Same room swinging

126 replies

That is having sex with your own partner (and not swapping) with another couple in the same room.
Me and DH are curious and find it erotic. Looked at a UK swingers site and saw adverts full of people with their bits out and faces on display. We're interested but are worried about how unsubtle some of these people appear to be.
Has anyone had any experience of mild swinging like this or could it be a ghastly mistake and find yourself in the company of some over eager couple ?

Why would anyone feel the need to report the thread? The title makes it very clear what it's about. You didn't have to read it. Or are we only allowed to talk about something sexual providing it's vanilla?

Branleuse · 27/10/2013 10:01

its called soft swinging i believe, and pretty common

Branleuse · 27/10/2013 10:02

believe it or not, very normal people are into all sorts of things

lessemin · 27/10/2013 10:03

Well I thought the op said same room singing.

Like a little choir.

Heartbrokenmum73 · 27/10/2013 10:03

Pretty sure I'm not the only one to report. Over the past few days we've had lots of threads like this appear, asking people about their sexual preferences and experiences, usually from new posters or name-changes. And yes, I've reported others and guess what? They've been deleted.

Bit of a co-incidence that the Fail runs 'articles' on MN and how we're all sex-obsessed and then all this happens, no? There are two other similar threads running atm. Vanilla has nothing to do with it.

If this is for real, then great, fill yer boots, but if it's bs then it's detracting from genuine posters, so yeah, I've reported it.

Apologies to OP if this is genuine though, it's just a bit much.

lottieandmia · 27/10/2013 10:08

I know 'normal' people who have had sex with their OH while another couple do the same thing in the same room. It's not that uncommon! OP, the people I know who did it were friends though.

Jolleigh · 27/10/2013 10:10

By the looks of some of the responses, this is a regular poster asking for advice. Not someone who's signed up on the back if the DM article.

lottieandmia · 27/10/2013 10:13

I see your point heartbroken, but actually I'm surprised at all the press articles about the 'dark side' of mumsnet. There have been threads like this on mumsnet for years. Nowadays if someone even starts a thread about anal sex everyone shouts 'troll'.

Why shouldn't there be threads about sex on mumsnet? And why has there been a change in attitude over the past years that if people don't have vanilla sexual preferences then they must be a troll?

RandallFloyd · 27/10/2013 10:20

The OP last posted in 2010 abut her lack of sex drive causing her DH to take bromide.

Pagwatch · 27/10/2013 10:22

Mn is making me want to take bromide.

lottieandmia · 27/10/2013 10:23

So what? That was 3 years ago.

Heartbrokenmum73 · 27/10/2013 10:24

What Randall said.

lottieandmia · 27/10/2013 10:25

If people are freaked out by the idea of swinging then I can't think why they would click on a thread about it. What other people do in the privacy of their homes doesn't really worry me personally.

Strumpetron · 27/10/2013 10:28

So 3 years later she isn't allowed to post again Hmm

For gods sake she's asking for advice.

OP I wouldn't know where to start to be honest because my DP aren't into it, sounds fun though! Just make sure you speak to the people properly beforehand, get a feel for them. I know some people advertise on what's it called, that website people put adverts on... Oh fgs I can't remember it's name.

Pagwatch · 27/10/2013 10:28

There isn't a current view that anything other than vanilla sex is a troll

There is an awareness that as the site gets bigger and more of a target for trolls, threads about any topic which draw upon intimacy and or risk a certain privacy in responding posters should be viewed with more caution

To act as if the spate of articles and the penisbeaker debacle is not going to draw out trolls, weirdos and journos spinning for stories is naive.

If I wanted to post about my desire for anything that would have a fetishist interested or the Mail sketching a 'mn perv shock' article, I ouldn't chose right now.

Strumpetron · 27/10/2013 10:29

Why should genuine posters be censored because of fuckwits though? And maybe she doesn't have any idea about 'penisbeaker' and the like. Not everyone keeps up to date with all that.

Pagwatch · 27/10/2013 10:29

I should add I have no view bout this op.
Just responding to the 'fgs' responses.

My reply on all these threads would be 'whatever suits you and your partner(s). I don't care what people do to be happy.

Pagwatch · 27/10/2013 10:32

They shouldn't

She can post what she wants. But equally talking openly about the fact that everyone should be cautious is sensible isn't it?
I try to work that into my posts about sexual abuse because, in replying, sometimes people reveal more than they can afford to.

lottieandmia · 27/10/2013 10:33

I understand what you mean Pagwatch. But then if people are concerned about the thread they should report it to MNHQ and refrain from making snippy comments about the OP and how she couldn't possibly have changed her feelings about sex in the last 3 years.

Strumpetron · 27/10/2013 10:34

I think this thread has proved that people are troll hunting and not just being cautious sadly

MaryZombie · 27/10/2013 10:37

What Pag said.

RandallFloyd · 27/10/2013 10:38

If you want to post the intimate details of your sex life on MN then crack on. No one's stopping you.

As long as you are aware of the likelihood that some poor sod in his parents' box room is furiously wanking over it.

Pagwatch · 27/10/2013 10:40

I hope that wasn't aimed at me Strumpeton.

I have never troll hunted.

I just don't.

Strumpetron · 27/10/2013 10:41

Pagwatch read my post, how is that aimed at you? I obviously meant the comments in this thread, blatant troll hunting. And bringing up OP's threads from 3 years ago Hmm

RandallFloyd · 27/10/2013 10:42

I'm pretty sure it was aimed at me Pag don't worry!
