Had a friend on fab suspended from her job pending an investigation because a stalker messages her work place stating she was a swinger. She luckily kept her job as it couldn't be proved.

So what's your thoughts folks, do you know, have experience of job problem due to being a swinger.

The only reason you could lose your job is if you pictured yourself in something that identifies your employers or use it to bribe/coerce a colleague or something similar.

If they suspended her for simply being a swinger, I sugges she sues the pants of them as that is UTTERLY illegal.

It depends on your job I suppose.

I would say for the most part it shouldn't impact your job whatsoever however, I imagine if you were a teacher for example it "could" be deemed inappropriate especially if it ran the risk of meeting parents of potential pupils. This could in turn result in you being told to "behave" appropriately or leave the job.

They stated to her that if found guilty they would be acting that she was bring her company into disrepute.

I'm sure if they had tons of proof, photos of her swinging with couples or doing something dodgy in regarding form fabswingers then they would have taken it further but she got out of it somehow

but she's just an example I used, I'm talking about any jobs or important jobs etc..

If there is a risk to the employers reputation then yeah you could potentially lose your job, doesnt apply only to swinging of course.

Most employers will have a section in your contract or t's & c's regarding bringing the company into disrepute.

Unless you are pictured swinging in a works livered vehicle or in a uniform or of course your actual place of work then I would think you would be able to sue the arse of whoever sacked you for your own private persuits

Can you be sacked for enjoying weekend walks ? Going to football?

The phrase used is usually "bringing the company name into disrepute"

But if it's in private life (not work) and not wearing a uniform or logo, tell the company that its no concern of theirs.

And inform the police about the stalker.

I've had morality clauses in contracts before. I don't know exactly how far I'd need to go or what proof there would need to be to terminate a contract though but certainly something that could be threatened. Certainly stopped the porn career alongside the 9-5 happening though

Yes.

I have clauses in my contract regarding 'conduct unbecoming' and 'bringing into disrepute'.

I know of a teacher who lost her job and a policeman who lost his.

She was outed by an ex pupil and he was reported by a couple at a meet. Don't know the details of the meet.

Some people are in positions where they may have to make judgements on other people’s lives .. magistrates, police officers, social workers etc. If someone could prove those people were leading what could be considered immoral lives it could make their jobs difficult and skew people’s opinion of their ability to judge or support others.

Sadly, swinging os still considered immoral by some and could change the way others view us so many of us like our private lives to remain that way.

I run my own business, so unless I wanted to fire myself I’m sure I’ll be fine!

It’s also worth stating that in my view it would be thoroughly against the rules to dismiss someone for doing something legal in their private life, especially if there’s no mention of the company. I’d never put anything like that in an employment contract anyway.

Not me but my ex disliked a guy i was swinging with before him but it turned out he was a controller. He rang the person job up most of told lies like been in my house while working. Not the case, I was in the car an him my ex sat next to me. I got a call from the guy job. Asking questions one what I was told were lies and two i should never have been contacted. The guy kept his job because he hadn't done anything wrong. But my ex was lived cause I didn't do what he wanted. The guy worked within the government..

"It depends on your job I suppose.

I look at it this way..... if a person is homosexual and frequents gay bars and occasionally meets up with other gay people for sex, (which also happens in ‘normal’ bars), would anything be said to them about this? You can bet your ass it wouldn’t be as they would be sued so fast their feet wouldn’t touch the ground......

it’s no different than 50 odd years ago when people were being victimised in their jobs for being gay..

It’s because swinging is the last taboo

Depends totally on the job, the company & your contractual requirements.

If your contract has a clause about ‘disrepute’ then chances are you could potentially lose your job if found out.

Also if you work in a job where you need to adhere to certain standards - religious roles, social workers etc

But there are a lot of roles where you might not lose your job directly, but your career option may become restricted, passed over for promotions, moved to different departments that are not what you want to do etc ... forcing you out that way.

It’s going to be different for everyone!

The disrepute clause is often a 'catch all' that some companies use to good effect - two managers where I used to work lost their jobs for what was deemed to be disreputable behaviour outside both the workplace and working hours...

Scenarios

If your a teacher in a primary school, a parent is informed that the school teacher is a swingers, says what site, profile details, pictures etc.., that parent tells other parents, do you think the parents who are non swingers wont do anything about it, they will go to school to protest, to take their child out. the school will then have to take action, suspension with pay etc.. until proven as the schools reputation will be put online and if its a private school, certainly reputation is important.

A man or female of the cloth, same scenario, do you think they would still be able to keep their job.

A member of parliament caught out as a swinger, do you think they will keep their job, might be forced to quit etc...

Footballers you say, as an ex professional player who is now a coach, I work for a professional football team in the youth section, yes I believe I could lose my job if parents found out I was a swinger. Footballers are in a precarious job because company reputation is so very important.

Only a few examples I have given that I do not know if you could or could not lose your job because of those situations were to arise.

Similar situation.

I was always discreet about being a swinger, confided in no one.

I ran my own business at Airport with 45 workers. I brought in big accounts to keep everyone busy. Some government accounts, some with private schools etc... all workers who were dealing with clients, customers, under age had to go through disclosure.

If it was found out but my main clients that I was a swinger, I know for a fact I would have lost some of those contracts, if I did I would have had to let most of the workers go so they would lose their job due to swinging , indirectly. Not the same as direct involvement, I give you that but I would lose the contracts because it was bring these companies into disrepute thus, contract lost

Only if they are unsolicited.

And if you all want to take this further, how about checking out some of the photos on this site that are moderated before being shown and clearly break UK law.

Swinging and having a job does not bring anything into disrepute but if you posted compromising pics of you in your uniform or capitalised on your job to get sex then you are clearly stupid and in hot water.

I don't think that is true.

The Equality Act makes it illegal to discriminate on the grounds of sexuality, that's true.

So it would make no difference if your Cert 18 pics that appeared in the Sun were of opposite-sex or same-sex - you'd get the sack either way at my work place.

Lots of ifs......

If their contract mentions codes of conduct and behaviours.

If their contract mentions bringing the company into disrepute or impacting on its reputation.

If they're breaking the law.

If their actions can be seen to be breaching these terms, probably.

If the contract doesn't and they're doing nothing wrong, probably not.

To the best of my knowledge you can't be fired for being a swinger.

Swinging is a lifestyle choice it is not sexual orientation therefore not a protected characteristic.

The disrepute clause is absolutely a catch all and if a company want you out it can and would be used very effectively.

Most people see this site and their activities linked to it or elsewhere as a small part of their life that's just not worth risking their livelihood over.

Like so many have said it is your private life and for the most part people appreciate discretion.

Lastly I think not having a public face picture, being careful what you post and just being cautious in general is wise. While some may spout the whole I'm not ashamed card or its my life my choice, I think personally they are reckless

One guy at work was outed from a porn site which involved body fluids and other things. Him and his wife charge a subscription for viewing their movies. Everyone knows about it now and work couldn't care less as he turns up does his work and goes home. The job we do involves being responsible for the safety of literally hundreds of people at a time while they are with us for the short time we have them.

"Swinging is a lifestyle choice it is not sexual orientation therefore not a protected characteristic.

You are correct but there is a little wiggle room in there I think.

A happily married bisexual person has the option of openly having sex with a same sex partner or sneaking about behind their partners back.

You could argue that swinging is the way in which a married person can fully express their sexuality without lying to their partner.

That brings it into the protected area. Most HR departments would run a mile before testing that in court.

Many people could lose their jobs over that lot, and often do because it’s usually a breach of their terms of employment.

Had a friend on fab suspended from her job pending an investigation because a stalker messages her work place stating she was a swinger. She luckily kept her job as it couldn't be proved.

So what's your thoughts folks, do you know, have experience of job problem due to being a swinger.

My employer is fully aware that I am non monogamous as i became that a number of people i came across in day to day business communications were also on the scene. I opted to out myself rather than have it become an opportunity for accusations of wrongdoing, threats of being outed (b*ackmail) etc, and it has never been an issue. All my employer seems to care about is whether or not I'm good at my job and as what I do in my private time doesn't affect that there doesn't seem to be an issue.

Admittedly I'm not going out dogging in a sign written vehicle in company uniform, if i was there might be a different take on it. But I'm not, so there isn't.

I think the posting naked pics and pics engaging in sexual acts, is more of an issue than being a swinger.

Someone in a job that makes decisions such as a policeman/woman, judge, bank manager, (list is endless those are for example purposes only), anyone in a position that having their pics seen online would open them up to being bla£%mailed etc, I think this is part of the issue.

Of course plenty clauses in contracts (all of my previous jobs) include bringing the company into disrepute.

When I worked for police, we had plenty presentations and warnings about not even being allowed to be on dating websites. Not mentioning on fb about who we are employed by.

I don't think its necessarily bout discriminating against swingers, however I know its an issue in some circumstances.

Its a lot about being bribed, bla£*mailed into making decisions and judgements and making very very bad decisions in order to hide the photos etc.

Do you think a person working for a religious organization can be a swinger? And still represent the organization....

Please explain this to me.....

I know one minister who is a serial adulterer. He just says sorry and moves to a different parish. I know of four churches he has worked in so far and played around with married women in each. We also have the Catholic priests who fiddle with kids or father kids and still stay in the church.

I would guess that if you can do that and get away with it then swinging is low on the list.

Yes you can.

I've known people lose jobs for what companies have stated were breaches of reputational disrepute clauses where innappropriate behaviour has been publicly displayed. These include verbal abuse when d*unk, posting contraversial statements on social media and yes - even public nudity. Two took them to tribunals and lost.

So since it's happened for those I've no doubt swinging could equally be construed as a breach.

It's not hard to avoid though. Just don't post full body and face graphic nudes or anything explicit that can identify you. Keep your face pics vanilla. Even if someone disclosed it to your work with the fabswingers logo on them you just front it out and say it's been done without your knowledge.

Surely a job is more important than any sense of 'i'm doing nothing wrong'?

Principles don't put food on the table.

I would suggest that no reasonable person who knows unreliable statutory interpretation is would want to be the first to take their company's 'morality' or 'disrepute' clause to a tribunal.

Readers of the forum will remember the twists and turns of the case of the cake and the writing supporting gay marriage.

If your work is fine with swinging go ahead and go public but those who are wary should not be treated as weak cowards. A lot of corporations and organisations would look dimly on employees swinging.

I would also suggest that fetish activity where consensual harm is caused is the last taboo.

If your profession has a code of conduct that states you will uphold the public's confidence in that profession, then that is a can of worms. As we know the general public may not approve of swinging. Especially if the media are stirring it up. Not just swinging that can be an issue. Consider the social workers struck off the SW register as they shared a cartoon pic by email. Was the time of the Gary glitter scandal and the cartoon showed a man going through airport customs with a child stuffed in the suitcase. Distasteful yes. But each shared it privately. But through their work email. Nobody outside their friend circle knew until Press found out, big furore, 'public confidence' allegedly shattered. Imagine your entire profession being lost for that? Basically sharing a sick meme. Then imagine the press finding you were a swinger and outing you? Once press is involved absolutely jobs could be lost for being a swinger. Although if it happened to me I would fight it tooth and nail.

"Taken from the equality act

IANAL (I’m not a lawyer... but also, ha!) but whilst those are protected characteristics none of them directly correlate to swinging. So for certain roles discussed previously (of a religious, social care, teaching nature) would likely be able to at least argue the disrepute or moral standards angle.

A lot of folk are saying “an employer wouldn’t dare... they’d get sued” etc. Which may well be the case... but would you want to put yourself through that and have to deal with lawyers, tribunals and the like for months? It boils down to the individuals appetite for risk in my opinion.

"Swinging is a lifestyle choice it is not sexual orientation therefore not a protected characteristic.

The disrepute clause is absolutely a catch all and if a company want you out it can and would be used very effectively.

Most people see this site and their activities linked to it or elsewhere as a small part of their life that's just not worth risking their livelihood over.

Like so many have said it is your private life and for the most part people appreciate discretion.

A thought experiment. What do you think more people would think was worse from a moral point of view

A. Cheating on your partner or

B. Swinging with your partner

I think most people would agree A. Most employers would not sack someone for having an affair. Given that it seems to me difficult to argue that an employee swinging would bring the company into disrepute.

"Some people are in positions where they may have to make judgements on other people’s lives .. magistrates, police officers, social workers etc. If someone could prove those people were leading what could be considered immoral lives it could make their jobs difficult and skew people’s opinion of their ability to judge or support others.

Sadly, swinging os still considered immoral by some and could change the way others view us so many of us like our private lives to remain that way.

"Taken from the equality act

Swinging is not covered. It’s a sexual behaviour or preference, rather than an orientation as far as the law is concerned. So you’ve no legal cover under the equality act.

If an employer wanted to end your contract because of a morality clause, they could.

Of course you can lose your job.

'Bringing the company into disrepute' is a sackable offense, especially for public servants - police, teachers, NHS workers etc etc. You can try to take it to an employment tribunal if you want, but it would be a waste of your money. Look at your contact, these days they even tell you about social media posts being against the company ethos will result in termination. You think swinger's stand much of a chance in comparison?

Most other public facing employers will not tolerate known swinger's in their employ and why should they? Most will agree that it's your business but as soon as it's public knowledge it takes a different dimension.

I know for a fact that my company would get rid of me within 5 minutes of confirmation of this lifestyle. Therefore, I hope, they'll never find out

Haven't read the thread in detail, but I would actually be incredibly surprised if any employer tried to get away with firing a swinger provided they were open about it and whatever they got up to was 100% legal and consensual.

CofE, perhaps. Organisation devoted to sexual abstinence, probably!

But I think that the key thing for me would be the open-ness (I'm not, but that's because my nilla friends wouldn't get it). It's when people are ashamed that the possibility for coming under pressure opens up, which would scare the hell out of me if an employee was handling potentially sensitive information....

I know of a female swinger who was "outed" to the Company she worked for.

They were going to fire her, but then she declared that she was bi-sexual and swinging was her only safe way to meet other bi-sexual women.

Apparently the HR dept at her Company self-destructed when trying to work out the legal ramifications.

She kept her job.

You can be sacked for being a swinger if it is linked to your company and that they feel it affects their reputation and brings the company into disrepute.

Therefore you should never have on your profile who you work for or give an obvious hint. A classic example is the number of Army guys who show photos of themselves in uniform.

Provided there are no obvious links then everybody on here should be safe and it would be a tough for any Company and HR department to sack a person.

Yes of course.

For example if your face is on your profile and someone recognised you and sends it to your boss, they could argue that it could bring the wrong attention to work & let you go.

I don’t agree with it at all, but sadly this happens.

A lady friend of mine is an escort and was sacked after a disgruntled ex sent her escort profiles to her boss which had her face on them.

Your first few words nailed it; "As long as your personal activities don't interfere with your work......" if your activities bring the company into disrepute, attract unwanted publicity, they most certainly interfere with your work.

The self employed people who say " I can't sack myself" are naive too. Yes, you can't sack yourself, but your customers and clients can desert you in droves.

That's why contracts of employment have morality and disrepute clauses, to protect the company image.

"As long as your personal activities don't interfere with your work it shouldn't ever be an issue as far as I'm concerned

Infact as an employer I may only employ swingers from now on lol

Plus Xmas office party be more fun joking aside someone's lifestyle choice shud not get them sacked swinger or anything else

The self employed people who say " I can't sack myself" are naive too. Yes, you can't sack yourself, but your customers and clients can desert you in droves.

"I know of a female swinger who was "outed" to the Company she worked for.

They were going to fire her, but then she declared that she was bi-sexual and swinging was her only safe way to meet other bi-sexual women.

Apparently the HR dept at her Company self-destructed when trying to work out the legal ramifications.

She kept her job."

Sexuality clause. Clever!

"You can be sacked for being a swinger if it is linked to your company and that they feel it affects their reputation and brings the company into disrepute.

Therefore you should never have on your profile who you work for or give an obvious hint. A classic example is the number of Army guys who show photos of themselves in uniform.

Provided there are no obvious links then everybody on here should be safe and it would be a tough for any Company and HR department to sack a person."

Agree with this. Some employers do specify that employees are not to put anything on social media that could identify them as working for the company. Such as company name, pictures with company uniform, logo etc. If you don't breach that then the company has no ground to stand on sacking you.

Can a person be sacked for going out clubbing and shagging someone different every Saturday night? Can a person be sacked for having an affair? Can a person be sacked for meeting folk for sex from tinder or PoF? Can a person be sacked for shagging someone they've just met in a shop? Why would being a "swinger" be any different?

Also to note, being suspended at work is not a punishment. It takes the accused out of the situation and allows an impartial and thorough investigation. Seems these allegations were made, it was looked into and nothing came of it so the person went back to work.

That's ultimately what swinging is, having sex with folk. I highly doubt anyone would be sacked for shagging someone they'd met on a night out but could be if they'd shagged someone they'd met on a swingers site? Lawyers would have an absolute field day with that.

"Yes you can.

I think, in most jobs, as long as you don't broadcast your activities or do anything to connect your employer with your activities, then it would be hard for an employer to argue that being a swinger per se brings them into disrepute.

However where adhering to "conventional" standards of morality is expected then the situation is different. Certainly, a swinger working for a religious organisation could probably be sacked.

Teachers are interesting. I think it would depend on what sort of swinging you do. If you define yourself as non monagamous and merely swap partners, I think you'd probably be OK. Gangbangs and dogging might be different...

If you're caught using this site during company time ... then yes probably, but that's not because you're a swinger

Otherwise people's personal life is exactly that.

The bringing the company into disrepute is a minefield .. how are you doing that of no one here knows who you work for etc?

If you have profile pictures that identifies the company you work for ... that's a different matter

Finally, for those with security clearance, you have too all yourself the question, would you be embarrassed of people knew you were part of the scene, and would you be open to coercion or manipulation at the threat of being "outed"?

I've known of instances where a teacher has posted provocative pictures on line eg on facebook. Parents, students and governors have discovered them and the teacher's credibility has been left in tatters. Resignation has been the suggestion put forward to them. I'm guessing the same thing could happen if they were discovered on a swinging site.

Parents can be terribly hypocritical when it comes to the private lives of teachers compared to their own.

But that's what I mean about being discreet. If you don't post pics where you could be identified, I think merely saying "my partner and I are non monogamous", would be no different to a teacher being gay or bi.

I remember a number of years ago a teacher at a local school had her phone stolen by a pupil. On the phone was a video of her having sex apparently with her boyfriend. The video was made public by this pupil. There was outrage among parents. Not at the little thief but at the teacher. Calls were made to the school for her to be sacked. The school told the complainants to fuck off.

You and I would think so. However it isn't so long since teachers needed to keep their sexuality quiet if they weren't straight. If you're outed as anything other than monogomous, regardless of how discreet you've been your life can be made very uncomfortable if you're a teacher.

I know its hard for people to believe or understand but it does happen.

Indeed. But I think people's expectations re sex lives of people like teachers have changed. Kids would no doubt make jokes as I am sure they do about gay teachers, but as long as the behaviour was not too out there I think it unlikely there was a problem.

If you work with the public e.g. carer, teacher, police officer, social worker etc you could be sacked if they got information regarding your unusual sexual activities e.g. pics films ads etc.

Like anything else in the adult industry we are all tarred with the same brush if our sexual conduct can be used to discredit you or your employer's, bribes etc can have serious effect depending on your job.

For this reason we ourselves don't work with / film / photograph private sector workers because of the high moral scrutiny of uk citizen's compared to that of other European people.

There is no reason why you would lose your job - your private life is private and having sex is not illegal. You can be as private (or not) as you feel appropriate on this site.

Like with anything else that is seen as ‘alternative’ it’s often better to keep this side of your life within the right circles.

If you are a primary school teacher working in a CofE school then sure - your lifestyle is under some scrutiny, so be sensitive to that.

I (Mr) used to have a very high level of clearance for my job and was told that so long as I declared everything then it would be fine as the danger was of being blackma**ed or coerced into disclosing information.

Remembered this from a couple of years ago

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3865566/The-swinging-detective-Policeman-investigation-posted-pictures-uniform-swingers-website.html

The guy was eventually dismissed from the Police force. As has been said many time before if you compromise your employer then you can be dismissed.

One big issue is even if it unlawful for a company to dismiss you, they may still do so. The win ratio at employment tribunal remains low and the compensation even if you win (almost no one actually gets reinstated) are not normally great either. Then there's your legal fees.

My advice? Join a trade union, there not perfect but good to have when you need them
