Swinging Bi Boys

While listening to the delicious Cunning Minx on www.polyweekly.com I was inspired to write her and wanted to share it with you:

I wanted to drop you a note about your comments around the swing community and bi-boys. You are right, there is a taboo around the boy-on-boy action. The funny thing is, despite there being no rules against it, it is just something not commonly seen. As a bi boy who enjoys pushing the envelope, I find it fun and amusing to put little cracks in the machismo that often permeates the swing clubs. I know from experience that is is usually a welcome sight to a number of the women in the space. We men have our own set of luggage to contend with around issues of ego, confidence, image and perception. I think the only way to help break the old patterns of behavior is to set a strong example that making out with another boy doesn't make you any less of a man. Just like making out with a girl doesn't make you any less of a woman.

So if you are a bi boy, and you like the swing community, then I say, don't be trapped in by taboos. If you were trapped by taboo, you wouldn't be at a swing club anyway. So grab the bull by the horns, so to speak, and find a other boy who is comfortable with it and go for it. You don't need to do it on the pool table so that you are being rude, but don't hide it either. Be comfortable with yourselves, so others can learn to be comfortable too.
