I began attending swingers' meetings in Jacksonville, Florida when I was in my thirties. I was single and had always enjoyed reading Penthouse Forum, Variations and Letters. I had experienced some threesomes and one or two group sex events during and after college but had yet to meet a woman with whom I felt secure enough in our relationship broach the subject. Many of the letters I was drawn to in various adult publications had to do with group sex or MMF scenarios.
I occasionally went to adult bookstores at the time and usually left with some publications, including a local swinger's magazine. Florida has always had it's share of sex publications containing many swinger ads. As I perused the paper I kept coming back to an ad for a swinger's organization that held it's monthly meeting at a local Holiday Inn. I was intrigued to say the least but was a little uneasy with not knowing what it was all about. I didn't really understand the concept of "off-premises" swinging but I said, "Now or never." I called the number in the ad and was pleasantly surprised to speak with a very nice lady who answered all my questions and encouraged me to attend as a single male. She assured me the club was well run and had certain rules such as "No means no" and "Ladies always set the rules."
I attended my first swingers party the following Saturday night. I arrived at the hotel around ten o'clock. The party was just getting started. I was incredibly nervous as I enjoy meeting new people very much but don't mix all that well until I feel comfortable. I got a cocktail and began circulating through the crowd. I was surprised at the overall vibe being one of fun, drinking, socializing and no overt sexual play. The guest's age ranged from early 20's to late 60's. Many were not my type but there were also plenty of attractive couples and some singles.
I got a second drink and found a spot to sit and relax and people watch. I had been there no more than 30 minutes when an attractive, mid-thirties couple asked I they could sit with me. I immediately said, "Of course." They sat and introduced themselves as Ann and Barry. We exchanged small talk for a while and then Ann asked me if I was a regular and I told them that it was my first time attending a party. They had been members for several years and had enjoyed several very hot encounters with couples and the rare single male. I told them of my previous experiences and wanted to become more involved with their club.
In describing some of their romps, Ann and Barry both said they wanted another MMF and would I be interested. I assured them I was, and they asked me to meet them in their hotel room.
