couples have very clear rules that the need to follow in order to be able to swing without any jealousy or upset being brought into the relationship.
The majority of swinging couples tend to agree that they can have sex with others only when both are present or when one has given the other permission to go ahead. In other words, just going out and having a bunk-up with some stranger isn’t part of the agreement.
Some couples also have taboo areas that mustn’t be crossed. We have friends who don’t engage in oral sex because they feel that’s just too intimate. We also have a female friend who never kisses, again because she feels that kissing is part of a bonding process, something she isn’t interested in feeling as part of a no-strings relationship.
As swingers, it’s important that we recognise and respect others’ rules and never put any pressure on anybody to cross the lines. If a couple have agreed that sex can only take place when they’re both present, don’t try to as much as touch one of them sexually without the other being present.
What may seem like a silly rule to you is obviously something that means a great deal to the couple or individual concerned. Treat them how you’d want to be treated yourself – with respect.
