The "Lifestyle" from a wife/mother perspective....

A little background on me before we start this. I am a full time wife, full time mom, full time self employed business owner. I keep house, I cook and I love life to the fullest. I am the everyday woman. I am your friend, I am your neighbor, I am your daughter, I would never be known for who I really was outside my "lifestyle" friends.

Everyone has heard of threesomes and one night stands. Everyone enjoys fantasizing about them but who really does them? I know in my life I have thought about threesomes. Never thought about the girl girl guy combo but always the two guys on one girl one of course. What woman hasn't? Now girls do not lie to yourself. You can sit there and say it but you know, YOU KNOW you have thought about it. What woman would not want 2 or 3 or 4 men wanting nothing at the moment but her. Touching and caressing her all at the same time. Don't lie to yourself. It makes you hot and bothered you know it.
I myself am the steriotypical straight girl. I am girly and I am happily married to my husband of 7 years. I never thought of myself as someone who would ever experiment with girls or others guys for that matter. In my heart I know I love my husband and never had a want or yearn for another person in my life. Why would I? That is something you just DO NOT DO! Once you are married its till death do us part. We don't lie or cheat. We love each other... F-O-R-E-V-E-R! Those who lay with others are sluts, whores, cheats etc....
Now comes a day when your husband bugs you about things such as lesbian encounters and fantasies that he has about you, the love of his life and other women. For years I just blew my husband off. I don't "do" those things. I was raised very Christian, have a strong faith still, my mother never even talked about sex with me until I was 18, I am NOT doing "that". For years I said that until one day when it came up again just about 7 years into our marriage.....

One night my husband and I sat down to watch TV. Off and on throughout our whole relationship we would enjoy watching Playboy TV. They are pretty mild versions of adult entertainment but mostly they have reality TV shows that are super entertaining. The idea of "swinging" came up on one of the shows. Now this was strange. I never really heard about the concept. Basically what it means is that happily married or committed couples get together and have fun together. This fun consists of everything from flirting, touching, kissing, oral sex to full one on one (or ten) sexual intercourse. Learning a little more I started seeing a positive side to this "lifestyle". From now on when I say the lifestyle I am referring to swinging and everyone in the community who swings. It seemed as if all the couples were really committed and in love with each other. At first glance you ask, how so? How could a man love a woman who fucks another woman? Really? He is just a nympho who wants ass versus his wife. Self centered, self-absorbed. Whatever it may be it can't be love? Or can it? The same with woman. They are all lesbians I first told myself.... Wow was I wrong.
We continued to look a little more into the lifestyle. We would watch a specific program on the TV called Swing. They made it look so easy. They spoke about the lifestyle with experienced couples and brought inexperienced couples in the mix so that they could spice up their sex life and explore each other through these encounters. As I watched we would talk about this together. Building up to starting this lifestyle change we really worked on our communication with each other. In the past we have been commended on how great we are together. How well we get along, communication etc.... But this, this was a whole new ballgame. We were not just communicating but we were fantasizing, debating, and pushing the limits with each other to see how far we could go.
