"aren't swingers sexual athletes and the non swingers vanilla......" That makes me neither a swinger nor a non-swinger which is impossible. I've just disappeared through some kind of quantum effect as a result. Someone please send Funky or 'vic to rescue me. | |||

I think that's the implication in the op." Technically that's true though, in part. Nobody should expect instant sex. That's not to say some aren't willing to do it and that some won't get it. It shouldn't be expected though. To me that seems like common sense but then perhaps that's because I'm seeing it from a female point of _iew. I can see how graphic veris could be misleading though. Still, even so, should that not incline men to expect instant sex from women with such veris rather than from every woman here? | |||

"You could be right. A phrase often repeated is "this isn't instashag" but I frequently read how x turned up and "we couldn't keep our hands off each other so got right.down to it in the hallway" and words to that effect. Also people write on their profile that they want to play first meet as their timeis limited. Mixed messages if you ask me." Playing on the first meet doesn't always mean it is an instashag , as in they asked for a shag and you said yes come on over. It might mean that they have done all the talking they need and if they meet and get on in real life then the play happens | |||

"Doesn't swinging involve a degree of objectification anyway? " No, I don't think it needs to. I don't consider any of the men I chat to or meet as objects to fill a need. They're individual people I am attracted to with whom I hope to spend some mutually enjoyable time. | |||

And graphic minute by minute descriptions of what happened during the meet. Does it reduce people to objects and make it seem like some sort of sex menu? Pick the one you want....?" I think veris are frequently used to give people the wrong idea about all sorts of things - either to 'big up' the writer, to enter into a pissing contest with other veris, or to court favour with the recipient, sometimes by 'selling' them like some cheap advertising pitch. Nauseating. I was naive enough to be taken in a couple of times when I came here, especially with veris by someone I 'knew', because I am so straight in my own approach, I tend to take things at face value. And yes, some veris do read like a sex experience shopping list, I am sure the people who display dozens of graphic veris will be objectified in that way - others in other ways too I would guess. Nsa sex is prone to being de-personalised of it's nature. Objectification is treating someone 'without regard to their dignity' according to wiki, good phrase. I reckon that happens a lot on here, bottom we are all here to meet our own needs/wants, and that is not an altruistic starting point. | |||

A lot are ultimately a way of the leaver of the veri using it as a boast about themselves - look how amazing and hot and what incredible sexual prowess this person has, so imagine how wonderful I must be to have pulled them. All have to be taken with a very large pinch of salt. | |||

You think anyone on here would advise that it's realistic to expect anything on here? Desire? Yes. Hope for? Yes. Ask for? Yes. Expect? Recipe for disappointment. I struggle to believe anyone would advise that anyone can expect replies/meets/sex. Maybe it's possible but I'm having great difficulty believing it. The best way to enjoy this place is take it as it comes, be patient and expect nothing. Most seem to either realise this or moan about their expectations not being met. | |||

"My personal dislike when reading veri's is the phrase "Treat them/her well" ........." But sometimes it's genuine - I was telling one of my regular meets how someone had been really messing with my head and he wrote something similar in a veri - but out of real concern I feel. If I feel a veri is too cliched I won't display. | |||

What you and others advise people to do wont suit everyone. | |||

"Do you think verifications give newbies the wrong idea about swinging/ this site?" As newbies both to swinging, and this site, we would say no. We love both the veries, and peoples profiles, since they indicate who prefer to start slow, who likes what, and how far people go either on a first, or subsequent meet. It helps us find people who we are likely to click with, and who may be happy with us. If anything they demonstrate the wide variety of people in this lifestyle, which in turn makes us feel more comfortable dipping our toes in (or occasionally jumping in with both feet!) It is also fun, once you spot a fake profile, chasing down the threads of verifications to flag up other suspect profiles (like the one who had a meet with someone who, at the same time, was verifying four other people on cam - talk about multi-tasking!) But yes, we would never display an explicit veri, but that's just our personal preference. | |||

It can be good and bad. It's good for recommendation purpose. But then again youll get those who think those people will fuck everyone and I'm sure they get bombarded with messages. Personally I'll say tell those you meet or fuck, to tone down the details in their comments. A simple " met so so and so today and she was easy to talk and funny and whatever and I'd love to meet her again" | |||
