"I'd go with C - They've grown up around so much negative stigma surrounding bisexuality that they are scared of being outed and victimised if they put it in writing. And that they've been struggling to come to terms with their own sexuality because of that conditioning." That's kind of an expanded version of a there may be all sorts of reasons why they don't want to be out as bi but on a swingers site no one is going to victimise you. Just some people won't have sex with you. | |||

It's a social stigma for s man to say he's bi. It's easier for some than others to just get on with itv | |||

Maybe you shouldn't be trying to swing until you have worked through those issues | |||

" Not at all, I prefer guys who are openly bi if I'm looking for a bi guy and a guy with a profile that says straight messages it's deleted | |||

"Let me ask this. If a woman says she's straight, but isnt. And on occasions like to play with couples and women- what do people think of that? Because that's essentially the same?" Exactly! I doubt she'd be labelled a sneaky lying shit because it's sexy and acceptable for a 'straight' woman to have an experimental side at times. For a guy it's underhand and deceitful .... | |||

"There's a vocal minority whose 'preference' is not to meet bi men. Men outnumber women. They don't want to scupper their already slim chances. Of the two: I think people who refuse to meet bi sexual people is worse than misleading about being straight right?" But on the other hand as bi guys are relatively rare you will increase your chances with bi couples if you are out as bi. So genuinely bi guys will, in fact, do better if they are out. | |||

I would treat the same as a guy. If she's profile straight, we simply wouldn't meet anyway. On that note, never had a message in over ten years of playing, from a woman announcing her sexuality to be different from stated on her profile. In stark contrast from men, there's been hundreds. | |||

"We once had a guy message us saying he was bi but the reason he put straight is that he was having a dispute with his ex about child custody and CSA payments, and therefore didn't want her to know he was bi. Which made us laugh as I was working for the CSA at the time. On a more serious note we well understand guys reasons for not being out on fab. But at the other hand we have to put our own needs and preferences first. We're not here for sympathy shags. " Yes because obviously the chance trawl this site and in their eyes its OK to be a swinger but not a bi swinger... | |||

"it's the ones who get huffy when we point out their profile says straight...like we're supposed to be fecking psychic and know that they once had a bit of a suck of a cock once... we're here for meets where the opportunity for no male play is a possibility...so assume if a profile says 100% straight that this isn't on the cards and move on...not bring mind readers " bi...not no...thats a totally different thing...lol | |||

"I've put straight on my profile as that's what I'm looking for right now. I'm bisexual. I don't want to be playing with couples or women(that being said I have plans coming back up soon with a couple that want to meet me) I just think people are too harsh- it's a swinging site. You should be able to have sex with whatever gender or orientation you want, once you've made contact etc. Some days I want to be with a woman, some a man. Why can't men be allowed that discretion too?" not saying they can't but if they contact us and we're only looking for bi guys, how are we supposed to know and why should we have to tease it out of a "straight" gut that they're no? | |||

In an ideal world we'd all be completely open about our sexuality - and women on here can be - but many women and couples won't meet guys who own so much as a salmon pink T shirt - so I can understand the caution about putting it on a profile! Let's face it - single guys on fab are between a rock and a hard place when it comes to most aspects of fab! Sexuality is just one of them! Xx | |||

That doesn't mean that every time you play you will play with someone of the same sex. Our issue is that most men who say they are straight on their profiles but respond to an ad for bi guys will either be lying to get at a woman or have issues of shame around their sexuality. Neither are our thing. | |||

"I am bi and openly state on my profile. I have played with single ladies, guys and couples. I can and do adapt to the situation, if it's a straight couple I can play straight and respect that. It's a free world, don't want to meet me? that's fine, everybody has a choice, not my loss at all. I'm too long in the tooth now to worry what others say or think... it's a swingers site, everybody has preferences, some narrow and some like me, wider ranging" This completely!! Have never seen a reason to state anything other than what I am which is a bisexual male and wouldn't ever think to change my sexuality to fit a particular scenario, if that means I "miss out" with the minority who won't meet me because of my sexuality then so be it. The ying to that yang is there's a far bigger pool of opportunity with people who are open to who I am. | |||

The initial point was about us advertising for a bi guy and getting answers from guys whose profile says they are straight. If you say you are straight and don't answer ads requesting bi people there's no harm done. | |||

""Society as a whole views bisexual males and females differently. I’ve sat at many dinner parties where the female guests have openly admitted to same sex attractions or experiences, but a man doing the same is simply not the norm. While a woman might receive a nod of approval, a bisexual man can still generate a stunned silence and a quick skip to the next course. We may have relaxed about out-and-proud gay men, but guys who admit to a dabble still face the questioning stares, and whispers of “is he gay, straight or lying?" " http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/relationships/10495362/Tom-Daley-Why-do-so-few-men-admit-to-being-bisexual.html" That's a really good read and very true. | |||

"Well society can be very cruel and people risk losing family and friends due to being self outed on site. I have no issues with peeps who need to be careful walking the line... If they are embarrassed well they have to deal with it, have know a few guys who had stright on profiles then went to bi, guess they just needed time to be brave " The cruelty of society is preserved by a mass wave of hypocrisy.

Studies repeatedly shoe that 60-70% married people are unfaithful yet swinging is still scorned upon. " That's the frustrating thing. I can almost deal with wider society not understanding bisexuality. But I thought swingers would be different, in my distant and naive past. | |||

So let us all be honest We, like others, have preferences: bi or straight couples; no preference either way. Single bi or straight women; would prefer a single bi woman although a straight woman is equally desired. Straight single man The first two, in our limited experience, are completely honest about themselves. For the third, one has to play detective. Almost wants us to give up on single men here - Mrs. J - | |||

"We can often advertise to meet bi guys and get quite a few responses from guys whose profile says they are straight. When asked about this discrepancy they usually say something about being discreet. That response puts us right off as it suggests either A. They think there is something shameful about being bi hence the need to be "discreet" or B. They are lying about being bi to get access to the woman. Too harsh? " Ah, you mean 'Fab' straight | |||

"I'd go with C - They've grown up around so much negative stigma surrounding bisexuality that they are scared of being outed and victimised if they put it in writing. And that they've been struggling to come to terms with their own sexuality because of that conditioning." | |||

" My profile used to say 'bi curious' which I am. Just that, curious but no experience. However I was constantly messaged from guys wanting to "bust my cherry" or come and "use me". Um no! It was a massive eye opener for me to the extent that guys go too and the harshness of their messages and temper tantrums afterwards. So now I am marked as straight purely for peace, when I see a couple I want to experiment with I explain my story. Still waiting to find Mr&Mrs right though. | |||

"See im orally bi both ways, but wouldnt label myself as bi on here, as it creates that facade of fully bi... So what would people say i put mine too? Only you can decide that. But I'm the same so I've put bisexual. -Mr I find this really interesting - I'm also the same, ok to indulge in a little bi play if it occurs - but nothing more than oral - and I'm fine if it's not on the table. So I've 'labelled' myself as straight , but then explained in more detail in my actual profile. OP - would you think I was lying if i'd messaged you? Interested to hear what people think!" we wouldn't even read it... get message from single man... look at profile before reading message... see it says straight... delete message without reading either message or profile... ...saves a lot of time in the long run | |||

"I've put straight on my profile as that's what I'm looking for right now. I'm bisexual. I don't want to be playing with couples or women(that being said I have plans coming back up soon with a couple that want to meet me) I just think people are too harsh- it's a swinging site. You should be able to have sex with whatever gender or orientation you want, once you've made contact etc. Some days I want to be with a woman, some a man. Why can't men be allowed that discretion too? If you are open to same sex activity you should say you are bi or bi curious. That doesn't mean that every time you play you will play with someone of the same sex. Our issue is that most men who say they are straight on their profiles but respond to an ad for bi guys will either be lying to get at a woman or have issues of shame around their sexuality. Neither are our thing. " I have a girlfriend (fellow fabber) who won't meet men who say they are bi.. She says she has no problem with anyone's sexuality but when it comes to sexual contact with her, she can't get over the fact that a guy is/was/could be playing with another man. She is a just one! Plenty out there think the same! Unfortunately, women's bi-ness is celebrated and encouraged by society. Men, it's still got a very negative stigma attached to it- even on a site like this. So a little bit of understanding..it's just a tick box..all you have to do is ask. | |||

"And I am sure if a single female who has straight on her profile, contacted a couple because she was curious and interested in playing with them both, she wouldn't be so harshly judged. Doubt you would delete her profile without engaging in a conversation with her. You have your "evil conniving single male" goggles on when you are reading messages from "straight" men interested in bi play. Take them off and talk to the PERSON. " our response would be and has been exactly the same if a single straight female contacts us...they're not what we're interested in so we just delete...straight couples, exactly the same... we're not mind readers nor are we here to perform some kind of public service, teasing out of people what exactly it is they're looking for because they're unable or unwilling to be up front about why they're here...we get along quite nicely with the people who make it easy to see that we may be compatible from the start... | |||

Lets end the cults reign and go back to basics... Fab...come have fun explore, grow and forget societys silly bickering...freedom is here, have not signed up here for societys halo vigilantes to have a pop at omg those people .... the bi folk.....pitch forks ready... | |||

" Yes but they are not sending you subliminal messages hoping you would read their mind. This is person is making contact, what's wrong with discussing what you're both looking for without getting hung up on a tick box? What's the difference if the guy ticked bisexual and he's lying? This is just as likely. Whatever they've labelled themselves you won't know if they're for you until you chat to the person. | |||

" Because you don't necessarily join this site at the end of your sexual self discovery journey- some are just starting it. It doesn't state in the terms that you have to know exactly what you want when you fill in your profile. Like I said earlier, a guy could say he's bi, this has as much worth as him saying he's not. You won't know what they want or are willing to do until you talk. | |||

Why are you giving that so much importance? People sometimes meet outside their specified age range, do we block them too because they said up to 30yrs and you're 32? Something they could have chosen when they joined ages before!! I myself have chatted to couples and completely forgot that I had left it as Straight- from over 2 yrs ago. Only remembered when I saw a similar thread.. All the couples still spoke to me though. Why can't a single male be afforded the same respect? Yeah there are tons of deceitful people on here, whether they say straight/bi/whatever. | |||

The point is that those of us who are honest get stigma largely because most people who are bi don't have the balls to admit it.

Why so hung up on a silly internet label that HARDLY covers the plethora of fluid sexualities out there!? Someone messages you for bi play, talk, see if you match.

"Let me ask this. If a woman says she's straight, but isnt. And on occasions like to play with couples and women- what do people think of that? Because that's essentially the same? Exactly! I doubt she'd be labelled a sneaky lying shit because it's sexy and acceptable for a 'straight' woman to have an experimental side at times. For a guy it's underhand and deceitful .... " Exactly! I'm straight but will play with ladies, if they're about and the mood is right. I'm certainly not bisexual, and don't 'fancy' women, though. Maybe I'm just a weasly sneaky lying shit? | |||

"So to summarise it appears that guys who say they are straight but are open to same-sex activities might not say they are bi for the following reasons. 1. They are afraid of the stigma that comes with being openly bi. 2. They think saying they are bi might lessen their chances with women and couples. 3. They have issues coming to terms with their sexuality 4. They don't believe in limiting labels like bi and straight. 5. Whilst they will engage in same sex activities their primary attractions is to women 6. They are not really attracted to same sex activity but are willing to tolerate it if it means they get to have sex with a woman. We wouldn't be agin meeting someone in categories 4 and 5 but we would expect some explanation in your profile. Otherwise saying you are straight just misleads.

Firstly there is no need to patronise me "sweet pea". Secondly, nowhere in any of my posts did I say it was ok to engage with generic timewasting messages from users. By all means delete as soon as you see the words tits! The debate is about whether a male should be deleted/blocked if they contact you for bi play when profile says straight. The OP has summarised brilliantly. | |||

Questioning the importance of labels seems to be the same as questioning the importance of words unless I'm missing something? " I think you can validly argue that of the categories available on here re sexuality none properly apply to you. However, I think that's a bit precious. We all know that saying you are bi or bi curious on here means you are open to same-sex activities and saying you are straight means you are not. When you participate in a community you have to accept words in the sense in which the community use them otherwise you can't participate. Saying on here the terms bi or straight don't apply to you is a bit liking being a footballer and when asked if you are a forward, a defender or whatever saying that you don't accept the use of terms like that don't apply to you. People will have no fucking idea where you play and hence will not give you a game. | |||

"Not harsh but the guy may not be out We are not out in the sense that our family and friends don't know we swing If you are prepared to say you are a swinger on this site what's the issue with saying you are bi. Because you don't necessarily join this site at the end of your sexual self discovery journey- some are just starting it. It doesn't state in the terms that you have to know exactly what you want when you fill in your profile. Like I said earlier, a guy could say he's bi, this has as much worth as him saying he's not. You won't know what they want or are willing to do until you talk. " | |||

"Ok, I'll run an experiment. I am actually bi curious but marked as straight for the reasons mentioned previously. I will change my profile now to bi curious and I will count the number of offensive guys who message me. I'll be back soon with an answer." It's your profile, do you what you like, but your reasons for putting straight don't make a lot of sense to us. Good luck luck | |||

"Let me ask this. If a woman says she's straight, but isnt. And on occasions like to play with couples and women- what do people think of that? Because that's essentially the same? Exactly! I doubt she'd be labelled a sneaky lying shit because it's sexy and acceptable for a 'straight' woman to have an experimental side at times. For a guy it's underhand and deceitful .... Exactly! I'm straight but will play with ladies, if they're about and the mood is right. I'm certainly not bisexual, and don't 'fancy' women, though. Maybe I'm just a weasly sneaky lying shit?" No, just confusing. | |||

"The amount of guys that message me is un-real. I have that I am bi-curious (not bisexual, cause there is a big difference), and happy to play with both in a couple scenario but not MM. Why have people got to lie?! Especially on a site like this, what have you got to hide?? Makes me wonder how people go about living their day to day lives if they are not even honest with themselves to begin with. " I totally agree. I'm down as bi-curious as I am. I would love the opportunity to play with a couple and try and discover my bi sexuality. I tend to find (probably because of time wasters). That couples don't seam to want to try as I have no experience. I'm trying to be honest say what I like the sound of etc. But all I get is men | |||

"We can often advertise to meet bi guys and get quite a few responses from guys whose profile says they are straight. When asked about this discrepancy they usually say something about being discreet. That response puts us right off as it suggests either A. They think there is something shameful about being bi hence the need to be "discreet" or B. They are lying about being bi to get access to the woman. Too harsh? " Get so called straight guys msg me all the time ,and when I.point out it says straight on there profile ,the excuses are plenty ,but most common is I don't want to put of woman or they have mates here ,so it's ok for them to know your a swinger ,but heaven forbid they know your bi ,I rest my case lol | |||

"lol IF I was bi and woman didn't want want to fuck because of it I wouldn't tell her, I'd fuck her and wouldn't tell her after, it wouldn't be a problem to me If a woman said to me she's bi I'd still fuck. Nobody has to disclose there sexuality just to make you comfortable. Men please don't message me I like pussy " Obviously people have an absolute right to say what they like about their sexuality. Just as we have an absolute right to not meet people who are dishonest about their sexuality. | |||

" just don't understand the need to go to such extremes and call it "lies" "dishonest" etc. How can you be so judgemental in calling them dishonest about their sexuality just because they don't match how you'd like to label yourself? Why always reply in such defensive manner? Yeah my profile says straight but this morning I'm curious about cock, so? It seems it's better for everyone to just lie and put the most encompassing label (bisexual) that way they are allowed to say I do want to play with a man or I don't without being accused of being a villain.. | |||

"There is nothing better about telling lies when the truth is so much more respectful trustworthy and accurate.... " Yes but why are we judging a lie by a tick box rather than asking the person. I wouldn't take a profile label as a more accurate truth than what the person is saying to me! This is what it's coming across from some, that even if the person tells you they're interested in bi play we can't believe them because whats on their profile as holy? | |||

" If you are happy to play with people of the same sex then, yes, it helps everyone if you call yourself bi or bi curious. To do otherwise leads to confusion and suspicions of dishonesty. To reiterate, you can call yourself what you like. But we can equally suspect dishonesty when what people say to us doesn't seem consistent with what they say on their profile. | |||

"As a bi man it took me years to finally accept and love who I am. On my journey, i struggled to understand my feelings and emotions and labelled myself straight whilst exploring what really turned me on. Trying not to like guys was tough. It was torment and I hated myself for a while. I just wanted to be 'normal'. Even now, I'm not publicly bisexual as it's viewed with suspicion. Quite frankly some people think you are a threat to everything that moves! Unless you have ridden this rollercoaster of hateful emotions, please don't judge those who are still exploring. Not everyone is a seasoned swinger or sexually confident. By all means have your own rules but vilifying people on here just for their inability to pigeonhole themselves is unacceptable. Swinging should be all about free love, sharing sexual adventures and exploring horizons. Play nicely. " We have entire sympathy with what you say and we are not vilifying anyone. However the harsh reality is that we are looking for casual sexual encounters that are fun for all concerned. That's unlikely to happen, in our view, with people who have issues with their sexuality of the type you describe. It may also be the case that swinging is not the wisest thing for them to do. | |||

I have met with couples over the years and it's only been JUST in the last month that I noticed my profile says straight. Completely forgot about it since 2012! There are liars and such, but sometimes there is a genuine explanation and no need to assume the worse. People met me because they asked me what I was looking for and I told them. | |||

I haven't said that but we also wouldn't consider meeting you, answering any message or entering into dialogue because we'd see you listed as straight, wouldn't read your profile and would delete any message from you unread. it would be a waste of our time | |||

For instance if a guy claims to be straight on his profile he get a no thanks.. Only when a guys profile says he is bisexual /bi curious can we establish our sexual preferences are potentially compatible and mutually appealing to the point where a scenario exists of a meet taking place.... I'm not here to play mind games or waste my time trying to access the sort of up-front information I expect to be provided by anyone hoping to get an invite into my home for sex.. As in all life situations there is no defence for lying and no excuse for providing misleading information that qualifies as a genuine reason.. | |||

"I'd go with C - They've grown up around so much negative stigma surrounding bisexuality that they are scared of being outed and victimised if they put it in writing. And that they've been struggling to come to terms with their own sexuality because of that conditioning." I think that's extremely well put ... unfortunately we live in a society that still doesn't accept everyone for who they are depending on their sex And when it comes to sexual preference to be a Bi woman it's deemed as 'hot' by majority of men and women but to be a Bi man it's not as socially acceptable TBH in the right atmosphere even the most 'straight' guys have been a tad Bi curious and that can be extremely hot Can't blame them for not publicly showing but if they contact a bi couple and they seem genuine then could be a great meet | |||
