2:30 How to get what you want out of swinging

Diana Ryan and Kieland McClellan give advice to a listener who doesn’t feel welcome in most swinging spaces in Wisconsin and who keeps encountering women interested in her man but not in her.

• See who you vibe with and ignore the rest
• Ask the host to introduce you to people
• If there is a Facebook group, chat people up there first and invite them to say hello when they see you at the live events
• Consider reassessing only playing together—maybe playing separately in the same room?
• Or consider kink events, where people can be more open-minded

Find Diana on her website, 360 Life Skills, on Twitter at @ch1pmunkryan, Facebook at 360 Coaching & Counseling, and Instagram at with_coach_di. Kieland is available on Facebook at Keiland McClanahan or via email at mailto:[email protected].
