I initially joined here under another name about seven years ago (when I was only married and non-middle-aged) because I had just started to get into dedicated exercise and bodybuilding and I wanted to get information and opinions from as many sources as I could on the subject. As a result, I mostly lurked in the Health & Fitness sub-forum trying to separate the wheat (solid work-out and nutrition posts) from the chaff (jerking off in gym showers and doing the Towel Dance posts). I rarely paid attention to the other sections and only had a minor interest in the sexual side of the site; let alone posting any photos. In fact, for a few years between then and now I rarely even visited the site and even forgot I had a membership here.
It wasn't till the Sexual Forums site, that I had been a much more active member of, went belly up and I was informed a lot of the former members were coming or being invited over here that I decided to change my username to my SF one and post more frequently here.
Despite initially considering giving up my membership due to the less than open-minded attitude and coordinated campaign by some that was projected at former SF members who weren't allowed to identify as a couple here, I stuck it out and embraced the site. My purpose for being here is much different now then when I joined and is mainly geared towards the sense of community and interacting with many of the great members I have gotten to know here and sharing my knowledge and opinions while gleaning theirs. Since most of my activities on other sites have consisted of sharing pictures of my wife or the both of us together, that is other thing that is important to me about this place and why I remain. Since we are no longer active within the swinging community, having others enjoy and comment on her pictures is the only affirmation that she is still attractive to other men either of us can get nowadays.
