I don't know whether to go along with him and throw my keys in the middle.....
The other swingers are 20yrs older than us and it feels wierd.
What you reckon?? It might be fun tho hey?!

Cat!!! OMG! That is exactly what I imagine a swinging party for 60 year olds would look like.

I've done it. It's great. Consenting adults and all that, BUT if you're not sure then don't do it. There are 'degrees' of swinging, so maybe you could start with mutually agreed soft swinging, etc. and see how that floats your boat.

Cat why WHY did I click that link.

SquallyShowers · 06/06/2014 10:28

Shagging your Dh's 60 yr old work colleagues?

I wouldnt be having a bar of it!

Why dont you suggest joining a swinging scene where the men are all twenty years younger, and the women twenty years older. See of he still fancies a bit...

I don't know, husband swapping might be a good idea.

You could swap him for a Kenwood mixer.

My neighbours have a massive pampas grass and they light it up at night.

They've also installed a couple of log cabins.

They also seem to entertain a lot.

Thank god I turned down the invites Shock

Sallyingforth · 06/06/2014 11:04

I'd prefer the electric chair.

Youdontneedacriminallawyer · 06/06/2014 11:11

Are you seriously considering saying yes then OP? Shock

Nothing good will come of it you know

WowserBowser · 06/06/2014 11:25

Yeah, i think it sounds like a really good idea.

Do it and report back.

I'm not sure about weather this is genuine or not, but there are many sites around to offer advice. Have a google, and if you do decide to give it a go, be safe.

Pinealike · 06/06/2014 19:42

The thing with pampas grass is that that it looks really good ...on the pampas. I, too, thought it a terribly suburban, naff plant until I saw a lot of them together at Kew, and realise they are much more butch plants than we usually give them credit for. They are supposed to be seen, growing majestically high, on the wide open pampas, not in the middle of an eight-foot-square front lawn in Penge.

OP, if you have seen pictures of your prospective partners-for-the-evening and like what you see, go for it. If not, don't. If you do decide to go for it, for goodness sake, remember you can back out at any time - you owe nobody anything, and if you want to put your pants back on and run, don't let someone else's disappointment stop you. It wouldn't be for me, as I am tediously monogamous, but if everyone is a consenting adult I can't see the harm in it.

And the rest of you laughing at older people having sex - oh ffs, why shouldn't they?

OP, just in case you are serious. I would talk to the people involved and find out exactly what type of swinging they are into, DH used to flat share with a couple of swingers who rather like to talk about their sexlives and frankly even hearing about some of the things they got up to was far too much for me. if it sounds like something you'd enjoy then go for it. (DH by the way used to go to the pub whilst they were swinging and never joined in)
