The Swinger Manual by Just Ask Julie is a
line-by-line instruction guide to the swinger lifestyle. Just Ask Julie eases newbies into the exciting
world of swinging by defining a few terms to get readers accustomed to the lifestyle lingo:
What exactly is swinging? “A broad definition of swinging is consensual recreational sex with others.”
Just Ask Julie continues with anecdotes from
fellow swingers, who she identifies by their swinger names. VegasLee, Happy People, and Pervgeeks are a few of
the interesting couples contributing to this book, adding a second, third, and even fourth perspective on common
questions.
Just Ask Julie thoughtfully describes the most
frequently asked questions for those considering experimenting in this lifestyle. From how to get started, to
dealing with jealousy issues, Julie covers all bases:
“What if I get a disease?” A common concern among swingers and singles a like. Julie compares the risk of getting an STD with
your parachute not opening while skydiving. While this is an obscure
comparison, it speaks to the validity of the issue. There are inherent risks with everything we do in life. This
is another risk that must be addressed when swinging….or skydiving.
One couple, Daisy_girl, admitted to being swinger virgins while
being ”mentored” by a soft swap couple. Another couple, Wewannabebad2, took the plunge into swinging with a fellow
vanilla couple. Julie presents scenario after scenario about how
couples have become swingers. The book explains that there is no one path to becoming a swinger; everyone’s
experience is different.
The instruction continues along with short stories of swinging
escapades. The personal touch of real life swinging examples adds to the realness of the swinging lifestyle.
Just Ask Julie covers all areas of swinging such
as etiquette of swinging, how to deal with rejection, when to say no, and when to call it quits.
If you are thinking about the swinging lifestyle or have been
swinging for years, you will find The Swinger Manual informative, funny, and
difficult to put down.
