"I don't think so. There are only certain people I'll talk to outside of fab that has sex as the topic of conversation. **There are people who I know from the outside world who have seen me on here though, and even though we have worked together in the past, they now only seem to think I'm worthy of sex talk, which is quite annoying." ** | |||

I started typing out the examples of attitudes that illustrate this but there were too many. | |||

"Even on Fab there is a degree of normality compared to some. Non conformists have character which has what built this colourful world of ours. If nobody stepped outside the box, pushed themselves, explored their boundaries, normal would be very bland. " I think this is more about the people who mistake the fantasy element of fab for reality. For example the number of threads from men who assume that friendliness from a woman means she's interested in sex or the guy who because his partner enjoys variety in their sex life assumes she wants a gang bang. I'm sorry to use men in both my examples but in my experience it usually is the guys who think because they read a fantasy about flashing think it's ok to openly wank in their front room window. We've found that since being on Fab we've become inured to lots of things that our friends find shocking. | |||

"No one outside of fab knows I'm a swinger. I don't discuss this with anyone. If me and my friends talk about sex then it's just a general girls talk thing. I certainly don't want sex 24/7 x " This ^^^ Society is quick to be very judgmental of peoples behaviour and being on a sex site is no different. On the forums there are plenty of nonsex chat topics and people can engage in variety on conversations. Yes we can be flirty but who isn't ? With fab its good that you can communicate with people who are on a similar level and have the same open attitude towards sex as each other. Even tho some people are filthier than others | |||

" We think it helps free some people from the controlling motivated or religious based limitations 'normality' attempts to enforce on your sex life. Is that a warped view? Only if it is deemed acceptable to limit consensual sexual liberation. | |||

I'm used to being able to talk openly with my friend about sex. But it would feel strange having to be 'reserved' and avoid appearing too keen on sex with someone new, as I know that many men would feel that is slutty behaviour. I also know this means that we wouldn't be compatible, but how can you assess compatibility without first talking? | |||

"Fab is a swinging site, id be surprised not to find a subject/topic of sex, even if in the lounge. If I wanted to talk about what tv I should get, id be in a gadget forum (politics the politics forum) if I wanted to talk about football or what food your eating, I'd log onto Facebook. I don't need to talk about sex 24hrs a day, but there is a theme on Here. " | |||

Fab is not normal. Then neither are swinging clubs. Both sexes are culpable of behaving differently to what they would do in the local pub. A lot of women suffer from Fabitis where a lot of men thInk every women is fair game. I was mainly referring to normality in general. Even in my vanilla life I have pushed boundaries in non sexual areas. | |||

Does this environment breed certain types of people who forget what is normal and decent behaviour? " I don't think this is true in any way. For one thing do you think people who are not on this site think any less about sex? As for swingers in particular I think a significant number actually feel they need to compensate for their debauchery by demonstrating their high morals in other ways. | |||

"I'm on here, and whilst I may have sex with people, I rarely choose to talk about it, either with other people from her or my aquaintances who aren't here. It's rather a dull topic of conversation. " Same. Never discussed sex life before swinging. Even less likely to discuss it since! I think those people who like to talk about it will do so regardless of whether they are on sites like this. One of the things I like most is listening to people talk shit about sex while thinking 'if only they knew'. | |||

But I also think that many people learn things by being on this site (forums predominantly) too, that maybe outside of Fab they may not get "gently hammered" into learning -- topics that may include safe sex, consent or being called out on unacceptable behaviour etc. Or that they're not alone when upset or distressed. | |||

And yet this site neatly covers all of the above (like it or not)" I think they all do. What people repeatedly fail to realise on here (and elsewhere) is that the internet is a communication medium, nothing more. Certainly websites can try and impose a theme, but people will still discuss whatever they please. | |||

You could maybe make that suggestion for those who attend swingers parties but even then I have noticed that many people I have run into on the scene seem to be just as routine as the people outside it.

"Slightly dissenting view here (I think). Swinging DOES alter your reality a bit. Since I've started swinging now 8 years, I find myself regarding sex between 2 persons as nothing different from sharing a drink or a movie. I find myself associating with people who share similar views and sex is no longer "taboo" or exclusive. Certainly this is not normal for the majority non-swingers. A lot of my vanilla social interactions are with men and women who at some point I've also slept with but 80% of the time when we meet it's just social banter, drinks and food not sex. Yet we are so open about sex that recently at a social gathering I was talking to a fella (about a movie if you must ask) and a girl interrupted us said "Sorry Gail" and grabbed him by the arm saying "Steven, I need a fuck come on" and off they went to the bedroom. I just laughed and shoo'd him away in her direction. The rest of us were (and remained) clothed and chit chatted most of the evening. Steven and J came out an hour later and continued the convo where they left off. No one blinked an eye. Of course we've all known each other for several years but for most people this won't be normal." I think you're agreeing with my point. I probably worded it badly by saying warped. Everyone has their own version of what's normal. | |||

Does this environment breed certain types of people who forget what is normal and decent behaviour? " I think thats true for a select few. I can only comment on myself. Personally I enjoy sex alot but that's doesn't mean I want it every five minutes. However I do enjoy talking about it and the "chase" so to speak. But I know that I am speaking to a person, a stranger and therefore should become acquainted and chat a little bit first at least. We are all adults and therefore should know what is decent behaviour but i see alot of men especially constantly forcing or pressuring others into sex or play and it annoys me. Im then tainted with the same brush. However i believe most are decent and check there behaviour especially if it's pointed out that there actions are unacceptable. At the same time, this is a sex site. As always in life it's a simple matter of balance. | |||

This site doesn't breed anyone though - it may attract them, and they may feel legitimized by what they see here, but they come here fully formed, so to speak. | |||

"This site doesn't breed anyone though - it may attract them, and they may feel legitimized by what they see here, but they come here fully formed, so to speak." This is my view, I think people of questionable opinions/morals are the same as they were before they joined, if anything it feels more acceptable to share those with people on here which I think is a widespread issue with anonymity on the internet in general. I don't think fab has changed my view of what's "normal", if anything it's opened my eyes to what people fetishize and made me a lot less shockable! | |||
