Depends how serious you are

Maybe introduce it as part of a fantasies discussion - “I quite like the idea of ....” and see the reaction. Each case will be different - it will depend on the reaction.

I guess ultimately depending on the seriousness of the relationship then a “this is me, warts and all” discussion might involve full disclosure of your sexual history but each relationship will be different.

I told my boyfriend I was just starting to explore threesomes on our second date... he was more than happy as you can imagine. Since then we've explored that side of ourselves together.

So I think it pays to be honest!

I’d be afraid to tell them in case they’d want to swing!!

I’m here for sex whilst single. I have no plans to be on here with a partner.

One of my friends had been living with a lady for 18 months, and had stopped swinging.

After a few drinks he mentioned he’d been on here and to cut a long story short, she could never accept it. He’s single and back here now!

I wouldn’t lie, but sometimes things are best left unsaid!

If you don’t plan to swing whilst together then I don’t think you need to. We don’t always know a partners whole sexual history , it’s the past.

Ita part of me so it would have to come up. But what happens next would depend entirely on what the other person considers ‘normal’

A lot depends how much or how little you have done that you class as swinging. If swinging is being on a swinging site and hooking up with other people for sex I really can't see how anybody could or would be bothered.

But the more involved you've been the more I think you need to be open. The truth when hidden has a habit of catching people out. And who would honestly want to be in a relationship with someone who would judge their past life choices negatively

I think it's best to try to judge how they would react.

My ex was a really sexual woman and we discussed things about past sexual adventures but she had never had 3somes of any kind.

She said she would think about it but the answer came as no.

We still had a great sex life but things outside of that didn't work out so I'm back here again.

He was well rid if she had that kind of narrow minded attitude. Everyone has a past.

Sooner or later truth comes out.

Even when you haven't done anything bad.

I would definitely tell them as I'm a genuine swinger. It's in me, it's who I am. Any future partner would have to be willing to indulge in this lifestyle with me or it wouldn't work.

Honesty is best I would say but gently does it, not just announce it out of nowhere. Talk about sex and fantasies and bring it into the conversation at the right moment.

Real relationship will not work if you don't have trust at the begining. Honesty is trust.

Could you please tell me what rights any of us have to lie?

None I hear you cry.

There is your answer op

You're on a swinging site, so I'm curious as to why you would say that?

easy bring up the conversation about a friend who sleeps with other guys but she has a boyfriend and he allows her, as he likes the fact and that they sometimes have a threesome.

then you get the answer if hes into it or not.

In all honesty, if i was to meet someone away from this site and wanted to settle down, i would not feel the need to tell them. What i got up to before i met them is none of their business. Just like if they went out clubbing and fucked a girl every weekend, isn't mine.

It all depends how much you feel you want swinging to be a part of your life going forward. I’ve mentioned it on dates and before I’ve met a guy in person and to be honest it’s not gone down well! I’ve either been seen as an easy shag and go or worse, I have had it said that I could not be trusted (by them) in a relationship, several times. Somehow the equation of swinging =infidelity applies . Hence I’m here where I can at least be honest about that side of me

I think revelations about your past are less important than revealing - progressively - who you are today. We don't just open the door and open the floodgates to showing others absolutely everything about us.

If swinging in the future is important, then it would be important to share this appropriately. If it's essential, then it's worth sharing it from the start, perhaps by only dating someone who's a swinger. If it's not an absolute must, then opening up about sex in general would be more important and potentially could still lead you to talk about swinging. It all depends on your objectives from the relationship and your future.

Really depends on if you have the urge to continue while in a serious relationship.

If it's something that you're going to stop, you do not have to give him a breakdown of what you were doing while you were single. As far as you're concerned, that's your own business.
