I found I was enjoying myself and my life that little bit more when I was using and abusing the swing. It took me for a ride I’ll never forget while I was soaring through the air. The rubber of the seat was pleasantly rough, and created a gentle friction to the thighs while riding. Throughout those 10mins of swinging, an overwhelming sensation passed through my body enabling a rush or high of some sort. Unsure what this experience was, but highly recommend to all who might be passing by.
