Listen to some of the great podcasts. We like “The Swing Nation” and “We Gotta Thing”

Everyone’s journey is different. We’re noobs in the New England area, just starting within the last 6 months or so after talking about it for years (literally—we talked about starting right before the pandemic shut everything down).

We spent a lot of time last year listening to The Sexless Swingers UK podcast (they aren’t so sexless now). They’ve been recording episodes since the start of their journey, and we really related to it. We’ve read posts here on Reddit before we made this joint, LS-specific profile.

Once we finally decided “Okay, this is it. Let’s do it,” we created some profiles on SLS and SDC, and we went to our local club. It is an off-premises club, so we met like-minded folks, but no play is permitted. Making out and copping feels, sure, but there aren’t any play areas. We felt no pressure, but we also didn’t feel like that was the way to go if we wanted to advance in the LS.

We went out of state to RI to visit another couple of clubs, and found one we like (Choice Social Club) that we’ve been back to already and have plans to visit it again in May. First we did some parallel play with a couple who weren’t comfortable doing anything with others yet. Our last visit saw some soft swapping and oral. Things seem to be escalating, so who knows what our next visit will bring, lol?
