You're getting on great with someone.

Would their previous sexual partners, if known, affect how likely you are to meet them? Positively or negatively.

If they've got a recent negative STD test and they are open about who else they are shagging now (and I trust they are responsible and respect my health) then I don't care about who they've had sex with in the past.

I overthink a lot and part of me can't help but make comparisons and wonder if I "measure up" so to speak. In real life, it's easy enough to avoid because the past is the past but on Fab it's heightened because people are seeing others at the same time and you can feel like you can't escape those thoughts if that makes sense?

Yes and yes then.

Yes if they'd slept with hundreds... Because I would want to be more than just a number or another hole.

And yes it might be a bit awkward if I knew where they'd been before hand, I've said no to people because of this. Too close to home and all that. This is often the problem with the place I live, it's a big city but it's like a village.

On here? Again probably yes, as I wouldn't want to be compared to someone.

But then do we ever really know? We only know what someone tells us

Exactly this. Knowing what a partner generally likes and seeing a massive deviation from this wouldn't be appealing. My last partner from here met some individuals he really didn't find attractive just bc he was getting guaranteed sex so went it. I found this quite off-putting.

In general, no. The only exception I can think of is if I knew they had slept with/were sleeping with someone who I somehow knew took risks with their sexual health - a negative STI test would satisfy the former, but might still be a problem if the sex was ongoing with that person.

Ha. Yes. Taiki Waititi? 100%.

I think I was thinking in terms of couples where they could see a single man and if they'd seen friends had veri'd him than maybe he'd be seen as more reliable? That sort of thing.

There's probably a few exceptions if I think hard enough, but as a general principle I would say no.

How people treat me is usually what I care about.

Now if they tell me about their exploits with previous partners that could influence me. Generally, that's quite a turn on, so much more interesting than a generic listing of sexual desires.

As I know some people start new profiles to wipe veris/meet numbers, it's all a bit hard to decipher who has met who, unless the meet tells you anyway.

It makes perfect sense Joe, I really like your honesty. On Fab you have photos, videos, veris detailing sexual exploits and they're there, clearly detailing, in some cases, the ins and outs of someone's antics with another.

If I like someone then I like someone and I don’t think other things come in to it. It would appear however that others let confidence and self belief get in the way for which I feel sorry about.

Actually this reminds me - I found out that I'd slept with a lady that a friend's partner had previously had a thing with, and occasionally my friend reminds me of that and I wish she wouldn't, although it's never been any kind of issue between me and her partner.

Also, I once had a FWB who ended up meeting one of my friends and going into a serious relationship with them. It was a bit of a stinger for a short while but only a short while and we're all good friends now and it's no issue.

So it can vary depending on the situation.

Yes many people hide all trace from their own profiles but people like the woman you described often proudly show all veris. That is the most common way I find out, promptly adding a warning note to the the profile hiding all trace. Trust me they have popped up twice on this profile and multiple on my last, my warning notes gave me lucky escapes

I used to check her veries, as often people didn't display hers.

Yes many people hide all trace from their own profiles but people like the woman you described often proudly show all veris. That is the most common way I find out, promptly adding a warning note to the the profile hiding all trace. Trust me they have popped up twice on this profile and multiple on my last, my warning notes gave me lucky escapes"

Absolutely, good idea

I don't think private notes was a thing then, but I found a few men I'd chatted to had verified her, but not displayed her verification to them. It's v sneaky,as they'd know it wouldn't do them any good.

Even just clicking on a random profile and following veri trails of people regardless of sex, gender, sexuality etc can often throw up a lot of surprises with some individuals

Something very similar happened to me not that long ago. I was actively chatting to someone with a very high possibility of meeting. I told him the first meet will be social only and he cancelled on the day with some lame excuse. Funnily enough, he displayed a very the next day from a woman who was meeting men for bareback sex only. Luckily escape for me, I guess.

It's weird to be judged by people who don't know you....

I once met a guy a couple of times and after my verification went up on his profile, someone else he had met told him she wouldn't see him anymore cause he met me and I'm a party host.....

I'm not sure what her issue with me greeting all my customers at a party and chatting all night with folks was? I guess she assumed I was bareback banging them all..... . Couldn't be further from the truth ha ha!

There used to be a cross dresser on here who was also a sex worker. He literally had HUNDREDS of verifications and was a complete cum dump, literally almost daily having men go in and sometimes queue. He also had dozens upon dozens of bareback videos and pictures. A lot of these were attractive men who no doubt had wives and girlfriends too.

Are people who saying they would not judge, not be put off by the men who went with him? Even if you say you would practice safe sex, that would have to include safe oral sex. Would it still not put you off a bit?

For sure and showed he was only interested in guaranteed sex.

"I overthink a lot and part of me can't help but make comparisons and wonder if I "measure up" so to speak. In real life, it's easy enough to avoid because the past is the past but on Fab it's heightened because people are seeing others at the same time and you can feel like you can't escape those thoughts if that makes sense?

It makes perfect sense Joe, I really like your honesty. On Fab you have photos, videos, veris detailing sexual exploits and they're there, clearly detailing, in some cases, the ins and outs of someone's antics with another.

If you're the type to compare, find yourself lacking etc it must be tough at times."

Absolutely! I'm trying to get better at letting it go and find I'm good after a little while, but it took/takes some getting used to as I realised those "issues" are mine and shouldn't reflect badly on them

Can I also just add that hundreds of verifications doesn't always mean sex....

Hosting parties has at times meant I've had over 1000, although a majority of which were purely social!

I take each person I meet on their own merit. I think a lot of how anyone behaves, what they enjoy etc. is based around the interaction they have with an individual.

There are some things I do with some people that I don’t do with others and I expect the same is said of my partners. As such, when I meet someone I try to be the best DD for that person, this is enhanced if I know that person (through conversation and expression of desires).

I will say I can be put off by a potential partners seemingly preferred physical type, and I have said no, when I feel meeting that person would make me feel uncomfortable.

Verifications don’t put me off, and I do not trade in gossip

"Apparently, so I am told, it is a common thing for people on a swinging site to have sex with other people. I think it would be a little weird if the fact you found out that they had had sex with other people put you off them.

Is it really? Sure that's not a late April Fool's prank?

Yes, as whateverhernameisatm said, it's more about the who. I was curious as to how others view it - if perhaps lack of confidence, dislike of another, a whole myriad of reasons would have an effect on who they meet.

On a site like Fab, where that's more readily shown/known I thought it might. Like when a woman is discouraged from responding to a man because all veris are from a particular demographic that's far from her own. "

Actually thinking about it I do do this, it hasn't occurred to me before. But if I get propositioned by someone who's verifications are all from super slim, attractive hotties it generally stops me from meeting them as I think they're going to be disappointed when they meet me and I don't understand why they are messaging me in the first place! It has happened a few times. I feel much more comfortable/confident meeting someone where I feel I am more their 'type' I guess.

The only time I could imagine it making a difference is if I know they've previously been with a family member or close friend, that would feel a bit weird.

Number of partners absolutely doesn't matter to me, but I do get judgy so I'd probably make some form of judgement if I knew ex-partners. Wouldn't make a difference to me meeting them, but would factor into how I viewed them alongside everything else.

I never ask about my date’s previous sexual partners or how many. Cause I really don’t wanna know or care to know.

I would absolutely find myself judging. I'm not sure it would stop me meeting if I really liked the person as I've met many people who aren't on here and whose pasts I have zero way of knowing.

It's also easy enough to hide your past on here. People leave every day and come back under new profiles for a variety of reasons. Slate wiped clean.

I think what would be likely to stop me meeting in the extreme scenario outlined is that I'm looking for more of an ongoing situation and I always use condoms - it's highly unlikely someone in that situation would think I was worth the effort of chatting, getting to know each other and having a social when they're more of a straight down to it type.

Dunno, I guess I'd have to actually face that situation to decide whether my feelings for that person would outweigh my judgement on the info I've got.

"You're getting on great with someone.

Would their previous sexual partners, if known, affect how likely you are to meet them? Positively or negatively."

Sometimes, yes. We avoid people on here who know family via here. I avoid certain people who know others as I know their infection history and their lax attitudes to it.

Absolutely, there has been instances where if I know they've played with a particular gezzer then that's a no go fucking go for me....

And with one particular female.

If either of these people were thrown in the mix, then that would bring my barriers right up quickly..

To be honest yes, it can really put me off people if they have a trail of gross, weird or ultra sleazy people they have been with. Fab proves many people shag anything with a pulse I have been left really surprised at who has been with who on here. I know it sounds judgemental, I admit it is "

You're owning that though, aren't you? I think everyone judges to a certain extent. Makes decisions about what they're comfortable with, who they want to have sex with.

People can be quick to say "oh but it's a sex site", "it shouldn't matter" but to some it does. If it doesn't? Cool. If it does? That's also cool. You find those you're compatible with.
