YNOT – Summer is speeding by, swingers are enjoying the weather and consensual sex, and politics is a continuing pain in the neck. Some might also feel like the media needs to get a life and spare us from the constant political news that infects our daily lives, especially when so-called “reporting” seems too often biased by subjective crap.

Maybe we need longer summers with even more swinger events, one-term limits on politicians, and “reporters” who masturbate more often to (hopefully) give them clarity of mind and view with which to provide real news instead of slanted garbage.

I’m writing this just before heading to a private swinger cocktail gathering at a lounge where 35-80 of us gather after work on Thursdays. Similar events also happen on Fridays at another San Diego location. It’s mostly couples in a “meet-and-greet” atmosphere, but the organizers allow a few select singles. Yes, there’s lots of hugging and kissing and some clandestine roving of hands and rubbing against each other, but nothing is overly apparent to any non-swingers who may be there at the same time. Naturally, people sometimes go home with others to play, but open sex at the public gathering location is a no-no.

Being a porn star is fun at such happenings, and admittedly my penis gets “up” with the frequent kissing and touching. I’ve enjoyed many liaisons and friendships with swingers during my 26 years of swinging, especially couples with a wife who enjoys the simultaneous sexual attention of two guys. Swingers know how to have fun without jealousy or possessiveness. Women curious about bisexuality can live out their fantasies with other swinging women.

Last Saturday, after attending a large family wedding at the beach followed by a traditional reception, I showered in the resort’s gym facilities and hustled down to a swinger party with some of the same couples I know from our Thursday events. The private house party started at 8 p.m., so when I arrived at 9:30 p.m. most of the 30-35 couples already were engaged in full-blown sex throughout the multiple bedrooms, the living room and the back yard. As usual, I had a blast. Even the host and hostess participated and enjoyed the mini-orgies taking place in their home.

The hot tub was loaded with sexual happenings, and the food was delicious. What nice and considerate people in attendance! Though there were bars both inside and on the back patio, no one drank too much. (I usually drink water, soda or pineapple juice at parties, because at 71 years of age, even one alcoholic drink can adversely affect the rigidity of my erection.) Indeed, it was a fabulous night.

Let me rant a bit about politics. I sense politics are starting to engulf the personal time of Americans to the point that many are fed up with our present government (and, some of the media, too). The economic situation is stressful and seems to be rife with political baloney — especially in Washington, but also at state and local levels. Politics, in my opinion, should be cleaned up. Elected officials need to start working primarily for the good of America, not just for their next election.

Politics seems to be smothering us common citizens. I think we should have one four- to five-year term for all positions at all levels of government, thus letting the elected persons actually work for the good of the people, not get politically positioned for the next election. Who knows? Maybe we’d get more qualified and focused candidates. Elected folks should not be exempt from the laws they heap upon the rest of us, nor should they receive special treatment, retirement, healthcare or other programs.

America needs to be returned to the American people, and politicians should be replaced by qualified elected workers who are dedicated to making America better. More than ever before, it seems to me that we voters need to vote, and hopefully we’ll be able to wrest our America from the hands of “politicians.”
