The Golden Rule: "NO means NO!" Not
Maybe...
Anyone, including yourself, may say "No" at any
time, for any reason, without further explanation. If you’re in a
situation that makes you uncomfortable, just say so - but be polite
don't ruin your night. Never jeopardise your relationship, or the
fun to be had with the life-style and never even consider doing
anything against your will. Don’t submit to guilt or pressure -
swinging is meant to be fun. Keep it that way. Flirting is also fun,
and if that's all you want to do that's fine. Most importantly, be
honest, and be up-front about what you're into, you're likes and
dislikes. This should avoid any and all misunderstandings.
With new friends, always be kind and
non-judgemental - it’s the best way to proceed. If you dont want to
play when you first meet just say so, but remember you may
reconsider and wish to party with them later - it's happened many
times. So always keep your options open.
Everyone's been rejected at some time. If you
have to do it, please be kind. If it happens to
you don't take it personally. No-one fancies
everybody. Just because someone is at a Swing Party, doesn't mean
they have to swing with you. Keep your
conversations upbeat and light and talk to as many people as you
can. Who knows? The person who passes up the opportunity today, may
want to swing with you next time!
Get to know your likes and dislikes, boundaries
and strengths, and stick to them if you're new to the Scene.
Encourage others in their explorations. Keep relationships friendly
and pleasant. Always propose, never impose!
Swingers 'feel' their way through encounters in more ways
than one. If things dont feel right, they probobly aren't - so just
take a break for a while.
Deal with jealousy head-on. It’s a normal human
reaction. Learn what triggers jealousy in yourself and in your
partner. Then work things out. This may mean modifying certain
activities, curtailing others or finding new means of sexual
expression. Festering jealousies are destructive. Tell each other
how you feel straight away - do it quietly - and don't leave it 'til
your driving home.
Let your partner know that he or she is always
your Number One! Take time to talk to them. Be generous with a kiss
and a smile. Check on each other often, so that you
both feel safe and secure. Always
arrive together - always leave together!
Use common sense and courtesy when you’re at
Utopia. Be friendly, kind and thoughtful with a
smile. Friendliness is contagious. Remember, the more people you
make the effort to talk to, the more friends you'll make and maybe
get to play with.
Respect the guidelines or boundries that your
partner and play- friends set. Make your own wishes and desires
clear before you start to play. There should be no surprises! If
you’re 'Bi', for instance, ask if the couple or single you’re with
has a similar interest. Likewise, if you really object to 'oral sex'
or 'bondage', bring it up for discussion. Once everyone is
comfortable with the plan, let the games begin!
Before, during and after you party, pay close
attention to body language. There’s more to human interaction than
just sexual signals, but that’s definitely part of the picture.
Enhance your experience by considering the complete person. Learn to
read the signs and you’ll pick up on what makes your partner or new
friends comfortable, happy, excited, and ultimately, satisfied.
DISCRETION IS PARAMOUNT ON THE SWING
SCENE! Who you see, what you see and what you and everyone
else does, MUST remain PRIVATE.
Never, never discuss details with anyone not intimately involved.
Promoting the lifestyle is wonderful. Publicising it is simply
unforgivable.
Demand absolute discretion…... and be
worthy of the same!
