Why is swinging in Ireland so secretive? The majority of our experience has been in the uk where it's more acceptable. Why is it still regarded as a taboo here? Any thoughts people?

Simple it's the good old Catholic guilt.

In our case it's our business if we want someone to know we tell them.

Catholic Ireland hasn't got over the fact that sex between consenting adults can be for pure pleasure - not just pro-creation within matriomony.

That, and the Gutter Press use anything remotely sexual to 'expose' the less religious!

Seriously...... Religion!!! I didn't expect religion to be a factor. We're Catholic as our friends who like the scene.

Sadly no.

There is also the 'Small World' Syndrome to get past.

In Ireland no matter where folks go - they are related to/know the neighbour of and more likely worked with/went to school with/went out with the sister [or brother] of just about anyone else in the province. Making avoiding certain venues that are off-limits because of the potential to run into folks who know their Mammie/Granny or both!

When you want to keep your private life - private, these things have to be considered.

Give Ireland another couple of generations, and things might relax.

Pardon my ignorance but if you met someone you knew surely that would just mean they are into the same scene as you. We bumped into someone we knew at a party once and it just made us all laugh

Not necessarily - the other person may be frequently a venue for reasons other than the social. For example - working in the bar; gigging etc

and just because they are known to you, doesn't equate to being friends/friendly with them. Acquaintances/enemies are as likely to be in a venue as friends.

I know one event where a female arrived to enjoy the first part of the night - and when leaving to go to work almost crossed paths with her brother arriving after his shift had ended. Neither had known each other were on the site/going to an event. The Event Organiser hadn't known - but the Barman knew both of them.
