There are males and females who have partners who are less sexually active or inclned than themselves for all sorts of reasons. They need the opportunity to both chat about their situation and obviously the opportunity to meet others where they can satisfy their mutual needs. It really is not helpful to have individuals or couples who don't have that sort of a challenge telling them not to cheat , go to Relate or take cold showers etc. Very Victorian approach! Ideally we would all like to be in relationships where we can be fully sexually satisfied. In reality not everyone is so fortunate. I would like to meet single women or women in similar situations who can respect that I have thought about all that this means and am looking for some no strings fun. I know I am not unique but we just need the opportunities without the critics stating the obvious. Blake ( advert 368027 )
this should probably be in the lets meet up forum
im assuming thats what this post is about
Yeah but isnt swinging more about openness, and this is a swingers site not a cheating site, just an opinon, sorry if you disagree. Im sure that there are way in which you could increase your satisfation with your current partner surly??
I have to agree with Buster - it's not what I would class as swinging, it's cheating.
It's also not helpful to class those who don't agree with you as Victorian.
I would class us as a liberated couple, and it really isn't our fault that you aren't sexually satisfied with your partner.
However, there are users on this site who will play with married people without their partners consent, so you may get lucky.

I do find it somewhat strange that a website that purports to be liberal in its views on sex should so often offer quite straight-laced views on 'cheating' and the like. How do you define proper sexual conduct within a relationship? By what the divorce courts say? By the Bible? By the way in which people have behaved over the centuries? By what your mum told you? You will find that many of these sources contradict each othe, especially when it comes down to the letter of the law in comparison to how those in positions of relative power actually behave.
While many do not want swinging and cheating lumped in the same basket us swingers have to realise that the majority of society does see any extra-marital sex as 'cheating' in some way or other. The fact that some of us are happy to share sexual intimacies with other people within the confines of an otherwise exclusive relationship may seem totally acceptable to us but to others it is the height of anti-social behaviour. How many of us are 'out' as swingers? How many people would find their careers adversely affected if their bosses knew about them being swingers? Probably more than those who were found out to be cheating! So what right, therefore, has any swinger, who is fortunate enough to find themselves in a sexually open relationship, got to chastise someone else who is in the unfortunate position of having a partner who is not as sexually liberal as they (or we) are?
Every person has their own moral code and everyone should live up to their own expectations so if you don't like the idea of cheating and cheaters in general then don't play with them, but keep your views on whether it is ok to yourselves. Think about it this way; would you post something on this site that said gay and lesbian people are immoral? Would you say that someone who is TV or TG is 'wrong'? Would you criticise those into BDSM as depraved? This site doesn't encourage such attitudes being aired so why is it acceptable to criticise someone who is in a relationship with someone who has an incompatable sex drive?
No doubt there are some real a***holes who want to satisfy their own sexual needs and don't give any consideration for the feelings of their partners but why assume everyone who is 'cheating' is like that? Perhaps they love their partner utterly and don't want to hurt them in any way but still feel as if they are unsatisfied sexually. It is not at all helpful or considerate to suggest that such people go to 'Relate', abstain from sex or get a divorce. There is far more to life and relationships than just sex but sex is also highly important and everyone has to balance their lives as best they can in their own way. Who says a sexless relationship is one without love? If the general view is that all 'cheaters' are inconsiderate people is it similarly viewed that all swingers are automatically decent people who treat their partners with total and utter respect? While we might hope that the majority of swingers do fit that profile I don't think anyone is naive enough to think that is actually true for all.
I really wish people would leave the moral judgements behind when they post and simply ignore those whose actions and thoughts they cannot abide.
:idea: Hya FB; a quikie clarification. I am not Bashing anyone. I am not knocking anyone for have morals either. In fact morals/code of conduct in all situations are important; hence CHAOS reigns. I however thought swinging is a step in the direction of sexual liberation(in light of the MOUNTAIN of taboos surrounding the sex/sexuality).
Lets be carefull in nurturing this relationship which for a lot of us is BLISS.

Interesting thread which finds me sitting on the fence as can see both sides of the argument,I,ve been married 16 years and have in the past probably bemoned the fact at some time that "my wifes sexual needs were on a differant level to mine" whilst always feeling a deep love for her, I admit it i,ve been a "cheat" ,and later been "given a taste of my own medicine",but now we are swinging together as a couple and have never been happier or more solid,yes we,ve been lucky and found after a very long time that sex and" exclusive love" don,t always come wrapped in the same package,and have discovered like many people that sexual jealously is a very bad demon indeed,how many otherwise happy and productive relationships end because someone shags someone else , in maybe nothing more than a " mad" moment"? Swingers should be wary of moralising,"people in glass houses."..etc but that does,nt mean we can,t have them! Anyone shagging behind their partners back is "cheating" rather than "swinging" however they justify it !. As a side issue I think dogging phenomenom ( can,t spell that word? ) has totally changed the face of swinging and the exhibitionists and cples seeking the extra male/s amongst us ( don,t get me wrong ,they make the world go round! lol ) have encouraged more men to cheat but consider themselves swingers than ever before. Real swinging is about sexual liberalism , honesty,and respect for your own patners needs and feelings,f--king around will always be just about f--king around!
P.S naughynymphos, donsidelovers,you both write well and interestingly and agree with both of you to some extent,not joined in a " cheating post" before,and find this a very interesting debate,thanks xx
There are, sadly, always people who - because they disapprove of something themselves - want to stop others doing it. And don't see how illiberal such views are. The point about condemning gays and TVs was well made. If we're not a tolerant group, what are we? And how can we judge other people's painfully-built long-term private relationships?
I think perhaps these bluenoses see things purely from their own perspective: they don't want their own partners to cheat, so they think the solution is to stamp out cheating wherever it occurs.
I'm single myself, now, but when I was in a couple looking for guys, we ONLY met married men, because they were less trouble. Single guys, all too often, wanted to muscle in, asking for private meetings, mobile phone numbers, and so on. She even had one real stalker.
Each to his own.
