It began with a simple question, posed to my wife and I by some attractive couple friends of ours: If you got an invitation to a swingers party, would you go? It's not really the kind of thing you expect to be asked over dinner! Moreover, we had no idea that this couple were into that kind of thing! In any case, we weren't sure what to think at first, as we'd never considered ourselves "swingers" before. Oh sure, we'd talked about it and watched group sex videos online, but we'd never really have the guts to do it, right?
"I don't know, man. Are you serious?! We'll think about it."
On the drive back home, we talked about it. We're logical people, and so the pros/cons conversation is familiar. We thought about lots of pros, but then again, there were quite a few cons, as well. However, we'd been going through a mundane spell in our love life. Not having problems per se, but lacking in the lust department. Given that, we eventually decided that we'd try something to spice it up, and said yes to the invitation.
"Ok, we'd like to give that a try"
In the weeks leading up to the party, I tried to imagine what it'd be like. Were there going to be a bunch of people there, or just a few? Would I find anyone attractive? Although I didn't think that would really be a problem, what about my wife? Would she "get into it?" Would this all take place in the dark? Would it be in someone's living room with all the lights on? It was exciting.
Finally, we received the invitation by mail. It was clearly something that someone had designed and spent a lot of money on. The invite explained that the dress was to be a masquerade, and it would be held in a large hotel suite in town. We were to arrive en masque, so as to remain anonymous from other party guests. This suited me just fine. I know what you're thinking, a masquerade party? Like that scene from "Eyes Wide Shut," right? Well, it was exactly that, and my mind really started racing then! In the following days, my wife and I went to buy fancy masks, and we'd just wear suit and tie for me, little black dress for her.
The night arrived, and we went out for a nice dinner before excitedly going to the hotel. After the valet took the truck, we were stopped by an attendant at the door. He instructed us to put on our masks, which we did, and then showed each of us to elevators at opposite ends of the hall. As we walked, he explained that gentlemen would take a freight elevator to the 10th floor, and ladies would take the regular lift to the same location. I kissed my wife quickly, and smiled as she pressed the 'up' button.
