Do you think you are lacking in self-respect because you are on this site and living this lifestyle?

Why self confidence? Don't you need some to get out there and meet strangers?

"Do you think you are lacking in self-respect because you are on this site and living this lifestyle?

No, I think that kind of approach simply relies on what others think of you - and that is not self-respect.

I live my life by my rules and that gives me my self-respect which includes being in charge of my own sexuality and having the sex life I choose to have.

It's only types of confidence I am short of. I'm happy enough going to a club or event by myself.

Why is it bizarre?

It was on my mind as someone who used to be on here, for some considerable time, commented that me remaining on here showed that I have little or no respect for myself along with the others on here.

I didn't expect people to all answer that they don't respect themselves but the qualifications and additions to what people respond are interesting to read.

Before we joined and in fact before we started with our first guy, which came way before our Fab profile, Lola and I had many evenings, with no telly on and talked and talked about what we both wanted and what pitfalls we could foresee. But low self esteem or self respect was never an issue for us in all those discussions. Surely, you wouldn't survive in this lifestyle very long without it being intact.

I think some people do have low self esteem and they use this as a way of boosting it. Lots of people have admitted it on other threads.

I think there's a percentage on here who are sadly.

Scratch beneath the surface of many, and they seem a little lonely or broken. Quite an indictment to make I know.

We all know this site is much more than a classic swingers point of connection. It draws all sorts, and I think there are many who intimate they don't wish to be. Take a look at some of the status updates of some to see ?

I hope they find it.

I'd be amazed if anyone said yes to this question because it's 'loaded', it basically asks people who are active in this lifestyle whether the lifestyle is 'acceptable'.

A different angle would have been to ask whether people on here felt that wider society would percieve them as lacking in self respect because they are on this site.

Once you get past the flood of 'i don't care what other people think' type answers, it would be interesting to see the overall _iew.

That's an interesting question OP!

Must admit to singing that song when I saw the thread title, so I guess my self respect is in question. I wonder though, I've always been a bit non conformist, and somewhat of a mad hatter, but that doesnt mean I lack self respect. If anything, I am more acutely aware. Aware of how I conduct myself, and interact with others. I'm here to have my mind tickled too, not just my body.

So Lickety, where do you stand on this question?

On the occasional club night we admit we may have participated with a few that we wouldn't have chosen to in vanilla life .

If that means we have lost a bit of self respect then the answer is yes .

However this is our escape from that life and whatever happens is good with us and we don't feel like we have lost any self respect being on here at all .

Not sure if it was intended by the OP, but you are right , it is a loaded question. Rightly or wrongly 'self respect' as regards sexual activity is a social mantra we all indoctrinated into.

Therefore stepping outside of societies sexual 'norms', conflicts and compromises accepted 'respectable' sexual behavior. Invariably many struggle with this.

One has only to remember in less enlightened times, the feeling of self disgust, and self loathing articulated by many homosexuals because of this conflict.

My self respect is intact. My integrity does not feel at risk. I am very open about what I do and being here and do not fear exposure or risk extortion to protect my professional life.

I can identify with the club scenario. It took me a little while of experimenting and having I must never do that again moments before finding what works for me. I am fussy and even when that frustrates it does not compromise my self respect.

That's a totally different question though. 'Society' in general hasn't a clue what this is all about. 'They' can't make an informed judgement, so what 'they' think is irrelevant.

It's how we feel about ourselves that matters. 'Society' already judges me quite wrongly on other things and can, quite frankly, take a running jump.

The question is how we feel about ourselves and if we agree with the statement made to Lickety, which was made by another swinger. At least, an ex-swinger.

So what 'society' thinks is nothing to do with it.

pretty much the same as us, we discussed it for about 18 months before dipping ones toes in..

not sure i get the low self esteem angle but respect others will have done so to boost their own low self esteem, think you need to be sorted with that as lets be honest if your first experience is a bad one the chances are an already low self esteem may be damaged even further..

our first meet went pretty bandy tbh, but we discussed it put it down to experience and learnt from it..

I don't think it could be pinned down because people are on here for so many different reasons.

The gut reaction though:

to couples - tittering/deviants/something wrong with their relationships/weirdos

Single men - typical!

Single women - slag

Which is why most of us keep it private, despite how we might like to kid ourselves we don't care what others think. Though maybe it's because we have self respect that we keep it quiet?

Come to think of it - what is self respect?

I'd be amazed if anyone said yes to this question because it's 'loaded', it basically asks people who are active in this lifestyle whether the lifestyle is 'acceptable'.

A different angle would have been to ask whether people on here felt that wider society would percieve them as lacking in self respect because they are on this site.

Once you get past the flood of 'i don't care what other people think' type answers, it would be interesting to see the overall _iew.

I don't think it could be pinned down because people are on here for so many different reasons.

The gut reaction though:

to couples - tittering/deviants/something wrong with their relationships/weirdos

Single men - typical!

Single women - slag

Which is why most of us keep it private, despite how we might like to kid ourselves we don't care what others think. Though maybe it's because we have self respect that we keep it quiet?

Come to think of it - what is self respect?"

I have been pondering that too. Is it linked to morals, external society or an innate sense of right/wrong and self?

Think you loose all self respect if you have no real control and just sleep with anything regardless if you don't take into consideration what most people look for with potential meets e.g. Attraction , sexual connection , getting to know someone first and obviously having standards !

i think people who live their life doing what they do because its the thing to do, and not doing what they want to do, havnt got much self respect.

then there are women on here with such low self esteem that they are grateful for the attention of almost any man, they cant have much self respect.

Personally this site has boosted my self confidence.

I did question if it was wrong to be into this lifestyle while I have kids but FD said he thinks it's something that comes with age, the older you get the more you want to experience, which is true.

I believe I'm just a wrongun and always have been.

Self respect is fully in tact

Whoa! Bit of a wild statement and assumption. It seems to me your own moral judgement plays up here. Could it be possible that sex with just anybody is a deliberate choice for a woman without her selfrespect having taken a nosedive? That perhaps other issues weigh heavier for her?

I can see where you're coming from. I think I would lose my own self-respect if I had the male "any hole's a goal" mentality. I cannot see it happening because if it's just an orgasm I want I use my rabbit. I'm here for a total experience.

However I don't judge others for their "any hole's a goal" mentality because it is simply their choice.

Maybe if a person was shagging everything that moved never cared about nothing or no one not even themselves yes maybe lacking in respect as not going to gum and putting others at risk and themselves.

Many people make assumptions or judgements using their own yardstick. This yardstick may be made due to life experiences or how people think they would act in the same situation. Both of these ways are faulty, simply because we haven't lived the life of that other person.

We only know the world according to ourselves, we are no better or worse than any other. Unfortunately when we make judgements we can come across as superior to others, and sometimes we do not mean to be harsh and should turn assumptions into questions.

"nah, gotta be able to love and respect yourself before you can have relax and have fun with other people x

this..

would add that a cpl both need to have the utmost respect for each other before venturing into this aspect..

Before we joined and in fact before we started with our first guy, which came way before our Fab profile, Lola and I had many evenings, with no telly on and talked and talked about what we both wanted and what pitfalls we could foresee. But low self esteem or self respect was never an issue for us in all those discussions. Surely, you wouldn't survive in this lifestyle very long without it being intact.

pretty much the same as us, we discussed it for about 18 months before dipping ones toes in..

not sure i get the low self esteem angle but respect others will have done so to boost their own low self esteem, think you need to be sorted with that as lets be honest if your first experience is a bad one the chances are an already low self esteem may be damaged even further..

our first meet went pretty bandy tbh, but we discussed it put it down to experience and learnt from it..

"

Glad you pushed past the first bad experience to more enjoyable times!

I think I included esteem along with respect as a rose by any other name, nothing more than that.

Those who suggest that people who are sexually liberated are lacking in self-respect may have a strange outlook on it. They seem to be assuming that self-respect comes from how others may _iew your lifestyle. It is clearly judgemental and, what is more, contrary to the term SELF-respect.

"Do you think you are lacking in self-respect because you are on this site and living this lifestyle?

I'd be amazed if anyone said yes to this question because it's 'loaded', it basically asks people who are active in this lifestyle whether the lifestyle is 'acceptable'.

A different angle would have been to ask whether people on here felt that wider society would percieve them as lacking in self respect because they are on this site.

Once you get past the flood of 'i don't care what other people think' type answers, it would be interesting to see the overall _iew.

That's a totally different question though. 'Society' in general hasn't a clue what this is all about. 'They' can't make an informed judgement, so what 'they' think is irrelevant.

It's how we feel about ourselves that matters. 'Society' already judges me quite wrongly on other things and can, quite frankly, take a running jump.

The question is how we feel about ourselves and if we agree with the statement made to Lickety, which was made by another swinger. At least, an ex-swinger.

So what 'society' thinks is nothing to do with it."

Respect is a judgement call. It is based in value which is a measurement. The 'scale' of measures used to quantify that value has been constructed by your societies norms.

Level of self respect or the level of self value would have no base or measure without wider society imposing it's norm and attempting to predetermine what is respectful behavior.

If this lifestyle was societies norm then the question of self respect of those participating in it would never be asked.

I don't accept societies norm as my 'barometer' when I think about this aspect of my lifestyle, so I choose not to accept someone elses ascertion that I should reflect and self judge.

Nobody has asserted that you should reflect and judge yourself.

A question was asked and people can choose to answer it or not.

If you think it's a crap question and that you have a better one, start a new thread and ask it rather than trying to drag the discussion off course.

It's interesting that you think what 'society' thinks is the basis of how an individual feels about him or herself. I disagree that that is always the case.

We certainly don't lack self respect and actually respect others that have chosen to participate in the swing scene..

I ask many questions.

You didn't answer my question, so do you lack self respect? "

Sorry, I didn't realise you had asked me that question seriously. No I don't but I have answered this a couple of times on the thread already.

I don't expect full exposure. I don't even expect full nakedness. I don't see the point in pretending to be something I am not as it just sounds like hard work.

I'm honest on my profile. My real age and size are there. The photos are of me and are recent. Everything I say about myself is true. I even say I'm not beautiful.

I don't have any criminal convictions and wouldn't mention them if I did because I wouldn't consider it relevant to meets for casual sex.

Of course, what I consider my bad points and what someone else would consider my bad points will differ anyway.

I can't understand why you'd want to be here if you think everyone here is pretending to be something they're not.

"

Nobody has asserted that you should reflect and judge yourself.

A question was asked and people can choose to answer it or not.

If you think it's a crap question and that you have a better one, start a new thread and ask it rather than trying to drag the discussion off course.

It's interesting that you think what 'society' thinks is the basis of how an individual feels about him or herself. I disagree that that is always the case."

I have in no way suggested it is a 'crap question', you clearly do not understand the point I am making.

The Ops question asks that you 'reflect and judge yourself'. Can you not see that?

The Op has been kind enough to explain what lead to her raising the question. I believe the ex swinger who had engaged with her was asking her to reflect and judge herself against his predetermined _iew of societies norms.

Maybe I haven't made myself clear (that's for others to decide), but just because you don't understand my answer it doesn't mean I haven't answered the Ops question.

Can you not see that asking people to examine how they feel is not the same as asserting that anyone should? Nobody asserted that you should do anything.

Your first response to the question was to suggest a better question would be something else entirely, which wouldn't have addressed what Lickety was wondering as a result of the comment made to her. That wasn't an answer.

If someone can't get partners in the "real world" they are unlikely to be successful here either.

One of your listed requirements, the meet for coffee one, is to check both parties are who and what they say they are. If they've been dishonest, I walk away.

I'm not ashamed of it at all but, like I said, this is casual sex. No strings.

Why do they need to know my name? Especially since you said when picking a woman up in a bar you don't have to remember her name like it's a good thing.

If you don't want the hassle of remembering a name, does it matter if you never know it?

Ah, so you should just send a fancy a fuck message then without either of you knowing what the other looks like, but knowing all about their exact weight and convictions, should meet immediately for sex. That would be casual sex would it?

No place or need for actual attraction, or to know anything about the person or to be able to suss out a total stranger you're about to spend alone time with, to check they're not a nutter or stinky.

Casual. Any time with anyone who asks. Right?

I'm showing my face in my avatar. How do you equate that to being ashamed exactly?!

A lot of people use an initial or a different name on here - including men - until they know someone. Some never give their real name. Some enjoy the anonymous encounters.

Taking steps to protect ones privacy and safety is not the same as being ashamed. Perhaps you've never considered how a single woman might feel meeting a stranger and the risk she might be taking. Of course she'll want to take steps to minimise that risk.

People get to use the site and conduct their meets the way they wish, not how you think they should.

Why if you think everyone here is a fake and that you have to write essays and take selfies and go on coffee meets, are you here? If picking up women in bars is easier, do that. If not, do what you need to do to get what you want, or go without.

"But its not casual sex is it. You have to write a essay. Take loads of selfys meet for a coffee and then maybe if your Lucky you may get laid. what the f***s casual about that?

You don't have to remember their birthday.

If you pick a girl up in a bar. You dont even have to remember her name lol

So do that then if it suits you better.

Bitterness isn't appealing.

As for remembering my name, some of my meets never know my real name.

Why hide your identity. Are you really that ashamed of what you are doing?

I'm not ashamed of it at all but, like I said, this is casual sex. No strings.

Why do they need to know my name? Especially since you said when picking a woman up in a bar you don't have to remember her name like it's a good thing.

If you don't want the hassle of remembering a name, does it matter if you never know it? no but I wouldnt make up a name thats just weird. If your that ashamed then you shouldn't do it

I'm showing my face in my avatar. How do you equate that to being ashamed exactly?!

A lot of people use an initial or a different name on here - including men - until they know someone. Some never give their real name. Some enjoy the anonymous encounters.

Taking steps to protect ones privacy and safety is not the same as being ashamed. Perhaps you've never considered how a single woman might feel meeting a stranger and the risk she might be taking. Of course she'll want to take steps to minimise that risk.

People get to use the site and conduct their meets the way they wish, not how you think they should.

Why if you think everyone here is a fake and that you have to write essays and take selfies and go on coffee meets, are you here? If picking up women in bars is easier, do that. If not, do what you need to do to get what you want, or go without.

Ok so your parents know your on hear. I take it you havr told your freinds and colleges then? "

all these questions you are posing to a single woman, unless you can answer them positively, you have no right to ask them.

do your friends and family know you are on here?

do you use your real name?

why isnt your face on your profile, in fact, why is your profile hidden?

are you ashamed of what you do?

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Thank you all for your comments on self-respect and other things.

Enjoy yourself. Those feeling low in self-esteem, confidence and respect take a moment to think what is holding you in that position.

These beliefs are just thoughts in your mind and you can change your mind.

"

Can you not see that asking people to examine how they feel is not the same as asserting that anyone should? Nobody asserted that you should do anything.

"

Respect and measuring respect is a societal

norm, this includes self respect. This norm has become an expectation. Society has indoctrinated almost every women into questioning her self respect if she's promiscuous never mind on a swingers website! So people outside swinging have already decided that those inside the scene are lacking in self respect (generalisation).

If swinging was a societal norm the question of self respect would never come up.

My opinion is that anyone who is part of, understands and accepts this lifestyle would not see a conflict with it and self respect.

Understanding it being key among those I think. Well, if people all agreed on what 'it' is!
