Getting involved with neighbors can be tricky, especially when it comes to something as intimate as swinging. The biggest issue here is proximity… you’re playing with people who live right next door, which can blur boundaries FAST. When it’s with neighbors, you might see them daily, even after a night of fun. If feelings or misunderstandings arise, it can turn into an awkward, even hostile situation, and it’s tough to keep things compartmentalized.

Also, there’s the risk of “crimes of opportunity.” In a lifestyle setting, people sometimes act on impulses they wouldn’t otherwise, especially when alcohol is involved. That can lead to situations where someone might make a move when you’re not around, assuming boundaries have loosened. This isn’t about distrust, it’s just a reality of human nature in more open environments. With neighbors, this risk is even higher because they’re always in close proximity.

If you choose to continue, it needs to be with clear boundaries and lots of communication. Make sure everyone understands the lines that can’t be crossed, even if things get tempting. And maybe consider keeping some distance between play partners and everyday life - it could save you from a whole lot of drama.

For the time being (especially in this situation) and for all encounters moving forward, your best friend will be OPEN COMMUNICATION and unwavering adherence of your personal/mutual/relationship boundaries!

Sounds like you’re having fun and I hope you both enjoy the ride!
