Vanilla friend part 2

So a few posts ago we talked about revealing our lifestyle choice to a friend of ours that isn’t in the Swinglifestyle and has no experience wife swapping. The summary of that posting was the possible outcome of revealing such a thing to vanilla friends. Here is a bit of what we wrote on past experience and responses we have gotten from those experiences:

In the past when we have shared this we with other vanilla friends we have basically gotten three responses
1. You’re WHAT… followed by a polite oh that’s cool and then the friendship fades away to the point of no contact.
2. REALLY… Followed with we/I have always been curious about that (if this is a male he typically sees if he can fuck my wife, Females try this too however we have found that this usually doesn’t work out well).
3. Huh… I can see that followed by acceptance (this is very rare… Usually people are curious and number two comes into play).
Now the friend that we revealed ourselves to has been a friend of ours for over ten years and we thought that through everything this friend would understand… Well it just goes to show you; you can never predict human behavior or response to a situation… His first response was along the lines of number 3. Acceptance however as we stated in that posting this response is very rare… Most people aren’t this open and accepting usually their own experience or believe system comes into play and interferes with open-minded acceptance of something different. Look we are saying people are narrow minded or judgmental. What we are saying is that fear is usually the first reaction to something new or different. Anyway the response he seems to have had is number 1. Friendship fades to the point of no contact…
Now this posting could be premature and he is still trying to digest the whole thing and come to his own acceptance of it. This is us just trying to be the total optimist and give an old friend the benefit of the doubt.
So will we stop living the Swinglifestyle or stop being honest with our vanilla friends when confronted with the truth…? The answer is a Resounding NO… We have no shame in what we choose to do or the way we live our life. Being a Swinger, Wife Swapping, Friends with Benefits no matter what you call it has bought me and my wife closer as a couple than we could have ever imaged. We make no apologies for our lifestyle.
