To think swinging is URRGH!?

[TurkeyBurgerThing]

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?

I think it's skanky but each to their own..as long as they're all consenting and no-one's been pressured in to it then all power to them

I wouldn't take too much notice of the 'school teacher' thing though. It seems whenever swingers, prostitutes, lapdancers etc...are interviewed they always use Teachers, Lawyers and Doctors as examples of people who are in to it Lol. I'm sure they're right...but having the same examples used over and over makes it sound disproportionate.

Thank you fbwife . I did so love the fact that the description was "soft but very durable latex it is water and fade resistant so you could wear this anywhere."

YABU What consenting adults get up to is their business.

You are both having mulitple affairs!

If 80% of the adult population will have been exposed to hpv then it stands to reason that swingers, who have sex with multiple parters ( possibly of either sex too) will have been exposed exponentially more than a faithful couple who have only had a few other previous sexual partners, in addition, you will have been exposed to possibly every known strain of the virus instead of one or two, including the nasty, cancer trigering ones, multiple times. Condoms don't prevent infection with hpv, dental dams may give slight protection orally but how many swingers use those?

Just because you don't agree with it,it doesn't make it wrong.

Mal, I wouldn't do it either, but there's no need to get all super judgey pants about it.

It is pretty minging. My MIL did it and left the pics up on her PC [heave]

Secret! OMG! I would need to bleach my brain!

they don't test for HPV in pregnancy.

Mal, not my cup of tea, but each to their own.
DH used to work with a man who did this. He asked him one day 'do you and kreech swing' Mr Naive (DH) told him no, but we could do the twist. We did live in a dull village.

Mal, I find it odd that you are so judgey about this given you have been on the receiving end of judginess about your sex life.

Each to their own - they are all consenting adults.

oh - look at all those judgey pants.

fbwife- You're not alone

Happily married with DH- We have explored that avenue early in our relationship and it is something we do from time to time (about 2 to 3 times a year). Very much like what fbwife describes, it has enhanced our sex life. I'm bisexual too so it's win-win for me

We are very select about who we meet and in reality we tend to become friends- go for nice dinners together and maintain a relationship with our swinging partners. Other than that we're ''normal'' people and disease free.

There are far more disturbing sexual practices IMO but who am I to judge ? What people do in the privacy of their homes is none of my beeswax!

Have obviously namechanged

Infidelity is the one thing I've got huge, sparkly judgey pants for.

You wouldn't know if you are, or have been, infected with HPV. There is no screening for it.
You can have it multiple times as there are so many strains of it - 3 are the really nasty ones.
The one that you would notice, that causes genital warts, is relatively benign and isn't a cancer-triggering one.

I think being completely comfortable with your sexual preferences/practices is the healthiest way to be.

Who is anyone to judge? It's not effecting you in anyway.

The infidelity is agreed between them.It's not some dirty secret.

i had a look on fever website- they need to learn to spell

I think it's something other than infidelity when your partner is there too, doing the same thing.

Can you be completely comfortable with your own sexual practices and still feel the need to name change on a forum??
