Swinging does bring open couples together as they become to know each other as free persons fiercely independent but, yet bound by love and conjugal bonds.
True-if your relationship has a strong emotional bond from the start, there is one specific side effect that the swinging lifestyle has or is likely to have on your relationship, and that is that you will talk more about what is important to each other - and not only about the sex part!
Discovering things about your partner that you didn't know already can help strengthen the bond between you, and especially if those things are sexual.
Sexual preferences are not easy to talk about for most people, but the single most important pre requisite for a successful swinging experience is to discuss boundaries before you take the plunge. Rushing into something head first can have dire consequences, which is another reason why clubs are running beginners nights. It helps them and it helps you by finding out what your relationship is really like before you do something that everybody will regret.
What you will find in the swinging scene is that a great deal of people have a preference for a particular way to swing ( lets say a foursome) and they can very well have a very strong sense that other ways of swinging are morally wrong.
What that means is that they have found the swinging style they are comfortable with and that other styles are not something they will do. Defining these borders is critical for a beginner or newbie
swinger, and it isn't easy to do without trying it.
I think your relationship is worth it - don't you?
