"I answer this with a couple of questions.....How would you feel finding out that your husband/wife had cheated? How would you like to have to deal with an angry husband/wife contacting you when they found out that you fucked their partner? Personally, I don't much like the sound of either of those but if the consequences don't bother you then fill ya boots " Can't be put any clearer than that. | |||

"Not bothered at all . It's their life , and their relationship . If the cheater is happy to do it , and the partner doesn't know about it , there must be something amiss in the relationship . It's just NSA sex ." Their life their relationship. No worry of mine. | |||

"To us it is totally unacceptable. To be dishonest to your life partner, whether married or not, is pretty low. Some say they have their reasons however those reasons are usually for their own convenience from what we have seen-and fairly often they use the reason of their partner's sex drive being not equal to their's. It is questionable as to what these dishonest people are doing; is it called swinging, or cheating? Not judging anyone in particular, just stating our opinion." It is indeed cheating if their partner doesn't know and/ or consent. | |||

Personally still not our thing, but it is totally honest for the people involved. | |||

How would you like to have to deal with an angry husband/wife contacting you when they found out that you fucked their partner? Personally, I don't much like the sound of either of those but if the consequences don't bother you then fill ya boots " I have had this discussion many a time with my partner, and we believe that if a person can lie to their partner they can lie to us. Personally I have to trust someone before I meet them, I'm not one for a 'blind f**k'. I have been on the receiving end of a scorned wife and to be totally honest it's awful, embarrassing and darn right rude of the guy I was meeting to make out that I pursued him, I did make sure I pointed her in the direction of his profile (on another site) and she could see quite plainly that he had been on there since 2008 and had verifications from quite a few people from way before he met me. Oh and if my partner cheated on me I'd kill him, one simple rule of swinging... No secrets. He knows who I meet, where I am and all the other details | |||

"I wouldn't knowingly get with one. They've legally tied themselves to someone else. What if they was just in a relationship " I have unknowingly been with guys who are in relationships then found out later (i mostly have regular meets so that's how i found out). Not happy about it personally. Tbh so long as i don't have to legally be involved in anything is my main priority, and if someones girlfriend ever confronted me i'd be pissed off that a guy had put me in that situation. | |||

Also feel the same I'm not here to judge what other do I lived in a sexless marriage for years and though I never cheated on him going without sex was hard and I can understand why some give into the temptation I honestly feel if your partner does not want you they have no reason to complain if you go else where, I was good enough to cook, clean, look after the kids, work, provide money but not to have sex with....go figure | |||

"For me, I'm a swinger. Swinging is a form of ethically non-monogamy. The ethical part of it means that everyone involved knows and approves of What's happening. If there is a spouse/partner somewhere who is in the dark about what's going on, then it's not ethical, so it's not swinging. " Absolutely spot on. | |||

"At the risk of being bombarded and insulted I wanted to ask how many of you think it is acceptable to play with a married man or woman for that matter when their other halfs do not know what they are doing Let the flood gates open James " Totally unacceptable.

"People do judge one way or another that's the point" Thing is though, it isn't about judging in our opinion. We think everyone knows what is right and wrong, they just choose to think it doesn't apply to them. Being dishonest to the one you care about? Obviously you don't care about them too much! | |||

That explains my position perfectly, even tho I hadn't been able to articulate that as such so far. Xx | |||

"The usual thing is no sex at home. I see people say talk to there other half instead of doing the dirty. Perhaps they already have and that's not resolved the matter. I've seen people say just leave the marriage. That ignores the fact that the rest of the relationship might be perfectly fine. I understand perfectly why people would not want to meet someone that was attached but I don't follow why people get so judgemental of others, especially when they don't know the full facts. As with all things if you don't like it move on to the next profile. And why people keep starting these threads is beyond me. " Thing is, what full facts make it ok to cheat? We haven't heard of one person yet who has died from lack of sex, have you? | |||

Some people just have a higher sex drive than others, all becauae one half does not want and can live without sex that does not mean the other is happy to do it I know I will get a cyber kick in for this but I'm saying it anyway If your partner does not want sex with you why do they care who else you have sex with? Like in my situation As I said above I was in a sexless marriage for years my ex constantly told me I was fat and ugly, so if I had played away why should it bother him, he didn't want me sexually so why care if others did? | |||

She slowly lost pretty much everything that made her her, including a lot of brain tissue due to various treatments and surgeries. She ended up confined to a wheelchair, and incapable of recognising family members, let alone sexual activity. This went on for the best part of a decade, with him as the primary carer. Eventually he sought sexual release with another woman. That was enough to make his situation bearable, and keep them "together", until she passed away - which was beneficial for his kids. I for one don't feel comfortable judging someone in that situation in such a black and white fashion... | |||

"So if a new playmate says they have their OH's consent to play away, you take that as gospel ? Utter bullshit and just a cop out to make some feel they're not contributing to a doomed relationship. Some will go to extraordinary lengths to convince others they're not cheating, I personally don't know why they bother. Also define cheating ? Having no strings sex with strangers is no different to men who visit working girls, for what they claim not to get at home. Women don't have that choice and seeking discreet fun outside of their relationship, is a solution to their physical needs. " | |||

And those who have partners in charge of their full mental faculties. So no argument not won right there. Straw man knocked down right there. | |||

"I think if people are in a sexless relationship they have 3 options: 1. Just accept that's the way it is and that's the way it will stay. 2. Talk to your partner, tell them how you feel and then either fulfil your desires inside the relationship, or open in up to ethical non-monogamy. 3. If you can't do either of the above, or you tried number 2 and it didn't work, then leave the relationship. I'm not on a moral high horse, but I don't really get why people can't do one of the 3.

I agree in as far as we don't have the facts so can't possibly know and as I said don't try and involve me, justify actions or disrespect the unwitting partner and I don't care what people do. If people want to be morally outraged I don't care much either but I personally don't feel such outrage. I do often feel very sad when I see a post or a profile saying that they aren't getting sex at home or their partner isn't very adventurous, doesn't have an equal sex drive etc etc. Or the ones where they claim to be doing their partner a favour because if they weren't on fab they would be unhappy at home or having an affair.....usually shortly after they've complained that they can't get any meets . But it takes all sorts and these threads will run all the time mugs like me respond | |||

"I prefer not to know. Have played with many people that have been married in the past but mainly in club settings. I only knew coz they were wearing a ring. Most guys on here would lie and either say they are not or their partner knows they are doing it. Does it make it right that I ignore the fact he is wearing a ring? No but then they could simply take it off and I'd have no idea anyway " I know what you mean, but after I was divorced I left my ring on (and still do). It helps stop people (male and female) hitting on me. And no, I am not handsome, super well endowed or rich. I just have a pulse and, for some out there, that's enough. Gary | |||

"The usual thing is no sex at home. I see people say talk to there other half instead of doing the dirty. Perhaps they already have and that's not resolved the matter. I've seen people say just leave the marriage. That ignores the fact that the rest of the relationship might be perfectly fine. I understand perfectly why people would not want to meet someone that was attached but I don't follow why people get so judgemental of others, especially when they don't know the full facts. As with all things if you don't like it move on to the next profile. And why people keep starting these threads is beyond me. Thing is, what full facts make it ok to cheat? We haven't heard of one person yet who has died from lack of sex, have you? No. However, I had a friend whose wife went through a long battle with brain cancer. She slowly lost pretty much everything that made her her, including a lot of brain tissue due to various treatments and surgeries. She ended up confined to a wheelchair, and incapable of recognising family members, let alone sexual activity. This went on for the best part of a decade, with him as the primary carer. Eventually he sought sexual release with another woman. That was enough to make his situation bearable, and keep them "together", until she passed away - which was beneficial for his kids. I for one don't feel comfortable judging someone in that situation in such a black and white fashion... Argument won right here. Such an awful thing to have to go through. We don't know each others stories. Do we even have the right to know. Just dont judge people too easily. Yes no one has died through lack of sex, but what gives us the right to deny someone happiness because it doesn't meet our moral standard. Nothing gives us that right but I am willing to bet you a doughnut and an iced finger bun that sad tale doesn't apply to a lot of people on fab. Your most probably correct. But the point is still that you don't have the facts whatever they may be. Even if it's just the simple fact that a bloke or woman is a greedy bugger, people should think right I'm not playing with them, and that should be the end of it. There's no need for the moral outrage that comes with these posts. The real thing that gets my goat is that there seem to be as many posts on this subject lately as please improve my shitty profile ones. I agree in as far as we don't have the facts so can't possibly know and as I said don't try and involve me, justify actions or disrespect the unwitting partner and I don't care what people do. If people want to be morally outraged I don't care much either but I personally don't feel such outrage. I do often feel very sad when I see a post or a profile saying that they aren't getting sex at home or their partner isn't very adventurous, doesn't have an equal sex drive etc etc. Or the ones where they claim to be doing their partner a favour because if they weren't on fab they would be unhappy at home or having an affair.....usually shortly after they've complained that they can't get any meets . But it takes all sorts and these threads will run all the time mugs like me respond " Yeah I kinda wish I'd not responded on this thread. | |||

"I think if people are in a sexless relationship they have 3 options: 1. Just accept that's the way it is and that's the way it will stay. 2. Talk to your partner, tell them how you feel and then either fulfil your desires inside the relationship, or open in up to ethical non-monogamy. 3. If you can't do either of the above, or you tried number 2 and it didn't work, then leave the relationship. I'm not on a moral high horse, but I don't really get why people can't do one of the 3. Because for some people just getting up and leaving a relationship isn't as easy as that If your married you have financial commitment if it's a joint mortgage even if you leave your still responsible for payments on that house so you have rent and council tax on a new place and mortgage and council tax on the place you have left till your name is taken off which could take years, not many people can afford that it's easy to look from the outside and say ....just do this in the real world some things as not ad easy as they sound " So why can't you do 1 or 2 then? | |||

"About the sexless marriage thing.

"At the risk of being bombarded and insulted I wanted to ask how many of you think it is acceptable to play with a married man or woman for that matter when their other halfs do not know what they are doing Let the flood gates open James " Iv generally always been one to NOT play with married/attached men who were playing away, however in a couple cases I have been told they are single yet to find out after that they are married/attached. I will on rare occasions meet and possibly play with a married/attached man. It all depends on the person and how I'm feeling about it at the time. | |||

Well speaking for myself as I can't speak for anyone else I was in a sexless marriage because my ex had basically gone off me, he was constantly telling me how fat and ugly I was, regularly called me repulsive and told me I made him feel sick Right I'll address number 2 Talk to my partner and tell him how he made me feel? Do you think talking would have made him start seeing me as attractive, I used to the all him regular to stop with the name calling he'd just laugh at me So I do number 2 Accept that's the way it is and how it will stay Like I said its easy to look from the outside and say.....just do this Personally I didn't want to just accept my life was to live with an abusive bully Talking did nothing I couldn't afford to move out Of course not everybody's situation is the same as mine but I'm sure there are many people who can't just up sticks and move because they are unhappy, real life for most don't work like that I put up with his abuse for 8 years before we split and as I said above I never cheated, even though he did, but I can understand why people in dead end relationships they can not get out of do | |||

"Having a discussion with a lady friend on here about this post and she has just come up with a valid point. We are all on here to get extra sex, aside from those that just come on to chat of course, whether we be singles or couples. Whether we be married or whatever. What's essentially happening is people are saying it's alright for some to get extra sex and not others. The morals of marriage partnerships etc are being brought into an essentially nsa pastime. Food for thought." Everyone on here is in some way doing what is unacceptable to conventional society. And societies everywhere have different rules, same as people have differing levels of morality. If we do not want to be judged for our prefences, what gives us the moral right to impugn another's choices? The most we can do is say 'no, I don't want to be involved in that.' and move on. We don't even need to know nor can we ever know people's entire stories, motivations or impetus. But then again, I dont know everything. So each to his own... | |||

"did i use to when i first started.... yep, without a care in the world! would i now...... nope, not ever think about it! what changed? an incident that i was part of indirectly which made me see what pain the person who didn't know went thru when they did find out.... what happened? I was at a party with a well respected "single" guy... and we thought we all know him.... I get a frantic call the next day, asking if "x" had been drinking at all... nope, coffee all night!! why? because on his way home from party he has been in a one person accident on the motorway... and had died and thats when we all found out he wasn't single.... married with children, and we found out the wife didn't know about his secret life.... because she had found his profile and what he'd been up to on the site..... and then she came online............ I have never seen so many angry painful and passionate words lashed out at everyone, it made me realise there were other people that were affected by actions as opposed to "well they will never find out" and "i am bulletproof" life taught me that day... they do, and you are not!!!! so if you want an extreme story from the other side of the coin, there you have it!!! it can take something as extreme as that to think beyond you at times.... i gave up swinging for a good year after just because I felt my entire approach needed changing..... " That's an extreme and pretty heartbreaking example, but given that you said at the start you thought you knew him and you thought he was single - does that not highlight that whatever people's _iews, when meeting people in this way, you can never be 100% certain of their circumstances? If I was felt so strongly that I must never do anything with anyone who was attached, I wouldn't meet people this way and I wouldn't meet them at clubs or parties either because how could I ever be sure? | |||

"With all this talk of sexless relationships, like the hypothetical mentioned above with the disabled child. I always think that it's not just sexless for one of them. Both of them are missing out on sexual fulfilment and enjoyment and that is sad for both parties. " It is sad... & women I think would do anything to get a relationship on track... But the above situation is far mor common than you might think, take the time to communicate to s few people, those you know who have a "great life" & behind the smile you might find something else. Fact is nobody wants to help you when your married, they assume that's what your partner is for. | |||

" I think that too and I think that maybe sometimes people have a very narrow _iew of what being sexual is or can be the intimacy. touching, closeness and that it doesn't have to involve penetration. But I have no idea of people's history, experience, life story etc and they all colour how we/they feel about sex. That's why an either or _iew is a bit simplistic. | |||

I sincerely hope you don't have to deal with some of the REAL issues in life. I'm happily married but our relationship is pretty much sexless after many years of severe post natal depression. Option 1 - tell depressed person that although you both love each other the fact there's no sex means you're going to play away (will really help self belief ) Or Option 2 - play away and satisfy that need occasionally so you can continue to maintain the happy relationship I know what I've chosen but others may well think otherwise. Everyone makes their own choices in life. | |||

"... who we will absolutely not meet are those who denigrate their partners, are derogatory about them in our conversations or who try to make excuses for what they do or are...own it for what it is, cheating on your partner..." | |||

"Wrong quote perhaps but check the earlier opinions from the individual and you'll see why" Oh ok. I won't get involved in that so ignore my comment | |||

"did i use to when i first started.... yep, without a care in the world! would i now...... nope, not ever think about it! what changed? an incident that i was part of indirectly which made me see what pain the person who didn't know went thru when they did find out.... what happened? I was at a party with a well respected "single" guy... and we thought we all know him.... I get a frantic call the next day, asking if "x" had been drinking at all... nope, coffee all night!! why? because on his way home from party he has been in a one person accident on the motorway... and had died and thats when we all found out he wasn't single.... married with children, and we found out the wife didn't know about his secret life.... because she had found his profile and what he'd been up to on the site..... and then she came online............ I have never seen so many angry painful and passionate words lashed out at everyone, it made me realise there were other people that were affected by actions as opposed to "well they will never find out" and "i am bulletproof" life taught me that day... they do, and you are not!!!! so if you want an extreme story from the other side of the coin, there you have it!!! it can take something as extreme as that to think beyond you at times.... i gave up swinging for a good year after just because I felt my entire approach needed changing..... " Sad story. But he was the issue, not the people he met. She had no right to lash out at everyone else. Understandable but wrong. | |||

I don't see how that makes it any less sad that your wife isn't getting any sexual fulfilment or enjoyment | |||

"We're to start I am one of the married bogey men. Their are occasions in life when things just don't go to plan. I am happily married and have been for 18 yrs however due to a serious illness our sex life has all but ended. I have discussed options with my wife to which the reply has always been one of disgust or my being selfish. I don't want affairs and I don't want a divorce. I occasionally want to feel the touch and excitement of a woman who is physically able to enjoy sex. I have visited working girls but It just doesn't feel right. I recently visited a club were I met some great people had a laugh and wasn't judged maybe some of you should do the same " We don't see much judging going on here, just _iews on what people see as right or wrong. So do you think that what you are doing is right? You may have your reasons, and some reasons on here are quite plausible compared to some of the 'my wife has gone off the idea of sex, or I need more than she gives' stuff, however have you discussed with your wife what you are doing? If not, are you comfortable with being less than honest with her? I guess you are considering having sex with others behind your wife's back. Is there much difference between that and an affair? | |||

"For me, I'm a swinger. Swinging is a form of ethically non-monogamy. The ethical part of it means that everyone involved knows and approves of What's happening. If there is a spouse/partner somewhere who is in the dark about what's going on, then it's not ethical, so it's not swinging. " | |||

"About the sexless marriage thing. I always thought that unless it was negotiated before hand most people enter into marriage expecting it to be sexual, if one person changes their mind for whatever reason (illness excepted) then the terms of the marriage should be up for renegotiation. " Does it say that in the marriage vows? | |||

" Exactly this...swinging is about everybody enjoying themselves but not at the expense of someone getting hurt...it is especially important if the person that potentially could get hurt is not even there (or as you say in the dark) unless they have given consent and condone the swinging... | |||
