Say 20 or 30 years ago... and assuming you were aware of it, do you think your life would have been any different?
As an example, I do wonder, that had I been aware that there were women out there that embraced & encouraged bisexuality in a partner, would I now be married with kids? |

Probably not, although the older I get the more I look back and think how much of my youth I squandered not realising what a valuable asset it was and how quickly it's gone.
For me it's an "if I knew then what I know now" situation. |

Yes, swinging community was much smaller and was far more accepting and open minded over diversity than it is today. It was truly dominated by couples bi males were usually, almost exclusively in the swinging community part of a couple. Solo bi males tended to be more associated with LGBT community. |

Yes my life would have been very different. I have always been a very sexual person but could never express myself the way i wanted as would have been considered a tart. I just lived my life the way which was expected of me but was very unhappy. Fab has allowed me to be the true me and things are much better now. |

This is actually a very good question and if I'm honest , I think my life would have been vastly different in almost every aspect of life . Very few people outside of fab know I'm bi and it has to stay that way , but the acceptance I've received in here has changed my life completely  |

No. I would have been 20, twenty years ago and I doubt I would find myself here. It's not what I was after at the time. Sex wasn't a priority and I was happy with sex life I had and interest I received in 'real life'. But who knows really.. |

There should be a thread of how swinging has changed over time. I find your post quite interesting!! |

Maybe I wouldn't have got into a really unhealthy 10 year relationship at 17.
What a waste of time that was!
I could have been having so much fun when I was so much hotter  |

Truth right here.
I think as much as my life went wonky donkey I could have been in a much worse situation.
Being promiscuous was, in my earlier years a way of seeking validation from others and it's only later in life I can recognise that.
I think had I had it at my fingertips back then the way I do now, it could have been an extremely dangerous path. |

20 30yrs ahí at least I would have found a larger group of people not feel normal around instead of saying something that raised an eyebrow and then failing to talk about it again.
Yes, I think I would have been a different person.
Thank heavens I am the amazing man I am today.  |

I can relate to that Peachy
Having Fab at my fingertips as a youngun would probably have damaging to me.

The swinging community has changed significantly, much smaller as I said. Communities within the whole were smaller, sub communities one could say.
Introduction of the WWW and sites like this, programs like British sex, Sexcetera opened the the swinging world to a much wider audience, the whole ethos and dynamincs of the "swinging scene has change" not necessarily for the better in many cases.
The post was to answer the OPs ? Because of ethos and acceptance of the swinging community 30 years ago. Been involved for over 36 years |

"There were plenty contact mags about 30 years ago.
But considered seedy and whispered about. Today it is open and accessible."
It's still seedy and whispered about. |

It may have been a little concerning me finding out THAT long ago, but I think it would have helped massively to find out and get involved a few years earlier than I did.
I was lonely and insecure.
This world has made me feel desired and I have made some real, lifelong friends x |
