Swinging in the Suburbs

So I was on this Craigslist kick a while ago trying to meet some couples for hubby and I to play with and trying to find some men for me to have solo dates with or for threesomes with my hubby.  It really was not too successful at all.  Craigslist is just so different from any of the swinger sites.  You have to do so much work to get to know folks on CL, emails back and forth, cajoling them to send pics, etc.  On a swinger site, you can browse ads all day long and the profiles can be pretty detailed which means you can get a good feel for someone’s personality BEFORE you invest a bunch of time emailing or talking with them.

Craigslist is good, however, for the random hook up type thing.  One guy on there happened to catch me on a good day a while back.  This was before I got my new job, so I was home a lot during the day.  So on this particular day, the CLPhoneSex guy suggests that we have some phone sex.  I was horny, so I figured, “why not”.  I got naked, plugged in my Hitachi Magic Wand, blocked my number and gave him a call.

He was really great at phone sex!  I masturbated while he aurally aroused me with his naughty, naughty stories.  He got me VERY turned on talking about sucking other guys’ cocks and all sorts of other nasty stuff.  It was really fucking HOT!  I had a few really great orgasms with him.  When the phone call was over, he said that he couldn’t wait to meet me.   Myself, on the other hand, was feeling pretty satisfied with how things went and felt no desire whatsoever to take things to the next level.

Basically it was a one time thing as far as I was concerned.  He has since sent me a couple emails and some yahoo messages wondering when we might talk again and I’ve basically just ignored him.  I can’t decide if that makes me rude or not?  I basically just used the guy for my own orgasmic needs with no real desire to actually meet him.  Is that wrong?  Am I just someone else’s Mr TallBaldnHandsome??

Wednesday of last week, we tried something completely new. We posted a Craigslist ad looking for a couple who might want to host us for an evening of playtime. We were just very much in the mood to play, but these sort of short order searches generally don’t usually amount to a whole lot. Typically, we would post what’s called a booty call on our favorite swinger site: Lifestyle Lounge. Even though LL’s booty call list is well known for having a very low success rate, I have met a few fun people that way and even had sex with a couple of them. It’s been rumored that people have some amount of success hooking up on Craigslist, so we decided to give it a try. I posted a message describing hubby and I and asking for people to send us a photo if they wanted a reply.

First thing that happened is a lifestyle friend of mine (guy who I play with) sent me a text asking if hubby and I were on Craigslist. Apparently I was a bit too specific with our descriptions; I did list our correct city, ages, hair color/styles, heights, and weights. Hubby suggested that maybe I should be a bit more vague next time in case people we know outside the lifestyle might be browsing just for kicks. I guess I figured being specific would help avoid the need to post a photo and risk being found out. Apparently when you describe yourself to a T, you don’t need photos! LOL

Exactly one couple responded to our ad. They were a bit older than us, mid 50’s, but that’s not necessarily a deal breaker. They had a hot tub and wanted us to come right over. This is NOT typically the way we do things. We like to know people and become friends or at least good acquaintances before playing to help establish some chemistry. But we like to step out of the box sometimes, so we emailed them back asking for a photo. DUMB!! My ad specifically said that in order to receive a reply, they must include a photo.  I hate having to ASK for a photo, because then if there isn’t an attraction, it’s very difficult to say, “well we were interested, but after viewing your photos, not so much.” The female wasn’t unattractive. She was slender with blonde hair, but she did look a bit old and hubby just wasn’t feeling like there would be a connection. The guy on the other hand…..I don’t want to be rude, so I am going to say this in the nicest way possible. He looked like Albert Einstein with glasses. Gray hair that was sticking up on end, huge glare on his glasses, and I swear his eyes were closed. How on earth does anyone expect me to see that photo and say, “Oh wow, please please please let me fuck you asap!”

Luckily they lived almost an hour and a half away, so we just explained that we didn’t want to drive that far on a work night. They did offer to let us spend the night, but we declined “because the kids couldn’t stay home alone over night.” True, but also convenient.

So what did I learn from this experience?

1. The theory that says no photos in the initial email is a bad sign seems to have more evidence to support it.
2. Age does matter if people look their age (and older)
3. Looks matter
4. Craigslist probably has no better success rate than any other booty call option
5. We were horny, but not that horny!
6. One should be careful not to describe themselves TOO accurately on a site that is available to the general public.

Does this mean I am giving up on Craigslist? Absolutely not!! I’ll try again and keep reporting back on our success rate.
