in contrast to complaints in the "Part 1", this story has started out with pairs, which i find more pleasing than random groups... there is an underlying foundation to the characters (which will be expounded upon?)... mental pictures of the events are easy to conjure and relate to... very good
I posted a concern in the Paradigm Shift about the importance of trust in a relationship. In this story basically the characters show trust in each other by insuring that the experiences are shared and mutually agreed to. This elevates the fun and eliminates the trust factors as long as the husband and wife make mutual confirmation of their relationship after the swap. It is also useful for the stakes to be the same with all the participants. This seems to be more of the Steve Wallace philosophy as stated often in The Circle. The Paradigm Shift illustrates what happens when trust is destroyed. In that case this is the prototype solution for that conundrum if the partners can reach it. Knowing Steve Wallace, they will find it. It is very interesting and imaginative to run these stories in parallel!!
I really did enjoy the first 2 chapters very much, very erotic and good imagination. A model of what swinging could be! Great fantasy too!
