It’s time.
For how long, who knows, but Veronica and I have decided to take a break from swinging.
When we wrote the original Dropping Out post last summer, we speculated on a few reasons why we might take a break. As it turns out, we’ve grown frustrated with the work involved in finding playmates. It seems like all we’ve encountered lately are couples that don’t follow up or seem interested in actually, I don’t know, meeting! Assuming of course that we find them attractive in the first place!
Veronica: I think its also that we are crazy busy right now. Between all of the travel and night work that our jobs are requiring over the next few months, I would rather spend a free evening with Hubman and the kids or just him on a date, than go out and find other couples to have sex with. There also has been a glut of flaky people out there and they have dampened my enthusiasm a little.
I think that perhaps when things settle down, I would be open to being more active out there, but for now, I am content for it to just be us. After all, its not like the sex we have is boring or anything like that.
No my love, it’s not boring at all!
Now it shouldn’t surprise anyone that this whole dropping out thing comes with a few caveats. By no means do we intend this to be a permanent decision. We’ll leave our profiles up and you never know, tomorrow, next week, or next month a hot couple could contact us and we’ll jump right back into the action. There is one very nice couple that we had a date with back in January. They told us then that they’re usually very busy with work-related travel and only play with others a few times a year and we’re looking forward to hearing from them to arrange another date.
Of course, there is still Sally and Paul. We haven’t seen them since December, and she’s currently laid up with a knee injury, but we’ve stayed in touch and look forward to seeing them again.
Veronica: No, things won’t be completely closed. We are seeing Dee, our favorite local unicorn on Friday and I am hoping that we have a repeat of the fun we had with her before Christmas. (SoVix-you are our favorite unicorn of all time). Also the option for Hubman to enjoy solo play on business trips is still there, should the opportunity arise. And with Hubman being gone for over two months this summer, I might not want to enjoy celibacy for quite that long, and could venture out for myself.
Ah yes, this summer. I’ll be 2000 miles away for 10 weeks. I don’t think I’ll be aggressively looking, but if the opportunity presents itself, it’s good to know that I have the freedom to see another woman during that time. And even if I don’t play while I’m away, Veronica knows that I’m 100% comfortable with her getting some action. If she wants to go to a party or see Sally and Paul (or hell, maybe Sarah will re-appear and they’ll get together again) while I’m away, that’s fine with me. It’s definitely safe to say that while we’re taking a break from swinging, we’re not returning to monogamy!
Life is full of change. And in order to fully enjoy all that life has to offer, you have to be flexible enough to change with it.
=======================================================================
I suspect that this might also mark the end of Swing Shift. If we’re not swinging, it doesn’t seem quite right to continue to write a column about swinging. We’ll see.
Happy Monday!!!
