FabSwingers.com forum: Just looking to hook up, or looking for friends too?

By (user no longer on site) OP

Hello everyone,

We are new to the swing side of things (long time kinksters) and we were just wondering, do people come here purely to hook up or are people looking to make friends too?

We enjoy the social/community side of kink and was wondering if there is a similar thing here in the swing world?

Our profile shows we are looking for unicorns

but we would also like to meet like minded couples for friendship, meeting at clubs/socialising etc, does that happen and if so how do you got about it?

years ago when I was half of a swinging couple we got quite pally with a few of our conquests - the ones we had other things in common with, and enjoyed each others' company as well as the shagging. I could easily see a swing partner becoming a friend (although, strangely, find it near-impossible to imagine an existing vanilla friend becoming a swing partner)

Thanks for the reply, but for us we aren't looking to play with couples, we are looking for couple friends we could socialise with in the swing/kink scene.

We have vanilla friends but sometimes you want a conversation with people who you can be open and honest with and not say "No we didn't do anything at the weekend, just stayed in"

People will generally only be friends with you in the swinging scene if there is a chance of playing, so maybe keep it to yourselves you are not looking to play and you’ll find lots of temporary friends

You will find they soon disappear once it’s established you don’t want to play with them

I came on originally to hook up and nothing more, now though the more i use the site the more i can see people are actually quite friendly. Changed my perspective on it so if i can make a few friends along the way, as well as hooking up, I will be a happy fella

Considering you've been on here for over 4 years, I am a little surprised that you haven't worked that one out yet.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoy the social side too but we would expect to have play too with any friends we did meet regularly.

Exactly this .

Why would you think they would want to be friends with you if you aren’t going to play with them ?

For most of us time is precious , and to have friends who just want to chat about sex ( they have or want to have ) is not the best , or most productive way to spend this time .

Because can't people be friends if they don't want to play with them?

I suppose we are used to a different kind of social scene, if I am honest it sounds a 'you only get if you give' kind of place

I agree time is precious but do people just go to events to shag and then leave?

People do make friends at events and clubs and may never play with each other. But as far as making time to meet friends on scene most would meet those that they get best of both from.

By only looking for that unicorn you are limiting your chances massively as that makes it seem it’s just what you 2 want.

For my bi side (female) I’d happily meet as couples and just girls play guys watch or play with own partner etc and have done this on many occasion.

Loads of great clubs around for the social scene where you can meet and chat to

But it is what we two want, it would be a lie if we said we wanted to swap with a couple as she is only interested in ladies and we would hate to lead anyone on. Don't get me wrong we know how limiting it is and we aren't expecting to meet anyone soon, but we want to be honest about our interests.

I suppose for us we thought there might be like-minded people who meet and chat at events but don't expect you are going to play with them. It sounds a bit like 'why waste my time with someone if they aren't going to help me get my rocks off'

From what I've heard the American scene is more social, make friends, get friendly, get very friendly, get very very friendly

It's a shame the UK scene doesn't really work that way. Having said that, there are people out there who would be quite happy to make friends with sexy kinksters. But, if I'm honest, there'd need to be some attraction there, and the hope of certain "benefits" that might come sometime down the line one "friendly" night

As an aside it's interesting to ponder on the minimum requirement different cultures seem to have before sex can occur. In the US it seems to require friendship for it to even be on the cards. In Europe it seems to require seduction and maybe even wooing before it becomes an option. The brits seem happy to perform quite an efficient handshake before getting straight to it. Interesting...

And neither would we, but it would be a nice extra to have a conversation with like-minded people before we went to fuck, even if it wasn't them we were fucking.

We have loads of ‘friends’ in the swingers scene . The friends we have that we would arrange to meet are people we have played with , and will play with again . There are some we have known for the whole seven years that we have been swinging , and haven't played with , but we only see them if they happen to be at an event or a party that we attend too . We wouldn’t arrange a night especially to meet them , as they wouldn’t to meet us .

It’s that simple really .

We only get one evening a week to swing on , so to spend it listening to a couple who want to share stories of what they did at the weekend doesn’t interest us at all . This is nothing like a ‘ you only get if you give ‘ attitude .

I suppose the confusion for us is that we have come from the kink scene. As there are so many different orientations and interests (Dom/me, sub, gay, straight, bi) that you wouldn't go to an event and expect to meet someone and hook up, instead people attend events as a social thing and build friendship groups and join the community, in the same way people do in the vanilla world. Then, along the way, you meet someone that meets your interests and things go from there.

We mainly play with single guys but have become really good friends with couples and some single ladies. It’s a really social scene and for us the social side is even more important than the playing side.

Love parties, clubs and just hanging out with likeminded people who we can be completely honest and relaxed with.

At clubs no it’s not but is that really a friendship your talking?

The kink and swing scene are very different and I meant by it being about you two what would be in it for the single girl?

If we have the pleasure of a single girl we make the night about her and what she likes and wants from us and we then enjoy that in return.

If we had taken a single girl with us then it would be about all three of us, sorry I presumed you were referring to what would be in it for the other couples we were chatting to.

I think I've made more genuine mates through here than I have anywhere else. Other places you become friends through convenience (work etc) but here you become mates because you like the person for who they are.

As for saying people won't be a friend to you if there's no intention of playing, bollocks.

I've made one friend in particular I'm never gonna get down n dirty with, but I love that person to bits, she is my best friend and we speak every day. I'm grateful every day I have her in my life. We talk about anything and everything.

I've also got those that I do get down n dirty with, however our friendship comes first, genitals second!

Then there's just the ones I fuck.

It was one of the best evenings I’ve ever had there, loads of people chatted, joined in, laughed and we had lots of sex too.

We have friends in this lifestyle we don't play, or ever have. Unlike what someone said earlier that you couldn't find friends here unless you are willing to play, is so not true. There maybe a lot who would say 'don't waste our time' but for us great people are great people, its not always about the sex for us. Get out to clubs and organised socials, you will meet plenty of like minded people who will become friends. We did

Well that depends on a lot of things, we are also kinky, so sometimes there won't be male/female sex, but there might be interaction in a kinky sense between all three participants.

I suggest go along to a club on a regular basis and you will make friends that are not just interested in the sex act.
