To think swinging is URRGH!?

There is are two couples on This Morning just now talking about their love for swinging. They're just your normal looking every day couples. One couple own a swinging hotel and they do to clubs.

I find this really sleazy and just plain weird. She's saying that it's really common amongst primary school teachers too!!

Eeeew I bet they'll be swapping after the show.

AIBU to think this is a very strange thing to do and be so open about?

Are you mundanes all breathtakingly gorgeous? And have you only ever had sex with people who are breathtakingly gorgeous, with gym-toned bodies, perfect teeth, expensively-cut hair and couture underwear?
If not, why the shuddering distaste for perfectly average body types: older, chubbier, ginger?

I read it as 'clit bag'. Confused

I was actually starting to try to visualise what on earth being dipped into a clit bag might involve, when I spotted my mistake. Being 'dipped in Cilit Bang' is hilarious though. Grin

Well if I am going to have random, love-free sex then I would want it to be with some I was utterly attracted to so yes, it would have to be someone gorgeous (whatever you think that to be).

If sex is with someone I love, however, then perfectly average body is fine.

FellatioNelson · 14/01/2011 12:55

No, SGB, but the thought of us all writhing around together, bingo wings flapping and bald spots sweating is a bit grim.Grin

OMG, I am laughing out loud so much now that people in my office are staring at me.

Malificence · 14/01/2011 12:59

I wouldn't care if all swingers were Brad and Angelina clones, swinging would still be the least erotic prospect on the planet.

Chaya, you are making perfect sense my dear. Smile Dogs on heat aint a sexy look.

FellatioNelson · 14/01/2011 13:01

Yep, Chaya, that's it exactly.

Hullygully · 14/01/2011 13:02

I don't swing.
I haven't been to a swingers' club.

But all you sneerers sound so...70s, parochial, surburban and small-minded. I expect to see you on your doorsteps, putting the milk bottles out, frowning at her over the road who hasn't bleached her nets this week.

sephrenia · 14/01/2011 13:06

OTheHugeManatee I read it that way too and got visuals only, I giggled. I'm guessing that makes me an official member of the weirdo club now Grin

Malificence · 14/01/2011 13:08

Bang and the clit is gone!

sephrenia · 14/01/2011 13:09

I actually laughed out loud at that Mal!

chaya5738 · 14/01/2011 13:13

I don't mind being called parochial amd small-minded if it means not having sex with the people and in the place LeQueen describes.

UnquietDad · 14/01/2011 13:23

Am loving Le Queen's pen-pictures of swingersville. It sounds like some kind of Ken Russell version of Center Parcs, starring the woman who played the group leader in 80s sitcom "Dear John": "you will enjoy it".

chaya5738 · 14/01/2011 13:26

Didn't LeQueen say her DH had been a drama student? It makes sense now. She could totally write a play about a swingers club.

Where are you LeQueen? We need another installment!

stillbobbysgirl · 14/01/2011 13:28

I think I am just too lazy to put in the effort involved in all this. I could not be bothered to look up websites, pay me subs, make conversation with said swingers etc ... maybe dogging would be more my thing!

ClaireDeLoon · 14/01/2011 13:29

I pissing myself at Brenda and her clipboard Grin

There has to be a BBC3 sitcom in this.

StuffingGoldBrass · 14/01/2011 13:37

LeQueen: I have been to lots of swingers clubs and found a mix of people. Some of whom have been utterly gorgeous.

But we live in a culture which tells everyone that they are imperfect unless they spend a lot of money on clothes, diets, gym membership and 'grooming products', and that if they don't spend that money they are not entitled to have a sex life, so it's not surprising that a lot of mundanes are narrow-minded about other people's appearance.

chaya5738 · 14/01/2011 13:38

I would totally shag a sultry Argentinian salsa dancing stranger on an empty beach as cicadas trill. Just not with my husband watching and Brenda with her clipboard timing the whole thing and adjusting my nipple clamps as I go.
