Are we still swingers?
A few weeks back in my A Date With Blueberry Muffin post I talked about an odd conversation with our most special of friends.
A conversation about feelings of attachment, commitment, emotions, possessiveness, and the like.
I also told how my “girlfriend” ended up saying the L word in bed and that I left her hanging.
The end result was that she said she would never tell me that again unless I asked her to tell me.
Fast forward to Labor Day weekend.
My girlfriend only let the L word out a few times again before the weekend. I had not asked her and she always said she was sorry.
She said she new I felt the same, but that she didn’t want to push.
Hmm… o.k.
She pushed.
I liked her pushing.
I did feel the same.
For the weekend we all went to a cabin up in the woods.
It is a place our friends go every Labor Day weekend. A place all their family goes.
We had to behave and a no touching in public policy was rule because of all their family being around.
It was pretty tough. We are all naturally touchy when together.
We did behave though.
We all found it sad how we have to hide how we are and how we feel towards each other because of other peoples lack of understanding.
It is however the way of the world.
I’d like to say the no touching in public rule was the reason we spent so much time in the cabin, but the truth is we all just wanted to have sex.
Even though I had arrived tired, grumpy, and with a sore back my girlfriend somehow coaxed 7 amazing orgasms out of me within the first 24 hours.
It was her husbands birthday weekend and besides my wife making him some special deserts and a few cool presents she made sure he had a great weekend.
Not that anybody was keeping score… but we had a tie going on when it came to cumming at the 24 hour mark.
My wife then informed me that her boyfriend (my girlfriends husband for any who are lost) dropped the L word on her too.
Are things getting too serious?
Yes and no.
Yes because society doesn’t approve of this sort of thing.
We have been discussing building a house together someday.
My wife and I are talking of moving 9 hours across state to live in the same town with our friends.
After a lot of contemplation and soul searching I realized that my darling girlfriend is exactly that.
“my darling” and I do indeed have those crazy feelings for her and worry constantly that something will ruin it all and I will no longer have her.
I realized that the thought of her not being there in my future causes me pain.
I realized that I needed to ask her to say it… so I could say it back.
I waited until we walked in the woods alone.
Just the two of us.
I didn’t want her to think it was a moment of passion.
I told her I loved her.
I meant it.
What kind of relationship we all have I don’t know.
If it will last I also don’t know.
At this point we all hope it will.
A couple weeks earlier we had all decided to be exclusive for a while.
No “playing with others” while we let our new feelings settle in.
That came about during a phone call when my girlfriend admitted that the idea of me playing with others made her sick to her tummy and that it was a “hurty” feeling.
Oddly enough I understood because to be honest and against all my beliefs I really didn’t like the idea of her “playing” with anybody else either.
It was “hurty.”
I have contemplated this strange way of thinking and have figured it out.
Being someone who has never felt jealousy before it was a hard egg to swallow.
What I realized was that I felt this way because of a need to posses this girl.
I don’t have jealousy with my wife because I know she is “mine.”
My girlfriend on the other hand says she is “mine”, but our relationship has not reached a point that allows me to think that way. I am hers and she is mine, but only to a point.
When it reaches a permanent state of “us” it will be different.
The us isn’t formed yet.
We are thinking in that way a bit, but it is still to new and fragile.
Once it has become an us that feels secure we wont have those feelings.
I will be able to watch her with another and think of her as “my girlfriend” in a different way.
The same way I can watch my wife and think of her as “mine” no matter what she is doing.
I explained this to my pretty girlfriend and she understood and agreed that is the situation.
Someday… but not now… we will be able to attend a swingers party together as a group of 4 and play with whoever we desire without emotional issues.
For now though we all agree that we would not enjoy such a thing and if we did go to a party or club for the social aspects it would be a play with each-other only type thing.
So polyamory is the word of the day.
We are exploring polyamory, but all still think of ourselves as swingers.
We plan to someday swing again.
In groups of two, three, and four… as a team.
So what does that make us?
Poly people?
Swingers who went to far?
Swingers on break?
Poly swingers?
Fools?
Day dreamers?
Lucky?
Will swingers accept our relationship if it works?
Will they respect it?
We have told a few close swinger friends and gotten mixed reactions.
Some thought it the coolest thing ever.
One couple (who we have hung out with a dozen plus times) pretty much wrote us off.
It is weird what is o.k. and what isn’t in swinger land.
