Ask most female swingers whether endowment is important when looking for guys or couples to swing with and most will tell you that it is. Whether males want to face up to it or not, the facts of life are that most women go for those who are well endowed.

Big doesn’t mean huge however, and whilst there are indeed some swinger couples who seek out sex with groups of very well endowed men, most are simply looking for couple to couple relationships. The two guys in a typical swinger couple foursome are unlikely to be endowed with huge members but most ladies will prefer their guys to have at least seven inches when erect.

Small penises can be a source of sexual frustration for all women. You don’t need to be a swinger to experience disappointment with the size of a sexual partner’s manhood and this is not just because being well endowed looks so pleasing or feels so good to handle. A major reason for women preferring bigger guys is that they are more capable of stimulating the woman’s sexual pleasure centres located deep inside her vagina and on its walls. Orgasms achieved by stimulating these areas are often more pleasurable and prolonged than ones induced purely by the stimulation of her clitoris. Good endowment and as importantly, one with a thick girth, is required to apply pressure to these parts of the vagina.

However, long before penetration occurs, or in the case of swingers who reserve penetrative sex for own partner sex only; endowment does much to enhance the swinging experience for women. Simply, the sight of a well endowed guy is a turn on for many women and helps them to become sexually excited even before the foreplay commences. Then there is the feel of a large, thick organ in her small hand, followed perhaps by oral sex. This gradual build up of excitement makes it easier for women to achieve multiple orgasms as their bodies are in induced into a more receptive state over a longer period of time.

Whilst this is all good news for guys on the swing scene who are fortunate enough to be well endowed, it is obviously not such great news for the many whose sex drive is not matched by the size of their member. This is actually a very common situation indeed, so let’s quickly put it all into perspective. If you have less than six inches to offer, it certainly does not rule you out as a swinger and if you are an attractive guy with an attractive partner, you are probably going to have as much fun as most of the really big guys. The female swingers are wise enough to know that what might make the best sex isn’t necessarily going to make the best all round fun and swinging is just as much about having fun with lots of different people as it is about having sex with them.

Although this article was written to help swingers and other liberated couples enjoy their sexual encounters, it contains information that will enhance any sexual relationship.

It is a fallacy to believe that a man’s erogenous zones are mainly confined to his penis. By understanding more about what turns a man on, your sexual experiences will be greatly enhanced. Liberated women often demonstrate their ignorance of where to find a man’s other erogenous zones by reaching out for his penis at very early stages of sexual encounters, rarely straying far from it throughout the experience.

Activating the other zones is best done when the man is relaxed. Proceeding in a gentle fashion, the stimulation of the other zones can promote intense feelings of pleasure that can rival the strength of the ones his penis. It is even possible to make a man achieve orgasm without touching his penis at all.

A man’s nipples are an important erogenous zone; sometimes on a par with those of a woman. Even though his nipples are flatter and smaller than those of a woman, they have a similar capacity for erotic stimulation and actually harden and rise when fondled.
The best way to start on the breast area is to use your whole hand to gently hold and brush over his breast. Then stimulate his nipples by massaging the immediate area around them with one of your fingers. Alternate this by squeezing the nipple between your fingers. Continue this action on one nipple for a while with differing intensities ranging from gentle to fairly strong pinching. Then move to his other breast and repeat the same kind of procedure there.
The area between the navel and the penis is an extremely erogenous zone for most men. Stick a finger into his navel and tickle it. Vary your movements between light tickling and heavier massaging. Also vary the speed of your movements. Tease him by following the grove right down to where the penis begins, lingering there for just a few seconds before working back up again to the navel.

For most men, the scrotum scrotum is probably the most sensitive erogenous zone. This can include the testicles but be sure to be gentle when fondling this particulary sensitive organ.
Start by holding the scrotum in your hand, providing massage by applying gentle gripping pressure alternating with partial release. Fondling the scrotum in this way generates sensations throughout the whole genital region. It also increases the blood circulation so that all of the genital organs are engorged.

Treat the testicles with extra care, providing gentle movements with your fingers. The level of pressure should range from a light tickling to a soft fingertip massage. Find the hidden part of his penis by gently probing behind his scrotal sack, by probing with your finger tips between the testicles and then massaging it. Vary the pressure here. You can safely be less gentle in this area and a sudden, stronger movement with your fingertips will promote intense pleasure sensations to his hidden penis root.

Stimulation of the man’s prostate region promotes intense pleasurable sensations. It is best stimulated by squeezing it between your fingers. Press down against the urethra or massage it up and down along the urethra. Alternating between gentle and less gentle pressure will usually promote slightly different sensations, increasing the man’s pleasure.

Pay attention to the area between the buttocks. This is another very sensitive area. By sliding your fingers up and down from where the cleft starts at the base of the spine to the opposite end between the legs, intense erotic stimulation can easily be achieved. Linger in the region deep inside the cleft that is nearest to his anus and tickle around it. By stretching each buttock to the side and opening the rectal area highly erotic sensations are generated.

By stimulating the anal region area in the you will spread waves of intense pleasure throughout the man’s whole body, sending ecstatic signals to the genitals and up his spine up to the base of his neck.

The best way to stimulate the rectal opening is by applying gentle circular movements with your fingertips. Carefully insert a finger into the anal opening and move it gently in and out. Add a little pressure but be careful to check that this is okay with your partner as people differ enormously with regards to how much insertion is pleasurable and at what stage it can become painful.

Sexual addiction, as defined by psychologists, is a ‘progressive intimacy disorder characterized by compulsive sexual thoughts and acts.’ Some people consider swinging to be a form of sexual addiction but it is probably more accurate to say that amongst swingers there are some people who are so obsessed with swinging that they can fairly be described as being addicts.
Over many years of running a swingers club, I have come across both couples and singles who present certain traits and behavior patterns which might indicate to a psychologist that they were sexually addicted. The main indications of their addiction to sex can be summarized as follows:

1. They appear to be almost incapable of talking about anything other than subjects connected with their swinging activities. For example; the parties they have been to or the ones they have heard about and are considering. If you are a member of an online swinger or adult dating club, you will probably have come across such people dominating chat room discussions.
2. Their sex life appears to be their only life. Everything they do will be planned with swinging in mind. If they plan a holiday for example, they will check out whether there are any swinging clubs in the resorts being considered and only choose a resort that has a club.
3. They believe that they have somehow ‘earned’ a good sex life by being good at flirting, have perfected sexual techniques or are otherwise seen by others as desirable sexual partners.
4. They may frown upon safe sex practices, claiming that HIV / AIDS are most unlikely to be contracted via heterosexual intercourse etc.
5. Single male sex addicts often exhibit their addiction by compulsive behaviour with regards to attending parties or using premium rate chat lines. Like a compulsive gambler on a fruit machine, they will continue attending parties that disappoint and calling expensive chat lines that produce no actual contact, telling themselves that ‘next time will be better’.
Although nobody seems to know exactly what causes people to become addicted to sex, most experts agree that a process occurs with the addict’s brain sending out a message telling them that having illicit sex is necessary in much the same way as the brain tells you that you must eat when you are hungry. Eventually a pattern is established whereby the constant messages translate into a preoccupation with sex at the expense and exclusion of other interests. Compulsive sexual behaviour is then established and perpetuated despite any negative consequences and attempts to limit it.
Swingers who are addicted to sex derive a sense of euphoria from their activities that appears to be much greater than other people derive. Their sexual experiences are rarely about intimacy and their accounts of their sexual adventures can often sound strangely detached. They are actually using sexual activity to avoid facing up to unpleasant feelings or as a response to external stressors, which, in the case of swinger couples, often include marital relationships. This kind of behaviour is of course, very typical of how an alcoholic uses alcohol. It may also be significant that swingers who show signs of being sex addicts seem more likely to reveal that they were sexually abused as children. Of course there are dangers in drawing conclusions from what is inevitably a very small number of people who have felt able to share such intimate information with me.
Overall, it is probably fair to say that amongst swingers there are bound to be many who can be described as being sexually addicted. However, compared to many other forms of compulsive sexual activity, swinging provides a very positive outcome of sex addiction.

The obvious time to remove pubic hair would seem to be following a bath or shower but in reality this is not a good time because the hair is unlikely to be sufficiently dry. Trimmers do not work well on wet pubic hair and you therefore need to do the cutting and trimming before you get wet; ideally in the dry atmosphere of the bedroom, rather than in the damp atmosphere of the bathroom.

Pubic hair removal can also be carried out by using a wet shaving razor. Men are probably more likely to use this method than women and may do so in the shower. But again, scissor work will usually be necessary to cut the hair down to a shavable length and this needs to be done in dry conditions. Razors, as well as their obvious dangers, can leave uncomfortable and unsightly razor burns on the delicate shin of the genital area.

Removal creams are a very popular method for removing pubic hair. They are probably the safest means of pubic hair removal and provide a pain free method to obtaining a hairless area of smooth skin. Creams are also reasonably cheap to buy. When considering the use of removal creams it should be borne in mind that a few people can get allergic reactions. Swingers would be wise to avoid using creams immediately before attending a swinger party because they nearly always carry a strong odour that takes a day or so to fade away!

Join any swinger club, attend a party or chat on-line to swingers and you will soon discover that in general the trend amongst them is to have completely shaved or highly trimmed pubic areas. The trend has grown to the point where hairy pubes are somewhat of a rarity at a swingers party! This is perhaps unsurprising when you realise that swinging is very much an exhibitionist and voyeur sexual activity.

The swinger lifestyle is only right for people who are confident about the strength of their relationship and who are able to be completely open with their own partner. Without this foundation, swinging may at best be a short-lived adventure and at worst, turn out to be quite disastrous for the couple’s relationship.

The swinging lifestyle therefore demands much more of a couple than just being adventurous, It requires complete openness about each other’s sexual needs and opinions within a trusting and communicative relationship. Both partners should be clear about what they want from swinging, both as individuals and as a couple. They also need to be in agreement about these goals. It is important that they understand swinging as a means of strengthening their relationship and as a release from temptation to embark upon deceitful affairs that are so often brought about by the monogamous lifestyle.

People usually get started in swinging by joining an online swinger site and making contact with other swingers by sending messages or using adult chat-rooms. Those who do not have access to a computer or prefer not to use one, often join swinger clubs who offer an offline service where contact is made by post or telephone. Whatever way their introduction into swinging comes about, the couple will eventually face the moment when the fantasy becomes reality. It is at this point when many fall by the wayside. Those that have the courage to take the next step and actually start swinging often say that their main motivation was to spice to their relationship.

Couples might be motivated to become swingers for other reasons. Sometimes it boils down to just having strong exhibitionist or voyeur tendencies. It doesn’t have to be the same motivation for each partner. Quite frequently the desire to be watched may be much stronger in one partner with the desire to watch being the motivating factor for the other. It is also quite common for swinger couples not to share the same sexual orientation when it comes to their interests in swinging. The most common difference being between the female partner who wants bi-sexual pleasure with the other woman and the male partner for whom the thought of any physical contact with the other male is an anathema.

In any swinger club, party or other encounter between swingers there are usually only two rules to always be adhered to. These are that No Means No and that Everyone’s Boundaries Must Be Respected. However in addition to these universally accepted rules, couples who have thought things through properly and have the right kind of open, trusting relationship will also have agreed on their own rules. They will also be in tune with each others body language to the extent that any situation that makes one partner feel uncomfortable is communicated to the other. In addition, they will have probably have agreed on a set of signals designed to communicate discreetly whenever they need to. For example, in the early stages of an encounter with another swinger couple, one partner may feel that he or she wants to prevent things going any further and can use a pre-arranged signal to communicate this to his or her partner.

For couples to operate such systems successfully and to remain in tune with one another, their underlying relationship must be of the sort described in the preceding paragraphs. Without such a strong relationship and total understanding, swinging is likely to prove much less than the enjoyable experience that was fantasised.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – The Kind of Relationship That Swinger Couples Need

People often ask whether this or that swinger party venue is a good one or not. Having experienced parties at most venues all over the U.K., my answer to this question emphasises that it is not really a good venue that makes a good party but rather the people attending it.

In terms of size and facilities there are several really outstanding swinger party venues to be found but it doesn’t necessarily follow that every party at such venues is a good one. Conversely, a small, private house party with practically no special facilities can often provide a swinger party that really swings. It’s people who make parties – not places.

Assuming the venue is adequately suitable for hosting a swinger party, there are probably five main requirements for creating the kind of environment that will make a swinger party really swing.

1. The Majority of Guests Participate
   Probably the most common reason for swinger parties flopping is due to them having too many guests who do not participate. Sadly, the swing scene attracts many who are just curious about what goes on and who rarely, if ever actually do any swinging. These people may simply be voyeurs but they can also often be couples, led by males who vainly hope that they can persuade their partners into swinging by taking them to a party.
   Unfortunately, it only takes a few non-participating guests of this type, plus a few nervous – but otherwise genuine – newcomers, to bring about a party mood that stops it ever getting off the ground. Even, experienced, fully participating swingers can be quickly affected by this kind of atmosphere and will often leave prematurely, reducing the number of potential participants still further.
2. Plenty of People
   Although some very good swinger parties take place with very small numbers of guests, the odds are firmly stacked in favour of larger numbers of guests being more likely to provide the atmosphere, choice, and chemistry needed to ensure a party really swings. Small numbers in a small intimate setting may sometimes work well but small numbers in large, empty venues are usually a recipe for disaster.
3. Balance of sexes
   A very important requirement is that the guests attending are made up of reasonably equal numbers of males and females. How equal this has to be depends very much on some of the other factors, especially how big the party is. In a large party, any inequality is hidden quite easily. In a small party, even one spare male may stand out and be a source of disharmony for other guests.
4. Similar Values
   Although swinging might appear to be about purely physical relationships, it is no more likely that people whose value systems are very different will swing together than it is that any other form of bond will develop between them. Swingers do actually chat and socialise at great lengths before deciding to move on to the sexual side of things. During this stage of introduction, values will emerge and either consciously or subconsciously, will go a long way to determining whether a relationship ensues or not. It is important therefore for guests at a swinger party to comprise mainly of people who generally share the same value systems.
5. Balance of Age Groups
   No matter how different the swinging lifestyle might be from the monogamous lifestyle, human sexuality is remains the same when it comes to choosing sexual partners. People are usually attracted to other people who are in a broadly similar age group. This may vary by quite a few years from individual to individual and women are more likely to enjoy older partners than men. Nevertheless, a party where age groups differ enormously and some guests are totally unable to find people of their own age group, is unlikely to be a swinging success.

How to find Swinger Parties that Really Swing
Because people make parties, it is impossible to predict with certainty whether any one party is going to really swing or not. The answer is to go to as many as possible, accepting that some will be better than others, Join a swinger party club like Club Aphrodite to ensure the widest selection of parties possible.
