You do not need to jump right into any sort of swap if you're not ready for it. The Mrs and I had our first actual experiences with just us playing in a private room at LS parties where we could hear others around us and they could hear us (the Mrs is VERY vocal...lol). Before that we just went to Meet and Greets. One of the 1st things you'll notice is that swingers look just like everyone else.
As we got more comfortable we started to leave the door open at LS parties so people could peek in at us, then watch. We eventually took the leap to soft swap with a couple we got to know well, and eventually full swap, but it was a process over time.
One of the first things we needed to work out was if "kissing and cuddling" were OK. It's a common first hurdle when you get to actually swapping.
The key thing is that this should be something that you both are doing to enhance YOUR sex lives. If it's not doing that for you equally then you need to step back and discuss how to fix it or if you even want to continue with it.
