Are you cutting down on the amount of swinging sites you are members on because of the credit crunch???
Dave and i are on various different sites but over the last couple of weeks 2 have come up for renewal but we haven't been able to afford the £75 each required for renewal and have gone on to basic memebership...
Has the credit crunch affected others in this way? because as much as we love the sites and this way of life we have to be able to heat the house first!
Has swinging become an expensive hobby???

I have taken myself off a cpl of sites... but none of which i have ever paid to use
This is the only site I pay to be on, so at the moment can afford it. Not sure I would be able to justify paying more than one subscription though, credit crunch or not.
Am a member of 2 sites (both free when I joined) and only ever use this one as the other isn't to my taste..
There are enough free ones out there not to bother paying to join others IMO.

Same here.
Dave and I are on none paying sites as well...
But as an interest is swinging in general expensive?
travelling for meets, meeting for drinks to get to know someone?
we enjoy what we do, and always find the money to do so, but probably at the expense of something else...

It can be and once was for us...
We have now curtailed our Munch travels and rarely(if ever) go to them now....
As for meets well..... :-(

Yep... probably is more expensive than you think when you add up everything like that. :shock:
3 years ago i "lost" over £6,000 in earnings by turning down overtime just to meet swingers,bit of a ballache when some didn't show but hey thats
I have only ever paid to join one website and it was for a life time membership. It cost me about £50 eight years ago and I still pop in at times now.
I don't think I would pay to join another site now. I have more important things to spend my money on so I would just join free sites, I think confused
As for swinging being expensive, it can be yes but it doesn't have to be. You can find someone local or you can travel miles and pay for hotels. I guess it is what you make it :?
You can easily spend £20 going to the movies with tickets, carpark fees, drinks or food which is a similar amount to a trip to a club such as Chams dunno
Don't think the credit crunch alters our swinging, our choices we make do that :?
you tend to find the same people on different sites.
Usually the pictures on the profiles give it away.
This is the only site i use now but like cockslut said it can be expensive.
Ive put off work and made time for have been ok,some dreadful and some a complete waste of my time.
in terms of swinging site I only ever use this and one other, and they are both free so I don't feel the pinch in that respect...
but in terms of munches and visits to swinging clubs, yes I have had to cut back a bit in what I am doing... or had the plan a bit further in advance......
I do wonder if it going to start to affect clubs a bit though...
I think you are right with the clubs thing Fabio, as we are in plymouth not much about around here for us, a new one has just opened and we are going to try it out, but not going to get the new blinds for the lounge this month now lol x
But when we lived up the line we used to go to chams at least once a month but to go there now means a tank of fuel and hotel room and admission you are talking the best part of £150 which we just can't afford probably like many others, especially coming up to the most expensive time of year, not going to say what it is for fear of abuse biggrin :D but we all now what i mean :D
This was the first site I joined but I did sign up to one or two others but never use them. I fidn it gets confusing if I'm a member of too many sites so I've kicked the others into touch
I am a member of a couple of sites but this is the main one I use. The others are free, but I wouldnt pay to use them if they did charge as they are not as much fun as on here.
As for the credit crunch, I suppose it means I will just have to buy less naughty clothes (or wear less) :twisted:

An upside to the credit crunch ;-)
I use this site 99% of the time cos it is IMHO the best one.
I think it has the best chat room setup and also the forums are easy to use and there is not as much abuse as you get on the other sites.
I have saw lots of ppl who are no longer on here for various reasons on other sites and doing the exact same as they did here.
Sh is still the best and unless something drastic comes along and changes this place then I will always use this site the majority of the time.
I think it not unreasonable that the people we now value as friends on here up sticks and move closer to us.
As some live South, some East and some North this seems like a reasonable request.
We are members of some other sites, but I can't remember which, even less can I remember all the different usernames and passwords!
All, I think, correction I know, were free to join!
And lastly, I would like to remind Lost that we have a free membership on here.

Same here. I simply couldn't be bothered with the others, don't have the time. I much prefer to stay here
Could I just ask of those people that have replied in this thread, how many actually pay to use this site as i know there were free places offered a little while back...and only stay here because it is free!!! And would you move on if you had to start paying??
Dave and I are paying members here and although there are free sites and we are members on them there aren't actually that many that offer a full package for free!!
SH is a brilliant site and we do enjoy certain aspects of it and think this might be the only site we would pay for..
I dont pay but this is the only site I would ever consider paying membership for. I love the people, the atmosphere and love the banter.
Yes, no hesitation in saying I would pay (and I know that is easy to say from someone who doesn't pay)
wave I'm a fully paid up member!
As I said, this is the only site I pay to use - and indeed, is the only site I use. So at the mo, affording it isn't an issue. In fact, I think the annual subscription is pretty good value really.
Nola x
this is the only site have ever paid for and i think its affordable even at this crunching times,but i dont like the banter on the forum wink
