To think we might have met some swingers?

This is not a joke. We have made some new friends recently - very nice couple, lots in common etc. It's just that I am very astute on picking up on certain things and I am sure they want us to swing with them.

It's just things they say, looks they give - and even today the actual subject was brought up on the pretext of talking about a friend of theirs who swings.

If anyone reads this does swing how do people invite others to swing? Apart from car keys/pampas grass.

I think there's a brooch.

Hearsay though, I don't partake.

WorraLiberty · 05/08/2012 22:38

I would imagine they ask them outright if they swing or if they want to start.

Why wouldn't they?

They'd look pretty stupid doing a secret handshake with one trouser leg rolled up....

YANBU in thinking you may have met some swingers

What you gonna do about it ?

BonkeyHasGOLDMollocks · 05/08/2012 22:39

When you go round theirs for a Wine beware of any bowl that contains more than one set of keys! Wink

usualsuspect · 05/08/2012 22:39

I'd just be careful about invitations to dinner Wink

BonkeyHasGOLDMollocks · 05/08/2012 22:40

Or not....you may add your keys and throw caution to the wind.

ThreeWheelsGood · 05/08/2012 22:41

Can't work out from your OP what you'd do if they were... ask them if you fancy it ;-)

usualsuspect · 05/08/2012 22:41

If they invite you round for drinks and nibbles, be very careful.

TuftyFinch · 05/08/2012 22:43

Did they have a ceramic penguin in their window?

Pumpster · 05/08/2012 22:44

Do you want to be swung? Grin

MrsKeithRichards · 05/08/2012 22:44

There are no car keys involved in this day, there are some fab sites out there people would arrange meets through. So I've heard.

janey68 · 05/08/2012 22:46

If they do invite you for dinner, remember the condoms as well as a bottle of wine

WorraLiberty · 05/08/2012 22:47

Just refuse the spotted dick if you're offered.....

hf128219 · 05/08/2012 22:48

Oh I've seen the sites and I am not really into dogging in a layby with a takeaway van near for a cuppa afterwards.

I even found myself goggling their address/names/occupations etc to find out if they were on some dodgy web site - to no avail!

Arf @ Worra! Grin

MrsKeithRichards · 05/08/2012 22:49

Dogging isn't swinging!

usualsuspect · 05/08/2012 22:50

They have hot dog vans at dogging sites?

How civilised

WorraLiberty · 05/08/2012 22:51

Why did you Google their address/names/occupations etc? Confused

You said the subject was brought up, so why didn't you ask them if that's what they're into?

I seriously doubt they'd be all coy and shy about it...especially if they'd been discussing it.

Cherubim · 05/08/2012 22:52

Dogging and swinging are two completely different things!

usualsuspect · 05/08/2012 22:53

Can you swing and dog at the same time?

WorraLiberty · 05/08/2012 22:54

Can you swing and dog at the same time?

I tried to swing a cat once but there just wasn't room in the house

MrsKeithRichards · 05/08/2012 22:54

If they were on a site chances are they won't be listed as BILL THE DENTIST AND HIS WIFE BETTY FROM NUMBER 5!

Seriously though, does it worry or concern you? If they do indulge I'm sure they have their ways of meeting likeminded people without exposing their habit to all and sundry. I think you'll be safe!

Cherubim · 05/08/2012 22:56

As far as I'm aware, swinging is a pre-arranged event with people of a like mind. Dogging is turning up at a specified site and having sex with a stranger, or with your partner while other people watch. Or something.

CrispyCod · 05/08/2012 22:56

Tuftyfinch ceramic penguin???? Grin

NonnoMum · 05/08/2012 22:58

My (now) DH and I were asked to swing when we were on our first date.
We replied that we were, er, on our first date...
Made for interesting wedding speeches...
