My two cents.

I was a swinger for many years, enjoyed it throughly. We were picky and choose wisely our partners, either of us could say no not that couple and that was that.

If your relationship is strong and caring it can combine the best of being a couple with being single again. Funny how that works, you will find yourself wanting to be in better shape because after all it may help get the partner you desire. It can and does make each person more sexual aware and alive.

A word of warning here, even with protection being used they can split, tear and otherwise leak so knowing that each person has a clean bill of health is very important. That was the reason we said to our friends we won't play anymore to easy to get a disease from a careless friend.
