Yup, just from my profile pic! Fortunately it's someone I don't mind but could have been awkward.

I also saw an ex-employer at a club once. Fortunately I'd changed dramatically but he he hadn't

"has anyone ever been recognised on here by someone who knows you "

I'm sure it happens all of the time. For most people on here, they are as keen to keep their own privacy as anyone else so the general process is to block and forget.

Apart from meeting with Anita's cousin once, we have not had any issues with encountering anyone we know.

There are always a lot of similar threads to this.

As usual my reply is:

My twin sister and her husband are on fab and are forum users too, they might comment on this later.

I bumped into them at a club last year. I also bumped into my uncle and his wife at the same club about 8 weeks ago.

It's no big deal OP

We have been in the scene for about 20 years. We were with a young lady at a very well known club. And her mum and dad walked into a group room while the 3 of us were playing. That was interesting.

Yes, just last last week! After swooping pics and chatting, the guy recognised me. I thought I recognised him but wasn't sure. Anyway, we were friends 12 years ago and both fancied each other, but never said, due to circumstances.

We met up this week and it was just like old times, no awkwardness or stilted conversation, and with added fun

Other thing is bumping into people you know in the swinging world out in the general world around - maybe with family / their children, etc. Working out a polite greeting which wouldn't look out-of-place given rather passionate greeting you are more familiar with

The more we get into this lifestyle, the less we care who knows..... we find it very liberating telling friends that we go to clubs etc..... my own mother and father have even started to guess and we didn't deny it..

Nobody is doing anything wrong, and I think more people are either doing it or thinking of doing it than we all think.

Nods, it's when you see the same person on different sites, with very different wants, you wonder what they're really looking for.

Have bumped into a couple of workmates at kink events with no drama (although the look of horror when she recognised me across the room was a memory I'll not forget) but not bumped into anyone in the street with family/friends, could be a difficult ' so where do you know x from? type question.....

We were once recognised by our neighbours. For two years they said nothing and on the day we moved from Scotland to Devon, they told us. We thought it was really good of them to be so discrete for so long.

Compare that to the guy in a club who bought up our pics on his phone, and showed them to our friends!

The only person we have ever recognised messaged us a few years ago, was politely refused, blocked to prevent his embarrassment, and we still see him and his wife at the gym to this day.

We occassionally get messages from people saying they think they just saw us somewhere. Come to think of it, we seem to get recognised in Supermarkets more than anywhere else!

Totally unexpected as he is in a relationship and expecting a baby soon.

Requested that he does not share his find with the rest of our friends. I guess it is tricky to keep it private but we want a clear distinction between our personal lives and our swinging alter egos (if that's possible!)
