"Hey everyone, I’m hoping to get some idea of what is generally accepted as a good idea. As someone who is single and on the dating scene, when would be a good time to bring up swinging? Ideally I’d like someone I could have fun with, instead of shut it down entirely. My ex and I were on this site, however that was because she was extremely bi-curious and one day asked if we could have a threesome so she could explore. I was obviously happy with that. But with new people, how/when do you bring it up without sounding bad? Thanks for all your lovely input! X" I don't date - just use Fab so we would both be on the same page. | |||

"Don’t say a word until you two are moving towards being exclusive.... Bring it up to her and gauge her reaction.... " See for me that'd annoy me. It's a huge thing to tell someone and a deal breaker for some people so it wait until you're exclusive could be wasting someone's time. | |||

I will not chance telling total strangers my sexual proclivities until I’m sure they can be trusted.... Now after trust is established, I will then open Pandora’s box.... | |||

"I’m with the ‘just say it. Don’t waste time on those not interested’ crew. I couldn’t give this lifestyle and my friends up. I want a new partner to augment not hinder my life. " Honest question....... Have you introduced your swinging friends to your vanilla friends and family? | |||

"If you wish to continue swinging when in a relationship then I would suggest that you tell your dates at an early opportunity. It's no use getting emotionally connected and invested only to tell them "By the way, I'd like something other than monogamy" and to discover they are not open to the idea. You are hurt. They are hurt. " I totally agree with this ... however in the same vein i dont want kids ... same idea no point getting emotionally invested to find out someone doesnt have samw thought and both hurt ... yet when i brig it up early on with someone (despite me saying i dont want to have kids rather than trying to pin them down for kids ha) i regularly get told i am psycho for even thinking about it so soon ![]() ![]() | |||

Your past life is your business and of no concern to anyone else. You know if you choose to bring it up, you'll only get judged for it. Negatively So! So no point really. ![]() | |||

"If it were to be me on the date, I will take charge from moment we meet and tell the lady straight what my life style is like. I will then let her make the choice to be with me or not , she will see it in my body language and she will be thinking, this guy is very respectful and polite, he obviously likes me but is not bothered if I say yes or no, he must have a lot of ladies. I am friends with some vanilla ladies who I see, they are not into this lifestyle, they know am not interested in any relationship because I told them straight on the first day and they know am into this lifestyle but that does not stop them from being with me. So tell the ladies on the first day what your life style is like,if they like you,it will not stop them from being with you." If you’re not interested In a date I should think it was kinder to tell the lady it’s NOT a date before you’re sat in nando’s. It used to proper wind me up when I was looking for a relationship to waste all the time and effort on something that was just a shag when I could have seen one of my friends off here or saved a load of money and makeup and just asked them round to my house | |||

"Is that not what swinging is about? " No " are there not many Hotwives who are married but are also with multiple guys they see regularly as their time permits, without being in any relationship with these guys? " That would be swinging since she is already married " There are a lot of single ladies who are honest enough to say, I like this guy enough to see him regularly and be with him in that regard but I do not want to build a relationship with him. " That's just having a fuck buddy " I think as adults it is better to be honest from the beginning instead of allowing relationships that end up making you miserable. " | |||

I haven't swapped face pics with people i wasn't meeting / cammed / played face pic friday / been to a club in over 2 years maybe longer (lesson learned too late) - ive also changed my pictures and profile name a few times in that time and i still regularly get messages about being on fab from people on regular dating sites ... its concerning how many tbh ... some are actually so weird that they recognise my bedroom from the background of photographs ![]() ![]() | |||

""Swinging is a subset of ethical non-monogamy. The non-mongamy aspect requires that you share a partner or at least open to sharing a partner. " Indeed, that again does not preclude a single person being a swinger. I'm married to two women, one legally and one by handfasting (and yes, they both know etc). I also attend swingers clubs from time to time and am open to having sex with other people. What am I?" Polygamous or polyamorous by the sounds of it. Do they have sexual relations with anyone else? | |||

" Polygamous or polyamorous by the sounds of it. Do they have sexual relations with anyone else? " Definitely polyamorous. My legal wife has a boyfriend and a fuck buddy, my handfasted wife has another husband and a boyfriend. There's no hint of monogamy anywhere. | |||

" Polygamous or polyamorous by the sounds of it. Do they have sexual relations with anyone else? Definitely polyamorous. My legal wife has a boyfriend and a fuck buddy, my handfasted wife has another husband and a boyfriend. There's no hint of monogamy anywhere. " So I would say that: 1. You're not single 2. You'd qualify for your swinger blue badge because you share your wives. Imagine you didn't share your wives but they shared you. That's the same relationship structure commonly found in Saudi Arabia, nobody would call conservative Muslims as swingers. 3. Polyamorous sounds like the most accurate description of your setup because swinging doesn't typically involve any form of commitment with the additional sexual partners. Since your wives have "boyfriends", then it's more polyamory than swinging. But they are not mutually exclusive terms either. | |||

So it's simply never true that a meaningful word can mean whatever any individual wants it to mean. What you described is obviously not swinging. You weren't in a relationship to start with so she was never yours to share in the first place. What you described is no different to most hookups at universities, nobody would say that swinging is common at universities. | |||

"If I was dating (gods forbid) I would mention the things I want from my sex life on a first date if it seemed we might see each other more than a couple of times. Life is way too short to waste it on hinting and worrying if your particular kinks will make you look bad." Tee-heee... Thinking back to a "date" where the lady was sat there eyes unfocussed kind of talking to the table, admonishing me for bringing-up sex on the first date and telling me something banal about the only purpose of a first date is deciding whether there should be a second date (sic.). Different strokes for different folks ![]() | |||
