10/04 Secrets in the Suburbs
Quote From: ceildh1Thank You, really you explained it well for me.
Like I said, not a choice I would make for myself, but that's me and what goes on at my neighbor's homes
or within their marriage, is none of my business.
How do you explain it to your kids ? I think that comes up in any family that dosen't fit the "Social Norms",
My husband and I (legal union in my neck of the woods ) never did the ceremony or signing the paper, but we've been together 18 years, how did we explain it ? HONESTLY and I think that's true of many non traditional families.
What I took issue with was the second guest who involves his son in the bullying of his wife for a threesome, there are some things that kids don't NEED to know. How do I explain it to my kids? I don't. Just as I don't discuss any other details of my sexlife with my children.
When my kids ask me what I am going to be doing after they go to bed, I usually say, your mom and I will be watching TV and shortly going to bed. I certainly don't reply that we are going to be having sex in the bedroom down the hall. Why should my night out with my wife and our friends be any different?
I do believe that honesty is the best policy. And I would love to share this with the whole world, but because most people don't understand, nor would they respect our wishes, it makes things a tad more complicated.
Could you take your children to a place where people walked around totally nude? Most people would say no. Yet, in many other countries (let alone select areas inside the US) that is normal. Children are brought up with nude beaches, nudity on television, and in magazines. It's so normal that they look at us and think we're the weirdos with our censoring of the human body.
But that is our culture and to try to buck the system isn't going to be accepted overnight.
So the majority of swinging will simply continue to be the "secrets in the suburbs."
