As swingers in the 21st centuray, do you feel in anyway shape or form margenalised by soiety, a society that promotes sexule freedom but at the same time looks down or forces you to hide your activaties from society.

Not my views just thinking pylisophocally thats all?

Society promotes sexual freedom whilst you're single, it seems to me that extra-marital sex is still viewed as being unfaithful by society and that swinging isn't what "normal" people do, whoever they are!

I'd love to be more open about this side of me, but unfortunately people judge before taking the time to understand - which I think is a general thing and not just related to swinging.

Yes absolutely. Swinging can cost you your job. Gay marriage is overwhelmingly supported, because "love is love", but polyamory is illegal and frowned upon, because love is definately not love.

I'm well aware that in the eyes of the average brit, swingers are about one above paedophiles in the deviant hierarchy. But I've long stopped caring what the average person thinks given that statistically they are headed for a miserable marriage, infidelity and an expensive divorce. Whilst i have an awesome wife, love being married to her and have never been happier.

I think the publics negative perception of swingers is actually caused by a lot of swingers themselves.

The types of people who go on reality tv or documentaries about swinging. I watch those shows and think “what weirdo’s”. I don’t mean to cause offence but it’s usually people with strange personalities and not too attractive that are used to promote swinging to the masses.

Perhaps if more “normal” people were in the spotlight then it wouldn’t be seen as so unusual.

The owner of Jaydees went on a channel 4 show called "without prejudice". He conducted himself well and with dignity but had his character assassinated immediately. One person on the panel said that being a swinger meant he shouldn't be allowed to see his grandchild and he wasn't really given the opportunity to respond.

I think those people are targeted by the program makers though, take the louis Theroux program for example, yes they were all swingers that featured , and yes they were all weird or eccentric therefore giving the impression all swingers are nutters.

I think generally speaking most people are frightened by swinging but also intrigued by it

Most Americans would take a step back and tell you why God hates you if they found out you were a swinger. Then they'd start praying for your soul.

I think British people are less prudish than Americans in this regard. In my experience...

I’ve never felt the need to discuss my sex life with colleagues, family, the press or indeed certain close friends. Not because I’m ashamed or prudish. I respect that, for example, my mother would be shocked, embarrassed and possibly unecessarily worried for me and also it’s no-one’s bloomin’ business but my own.

I also don’t feel an urge to hear about anyone else’s sex life (particularly my mother’s)

I like the cut of this guys jib.

Agree fully btw. And it's not just on tv. If fab is proof of anything it's that the behaviour of swingers leaves a lot to be desired.

When u look at the meet requests or accounts...is it any surprise that people are seen as fickle/narcissistic sex obsessed weirdos. I have little problem being casted as such (because it's true lol) but mother of god, spare me the spiel about being "marginalized" because you're a swinger

I swear everyone wanna be a victim these days.

Looooool

Americans are far, FAAAAR worse when it comes to sexual attitudes. I actually think they have among some of the worst in the western world. Britain is a lot better but we're still kinda behind a lot of nations. I don't think swinging is any indicator of forward thinking sexual attitudes either. The fact polyamory or sexual exploration is relegated to a community of middle aged folk kinda says it all. When I meet southern and central Europeans they seem to be far less neurotic about sexual habits or expression. Especially the women. So much so I often find myself quite intimidated by how comfortable and independent many are sexually.

Short answer. No.

Peoples attitudes are changing. Slowly but surely. About a lot of things not just swinging. Theres still a long way to go of course. I find more of an issue on this very forum quite frankly.

To those of you new or recent to the scene you have never had it so good. (Famous last words in politics I know ). You can read about profiles, clubs, etc and meet based on that. In the past it was virtually blind dating. However in the past if your meet came to fruition it was generally people as committed as yourself.

Yes you would be part of a separate world to society in general but felt part of a special club. Now swinging is massive and not a shock to society in general but I still keep it as separate to my life beyond. I have come across many who are more open and it hasn't stopped their off scene lives continuing as normal. We all have our own comfort zones based on upbringing and experience. I am strictly private. I can't get past that. Hope this makes sense folks.

P.S. I have had conversations over the years with people who are not part of the scene and they are generally either anti or envious. These discussions were without me declaring my hand and it was generally felt of all the people involved in these chats that I was the least likely to swing. But there you go.

We feel that though some swingers are very open about their lifestyle and will chat openly in normal every life, cafe, restaurants.....Morrisons we don't what we do isn't anyone's business we enjoy being part of the swinging world a select club of like minded people....and entry isn't for just anyone!

Our feeling is that most couple just feel that " I couldn't share my wife/husband " but also love the idea ...... I also feel that a lot of none swingers would feel that they couldn't leave their said partner with a swinger for fear of the swinger taking advantage.

A bit like homophobia if you like!

As with being gay or bi or trans, it's (very) gradually improving.

But lgbt is moving forward slightly better as there's more people lgbt than swing I suspect.

Family and friends know I'm bi, they don't know I swing. It's also I think because swinging is still seen in mainly sexual terms rather than also a culture. The 2 very close friends who do know are non-judgmental types in somewhat unusual relationships themselves. But even they focus on the sex and are surprised when I say I've made platonic friends through swinging. That we don't only talk about sex or kink even.

Hopefully attitudes will change.

I'm also 'vanilla' dating but as I'm sure was the case not so long ago in the lgbt world there seem to be key words/phrases to 'suss out' others who would be open to non-monogamous relationships. Tricky.

Meanwhile we just live our lives.

And yes there are quite close friends who I'm sure think I've spent the last 15 years since my divorce being celibate simply because I've not had a serious committed relationship in that time.

I don't think the religious people are especially judgemental. The worst ones i find are the insanely insecure ones who assume that because they live next door to a swinger then my wife is going to try a seduce their overweight, bald, toothless, smelly, dumb-fuck of a husband and steal him away from her.

I do hope so, there is mixed messages about opinion in the literature.

For instance a study by swap s (now defunct) concluded that 1in10 people on the UK are swingers or engaged in swinging activity. (I think they slightly wrong but ok). While another survey by the BBC states or predicted that with each generation has Leeds sexial partners than the generation before it, and their tend not to last as long as well. Their are obvious limitations with both studies.

Obviously it's something you don't tell everyone. We are nudists and are quite open about that, and many go our friends and workmates think that's very odd!

Rose told a couple of her friends that we swing several years back. One thought it was great and said she wished she and her husband had the courage to do it, and the other friend was really shocked that we had sex with other people in front of one another, but she thought that a hidden affair would be OK.

On a slightly different note, we had a bit of a debate at work about bisexuality and transgenderism, and going by the comments and blogs it was quite apparent that people's fears and assumptions of what others would say were by largely unfounded, and the majority of people they came out too were accepting and supportive. I quite imagine coming out as a swinger would be fairly similar.

But ultimately I don't feel the need to go into work and tell them I had anal sex last night so why would I tell people I had group sex?

Have you considered that the more likely scenario is that someone else tells the people at work that you had group sex? Lot's of these replies have said versions of not feeling a need to tell everyone they are a swinger. I don't think that's the fundamental issue, it's more that swingers often face a lot discriminatiom when 'outed'.

I've actually seen it happen, and they didn't face criticism or discrimination they got more of a pat on the back and fair play. I appreciate it's not the same for everyone but it isn't always negative.

We've embraced it, if folk ask then we tell them how it is. You can see the stages they go through from the shock of your openness to inquisition, justification, acceptance then intrigue and then often jealousy. But they always leave informed, knowing that it is still possible to adress your animal instincts and desires whilst staying committed to one partner. It plants a seed in their minds.

They always have mis-conceptions about the scene which are good to dispel, like the 'keys in a bowl' crap that seems to be a popular myth.

One warning though, letting it slip in the workplace means everyone there will know by the end of the shift. It took 24 minutes to get around a factory of 110 people before it got back to me and I was asked about it, stuff like this travels faster that email, so not for the shy haha, but then it was only 2 days before someone else was the gossip. My rep went up so no harm done

Yes absolutely. Swinging can cost you your job. Gay marriage is overwhelmingly supported, because "love is love", but polyamory is illegal and frowned upon, because love is definately not love.

They're not. This is a massive misconception. Listen to anyone who actually works in the club scene and they'll tell you swinging is dying. I was speaking to someone who organised events in Jamaica for swingers and nudists and they told me that the conditions of the venues are increasingly dilapidated because there just is not the audience that used to be there. It's a combination of the ubiquity and intrusiveness of technology and the fact that millennials (who should he serving as a replacement) are simply not as promiscuous.

Stop reading papers and start talking and engaging with young people. So so many of them struggle sexually and can't find relationships to save their lives. This is caused by both the fall in soft and social skills of young people and the fact the increased lack of financial security has meant that young people often don't have the means or logistics to accommodate a bachelor lifestyle (access to ones own transport/place to live/steady income).

They're is evidence to suggest that the younger generations will likely have less relationships and possibly less sexule partners. There is an evolution in lower aged milenials who see looking into someone's eyes as a threat not a sighn of showing that you're listening.

The swinging scene you mentioned was of one area in the world, is this the same intentionally?

" I can hereby declare that Scottish Ornithologists' Club, Scouts of China, Serbian Orthodox Church, Société des Ornithologistes du Canada, Society of Cartographers, Special Olympics Canada, and the Syrian Opposition Coalition ALL thinks it is an absolute DISGRACE that needs to stop now and I entirely agree with them.

Filthy lot, you all are!

Haha. "

I suppose it all depends what you mean by swinging. Our take is that we have a relationship where we both have casual sex with other people. I (the male) would have no issue with people knowing that, and I don't think I would face any serious discrimination because of it. People might think I was a bit strange, but I wouldnt lose my job or anything.

On the other hand, people generally don't really want to know the details of other people's sex lives, so it's not something I broadcast. I think my grown up children know my sex life is an unconventional one, but like all kids they really don't want to think about their parents sex life.

Katie is open with some of her friends but is much circumspect at work. Primarily because people will view a non monogamous woman more negatively than they would a man.

Are you sure? I would say that most people gravitate towards gossip like flies to shit

"Ive found people are more curious and intrigued and admit to having thoght about it.

When you are honest and own it and tell it how it is. Often people join the site.They definately love the fact its a lifestyle choice and very sociable not seedy etc

Its only those nowadays with srtong religious believes that really frown upon us and judge x"

Perfectly put 'when your honest and you own it'. Love that! It's a lifestyle choice and absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

I have no problem with people knowing I'm a Swinger and would discuss my sex life no more or less than I would were I not one.

Maybe we hang around with different people

Where I work if I were to volunteer what I get up to sexually most people would find it highly distasteful and think I was a tosser. Hence I don't.

I know some circles where discussing sex is frowned upon, but i always considered them less usual than the ones where it wasn't.

Once there was a girl at work who had a homemade porn video go on the t'internet. The whole office had seen it by lunchtime, the cleaner and security guard by the end of the day and probably the CEO by the next morning.

"As swingers in the 21st centuray, do you feel in anyway shape or form margenalised by soiety, a society that promotes sexule freedom but at the same time looks down or forces you to hide your activaties from society.

Not my views just thinking pylisophocally thats all?

Yes absolutely. Swinging can cost you your job. Gay marriage is overwhelmingly supported, because "love is love", but polyamory is illegal and frowned upon, because love is definately not love.

I'm well aware that in the eyes of the average brit, swingers are about one above paedophiles in the deviant hierarchy. But I've long stopped caring what the average person thinks given that statistically they are headed for a miserable marriage, infidelity and an expensive divorce. Whilst i have an awesome wife, love being married to her and have never been happier. "

I have worked in the law for over twenty years. I have never known anyone discuss sex at work. As you say it probably depends on the area in which you work.

I am sure people do talk about sex, but not at work. I think that's pretty standard in many workplaces these days.

Lots of people talk about sex at work but when asked what did you do at the weekend I'm yet to hear anyone say they finally ticked anal off the bucket list! Reference to sex at work is usually more generic and less specific and personal either that or my collegues are complete prudes.
