How did we get to this point? How did we get to the stage where my wife is on her knees servicing a line of different guys while I'm enjoying two different women without a care in the world? Not too long ago, we were both so frighteningly vanilla.
It all started out as a bit of innocent flirting between neighbors, the slightly lingering hug, the bending over to pick something up that wasn't quite necessary. Just the normal sort of stuff that sometimes happens between neighbors.
But then things started to take a slight detour, it stopped being flirting and became an invitation, and from there things just spiraled, and we were introduced to our neighbor's world.
You see our neighbors didn't just want to introduce us into their sex life, oh no, they wanted to introduce us to their sex life, the entire community of people that made it up.
Our neighbors are swingers, and now so are we! And what a journey it has been
Given the title: Learning To Swing: A couple's journey into the world of partner swapping by Blake Barkley, the book is mostly a how to step by step guide for wannabe swingers. Rather than being just a teaching aid there is a happily married couple, with neighbors to provide defiantly hands on guidance Then a major finale, being a most elaborate induction into a most exclusive and adventurous swingers club. Explicit sex.
The author has taken the time to allow us to know neophyte swingers and to listen in as they ask themselves and each other the kinds of questions any couple might want to work through should they take up this adventure. The result is a reasonable balance of pre swinger angst, and hot progressively more advanced sex.
