Only you can answer if it was the alcohol talking. Many say things while drinking that they wouldn't normally say/think sober.
There are many variations of
swinging for lack of a better term. We've seen it all. A few examples:
a) the couple the play together with others in the same room.
b) the couple that play together, but like separate rooms.
c) the couple that allow their spouse/sig other to play away from the other.
d) the couple that does not allow penetration - only forplay.
Can this hurt a marriage - Absolutely!! Both parties have to be very comfortable with the idea. If either party has doubts, then engaging in extra bedroom activities won't help those doubts. We've met many couples where the male is quite excited and the female would sit during dinner/drinks and only nod her head as if she's doing him a favour or worse, is afraid or has been strongarmed into playing. It has to be agreed upon by both in the relationship otherwise it's just trouble.
a two way street ... if you think it should be, then it should be. If your hubby is unwilling to play that way, then I don't know that you should be considering it. If you're ok with just another woman joining you, then that's your call. Jealously will kill your relationship faster than you can say 'threesome'. In fact, I went to play pool with a friend from work. He had invited a couple to come along. Somehow the topic of extra ciricular bedroom activities came up. That always intrigues me

Anyway, the hubby mentioned something about a test at work where they would test concentration by having pictures of naked playboy types next to questions (or something to that effect). The wife heard this while shooting pool and immediately came over to ask why he was talking about Playboy anything. I laughed to myself and thought, there is a couple who is not ready for anything like that.
