I'm single and if I meet another single on here, I still class it as swinging and why not? dunno

:thumbup:
Although it is all a bit confusing innit?
.
In a world where people hate labels why do WE "swingers" have to label ourselves as such.
I dont class myself as a swinger but someone who enjoys mutual pleasure whilst knowing that it is just for the purposes of fun.
We are all here to have FUN are we not???
If there were no singles on this site then I think that some of the couples would not be too as generally they like a single joining them whether it be male or female at some time.
As I single if I wanted casual sex then I would go to town and find it. What I get here is not just casual sex but something more and something very different.
The fact that I am a single female should not make me more/less atrractive. I am me and I find that the people I have met on here like me for that and that reason alone!!!
LETS NOT LABEL OUTSELVES ANYMORE AS THERE ARE PLENTY OUT THERE WHO WOULD DO THAT FOR US!!!!

People will often be blinkered into only seeing the area of swinging that they participate in as being encompassed into the term swinging,and any activity that they don't do falls outside, and does not constitute swinging.
I had a good long read at this

Still don't think it fully answers the orignial question though.
Yes they can and as already opined, swinging is a state of mind, simply that.
If you can tell the difference between fucking and making love, and are seeking the former not the latter then swinging is something that will come easily.
If you cannot (and couples in unstable relationships are as big a problem as singles for this) then you really shouldn't even begin to consider swinging.
God forbid swingers ever 'make love' :shock:
Prepare yourself for the consequences!! :scared:

I had a read of wikipedia and as it says Swinging activities may include (but are not limited to):
Soft swinging: having sexual intercourse with a partner while two or more other people perform sex acts in the immediate vicinity.
Soft swap: having oral sex with someone other than one's partner. Often a type of swinging that new couples choose before eventually trying full swap, although many couples stay "soft swap" for personal or safety related reasons.
Full swap: having penetrative sex with someone other than one's partner. Although this is the commonly understood definition of swinging, it is not necessarily the most common type.
Group sex: An all-inclusive term for activities involving multiple partners in the same vicinity.
Typically, swinging activities occur when a married or otherwise committed couple engages in sexual activity with another couple, multiple couples, or a single individual.
So seeing as I'm a single female I guess I dont get classed as a swinger according to wikipedia however I do prefer MMF to 121 meets, so I guess I'm just classed as a greedy girl :P
i dont belive singles can be swingers if we take into account the media belief of swingers its the chucking ya car keys in a bowl job n going off with someones wife therefore a cpl... not that i'm into the media belief but jus thought i'd chuck that in for good measure
having finding myself single after 6 yrs as swinging as a cpl i no longer think of myself as a swinger to me now it would be jus finding a shag for the night, jus like a one night stand or a 10 to 2'er but without the vodka beforehand.
Swinging to me is for cpls, single peeps are jus after no strings attatched sex, that aint swinging thas summat different altogether!
Hmm. An interesting tangent...Wife Swapping and Swinging- the differences. Have we moved on from the keys in the bowl 70's scene? How far?
Double hmm. I have possesion of so many of my friends/neighbours house/car keys...one of them is very, very hot. Can we revert, please? :twisted:

Me too Sassy. I can confuse meself at the drop of an 'at, but swinging is all about intention. Relationship status means feck all. It's all mindset.
N x x x ;)
You can interpret swinging whichever way you want - we all have our own opinions, for my money though a single person cannot be a swinger.
Single with a Single - how is that swinging, they are both single?
Single with a couple (and both parties to the couple are aware) - how is that swininging - that is just a threesome.
Single with a couple (and only one party to the couple is aware) - that is not swinging - that is being unfaithful.
So on my intepretation - a single cannot be a swinger.
I am not telling anyone what to think - that is just what I think.

Basically what you're saying here is the only people you think can really call themselves 'swingers' are those couples who meet other couples confused
So, will all the single males, single females, bi females and couples who only meet singles, doggers ( single of course ) please leave by the nearest convenient exit...............shit, this place is gonna be fun....not!

is it some sort of badge of honour? if not whats it matter.. post for posts sake
Hmmmm... I wonder if this is what is meant by people being ripped apart for having an opinion as mentioned in the other thread about what's happened to the cafe?
Seriously... I don't agree with that opinion either but I don't feel the need to slate someone for thinking the way they do. It's all subjective and it's not really the end of the world because someone doesn't agree with the way we think. By all means challenge it but there's a way of doing that without being nasty or sarcastic or generally treating people like their opinion doesn't count because its not what we think.
It's fairly clear to see why the cafe is so quiet if this is what people are faced with. confused

Oh come on, no one is ripping no one apart just asking a simply question doesnt mean anyone is slating them for thinking the way they do.
I personally dont really have any views on the subject cos I think you can view the scene as you want to. I've been on here as a couple and a single female and I intend to stay and have some fun. Isnt that what lifes all about. biggrin

I think of singles more as sex aids not swingers. Thats just for couples innocent
I'm shocked that people can so No to this.
Swinging is a personal thing and we all swing in different ways. So if you are single or a couple, if you think you are swinging and having fun, then you are a swinger confused

:thumbup:
What difference does it make is someone is single or in a relationship? Its about the way you treat the 'recreational sexual contact' with like minded people and about the way you treat your fellow 'swingers' rather than your marital status.
Someone said ealier in the thread that as 'swingers' we often try and move away from labels, so why add more by trying to be too restrictive over what is and what isnt swinging?
Just get on and enjoy it wink
