I've just had to remove someone from my friends list because he thought it was acceptable to show my 'friends only' pics to a mate of his who isn't a member. I'm sure this has happened to other people. Am I over-reacting or am I right in feeling this is wrong?!

Are you implying that people who use a swinging site have no morals? Or that some people ie this particular person has no morals?!

I had this. A guy I've known awhile joined fab and messaged me, after I realised who it was and we exchanged a few messages we arranged to meet once he got back from working away. Shortly after that I bumped into his best mate while we were on a night out, he made some comment about me being on 'that site' and 'nice pics' later I found out it was the guy who told him.

Sent him a message saying I no longer wanted to meet him and blocked him.

Surely people have more respect for others then to go do that . What was going through that persons head ? Was he aiming for brownie points from his friend ?

Glad that you have removed them from your friends list . I would also block them .

A lot of trust is needed in swinging . They haven't gone the best way of gaining it .

I was joking sweetie!

Everyone seems a little tetchy today?

I think people on here and from the 'scene' have a lot clearer and honest _iew on their own personal morals standards than anyone else.

I'm a practicing Christian, and yet, I'm on here. No, I wasn't having a pop at anyone on here except the guy in the original post.

This guy was just wrong to share someone's photos without consent.

I think sites like this there has to be trust.

If people break that trust, it says a lot more about them then you.

The need to boost self esteem at someone else's expense wouldn't be a friendship I'd encourage.

it probably happens all the time, i met a man a few years ago then found out he wasnt as nice as i thought he was, i said i didnt want to see him again then i had a message from his mate saying he also wanted to see me and so did his friend who i had just said i didnt want to see again, so i blocked them both.

I think its naive to assume everyone is as honest and trustworthy as you are...if you send intimate pics to complete strangers then you have no control over what happens to them once sent really...whether that is right or wrong...the only person you can 100% trust is yourself...unless of course you are inebriated, horny, and in charge of a phone with whatsapp/kik/instagram and suchlike

Fortunately my 'friends only' pics aren't all that intimate. The problem is having someone uninvited having seen my face. As previous posters have said, what if they approach me in the street? They will possibly feel entitled to do so. Ah well, there are some right arseholes in the world. Put it down to experience!

It's why I don't show many people pics of me naked and never with my face in them. I've only allowed a couple of men to video me sucking them. One who I have known a long time asked me if it was ok to show a friend. He could have anyway and not said anything

Haha quite right. I never send compromising pics now, you have totally no idea where they could end up, especially as we don't really 'know' the people on here (other than in the biblical sense!!).

If you give people permission to see them its always a risk for him to do so without asking is a bit crass would we remove someone? I guess we would really and avoid them from that point.

The site can only work effectively through trust and a certain moral code among members.

When that trust is broken, it reflects badly on everyone

It begs the question why did he tell you ?

The fact he thought you'd be cool with it is, to me, more disrespectful than the actual act and shows his true opinion of the women who use this site.

Ive learned a few things about the odd user that has deterred me from them. It is disappointing that this guy did this, and I hope we all re_iew our friends list as a result. Lists can build up, maybe just people who like to keep looking at your pics - or sharing them. Alot of invites have no intention of meeting, it is curiosity and intrusive delving into our privacy.

The only people who are on my friends list are people I have met. And I never put my face pics anywhere but private. I send those only in messages. So even if I inadvertently accepted a friend request they would not be able to see my face.

Basically happened to us to, we only accept friends invites after meets and then only if we feel we've clicked and we'd like to meet up again. We also never play to near home as everyone seems to know everyone around here.

So was very shocked when a guy we'd turned down for being to close said he'd said he'd say hi next time he saw me walking grankids to school, thought it was a bluff but he named the school and described what I look like. He said he'd seen our pics when someone had left their profile open!! Yeah right, but think we worked out who it was and they soon got taken off our friends list. It's horrible knowing someone local knows who we are but we have no idea who he is

Some people dont have any discretion or tact or any values. That is not just in swinging but also in life. I have been ridiculed and harassed in work due to someone finding me on Fab. They didnt have the tact to come and talk to me but proceeded to tell nearly everyone in work. I am wondering if it is someone on here so am also more cautious about sorting out a meet as my confidence has taken a knock after it all.

I have ignored the comments and jibes thrown at me over the last month and it seems to have worked as it is all quietening down

Initially you would think it's wrong but consider :

1) an online friend isn't any kind of real friend. No responsibility at all.

2) on a site where certain members pride themselves on sending anyone's pics off to places like Tineye of Google Image search. Or worse. Jeez, by now Tineye must have a far bigger collection than Sydney University (not the username guy)could ever hope to have.

In the end in comes down to personal morals, and as someone once sang "Fings ain't what they used to be."

Seriously though, whilst this place might be public by nature along with some of the pictures we share with our friends, it's still a very private part of our live which we choose to share in however limited a way we can - the fact that we share some of it with certain people doesn't make it, or the rest of our private lives, public property though... does it?

Aside from the theft of another's privacy, I've never understood the "bragging right" mentality of those who show their mates pictures of what I presume they see as their "conquests" or whatever. To me, despite the fleeting nature of a meet, it still remains a deeply personal encounter - they see a part of me (no, not just that bit) that I keep just for that special occasion... that's part of why it's so special, as is it's memory. Parading that in front of even one other person just for a laugh would soil it all.

It's a strange dichotomy really - sharing something so personal so openly and yet having to remain so protective of one's privacy. I suppose the only way around it is to choose friends carefully and never put anything you don't want made public anywhere.
