Getting Beyond Stale

Is this the beginning of the story?

This last scene sets up the possibility for several options to finalize the relationships. As is, it is a tease to wonder what will happen now.

Interesting

This was a nice change of the stereotypical swap storyline. However, I have some doubts of the soundness of the plan. Too coincidental to have them pair off into separate couples. I believe at the very least that their little group of eight has instantly become two groups of four where intimacies shared between the two sets of couples will diminish the ability of all eight being able to meet as much as a group. It also sounds to me like Julia and Derek were the only ones not breaking the rules otherwise why wasn't Greg invited to dinner as well? Because Maggie already knew what his answer would be. I liked the story.

differant

A new ideal for a tale but do not for me. I do not share my wife in any sexual
way. A good tale about someone else. I would of thought of at least one of
the eight people would not go along with the sex outside their marriage.
.

well that went south in a hurry!

So the whole thing was a sham excuse for swapping. Shallow and disappointing.

Okay set up, but didn't really go anywhere fun

I thought it was inexcusably rude to Greg that this conversation at the end did not include him. He has no say in the matter? It's okay to treat him like a 'mushroom' (kept in the dark and fed BS)? So Maggie is going to go tell Greg about the conversation, and that his wife is planning to fuck around on him, but it's okay because he can fuck Maggie, so no problem, right? If Julia gave a damn about her marriage, then she would have insisted on RUNNING from the resturant to talk to Greg before anything else happened, and told him EVERYTHING. If the story continues, Greg should grow a pair, tell Maggie to go to hell, find his wife in bed with Derek, and divorce her. It was a stupid plan from the outset, that could obviously only led to adultry (emotional adultry, at least), with undermining of the marriages.

If

If this is the first part of a series, you need to label the story as such to be fair to your readers, and to yourself. Readers will rate this story down because it is incomplete. But would not do so, if they knew it was just the first chapter.

Just an excuse to cheat

Let's face it. The title alone suggests their sex lives were getting stale. So why not switch partners? No need to continue this tale.

What a refreshing change!

The curiosity and the mystery of the web site seemed to flow naturally to all. The routine and rut was a consensus. That not all date partners were fun was expected. Kisses that curled toes had to happen. Maggie and Derek meeting with Julia alone to explain the mystery is logical. Greg wasn't left out. Maggie had all night to explain it all to him, while Derek and Julia enjoyed their head start. This story is a delightful introduction to swinging, without the boring cliches of convincing the wife to go, wearing no panties, to a club. 5*****

Foolish me

I really hoped we were building up to the realization that nobody does it better than the original spouses, and that the "experiment" prooved to each participant not to take their true lover for granted, as well as the importantance of variety and creativeness in maintaining a strong relationship with the spouse. But no, it was just a clever ploy to cheat, presumably guilt free. The smoking gun of this plan was that the spouses were strongly discouraged from talking about the experiences, thus creating and driving the wedge between the marriages. Funny how they all agreed to nothing more than a good night kiss, but yet it devolved immediatly to adultrous sex and sneaking around. With the story you created, I can't see how ANY of the marriages would be expected to survive in the long run. Oh well.....

An Emotional Maturity Test?

If you are the type of individual who enjoys watching others get seriously hurt in accidents caused by their own stupidity-then you'll love this story.

hmmmmmmmm

EspressoBolus said it best, pretty disappointing.

starts out great but not even half through the first date with Julia it went south real quick.

The worst of all is the setup of Maggie and Greg who are obviously sportfuckers and had hidden it for a long time.

instead writing a good story because the idea could have been refreshing and fun if it would not have been on a weekly basis (destroys every marriage,when should they have there good time) , maybe once a month, you made it the usual boring filth which ends up in 3 divorces and a couple who gives a fuck.

What computer geeks call 'Shareware?'

Time to shut down the system. "My work here is done!" When only 6 (or 4) are there at 1:00am Sunday morning, the cat will be out of the bag, anyway! (OR, the Pussy will be in the Sack!) (sorry, the Debil made me do it!)

A much more elaborate method of 'rut correction' than putting keys in a bowl (and eventually someone has a distinctive key that only one potential partner knows about!). The writing was clear, only some of the characters are developed (but that is OK), the plot was plausible. Good job!

Incidentally, I believe this is NOT Ch1 in a series. There are three levels of character development...Sweetie Julia, then Derek, Greg and Maggie, then the other four! Only Julia's interaction with Greg and Derek has any legs! And those are pretty obvious and common.

5*

Idiot story for idiots.

So getting divorced is better than love and being creative? Sorry, I found your story sad not erotic.

Give the Boy A Break

Not at all bad for a first story! The characters had some personality - and not all of it was loveable for a change. The was plenty of good dialog - not the usual "then he did me,then I did him.." crap that some try to push off as fiction.
And fiction it is, so if it doesn't match your own moral views - go somewhere else.
Write chapter 2 and 3 and let's see where it goes TFB.

I gave it a good score

I didn't overthink it. I thought it was a well-written, nicely paced and original fantasy about getting into a little swinging action with friends. What married guy hasn't thought about it, even if he wouldn't do it? Read a lot like one of another Texan's stories, or at least the beginning of one (TxTallTales).
The one criticism I would have is trying to determine the point of the story. It seemed like the preamble to a stroker, without the strokability.

I thought it was

very well done. I expected it would lead to some wife-swapping and hot sex scenes. But it did not - at least not as written! It does, however, lead us to our own imagination, which can produce results as exciting as those that could have been written. Use your imagination and fuck the woman (or man - sorry, you can tell I'm a guy.) of your dreams! I don't understand all the moralizing that goes on in other comments. If you come to a site with the word "erotica" as part of the name, you should expect what you find here - all varieties of sexual activity including infidelity, cuckolding, etc. If you don't want to read about those things, why come to this site? I love a story that gives me an erection and a dripping cock. That's why I come here. This story didn't do that, but to me it was very well written and enjoyable.

A good start

Now I want to read about how the girls take to getting fucked by someone other than their husbands.

One thing for sure, the women will have to change their night for having sex with their husbands to some other night other than Saturday, or their husband will have sloppy seconds.

I hope to see more soon.

Thanks for the read...

Loved it

Nice job, I'd love to read more, if you write it, but also really liked the way you left it. Thanks!

I really thought this story was going in a different direction. Good writing, but too many names and connections to keep track of.

A little disappointing that these three get together at the end to discuss having sex, sans Greg. Doesn't he have a say? Shouldn't she wait to see how he responds to Maggie before she hops into bed with Derek? I am fine with consenting adults, but what Julia does in the end is cheat without any regard for her husband. She takes the word of Maggie that the other couples are all fucking. Disappointing.

I give it a three.

I thought it was quality

Writing and thought. Sure there are some holes there that have been mentioned but I liked the approach, plot and direction. I thought it was a quality read and I look forward to more from you. Thanks

too much emphasis on methodology

of the swap process. not much real sex. I kept wondering when there would be sex.

Has potential

As a story, it was solid and well written. As erotica it was pretty flat. I didn't see very much in it that I would find erotic. The concept was good, and should be developed. I agree with others that keeping the characters straight was difficult, with eight people involved.

not bad

very good, but kind of left us hanging. Would love to see a second or third part. It should have been obvious where it was headed. Please finnish and let us know the result.

Please may we have more

Please add more-- the writing is wonderful-- I know I have an imagination BUT if that was what I wanted I would not be reading so eagerly your wonderful writing

Hoping For More

I loved your story. It left me disappointed that there was not more to read. I hope you will pick this story up again.

I liked this story but

You really so need a sequel.
