All Comments on 'The Swap'

Very well crafted and thoughtful. Thank you. Rod/Rob?

Naughty ;-)

Felt real; like ease dropping on conversations that you can imagine happening between friends.

delightful, as always

Was it Rob or Rod? The constant switching of his name was annoying.

The lack of any emotions, jealousy or intense conversations made the story a bit boring and honestly unbelievable.

Kind of hard to believe that with no previous conversations about including outside partners in the married sex life that none of them had any jealousies or feelings of inadequacies.

Still glad to see a new story from this author. Had been needing a fix.

I didn’t really like this as much as your other works. There seemed a complete lack of emotion to this story. It was difficult to get my head around the fact that two, presumably, loving couples just swapped partners at the drop of a hat so to speak; no prior discussion or anything. None of the participants had any qualms whatsoever. They then carried on with their lives as though nothing had happened. Sorry but there would have been some misgivings at some point. As I said, no emotion at all, no angst, jealousy concern for marriage or anything which puts the whole thing into the realms of implausible on so many levels.

Just not my cup of tea'

I did enjoy reading the story but had the same reaction as others, there was no emotion between the couples or between either couple, which would have made it so much better. Also, apparently, you are averse to anyone editing your work but please, PLEASE learn the difference between to and too; also of and off. Those two little simple fixes would improve your writing so much.

That felt like a throwback story to the early days of LW before all the angry ones came. Well done, Randi.

YAWN

As long as they remain friends, there shouldn't be any issues!! 5 huge *.

Great story.

Being a swapping story, this won’t likely score well, which is a shame. I liked it. The dynamic to it is the tension of wondering where and how things will go south. This being an LW story, I expected paranoia and suspicion would do them in. The outcome was a pleasant surprise.

There was something true to life about Alice’s assertiveness. When the group needed someone to break an impasse, she always pushed ahead headlong. Ken’s considerate handling of Rhea probably saved both marriages from imploding on that first night.

Going to a concert in a green cocktail dress? Must be a kiwi thing. Nice story otherwise.

Hard to find fault with this. All four characters are considerate of the others, so good luck to them. It is, however, fiction. I doubt there are many examples in the real world.

Boring. Nothing interesting happened.

Wonderful story. Not tawdry or lewd.

I liked it. It's good when it's an even swap and everyone gets laid.

the only error that jumped at me was Rob/ Rod.

Good story. It played out different with no spite, insecurity or green feelings.

Thank you. Yes, I enjoyed the "real" aspect of it all. Plus, no one turned into a dick trying to get one-over the others. Plus, the constant checking about not wanting to upset their actual partners was great. Absent also was one guy being hung like a horse, so-to-speak. LOL. So, thanks again for an enjoyable "Loving Wives" story. Cheers.

The lack of real emotion is easy to understand when you realize that these couples are not in marriages. They are in arrangements that have no real substance of love, loyalty, trust, etc.

Not my cup of tea either... Just an average tale of swapping with no conflict, no emotion, and no jealousy involved. None of what happened makes sense t me... I agree with 'rhino' - everything he wrote stands on how I felt about this tragedy. Very boring read... 2 stars for the effort

Way too clinical. Way too obvious. By the end, it got boring.

.

There is a reason these type stories faded away…..no emotion. No angst. No drama.

.

Clinical porn is boring after the novelty wears off. Interesting stories attract. Interesting stories containing interesting sex scenes attract. Interesting sex stories get less interesting the more one consumes them.

The strapline on "Loving Wives" (yeah, I know what I did, there!) say: "Married extra-marital fun: swinging, sharing & more."

This story ticked all of those in a fun and spirited 5* way. A great story.

What a deliciously hot story - very well done!

Adult fun, no predators, no cheating, no one burnt. Top stuff. *****

Old school LW story. Very nicely done.

Hooked

Well done! 5*

I loved it. Great dialog, focus on emotions and relationship not a tedious blow by blow sex description. Very hot. Lovely realistic fantasy from the best writer! 5*

Pretty much like in real life….. Two couples, enjoying each others company and things happens.

Been there, done that and no harm done…..

Fabulous. Thanks for this.

Awesome storey, all fun, no BTB. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Have known than to read this if swapping isn't your thing DON'T READ THIS.

A story written by someone who I don't think has had sex before.

Irl, a great way to ruin marriages...the damage would be even worse with small children. As a story, it's just boring.

Hilarious. Corps fucking would have been more entertaining.

Captcha

Fine, but it made me sad. They are headed for disaster.

Another great story.

Aye. And there's the <real> fantasy.

Ifonly. Ifonly.

Great to read a story where swapping partners works for all four.

@Cagivagurl, can you please ask your editor to pay more attention to the placement and use of commas? I love your stories but the commas sometimes get in the way of the enjoyment.

Loved the story!

Also loved the comments “they are headed for disaster”

Great to have a story without deceit or revenge or broken people. Just sex.

You have been missed from Loving Wives. I have read your other stories but these are the best.

You seem to be stretching yourself. This seems out of your comfort zone, but I thought it was well written, well edited, and not what I expected. Your writing has improved. You told the tale, providing a solid narrative, without adding anything unnecessary. Nice job.

You have always told a really good story.

Thank you and please keep writing.

Interesting. Consensual paired couples coupling. The symmetry beats being cuckolded alone. Nice ending.

A fine story .. of course ... I think there should be a follow up or sequel ... for these two couples ... It also appears that there is more than 'Just sex' between the four ... and would like to know how they came to feel about the others over the years ... especially as illness may have affected all of them as years passed. Thank you. .

To be honest, according to the tense dialogue between Ken and Rhea at the beginning of the story, I thought that their spouses put pressure on them in the situation with the exchange of partners, putting them in front of the fact, they retired to a separate bedroom, leaving their significant other in complete confusion and perplexity. But then it turned out that earlier Ken and Rhea had not lagged behind Rob and Alice in the intensity of mutual passions and what was happening was not a surprise to anyone. So where did this indecision in the opening dialogue suddenly come from, and did Rob and Alice have similar doubts?

Any stories reflecting what happened after this initial ... sharing ... other than the summary at the end?

Well written and developed story! As mythbusters would say ‘plausible’ storytelling - not that it is necessary in LW or this site. I was entertained and that is the most important aspect.

Please do keep writing and I will keep reading.

Well done with 2 exceptions. Name changes or mix-ups in the middle of a story are really, really distracting; Rod or Rob. Ugh! Second issue is that Ken really didn't seem to mention Rhea's birthday or make a big deal out of it, which I think he should have done. Might like to hear about the Fiji vacation but might get repetitive. A different sort of sequel might go into more of the "pillow talk" between the couples discussing their weekends, especially after the 2nd weekend. The author alluded to the couples expanding their repertoires as in Alice giving Rod his first car BJ and Rhea kissing Ken after a BJ and Ken giving Rhea a fingering orgasm while driving down the road. What else happened? Did the new experiences cross-over into the others' bedrooms?

Maybe unrealistic to expect everyone to stay such good friends but nice to read a LW story without all the angst and drama.

I was hoping the pair swapped permanently and rob and Alice lust wore out and there relationship ended as there was just lust and the unknown while rob and Rhea relationship thrived in fact got stonger

The swapping thing can be hot in a story if it’s not coerced or forced or non-consensual.

No matter how well you write, your agenda always shines through. Your weak males and self righteous cheating women just leave no characters to care about.
