Swinger advice

 The next thing you need to prepare for your adventure is a few good photos. I mean *good* photos. They should be well-lit, in focus, and give a good representation of what you really look like. Let's face it; a lot of sexual attraction is based on being attracted to the way the person looks, so if you're going to make the transition from first meeting to "getting it on" you're better off showing people what you really look like to start with. Your photos don't necessarily have to be of you naked, although it's nice to have some of that type too, but nice, sexy shots that show off your best features are just the thing. It's okay if you don't want to show off your face at first; I understand the worry of running into your boss or your cousin online, so shots can show off your body without making your identity necessarily known (tattoos notwithstanding...).

 If you're working with actual printed photographs that you already have, you are, you are going to have to scan them, or get them scanned. You can buy a decent scanner these days for around $40, so just go get one, okay? Besides, you're going to need one, because your parents-who-want-to-see-pictures-of-the-cat are probably going to be getting online any minute...

 If you're really lucky and wired, you have a digital camera. However you accomplish it, you've got to get a few good photos of you and whoever-you're-with into the computer. Have them organized into a folder, and ready to go when you need them. Don't get caught with your digital slip showing.

 It's nice if you can make your photos available online so you don't have to email them to everyone who asks about you. If you don't want a web page, you can store photos online for free at
 Once you've got your act together, it's time to place an ad.

 First you have to decide how much this is all worth to you. You can join all of these services for free, but the real value and the good "action" comes when you decide to pay to join one of them. It's really a small investment towards a lot of fun. Definitely look into the annual membership, too. You save a lot of money that way, and once you've got a presence on the site as a member, you're not going to want to worry about having your membership run out. Most of these places have a deal where you save about 20% or two months free with the purchase of 12, so definitely go for that savings. Swingers know this already; partners come and partners go, and you always have to be on the lookout for new ones, so trust me on this one.

 Next you have to decide which service(s) to join. In my opinion, there are two that really stand out from the rest. If you're looking for just swinging, try Adult Friend Finder and IWantU. They really are the largest on the web, with over 5 million ads placed by members. A search on couples seeking couples in my state (Oregon) turned up over 5,000 results, sesults, so you can definitely find some new friends on this system!
