well i am still struggling to walk properly and my job is 90% walking around so im just being conservative with my healing. plus my boss said i could use holiday to cover these days so i dont even feel bad about it. i’m actually going to meet my mum and sister for a coffee later, which we haven’t done in ages, so i’m really looking forward to it.
and i actually wasn’t ready for how physical the nostalgia would feel. like an actual fucking punch to the gut.
growing up, this was my comfort show! (and charmed, which probably tells you a lot about me) so there’s the nostalgia from remembering all the times i’ve watched it.
plus the last time i watched it i was in my early twenties, like 19-21, so i was the same age as half the actors/characters. now im obviously 15 years older and there’s a nostalgia for that age, that just simply wouldn’t have existed until now.
and, it’s set all in the late 90s early 00s which we all know is a world that no longer exists. so there’s a double barrelled nostalgia. one for the the world i once lived in, and one for the future i once believed in.
so i had to switch it off half way through the first episode. i am going to watch it, but ive roped lyle in to do it with me. one, because i feel like im going to need emotional support, two because i dont actually like watching tv alone (it feels like a social thing to me and if ive got no one to talk to about it, i lose interest quick) and three, because im not sure he’s seen all of it before and it’s probably fundamental for understanding who i am as person.
more than a couple people have said they’re enjoying my (currently weekly) instalments of my swingers diaries, so i’ll keep going but i’m gonna keep hiding these under a break, just so it’s your choice if you wanna read them. consent is always key!
starting to feel like we’re not newbies anymore. we got invited to a house party which’s was about an hour away, so the hosts invited us to stay round also, which definitely made things a whole lot easier. they also have THE MOST STUNNING house ever. if i had a house as beautiful as theirs, i’d be throwing parties every other weekend!
the couple that hosted were absolutely lovely too. really easy to get on with, loads of fun and filled with banter. mrs was so gorgeous, blonde, athletic, great fake tits. although we got on great and had a good laugh together, there wasn’t really that spark between us, so we didn’t play. mr was an old school rocker type. bald and bearded and also athletic. he had a whole music room with merch and props from all sorts of bands, including a sound box from a metallic set! there was definitely an attraction between us and we did end up playing, but barely to third base, and spent more time swapping spotify playlists.
there was a single guy at the party. as in he didn’t have a partner, he was supposed to come with one of his single girl friends (to keep the numbers even) but she bailed last minute and he was kind of annoying about it. he was definitely attracted to me, and it’s not that he was unattractive he was just a bit of a knob and that actually lead to a bit of a revelation for me. i can’t enjoy playing with a guy, if lyles not got a connection with them! like obviously not a sexual/attraction kinda thing, but if he doesn’t like the guy for what ever reason, then i sense that and it affects how i feel. so although we did play a bit, it wasn’t great and he spent the rest of the night trying to re-initiate things despite me trying to politely decline.
there was another couple that also lead to another revelation for me. lyle and i both like the older couples. i’m also really beginning to believe that regular sex is actually the key to staying young. because when i tell you this couples ages you are not going to picture the people we met. he was so suave and had such an air of subtle authority to him. one of those moustaches that curl at the end, and yes it was grey, but in a a silver fox kind of way. honestly, instant attraction. she complimented him in a way that made them both shine. fire red bob that matched her lipstick and nails, and i’m pretty sure her soul. come to think of it, it also matched her corset that let her fantastic boobs spill out. again, lyle and i both caught eachothers eyes as she walked in and we just knew. we all got to play also, but i think at that point the alcohol had been flowing a bit to freely and we didn’t get to indulge as we would have liked. so we’ve already planned for the 4 of us to meet up again separately. anyways they’re 60 and 56 respectively.
there was another couple that came late and left early, and to be honest at that point i was distracted so couldn’t tell you much about them.
it was different form the first party we went to in the sense that it was more of a house party (with sex) rather than a straight up sex party. it was lots of fun, i am a bit of a party girl at heart and i’d be lying if i didn’t say i love being the center of attention (hence me doing the splits in the middle of their kitchen). i am loud, bubbly, probably over confident, and generally easy to get on with, parties do kinda of suit me. however i don’t think it’s quite lyles scene. although he’s also confident, quick and witty, and will happily take center stage if asked to, he doesn’t enjoy it the same way i do. plus i think he ends up clicking over into protector mode when he thinks im getting too drunk, particularly when he’s worried someone’s being a bit to handsy. if he’s worried he can’t relax and enjoy himself, and so doesn’t get to play as much. which leads to the night feeling kinda lopsided and less like we’re sharing the same experience.
so i think we’re gonna give parties a skip for a little while. at least smaller private parties, we might try a bigger rave style party, if one comes along. we are super keen on going to a swingers club though. which i think will be a happy medium between meeting a couple and going to a party.
since you’ve made it this far, and because this is under a cut, even though it’ll probably get marked as mature, heres a couple pics of my outfit before and during the party. 😏
staying home from work today. why? oh because i drank too much gin on saturday and decided to show everyone that i can do the splits. which i can do, when ive been stretching and im on a soft surface and i ease myself into the stretch. and i mean i guess i can do it in the form of a slut drop, while wearing a dress and heels, in the middle of someone’s kitchen, it will just result in me tearing the muscle in my right thigh and not being able to walk properly for a few days.
With your swinging do you not worry about Lyle sleeping with other women that he may get feelings for any of them eventually?
yeah maybe. i mean, i very much think that you can sleep with someone and NOT get feelings just as well as you can NOT sleep with someone and develop feelings. so i mean, what’s to say he doesn’t develop feelings for someone else eventually, even if we weren’t swinging?
plus i think you have to understand how truly open you have to be with eachother to do this. we’ve actually had a talk about what we’d do if the other starts to develop feelings for someone else. like we’ve actually had a discussion about it. i don’t think it’s something most couples would talk about. like generally if someone goes to their partner and says “what happens if you start to like someone else aswell” and their partner will inevitably say something along the lines of “oh that will never happen!” or “i only have eyes/love for you!” and the discussion dies before it starts.
though polyamory/ENM isn’t what we’ve gotten in to this for and we’re not particularly interested in it, it is adjacent to swinging, so we’ve talked about it.
in this scenario i think lyles far more likely to tell me if he’s developing feelings for someone, than if say he had a crush on a coworker or someone else. plus, the people we meet up with are also in the same mentality. there’s less social barriers and boundaries are more openly discussed. like kissing, cuddling and how far the intimacy goes.
so yeah, maybe he develops feelings for someone else along the way, and maybe that sucks, or maybe that ends up being amazing. or maybe he doesn’t get feelings and this just ends up being a fantastic fun experience that bonds us even closer.
i suppose we’ll just have to live life in the mean time and see what happens.
looking back now i can easily pinpoint that buffy was the most influential show i watched in my youth. honestly, i think it STILL reflects in my style. like i think it’s suprises no one to find out i was a mega buffy fan. for YEARS id ask myself “what would buffy do?”
this was my bi-awakening! not only because i had a crush on half the cast but because williow was the very first queer character i ever saw. if you’ve seen the original movie too, buffy has a mark that says she’s the slayer and it’s a mole on her collar bone. i have a mole on my collar bone. you could not convince me i was not the next vampire slayer.
all the stuff that’s come out about joss whedon and the abuse that took place on set, has tainted it for me, which is probably why it’s been over 15 years since i last rewatched it, but with giles passing, and all the nostalgic buffy things i’ve been coming across, i think it’s time.
. my one supervisor calls fridays “fuck-it fridays” because she fondly believes in doing nothing on a Friday and it’s hard not to agree with her. i’ve got an interview on monday, with the company lyle works for, he seems pretty positive that i’ll get the job (i wont count my chickens till they’ve laid their own eggs) but it is making today an extra fuck-it friday.
. we’ve got another party we’re going to on saturday! i’m way more excited for this one than i am nervous. having experience definitely helps, but we’ve also had a group chat going with all the couples invited and it’s been so much fun flirting and joking with all of them. and i will definitely not be the youngest or newest this time!
. i do on average 15,000 steps a day, and that’s only the average because i often don’t do much on a weekend so it brings it down. i quite regularly break 20,000 steps. i honestly thought the average amount for most people was around 10,000 but i recently found out it’s only between 4,000-5,000! but from what i can surmise that’s because most people have a sit down job, so just don’t have a reason to be up and about. people who do have a physical/on your feet job, do hit the numbers i average. how much do you walk? i’m curious.
. my friend gave addy a jacket that’s got “6-7” on it. yup as in what ever nonsense gen alpha has been on about. but the jacket is way to big for her, its gotta be a teenager size. so i’ve adopted it and addy thinks it’s hilarious when i wear it. she also told me yesterday that “6-7” is a “really really old word, like over 100 years old”. so i informed her that both “6” and “7” are indeed old words, much older than 100 years but that “6-7” used in the colloquial manner she’s implying, has barely existed for more than a handful of years! - she loves when i talk to her like this! she’s going to have the best vocabulary one day.
of course i do things backwards. so we started off with an orgy, than a foursome and now we’ve had a threesome. i don’t even do unconventional things conventionally. next weekend we’ll just sleep together and the following, i’ll just masterbate.
so we hosted this time and invited a stunningly gorgeous woman over. and i mean she was stunning! thick long black hair, beautiful naturally tan skin and big blue eyes rimmed in black. her lip, nose, and tongue rings all sat beautifully in her face, and perfectly complimented the body piercings i discovered later in the night. and talking of her body, holy fuck! just perfect, and artfully decorated with ink. the way my jaw dropped when she walked through the door.
not only was she gorgeous but we clicked instantly. all three of us did. we wined and dined her, or rather she drank whiskey. we had dinner in the garden we couldn’t keep our hands off eachother, i can only imagine what the neighbours think.
we were up until 5 in the morning, so i’m not sure i could actually give you all the details even if i wanted to but ill tell you a few things i learned. i am definitely definitely bisexual. yeah im sorry straight (or gay) people, but how the fuck do you chose?! im a top, and a lot more dominant than i thought, at least thats the way it seemed when the strap on came out. and, i really really really enjoy sharing.
i’m not sure how many of you have fantasised about a threesome (it is one of the most common fantasies among all genders and sexual orientations, so probably a few) but i’ve fantasised about one since i was old enough to fantasise. there’s always the worry that real life won’t live up to the fantasy, but honestly, this was better than i could of ever even dreamed up. i ticked off so many bucket list experiences in one night! anything we didn’t manage to tick off during the night, we achieved the next morning. we didn’t drop her back off at the station until the afternoon!
but of course, with three people involved, the possibilities are endless, so i already know this isn’t the last time we’ll see her. we’ve actually got a little group chat where we all spend the day sending flirty teasing messages to eachother. it’s so much fun. and yet again, the experience has brought us even closer, neither of us has stoped grinning since the weekend. if you think flirting with someone is fun, then flirting with someone WITH the person you love, is top tier!
anyways, i do do other things besides have sex, and will post more than just swinging things, but this is just new and exciting still!
this is gonna come off as compliment fishing, so gonna hide it under another cut.
but genuinely i think ive got body dismorphia or something. are these abs? when i look at the picture im like ok yeah i can see that, but when i look at my body im like nope absolutely not. that’s just the lines of your body and good lighting. but like are they actually abs?! i don’t feel like i exercise enough to have abs so they can’t be right?? i’m sorry, im aware this is a humble brag, but you can’t accidentally get abs? like you have to be going to the gym and at least semi working out right? these aren’t abs, it’s just the shape of my body, i think.
our second dip into the lifestyle was far more, well i suppose tame isn’t the right word, but less wild at least. it was more what we anticipated. but buckle up, i know you’re here for the details.
so we met up with another couple, went over to their place for drinks. Mrs was a proper little pocket rocket. she gave me shakira vibes. she has such a beautiful smile, is full of energy and bubbly enough to make me seem like the shy one! plus the most delicious curves and she wore a black body con dress, with a slit in the chest that made both containing her breasts and maintain eye contact impossible all night. Mr reminded me of munch from svu, and yes, it works for me.
it was of course the most beautiful late spring evening of the year so far, so we spent hours in their garden, drinking gin and talking about all sorts. they’re ukrainian and romanian respectively, and we actually had some fascinating conversations.
although there was a heavy sexual tension from the very get go, it took a little while for things to heat up, and that was probably because of me. see, even though i’ve made out with plenty of girls, and “hooked up” with one when i was still a teenager, this was going to be my first proper girl on girl experience. so i’ll admit, i was nervous as fuck. and i had no idea how to make the first move. where as she, likely because the knew im newish and probably nervous, was respectfully allowing me to set the pace. so we were kind of at a sexual stalemate for a little bit.
but, once the first move was made, which i think actually was done by me in the end, things heated up pretty damn quickly. the guys hung back and watched us have a proper play and explore each others bodies. when they did join in, everything felt so organic and sensual. and although there was a sense of urgency, it came from mutual desire. i do feel a bit sorry for their neighbours though 😅
after the first round we all just laid in an entangled heap of sweaty bodies. it wasn’t too long before the chatting turned to stroking turned to petting and turned in to round two. which was less urgent and even more sensual and intimate. there was a moment when lyle and i locked eyes while we were both… preoccupied, and damn! that was one of the most intense orgasms of my life. by the time we’d all showered and calmed down again, it was the early hours of the morning so we all passed out.
in the morning we had a flirty coffee outside in the sun, but we had to get back home, so we left with kisses all round and a promise to meet up again, hopefully soon! lyle and i spent the rest of the day actually beaming with that post-sex-glow.
yeah, i know this isn’t for everyone, but fuck is it working out well for us. i’ve honestly never felt closer to him before. it feels like we have our chests ripped open and our meaty beating hearts are actually touching. i can’t even fathom how it’s possible to be any more in touch with another human. everything between us just feels so raw and visceral and real and passionate. we’re just having so much fun together.
so quitting smoking doesn’t seem to have cured me of my joint pains. BUT smoking was definitely worsening it because, although i’m still getting pains, it’s way less intense! plus the swelling doesn’t seem to last as long.
it’s a bank hoilday weekend, we’re getting a heatwave and absolutely no body can be fucked to work. i’ve just beeb sat in a meeting room eating crisps, hoping no one books a meeting for 2 on a friday afternoon. today is also the last day im doing double shifts!! it’s genuinely gonna feel like im working half days now.
redid my money piece over the week. i honestly feel like this style suits me so much that no body seems to even notice when i re do it. like just yup, that’s what danny looks like.
also, does anyone else wear their shoes out, from the inside out? the grey parts are my sock.
so it’s now been nearly two weeks since i’ve had a cigarette. i’ve also been making sure i drink a litre of water a day and i’ve been (somewhat) regularly taking my vitamin d supplements.
and ONLY one thumb joint has hurt all week and that was only for a few hours.
it can’t of been that simple right??
i mean i’ve only implemented these changes for a couple of weeks so honestly didn’t even expect to see a change for another week or so. but also, maybe it’s just coincidently been a good week and i’ll suffer next week anyways. we’ll see.
words i’ve used to describe the party on saturday, it was…
… an experience
… interesting
… a lot!
… wild
so i bounced back and forth a bit with deciding if i was gonna give you the polite version or the real version and then thought fuck it, it’s my blog, you know signed up for. i will politely hide it beneath a cut though.
i find less people read or like posts i do this with anyways, and i’m going to talk about sex, which some people also don’t like, but i’ve got to properly document my first swingers experience right?
so it was really fun, i really liked it, it absolutely did not go to plan, was almost a complete disaster, but turned out to maybe the best thing anyways. and it was definitely an experience.
so there were 5 other couples and we all met at the hotel bar. i really enjoyed this bit! meeting a bunch of new people, mingling and getting to know them, with an underlining sexual current and a few cocktails going. it’s moments like that that really remind me that i’m not actual an introvert.
i won’t give too many details about the other couples as it feels wrong to, but i will say i was the youngest. the other women were all gorgeous, there were two that i was particularly attracted to. the guys were alright. lyle was by far the fittest one there. but everyone was friendly and welcoming. we were the only newbies.
ok so, if you’ve never looked into this lifestyle, i should probably explain that most couples who are new to it start out slow and meet one other couple first, or maybe go to a club. us going straight to a party is pretty much the same as skipping the tutorial and playing on hard mode.
then we moved up to the suite. we kept drinking and played a naughty card game. like we had to pick a card and on the card would be an instruction. kiss two people; take off an item of clothing; pick some one for your partner to kiss; demonstrate your favourite sex position; etc. so you can see where it’s going obviously.
oh and i’m really glad i chose to wear lingerie under my dress because all the women did!
anyways, so that part was lots of fun too. then it sorta decended into… well ill stop short of saying an orgy, but there was a lot of people having sex at the same time. which wasn’t entirely unexpected but happened a lot quicker than we anticipated.
well it wasn’t so much the speed at which things moved, lyle and i were willing to join in and have fun too. however, remember i mentioned i was the youngest and newest person there, well i seemed to have garnered the attention of all the guys. which was overwhelming to say the least.
on top of that, lyle felt disconnected from me in all the… commotion. so, to our credit, as soon as we both realised the other one wasn’t having the best time, we tapped out.
it was probably a bit more dramatic than i’d like to admit, but i blame that on the alcohol. plus i managed to break the tension when i asked if anybody could help me find my kinckers. we left cordially, but once we got back to our own hotel room we did end up having an argument. the healthy kind. probably. we’re both the type that has to talk it out, all the way out, and sometimes it gets messy in the middle but we came back together at the end and genuinely felt closer. plus had fantastic make up sex. not to long after, the host couple invited us back to their room, after everyone had left, and we had a really great chat with them too.
in a way, i’m actually really glad it all went down the way it did. we both kinda dealt with what we were worried would be the worst case scenario. and we handled it pretty damn well i think. honestly, it’s given us extra confidence. like it’s reaffirmed that we really do wanna do this together and made us even more excited for our next meet. we feel more in control, more sure of our boundaries and more connected to eachother.
so all in all, a success id say. stay tuned for my next swinging adventure.
with long nails i look elegant, sleek, sophisticated. like im a well put together woman who knows what she’s doing.
with short nails (particularly painted) i look like a moody teenager on her way to hot topic.
anyways, the long nails had to go because we’re going to a lifestyle party tonight and according to reddit, short nails are the way to go if you wanna play.
i honestly don’t know if i’m feeling excited or nervous about it. probably just anticipation. we’ve already connected with a few of the couples going so at the very least it’ll be nice to hang out with some like minded adults. we also haven’t been to any kind of party, that wasn’t hosted or attended by family, since before we got married!!
plus i have a dress that looks like a disco ball!!
Your joint pain sounds like mine. I was in my 30s when I got diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis. I hope that's not what you have, but it might be worth asking your doc about visiting a specialist for testing? Please ignore this if it bothers you or is unwelcomed. Hope you find out what ails you and that it's heal easy <3
oh i appreciate any advice or suggestions. if anything my post definitely helped me realise that i’m not losing my mind and there probably is some explanation for what’s causing it, ive just not found it yet.
i’ve been referred to the rheumatologist, just unfornately because my pains are only moderate and not affecting my daily life yet, i’ll be low on the priority and it might be a while before i get an appointment. but i’m gonna take what you’ve said, and a few other comments, and talk to them about it when i can.
in the meantime i’m gonna start eliminating things in the hopes it helps. i’ve already incorporated a whole bottle of water into my daily consumption, im taking vitamin d supplements and ive quit smoking. im gonna give it a couple weeks and if there’s no improvement ill start foods and drinks. i’m not happy about it, but i think energy drinks are the next to go. 😭
but thanks for reaching out and i’m sorry you’ve gotta deal with that. i wouldn’t wish joint pains like this on anyone!
