"No - and it is not a question of shame, I am not ashamed or I would not be here. It is one of discretion. Do not forget society has yet to embrace swinging as totally acceptable. Those that have families, can have the fingers of critics pointed at their mothers, fathers, children, work colleagues and friends; people who have not chosen this lifestyle. " Exactly! | |||

" i think full body shots should be mandatory though as that would save alot of time as well sick of the the shots flashing a tit or 1/5 of a thigh ffs " I don't think ANY type of picture should be mandatory on your profile - it's up to people to exchange whatever photos they see fit if they want to arrange a meet. | |||

"Why do people assume if you don't have your face plastered all over the site you're ashamed?!! Has it occurred to some of you that never everyone wants the world and his wife knowing their private business?!! " Those are my thoughts too. I find it amusing how some seem to look down on those that show discretion - misplaced values to me. | |||

"Sticking your fizzog on here as a profile picture for all and sundry to see is probably the singularly most disrespectful and selfish things you could ever do with respect to your family, loved ones and friends. If our kids, our family or our friends ever discovered what we get up to they would quite probably be able to deal with the notion if we sat them down and explained things. BUT Or son plays footy at quite a high level so imagine the piss taking that would go on if any and everyone he played with or against knew of our swinging life. Just the tip of the iceberg Every time I read these threads I wonder if any of those 'we have nothing to be embarrassed about' respondents to this question have actually thought thing through properly " We've known couples who've "come out" to their friends/family and for the most part have been met with "We wondered when you were going to tell us" or "Cool!". Many swingers don't give their family credit for common sense in being able to work things out. We're upfront about what we do, or in our case did, to those who have broached the subject. The reason being is that we'd much rather people knew from us before someone else found out and told all and sundry at the most inopportune moment. If you don't care about people knowing then they can't get one over on you if/when they find out. For those who say that society isn't yet acceptable of swinging, then perhaps if more people were open about it things would change. Many things in society, whether racial, political or sexual, have only become acceptable because people had the bottle to stand up for what they believe in. XXXX | |||

Sorry, but I don't value my 'freedom of choice' as much as I do my job and regular pay packet | |||

"Well if you can do I suppose everybody should It isn't only the job/family etc. factor for me, it's also a little self respect and respect that perhaps others don't want to know my sexual interests." So what your saying is that you'd lose respect for yourself if people knew you were a swinger, or in other words you'd be ashamed. If you'd be ashamed of doing something if found out, it's always best not to do it. As for others "knowing your sexual interests", no one needs to know unless they ask you, then would you lie about it and deny it or stand up for the lifestyle you've chosen? R | |||

XXXX" I agree with your last comment as I work for a housing association and we had a complaint from someone about their neighbour who was swinging and all staff did was make snide comments and ridicule so I don't mention where I have met my friends, better for my state of well being especially at the moment | |||

XXXX" Having family and friends who understand is only the start of it, hence we wonder if those folk with the 'News of the World' approach have really thought things through. It's not just the opinions of our loved ones that we have as the focal point for our wishing to keep our sex lives private it's the potential ridicule THEY could face in their everyday lives. If what we did got out how long would it be before their Facebook pages, Twitter Accounts etc etc were awash with juvenile jibes and taunts? Our nieces and nephews are part of our FB circle so how long before they are drawn into it? Throw a stone in a pond and watch the circles! We love our family dearly would never do anything to put THEIR happiness at risk, if others choose to do otherwise that's their choice however there is enough hurt in the world without us deliberately risking fucking up a whole bunch of lives just because we wanted to big ourselves up! In my previous job I had to have a very high security clearance, shan't boast as to why. Suffice to say that publishing what we get up to could have have put me at risk of being compromised, which in turn would have compromised my ability to do my job which would have compromised my suitability for some posts which would have compromised my potential for promotion............. All because I wanted to show off and boast about my sexual prowess, dear god | |||

R " Nope what I'm saying is as I wrote previously. I don't think personally that it's incompatible to enjoy all manner of sexual preferences but still to choose to keep them private from others who probably prefer them kept that way. Similarly I find suggestive photos far more appealing than gaping holes - in your face isn't often attractive. | |||

" Imagine for a moment they don't give a flying f@@k who knows anything about what they do and who they brag to.........then imagine them finding out about you Reading through this thread should show you that there are plenty of folk out there who have no value what so ever for discretion so would you really want some loud mouth boaster having access to your private life | |||

" If only it were that simple - anonymous letter to employer, to family members / anyone in the local area with the same surname with a copy of your profile and you have no end of trouble. The sender is not known but obviously a member of this site And yes it happened to me.... | |||
