My husband plays on his own as I can't be arsed with all the getting yanked about /squashed/ generally treated like meat that swinging involves.

As you can see he does'nt hide his fab antics from me. He does'nt drive and needs lifts to clubs.I am happy to take him to Paradise in Donny or Xotic and sit in a corner with me Kindle while he does what boys do but he thinks peeps will think I'm rude not playing.Well I'm 54, no Taylor Swift so I don't think I'm depriving anyone. What's the rule here?

I think the rule is you do what suits you best and blow what anyone else thinks.

Did you have a bad experience?

Never felt i've been treated like meat.

Each to their own, but why not join in and enjoy it with him? x

"What's the rule here?" you ask.

Not sure if there really is a rule as such but the way we see it is simple.

If you go to an open club night (singles and couples) then we wouldn't have a problem with what you do, we know one or two couples ourselves that do similar.

However what we don't agree with is a guy taking his wife, G/F Etc. to a couples only night then her sitting in the corner while he plays (or tries to) as a single guy. It's generally known as "taking a ticket" and we've seen it cause trouble a couple of times.

To be honest if I was in a club and someone was reading and clearly not wanting to be there to the extent they wouldn't even socialize I wpuldn't like it at all. And i can't imagine many club owners would either.

Okay reading your first post.. I am going to say that you seem to think that your nothing special.. THATs a awful way to think of yourself.. and I have to say that if your thinking like that.. I can not imagine sitting in the corner will do your confidence any favours.

Also WHY you feel that you will be treated like meat needs to be addressed for your own self worth.. as I wouldnt go if I felt like that.

Last thing is.. I often go to a club and not play..however I socialise.. surely you wouldnt want to sit and not talk to people... I can understand the not playing bit.. but as its been said previously.. some may see it that you have been taken a long just as a ticket to get in.

That's why some clubs have rules about going as a couple, playing as a couple.

Im going against the grain here, I don't think your partner should be able to get in under a couples entry fee and be able to act like a single guy, I always thought most clubs have a rule that if you go together you stay together, in other words he shouldn't be going around playing leaving you on your own with a kindle.

If he wants to play he should go on his own or he should stay and just socilize with you.

What do you get out of this arrangement??

Maybe at some clubs I can only go by the clubs I have visited but the rules there are along the lines of you come together you stay together, in other words you don't wander around like a single male if you attend as a couple.

whether you play or not doesn't come into it but he shouldn't be allowed to fuck everything whilst you just sit there, if you don't play then he shouldn't play, if you play (whether together or seperatly) then that's fine.

I'd say the same in reverse, you wanna act like your single come in as a single, if you pay and enter as a couple act like a couple.

Whats then to stop every bloke taking a female friend just so they can enter on a couples only night and then go around like a single guy bothering couples, couples only nights happen to give couples who dont like single guys a night with likeminded couples.

sounds a little bit club-fascistic

the guy is there with his wife who doesnt play, but he shouldnt play if she doesnt play, so he is to sit there with the given consent of his wife who has made an informed choice not to play and not leave her side.

Unless she gets told to start dropping her kecks by the club I dont see the problem

and there doesnt seem to be an answer to the women who play at clubs while their men dont, some may prefer a drink while she plays..but under the club-fascistico rules..this would not be allowed...

pedantic yes..but think I'm right lol

i can absolutely understand what is being said...

does it fit by the letter of the terms.... sure..

does it fit by the spirit of the terms.... debateable

and that lies the issue....

if they are going with no intent ever to play, and i think we can tell that by the distain in the opening post, then i would agree with those who say they aren't really abiding in the spirit...

golden ticket to get in cheaper, and run round on a night they wouldn't be able to get into otherwise....

so its assumed the guy is gonna try fucking everything in the club

its assumed he is gonna bother cpls

like many cpls one may have a higher sex drive than the other, the OPknows he's shagging around under her nose- lets assume he is a good positive swinging male and they actually have a happy marriage

almost everything else above thats been posted appears completely negative in my opinion

We are the same but in the reverse, yesterday at Chams is a classic example. I was happy to just lay on a sun lounger and chill out whilst MrsH went and had fun, did not hear anyone complaining about that

I feel what you are doing is acceptable on a mixed night but not a couples only night. We do not go on couples only nights as only one of us plays. If you stick to mixed nights there should not be an issue. On couples only nights couples go because they want to play with couples without the attention of single guys so I do not see where you are going to get your man is going to get his fun anyway. My advice stick to mixed nights, less hassle!

The only rules are the ones you set for yourself - if anyone thinks you are rude tell them to f off. As for taxiying your hubby around - I'm sure you're happy with that but I'm not sure I would be

And be as honest with the club as you are on Fab...and pay the single male membership fee and admission charge, because at the end of the day, that's all you're bringing to the table.

If clubs require you to be a couple, surely that's all they require. I can't see how people can say you can't go as a couple if only one of you plays. We go to clubs and I (the male) never play with anyone else. The wife plays with everyone. Does that mean we should only play the single female entry price? Of course not. Like the OP, we are going as a couple, but behaving in our own way that suits us.

I hate the phrase 'bringing to the table' as if you are deceiving people by going to a club and not playing. When someone goes into a club, they don't owe you anything and they aren't agreeing to bring anything to a table.

Is there some secret tally system where the male and female have to each play a certain amount of times before they are proved to be a genuine couple???? I don't think so. I go purely for my wife to have fun, which in turn makes me happy. I don't think she is leading anyone on by being part of a couple but behaving like she is single. Or are the rules different when a man is enjoying himself like a single man??

Like the OP, we are going as a couple, but behaving in our own way that suits us.

You have to remember that clubs are there as a business not as an upholder of all that is politically correct.

They have a tariff that on mixed nights charges men a lot more than women or couples. The reasons in the swinging world for that are obvious.

Couples are accepted in good faith to add to the male / female mix which a swingers club requires to function. Very often they do make the rule that if a couple comes together as a couple they play as a couple or abstain as a couple, to ensure that in the play areas the right balance is maintained. If a couple decides to play separately, then that's usually fine too as the ratio of male players to female players is still the same.

Why then should a club offer a discounted admission to a couple when the female does not want to play? Yes I hate the term "bringing to the table" too, but lets be frank about this...bringing a non-playing female in to simply get cheaper admission is conning the club out of income. So why should the club stand for it? Why shouldn't the club charge as for a single guy if the male half of a couple behaves effectively exactly like that?

still not seeing what the issue is

all I will ASSUME is that many of the above think this guy is having his cake and eating it...possibly a little derogatory to the female half, as it appears shes rather 'stupid'

I'll take it on face value the fem half made the post..again..I might assume everyone else thinks its him posting...

anyone ever been to a club/party and not played?-just enjoyed the atmosphere?

that IS what swingers normally do..altho will ASSUME many posts above tend to be saying..if ur not shagging get out and take ur partner with u...no time for tolerance in this club...

I've ASSUMED alot..havent I?

At no point has the OP mentioned they go as a couple to get cheaper entry. That's just something that everyone on here has decided.

it's her prerogative to play how she wants, and his to play how he wants. We all go on about 'do what's comfortable for you both as a couple' but everyone appears to be getting arsey about exactly that when it looks like someone is getting something out of the deal that they aren't.

what if halfway through the night someone's partner said 'i dont fancy playing tonight, but you go ahead', would they then have to go back to reception and pay additional entry?

What if she decides to play one night? Would she have to get a refund first as she can't officially play if he had entered as a single?

They aren't deceiving anyone. If anyone plays with him, it's their choice.

They are a couple swinging in the way that suits them, if other people do our don't like it is irrelevant. If they don't like it, don't play with them.

Hello OP, I get where you are at, I used to go to clubs and ended up feeling like a piece of meat, not a great feeling. I ended up turning to fab so that I could have 1 to 1's instead! Much, Much better in my opinion. Clearly you don't mind OH playing otherwise you wouldn't drive him. But you don't say if you would like to play, is it only the feeling of being a piece of meat that puts you off? If so talk to hubby and see how he would feel about you trying 1 to 1, or maybe an MMF with your hubby that way you may well feel more comfortable! Whatever you decide its your life hun and don't worry about other peoples rules. Good Luck x

I'dsay that 70% of my club visits end up being social only. At the moment my health isn't great so I'm not playing but have been actively encouraged by my local club to keep coming.

They may be a business but they get very little from me when I attend except for the pleasure of my company! As a single female I rarely pay and if I do its a fiver, I'll maybe have one soft drink and I'm not even wearing revealing outfits right now! But I get an incredibly warm welcome and am never made to feel like a spare part.

Why should she drop him and leave him? Why shouldn't they pay couples charges? There are plenty of couples who play separately, not always but it happens - perhaps one is not in the mood, perhaps she's got aunt flo visiting, perhaps one doesn't fancy anyone that night but the other fancies (and is getting fancied in return by) everyone, perhaps one is tired and has had a crappy week and just wants to chill quietly while the other has the raging horn. It happens, and more often than you'd think.

Brighton - even Hove!

Depends what you're reading on your Kindle.

Seriously, have a little more self confidence and self esteem as from your original post it reads as though you could develop that a bit more. If the club owners are happy for you to chill, have a drink and read - why not? I bet you still get approached by men though: "wotcha reading? 50 shades? Hur hur hur wanna see the real thing? Hu hur hur"

"...Why should she drop him and leave him? Why shouldn't they pay couples charges? ..."

Because it's been seen that where a club allows that to happen, properly single guys will find or pay for a woman to come in with them "as a couple" the guy sits the woman down at a table, buys the woman a can of , plays away to his heart's content, while she is trying to make the last a long time, and then gives her a lift home at the end of the night.

It's been done before, and it's the reason why clubs have "come as a couple play as a couple" rules.

Now imagine if that rule didn't exist and all the single guys did this trick...

As the f part of this couple who prefers and gets of on her hubby playing rather then playing herself I find alot of the above posts ridiculous and judgemental.

In clubs I see a lot of guys who happily let there wife play with men they feel comfortable with and don't get involved themselves why is this not questioned or the validity of there relationship put under scrutiny like it seems to be the other way round.

Going to a club I would make sure any fem or couple knew exactly my stance and what I was comfortable with.

It does seem there are double standards for some people on here.

pretty sure the point is that this GUY is a couple..and not SINGLE

sounds like they visit a club regularly

let the club scrutinize the validity

this is not about FAB and misleading profiles
