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?

My wedding had no vows as such.It was a 5 minute registry jobbie...just a few leagl statements and no promises or mentions of fidelity at all.

Lequeen I think it is unecessary to suggest someone's marriage in invalid based on a few comments on an internet forum.

Your over the top smuggery is quite bizzarre and suggests your life is not quite as perfect as you love to tell everyone in detail.

FlyingFig · 15/01/2011 21:56

Swinging definitely isn't for me, but I'm mature enough to accept that others might well enjoy it.

Nothing more to say!

PeeringIntoTheWintryVoid · 15/01/2011 21:56

jenandberry that's just what I was thinking.

jenandberry · 15/01/2011 21:59

I agree flying. I have had my moments in my wild youth but these days it would not be for me. I suspect I would not be for anyone else either.

jenandberry · 15/01/2011 22:01

I feel quite mean now as often when people feel the need to say mean things to others or overegg their happiness they are struggling with their own issues. I did not mean to attack Lequeen and I am sorry.

No I genuinely felt guilty.

You could be an utter bitch in which case I do not care what you think.

Or you could have ishooes and be quite hurt, in which case I did not want to twist the knife.

I actually do hope your life is as happy as you claim, why would anyone wish anyone unhappiness? But just in case I thought I would show some humanity.

From my experience people who tell others at every opportunity that their life is perfect are often covering something up. This is even more the case when they seem to find joy in mocking or attacking others. If you are the exception to the rule I apologise.

fb sorry been for a curry to maybe start my labour.That is a lovely post and i will have a look (didnt know i could do thaT)I was certain you had used the term and will apologise on here if you have.I was talking to dh today and said i thought this thread was lively debate with very little malice,we were all just defending our way of life as is human nature,you are right when you say people posted then ran off but i thought your posts have been respectfull and interesting,i did tell you that,i will have a peruse and will be back to apologise or tell you where i saw it.

PeeringIntoTheWintryVoid · 15/01/2011 22:23

Ackshally LeQueen, I think that people thinking that you're funny is vitally important to you, because you base your online persona on being smug and thick-skinned to the point of annoyance, but your saving grace is that you're very witty. Your witty sarcasm ceases to impress, however, when it looks like you are trying so very hard.

jenandberry I think I love you. Grin

bupcakesandcunting · 15/01/2011 22:34

OMG LeQueen got pwned. In the same week as the shift in the north pole. This is lifechanging stuff Grin

ledkr · 15/01/2011 22:36

fb ok you got me,you used it in a different context,i apologise for accusing you of using it directly to people to describe their sex lives,Others def have tho and that isnt fair.It took me most of my life to find a relationship as amazing as the one i have now so i will always defend it.

LadyOfTheManor · 15/01/2011 22:39

LeQueen, I find you most amusing and I think you have your finger on the mark. Like you I'm not really here to make friends, least of all with swingers.

I don't respect prostitutes, but they are smart enough to ask for money in return...I'll give them that.

Back to the marriage, well well Coalition apparently Miss. FB Swinger did indeed take her vows infront of God and did indeed take a vow of fidelity. Where does that put you?

FB Swinger As you married in a church (and a high church at that) are you aware of the biblical implications of what you're doing? Are you aware of the maritial sins you are committing? Are you aware that although you seem to think you have "committed bigger sins"-God sees sin as equal?

Gay40-I agree, if you don't go along with the "whole God thing" then don't get married in a church. It's better to avoid it than to be a hypocrite.

LadyOfTheManor · 15/01/2011 22:40

*marital and I cbb to change the rest of the typos. I am trying to watch Hustle.

jenandberry · 15/01/2011 22:41

I am not really here to make friends, however there is middle ground between making friends and upsetting people for kicks.

Binfullofmaggotsonthe45 · 15/01/2011 22:41

Have to contradict you fbwife, reread the posting you made:

Malificence: Having sex with another person/persons, with the full knowledge/encouragement etc. of your partner and watching your partner giving orgasms to and receiving orgasms from others, disgusts me in a visceral way that nothing else done by consenting adult couples does.
A sexual relationship (as opposed to a single person having casual sexual encounters with multiple people) is between two people, anything else renders it worthless.

Malificence Its a sign of a mundane and vanilla mind that you are so completely unable to contemplate that others might find arousing something that revolts you. Can you really not get that some people have different sexual tastes. I totally get that you find what I do disgusting, but why do you consistently have to insult those of us who do it in an offensive way. That post was fine until you said that my sexual relationship with my husband was rendered worthless. Its not, really, but I am not going to bother explaining to you further. And by the way, YES, I HAVE enjoyed a queue of men behind me (please note I knew their names and was attracted to them all but some people ARE attracted to faceless strangers, who might be Derek from Hartlepool, so what?). And my self-esteem is fine ta.

Binfullofmaggotsonthe45 · 15/01/2011 22:49

Ahem.....another one.....?

Sorry, let me just clarify: mundane, vanilla, narrow minded and utterly bigoted outlook on life to judge me and my husband and suggest it renders my marriage worthless. It's fine that you find swinging urrgh personally, its the lack of comprehension others find it sexually exciting and that this does not make them revolting sick people with meaningless marriages and lack of self-respect that stuns me.

PeeringIntoTheWintryVoid · 15/01/2011 22:50

Bupcakes I want to kiss you again! Is my cross thread admiration turning into some revolting unwholesome admiration now? Blush Or do I just admire your irreverence? Grin

TheCoalitionNeedsYou · 15/01/2011 22:51

LadyoftheManor - it seems to leave me exactly where I was.
