Who are swingers?

I had dived straight in at the deep end and swum by the light of my nature.Many swingers never attend parties but meet others only at one another’s homes. Others prefer to meet at ‘munches’, or swingers’ socials in public venues such as pubs where no playing is permitted, and where they identify one another by means of fishnet stockings or some other code signal and, if they like one another, arrange to meet elsewhere at a later date. Chameleon’s, like most British swingers’ clubs, is relatively hardcore. This is not to say that there were not many people there who kept their towels on all night and merely enjoyed the view and the company, just that those who do decide to play, as we had, abandon all inhibitions without fear. 

It was very notable, however, that even in such an environment, it was with people whom we had met, conversed with and fancied that we ended up playing.

Occasionally we involved others playing nearby, but this was briefly and by agreement with our new friends – sharing pleasure with fellows and using them for pleasure as components of our chosen game.

Since then, I have been to many parties at which I have not felt impelled to play or, when I have played, at which I have not had penetrative sex. I have enjoyed them for all that. Even as I walk in and greet acquaintances or simply scan the little frocks, the underwear, the insane stilettos and strap-up boots, the flickering glances of the men and women as they appraise me in turn, I feel a great weight dropping from me.
