I (M31) was talking to another person (who is getting started with swinging) about what kind of tattoo I’d get, given that I have never gotten one. I said it would probably be something swinging related, like the four pairs of feet similar to the banner of this group, or an upside down pineapple. It would be small and in a discrete location on my body for obvious reasons, LOL. They asked me if swinging was one of the more important parts of my identity, because many people get tattoos of things that mean a lot to them. I actually think so. Swinging brings me lots of fulfillment in life. The amount of profound relationships it has brought to me has truly been a gift. Maybe I’m being a little too obsessed with the lifestyle, but I think what we do is quite beautiful, even though it is “naughty.” The lifestyle has allowed me to have an overwhelming love for my significant other, because of the level of trust it builds. The compersion aspect hits me strongly. Also, I love the vulnerability of being naked and intimate with other wonderful human beings and doing something so personal with them. And I love the amazingly happy feeling you have after giving someone an orgasm, which is one of the most powerful form of pleasure. I don’t know. I feel like my life would be a little incomplete without swinging. But I know it might not be something I can do forever and I need to be content with life even if I was not swinging. I do believe I still would be content without it, but man, does it surely add a lot of goodness to this journey we call life. I was curious whether other people consider swinging an important part of their identity or fulfillment in life?
