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.

Loving this terror of swingers, its hilarious. ITS JUST SEX, PEOPLE!

Are we both reading the same thread? Confused

I see no terror either lol

I've been propositioned by a swinger this year.
I just said "No thanks, I fear it could make things too awkward afterwards", then I didn't get asked again, and we just talk about the usual stuff, as we did before.
No big ordeal really.

OP, I reckon they're worried that you two might be swingers and are just making sure you're not before they agree to go on holiday with you.

You don't have gnomes, pampas grass or ceramic penguins do you?

sirboobalot what you on about?? How odd

Rachog · 06/08/2012 14:10

If you ask them and they aren't swingers, they might think you are propositioning them! There will be a thread in a couple of weeks, we invited a couple on holiday and now they are trying to swing with us.

O/T OP but wasn't it you who had dome AMAZING gossip that lead to a 1000 post thread with nothing but a load of initials and pleas for pm's?

And if it was can
You now tell us what the goss was please?

Can't help with the swinging Soz, I thought that kind of thing was made up by the daily star until they had photos if the landlady from our local trussed up in The cellar with half the male population of the village watching

I was once asked to partake in a spot of swinging. Said no and glad I did as one of said swingers went on to write a book about their exploits.

I remember reading an interview and thinking 'hmmm, he looks familiar'.

It really is no biggie though. 'Tis only sex!

Swingers now are those with brown leather sofas, twigs in vases and pebbly shit. All of those together are a secret swinging code.

shockers · 06/08/2012 17:47

I've got brown leather sofas. I might nip to Dunhelm Mill or Next at Home and get some twigs and pebbly shit to scare my friends with Grin.

DigestivesWithPhiladelphia · 06/08/2012 19:12

I used to have friends who had a large ceramic giraffe on the front windowsill. Were they swingers?

TiggyD · 06/08/2012 19:51

Certainly sounds like they might be swingers. They question now is will the OP swing?

IvantaOuiOui · 06/08/2012 21:43

We got invited to swing once but she wore shell suits and stank of chip fat so I declined. Wouldn't rule it out if the couple were fanciable though.

hf128219 · 06/08/2012 21:47

Right does the phrase 'Do you know George?' have significance in this particular social quandary?

'Do you know George?'

Is he a friend of Dorathy?

Numberlock · 06/08/2012 22:01

Ivanta Sounds like Å·ou were invited to swing by Waynetta Slob. Grin

CaseyShraeger · 06/08/2012 22:08

This "Do You Know George?"

DesperatelySeekingPomBears · 06/08/2012 22:10

I have a brown leather sofa. And twigs in a vase. And pebbles in a dish.

Hmm. Clearly this is why people only visit our house once.
