It's all in the verb

If you stretch the noun ‘swinger’ to fit all and sundry then it soon means nothing as it applies to every sexually active person on the planet.

Sometimes it’s easier to look at the verb ‘swinging’… so what is it which separates swinging from mainstream conventional sex, whether that is recreational or connubial?

So when Mrs Artful and myself are asked "What you doing tonight?" and we reply "Nothing" we are actually swinging?! Mint!!

That would depend if your 'nothing' was different to mainstream conventional 'nothing'... and where you were doing this 'nothing'.

Remember to get the grown ups one... not the one with big colouring-in pictures of a ball, cat and kite.

Conventional sex! I will think about the other bit when someone can clearly define what conventional sex is these days.

Two people who who have an interpersonal relationship of a sexual nature (either permanent, temporary or fleeting) which excludes all other people from the sexual experience. .... they just want to shag eachother.

Swinging is not a verb. It is a gerund, denoting the name of an activity and functions, to all intents and purposes, as a noun. The verb will have inflections the gerund will not.

Depends on the context of the knee trembler, are you doing it cos u think he will go out with u (pretty much the norm at a certain age) ?Is your partner watching, getting turned on, or is he at home and there is going to be an almighty row when he finds out?

Are you asking whether plenty of people have a swinging attitude without ever logging onto an internet site, well of course, same as thousands do bdsm without knowing there is a word for it.

Context gives words meaning, nothing more.

I’ve never suggested any form of sexual activity has a higher or lower place on an imaginary hierarchy… in fact quite the opposite, hence why I do not feel the need to call casual 1-2-1 sex, regardless of how or where it was arranged, ‘swinging’.

It pisses me off slightly when some dimbo types their justification of why they are better than someone having a shag around the corner from the taxi queue tonight in town and adds 'I'm a swinger'... you can almost here their inner dialog filling in the word 'slag' or 'slapper' about the other woman.

Oh i didnt say you were being hierarchical, as i could see the subtext of your argument. i am 100% in agreement.Some people use the label swinger because they are not comfortable with being unconventional. They find a new tribe with a set of mores and conventions and rather than considering the implications of their sexual behaviour decide that membership is what justifies their actions.
