for me the answer is quite simple ... we have access to a profile which (if they are telling the truth) says if they are attached in some way .. and also we get to chatting, sometimes for quite a while before a meet is considered, and inconsistencies in what they say or just a feeling in that they are attached comes out in conversation. in a club environment not much chat, if any, goes on and there is no profile to go off so no way of checking before you play if they are attached. some i do know ask each person if they are with someone but this is rare.
I couldn't care less if someone is married or attached or not.
I do mind if I know both parties and I won't go behind someone's back. Yeah- may be double standards but if I don't know them then I am not aware of the circumstances of their partner's infidelity and I am not the one that has made the vows of fidelity or whatever to them.
I do mind if they don't tell me when I ask and I won't have sex with them.
If I was in a club situation I couldn't imagine asking.
Some of the best sex I have had has been with married men who haven't told their partners. Normally their sex life is flagging and they are appreciative of the attention from me and will actually do more than just 'stick it in and out'.
I know that probably doesn't sit too well with some people either.
Basically I don't make decisions for other people. I make a decision about the people I am fucking and the people in my life that need to know about it.
I have made commitments to worlass and I stick to them. (I have to say at this point that I don't know what Worlass's views are about this so please don't flame her by proxy)

My wife has on occasions, and will in the future, played without me, with my blessing so I suppose this could happen the other way around also
We don't play with single guys in clubs.
We don't meet single guys in hotels.
We only meet single guys at their own home and no where else.
Well of course this is directed against single men as usual. Presumably cheating wives or single women are treated in a completely different light. Or at least this is conveniently unaddressed when swingers declare their moralities.
I think its fair enough for people to have their own moralities but its unfortunate that in declaring them they seem to come with hypocrisies, illogicalities and contradictions.
A swinging couple may not cheat on each other but they are doing adultery. So why do they feel they need to point out other people's behaviour. Do they think its immoral?
Conventional thought does not see any difference between swinging and adultery. How can swingers present a coherent argument?
There seems to be this vision of a spouse or couple coming to a hellish and destructive end, due to infidelity. Actually that's not a forgone conclusion. many couples survive infidelity with little or no damage. Their relationship is worth more than a fling. in a lot of cases the partner is aware of their spouse's infidelities and chooses to ignore them.
It seems that it might be swingers who could actually suffer the worst in the event of an 'infidelity', and the culture against such things is a self protecting karma.
