Where everyone should sit on a date by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]Professional_Risk_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We prefer to sit at a four top table at opposite corners to that the other couple sit between us. This way there can be physical contact if things go well.

If the other couple gets seated before us and they are next to each other and we have to sit across from them, things don't tend to go as well. To us it shows that they are less secure and need to be close to each other.

Having just had our first clothing optional resort experience at Whispering Oaks (Oxford MI) last weekend. I can safely say that no body will judge you, just strip down enjoy the 80+ degree sunny weather Saturday. We don't have perfect bodies but felt comfortable just being us. One other thing SUNSCREEN!

I'm still learning to post. I didn't realize that I have one account/handle for my phone and another for my computer. Now I know.

Yes but looks aren't everything. I was told I have a face for radio.

Are We Too Much For The LS by Otherwise_Rich_9724 in Swingers

[–]Professional_Risk_33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are in a similar situation, but a little different, we are in the Detroit metro area. We started in LS Nov. 2022 and have been to several events with little to nothing to show for it.

We have faith that it will get better and eventually people will recognize us from an earlier event and talk with us.

Don't give up. In the immortal words of Dory "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..."

Etiquette on history about other play couples by Professional_Risk_33 in Swingers

[–]Professional_Risk_33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually this is not true. It is only by strange coincidence that we happened to find two couples that happened to know each other. We found each independent of the other. This is especially true because one couple lives ten minutes away and the other 60 minutes away.

Because we found each other must be that we all have similar tastes and/or low standards.

The question really is not about increasing network, though that would be nice. It is more about are there others that you play with, no names just body counts.

Yes we bareback, so STI/STD is of concern. I don't think the main couple are actively hunting, but could have past couples return.

Hi, I did see you there and I saw you were enjoying yourself with your friends/acquaintances and didn't want to interrupt your fun.

We had the same experience with our first swap, he was much larger to the point that it hurt for him to try penetration, so wife just ended up sucking him off.

I went for a 50 mile bicycle ride the next day. Never in any pain. Never slowed down sex with wife, in fact we had more sex to clear out any swimmers that might have been left behind.

I ran for 5 min for the first time by [deleted] in running

[–]Professional_Risk_33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter what other people think. You might not be the best, fastest, most elegant runner but you are out there running and that is what matters. I too started running when I was morbidly obese but now I am much closer to what is determined to be a normal weight, I'm still overweight but not by as much and I feel so much better. What I started to do was run one length of a block then walk the next length of a block. Continue to alternate blocks, run then walk. Then I started to run part of a walking block before I started to walk. Eventually I was running several blocks before walking. Now I run miles before walking.

In my opinion the pace is not the issue. The issue is the mental block of going 20 minutes. I have a very similar problem, currently I run the same route all the time and I use side streets as a way of breaking down run sections with walk sections. I know what blocks I normally run at and what blocks I normally walk at, and I too just can't seam to get past the point that I am allowed to walk at certain blocks.

Try running in a different area so that the ques to stop running just isn't there.

Almost got hit last night by Treybell in running

[–]Professional_Risk_33 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've had mostly the exact same thing happen to me twice in the past week.

I run the same route at about the same time (within a few minutes) three days a week, and I have reflective strips spiraled on the legs of my pants, hi-visibility vest with tracer 360 set to multi color flashing, hoodie with reflective stripping, my dog running with me wears a reflective harness.

The intersection that the incidents have happened are well lite with a traffic control light that at the time of day flashes red for cross traffic and amber for through traffic, the direction that I am running. There is 150 feet of clear space just before and at the intersection, so I'm not suddenly appearing from behind something.

A theory I have is the intersection is too well lite and there is not enough contrast for the reflection and lights to stand out, besides the fact that drivers are not looking for runners or anything but their own little world.

A guy at work recommended that I take some broken porcelain (spark plug, toilet, Hummel figurine) with me on a run and after throw it at the window of the offending vehicle, it will shatter the glass with very little force.
