"The trouble with self morality is that it makes everyone moral - including Hitler ... " Well yeah. But that's the point isn't it, he thought what he was doing was right. You can argue he was wrong, and i agree he was wrong, but you can actually make arguments that would make him right as well. None of them are right or wrong if you base them on logic, but base them on emotions and it's a whole different story. | |||

"Immoral is doing it in secret behind the others halves back. Swingers (well most) share it all no secrets...... That's the difference in my eyes. " That proves the point that swingers are no different From none swingers. We have all got our limits and we all judge. | |||

"Depends what sort or morality you find important. I myself are happy to say I'm completely immoral when it comes to running round clubs naked, leaping on unsuspecting gentlemen. But when it comes to murder and other nefarious deeds, I'm pretty moral. And there is the fact that I don't care what most people think." What you say, pretty much mirrors my view. I guess there are certain sets of morals, that I don't see in the same way as others do. | |||

"Voltaire said "Every man is a creature of the age in which he lives and few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of the time." So perhaps rather than being immoral, we're just the forward thinking few... " Or the flip side is, we're keeping up old traditions. Look at the Romans! | |||

"As with a lot of these kinds of things, it says more about the person making the comment than it does the person their saying it to. As a great man once said... Old lady judges, watch people in pairs Limited in sex, they dare To push FAKE MORALS, insult and stare" Whoever the great man was, he was dead right! | |||

"Morality is relative. Our frame of reference determines what we see as moral or immoral. I would guess that our actions would be seen as immoral from the frame of reference of the majority, even if there is a degree of hypocrisy in some of the judgements. Our own frame of reference will determine whether we see our own actions as immoral or not, band our conscience will determine how we feel about that I guess. " You do have a great way with words Doc! I'm sticking to my own set of morals anyway. They've served me well, thus far. | |||

"I have been informed today that I am immoral. One reason given was that I have been to a Swingers Club. I decided to look up the Oxford Dictionary definition of immoral. They define it as :-Not conforming to accepted standards of morality: ‘unseemly and immoral behaviour’. Wiki states "while the meaning of sexual immorality has been drastically redefined in recent times, arguably the boundaries of what is acceptable remain publicly policed." I. perhaps wrongly, don't think of myself as being immoral. Though reading, that I guess, a lot of the general public don't see Swingers Club as normal and everyday. Plus being on a site like this, isn't the norm. There are many who take the moral high ground without just cause. I'm just interested though, if others think we have no morals, so are in effect, immoral? " If you want to define morality, just look at the Victorian's. The were all supposedly prim and proper even putting skirts around piano legs. However in truth there were more child prostitutes than at any other time in history. As long as you are not hurting anyone and not forcing anyone to do anything against their will you have the moral high ground as far as I'm concerned. | |||

All we can do is act according to the direction of our compass and make corrections if we notice we've strayed off course | |||

"just to throw this comment in. I haven't read the whole thread but when I glanced through no one has mentioned the word Amoral or maybe they have so apologies there. This is described in the dictionary as a person that has no morals. I personally do not class myself in that category. Question is are people getting confused between amorality or immorality" Sorry I meant to say did the person who described you as immoral infact mean amoral. LOL | |||

Question is are people getting confused between amorality or immorality" I imagine anyone who could be described as amoral would be sectioned or locked up by now. Amoral and immoral are blurred by the frame of reference of the individual. Someone may consider another to have no morals but that is by judging them against their own or their chosen community's moral code. What they may mean is that their actions are immoral compared to their code. To be amoral would, in my mind, only be possible if the person had no understanding of their own frame of reference and acted purely on impulse. | |||

I am under no illusion - casual sex in itself is outside the accepted morality of just about every society, whether or not one visits a club. And yet we will each have our own boundaries of exactly what behaviour is acceptable or not, under what circumstances. I act according to my conscience and my taste mostly, though I might sail close to the wind sometimes even in my own view. | |||

"I'm more promiscuous than immoral " and more lovely than promiscuous? People judge morality by their own standards, and many of whomthose round trying to justify their own actions. How many paedophile priests are there? Or secret wife beaters? All in all, we are in a peer group that enjoys and celebrates our physicality and contact with other like minded consenting adults. In my short time on these forums I have found more open minded acceptance than almost anywhere else, and that sense of community is rare in this day and age. In the grand scheme of things, does it matter what someone else, who knows little or nothing about this, thinks? No. Same as they should not care how someone else thinks about their life. If you criticised how they brought up their children they would get indignant, but as a member of a swinging site you have no right to defend yourself? Ludicrous. | |||
