Lot of our friends we made over 18 years of swinging seem to be leaving fab like they are giving up on the scene . Will it ever be what it was or is the swinging scene finished ?

I like the forum interaction and the cam rooms. Not too bothered about no swinging as such.

Well obviously it's dead at moment so maybe they think it's time wasting as meetings not happening. I think there will be a huge surge in action when things do get back to meeting after social distancing over

It won't die but it will evolve like all things. You just need To decide if you are willing to evolve with it or not I guess.

People will continue to live their liberal lifestyles if they wish, this pandemic has brought restrictions but a world with no human contact and interaction of the naughty kind is not the world I hope will continue, life will return clubs will reopen parties commence and like minded people meet, some may leave the scene but that’s a personal choice xx

Well without wanting to sound negative.

Apart from the shocking deaths and illness that has happened.

The next biggest thing I have personally noticed that has come from the pandemic is how selfish people are and ignorant to public and personal health.

It has certainly made us really consider how/if we are going to

Continue once things settle down.

As many have said if people are things blase and irresponsible about a life threatening virus, they really are not going to give a flying fuck who and what they fuck.

I fully expect to see an explosion of STDs once restrictions lifted.

its possible that some people have realised, in the grand scheme of things, that the swinging "scene" or fab in general are not the be all end all.

im sure most will still enjoy certain aspects without feeling the need to be involved in other aspects.

This. The amount of selfish, entitled people disgusts me, being asked to make a small sacrifice to help save lives so we can get through this as quick as possible, imagine the hardest thing you’ve been asked to do in your life is stay at home and wear a mask when you’re out then you’ve lead a privilege life.

Absolutely on board with this thought process.

It's bad enough seeing the numbers of infected and deaths on the news, but when you're contacted by someone or see someone still trying to hook up via status updates it then becomes personal. It's like you're being told "your life and health means nothing to me, I really don't care if YOU become another statistic, another number on the news and if you do? Don't matter, you fulfilled MY 'need' for that moment and that's what's important to me"

Makes me think that humankind really is shameful. If these people are prepared to take your life, your health, your future away, they'd have no issue taking anything else from you, being rifling through your possessions if they were in your home, ignoring your own rules and boundaries etc.

You mean nothing, your life is worth nothing. That's the message it sends to me anyway.

Totally agree. It has been a real eye opener seeing just how incredibly entitled & selfish a huge percentage of the population are. It has brought out the very worst in some people, but thankfully it has also shown that there are still some genuinely good, selfless, people in the world as well.

It also makes me think if that huge amount can be so brazen about it, then there's sure as hell more that are being more sneaky about it and not so in your face with it all. It adds fuel to the fact I already struggle to trust people.

Surely in its original form the swing scene is done for ?

That's not to say it can't be ' re born' but I'd say in a totally different way with more emphasis on the virtual than the real ? And smaller ' vetted' groups maybe who are all sure if each others clean bill of health and can prove it .

Simply can't have open venues where people are that kind of close to eachother again as they used to be or wanting to meet strangers at weekends at their place etc .. can't be allowed to happen surely ? Or could it ?

Just my opinion of course .

Do you not think it could be like a post coital fag? So people have their release and then chill into a nice chat afterwards ?

Surely I'm not the only single on here who enjoys a proper chat ?

I liken it to the dance music scene in the late 80s early 90s. My friends and I were out every weekend, in fields, in sweaty leisure centres, in clubs, we raved and we danced and we thought it would never end.

Then some people stopped turning up and the crowd I hung about with got smaller, eventually I moved and hung up my Adidas Gazelles......

But dance music didn’t stop, it changed, and as I got older and other life-things got in the way, I just stopped going.

Like any “scene”, it evolves and either you evolve with it or you find other interests. There will always be a swinging scene, but it will change over time and the regulars you once knew will be the memories you recall.

I'm not convinced that people leaving Fab is directly linked to the current situation. My feed this morning was full of people wanting lemo, along with free site supporter access. It feels like a proliferation of idiots have discovered Fab of late.

I'm sure it will improve and some of your acquaintances will return. Hang in there!

It's a bit like the site has become a victim of its own success.

Swinging for me is about trust, honesty, respect and respect for rules and boundaries etc. Those values are getting lost.

How I go about my sexual exploration will evolve. I’m yet to know exactly how and I am unconcerned that I don’t know. I have a couple of intentions but I wouldn’t call them plans.

One thing for sure is I’ll be in a better place as a human being post pandemic than I was before.

Yeah I get that. My background is BDSM, that scene has dramatically altered with the 50 shades rubbish.

We are a throwaway society, but some of the things we are discarding we should be keeping.

I'd already given myself the timeline of the next Brum social as to whether I leave the scene or not. If it wasn't for the forums I'd be long gone anyway as I'm well aware that to 90% of the site I'm just another vag that can't get enough cock, a right slut who drops her knickers at the thought of a throbbing cock. I must be, I'm on a site like this..

Clubs were always my "safe place" but even there I've had the odd chap de-sheath when they think you're distracted. I was lucky that I heard the snap of the condom being hurriedly removed as I went from my back to doggy, quickly reached my hand back to check and yep, bare cock.

I've lost a few people I cared about.

They were lovely to me and gave me wonderful experiences.

Some just stopped,others moved further away or abroad.

I still hear from them now and then which is nice that they remember me.

Be nice to find people like that again
