that's a terrible invasion and our hearts go out to the people involved - and to the hosts, it wasn't your fault ok.
To video/take pics of 'intimate' moments without permission is a terrible thing to do - and no excuse whatsoever can account for its distribution in any shape or form - at the end of the day, it's the idiot who took the video that should be bollocked and sent to coventry etc
The only lesson that can be learned from this whole incident is choose your friends wisely and never put yourself in a compromising situation where others can take advantage. This is a swinger’s site and some people do seem to think that anything and everyone is fair game.
Pickles, how can you be responsible for something that happened a few weeks after your party. People have to take responsibility for their own actions.
Hopefully the community of SH will prevail and no doubt the person responsible will be left with no uncertainty about how their actions have been viewed. He/She (and without being sexist I would bet my salary it was the former)will probably now take a long break from this site voluntarily. I'm so sorry what should have been a fun experience was soured by the actions of an idiot.......dont let it put you off xxx Joy
i was at that party and had to ask my hubby to tell the guy early on to stop following me around with a cam. It was not a regular in our circle of friends. When we got home i obtained his email and asked him for any copies of pics he had took of me. he sent 2 im sure he had more. Non of the pics or videos were consentual does this not make it illegal?
We take pics at parties and all are only with the agreement of those on them. we show them the pic and ask if they would like it deleted if so we happily delete there n then and we Never send anyones pic to a third party.
Dawn hunny its not your fault and no one blaims u in any way or form dont stop the parties they are great.
to the guy who took them would you please destroy them .
This sort of thing could put people off going to private partys/munches.
Maybe the answer is no cameras/phones allowed at munches/private partys?.
Right where the fuck do I start!!!
I was also one of those that was videoed (unknowingly) and cannot believe anyone would even consider putting the pics at the party in question of not only me but all those concerned onto a disc to hand out to various people WITHOUT the consent of the people in them.
I got given a copy of it on Friday but didnt actually look at it until Monday evening......I was fucking mortified!!!!!! not only a couple of video's but also pictures of me naked. Loads of copies had been handed out before I had actually seen it myself and I ask to all those who have obtained a copy to please delete the video and all pics of me that are on it and not to distribute (although there prolly on the fucking net somewhere by now).
You are a fucking tosser (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!)and if you was worth a ban I would name and shame ya coz its them that dont know you and organize munches/socials and pvt house parties I feel sorry for......I sure hope your so proud of yourself, you have no respect for others, did it not even enter your little brain that we would all be abit pissed off you fucking plank???????????
I know we are all swingers but Im sorry you wouldnt get away with it in a club yet you honestly think that just coz we was all mates off this site it would automactically give you the right to do it at a pvt house party!???
I never even got asked once for my permission for them to be put on a fucking disc let alone to have many copies made up and given out to various people.
Westie I know your just as mad as me about what has happened, but the damage has been done and we cant turn the clocks back, I guess we've both learnt alot about all this.
Pickles babe nobody blames you for any of this you was just the host hun......we all love ya to bits xxxxxxxxxxxx
On Friday 7th Dec, We were handed a disc from the Photographer/Videor As is normal when your pissed, You shove it in your pocket and forget it.....We have now looked closely at this Disc and BLOODY HELL..........This is totally little more than an insult to all those who he considered friends..
Pickles ABSOLUTELY no way are you to blame for the actions of someone else.
Westy you did ask me about the CD last Tuesday...I informed you there were no videos Babe I apologise I was wrong..Its only now I have looked closer at the disc.
Its bloody Galling that someone each and everyone of us us all like something He has trod in.
BUT we have all learned from this experience.
AND NO if your at a party with us there......DO NOT even attempt to photo us................Coz yur camera will go swimming.........
Im not 100% sure but ...........
Within photography ... so prob in video.
Replication and distribution (free or not) which is majorly different from 'personal use'.
Replication - digital or otherwise without a signed model release form is highly illegal.
As for the excuse of though it was another file.
Tough s**t - an honest mistake (Which is majorly debateable) or not is still no excuse.
Sorry i did not mean to rob the bank meant to pay money in..................b****cks.
My feelings go out to the ladies concerned as this is totally unacceptable behaviour.
I will leave it up to Sh admin and others to check over the finer points of the above but I personally think it is major infringment. It may not be within the rules confining Sh accounts at the moment - but as new things happen - new rules must be made. As with any other society with laws and rules. Any rules and laws must change with technology and society we live in.
Video phones were not around when Sh started.
So maybe it is time for a quick re think and an example to be made.
Morally this is diabolical also to happen to 2 ladies.
As they are ladies after all and should be treated as such. Pro actively swinging and liking recreational sex does not make you an sex object to be paraded around to titillate others. They are ladies and should be treated accordingly.
Dont name and shame - that makes us as bad as them.
Hopefully this will be resolved quickly and wisely (as i think it will) by admin and the Sh team.
In no way is this meant to antagonise or belittle the sh Admin or team. As i think you do a fantastic job and love you all.
I know this is a weird one 100% and outside the noraml premise of 'The rules'.
I just hope this is sorted out swiftly, positively and discreetly now.

Hiya folks...Were so sorry to have heard about the infringements of the ladies and gents concerned in the said have taken what we consider to be appropriate actions concerning the filmers in regards to our social , in the hope that this will ease peoples minds a stick by the rule that if anyone wants to take pics / videos they must have the expicit permission of the people concerned will make this personally clear when we send out the details of our you to all those that helped within this matter and i hope that the moronic actions of the few have not/and will not ruin this lifestyle for the rest of within it.
We wish everyone within this lifestyle all the best for the love you all especially those of you who have become good friends to us within the last year.

Love Laura and Ant x x x x x x
It saddens me to read that an obviously popular event was married by this persons actions.
I don't think blanket bans on pictures at parties and socials are the answer, the simple soloution is always ask whoever your taking a picture of if its okay to take it, and where it might be used (the later not always easy to define)
Back when swinging was all about ads in the back of loot, which is how I first got involved in it with an ex, god, years ago. Myself and my then partner met up with a couple whom owned a pub in Lecesiter. After asking us if we were up for being videoed. To which we gave a resounding no to. I discovered that later we were actually being filmed, even though the guy in question tried to maintain the camera was off. Well knowing something about Cameras, I put the lens cap on it, rewound the tape and then camera blacked the whole thing from the beginning.
We were very young and somewhat naieve back then, but jesus that was a horrorfying experience and I didnt come back to the scene after that until some ten years later.
To hear of anything similar, I always find very disrespectful.
Has this person even apologised??
Yes.....they have in chatroom........but they can apologize until aslong as they live........ I cant and will not forgive them for what they have done.......I feel so humiliated...they have put me to shame.............
Oh and yes bollocks and bollocks to 'uploading' the wrong fucking files you liar. You knew what you was doing even though we didnt, you fucking perv. I could say hope you rot in hell but im catholic god forbid.................
the rules of the site are if we name this piece of shit this thread will be shut down and trouble for the person naming him. we have to do this within the rules of the site this thread is not a witch hunt and soz jeana but no burning at the stake hun lol the idea of the thread was so people were aware of what happened to us and dont make the same mistake as we did. What happened to me and the others will stay with me forever but we cant change whats happened just have to move forward but if it stops this happening to any other people it will be worth aware from others that he has been asked to put a response on this thread if he does or not is another matter. This person has apologised to me also in a chat room but i dont accept this apology how the hell can you take a film without peoples knowledge and i dont believe for on minute he "put the wrong file on disc" this person in my view has done this knowing full well of what he has done i just dont think he expected the response that has happened.
How can you stop it happening if you didn't know it was happening anyway? Naming and shaming is not the answer but I do agree that any organiser needs to know, so that they can make an informed decision. However, I think the onus is on the organiser to ask admin/mods if this person is on their list. Admin and mods can't win on this one - if they ask for guest lists people think they are being intrusive and over-policing. If they don't ask, people say they are neglecting their reponsibility.
It appears that this person is a chat room person who is known by others - if that's the case, don't invite him. He's obviously committed a foul act and needs to know that he isn't welcome because of that. But highlighting the action on forum is a bit pointless anyway if he did it secretly. If someone's that determined to do that, it matters little that you asked people not to.
the idea is to make people look around them! yes i do agree admin should make it known to the people who do the socials who this person is
it has been brought to my attention this member is banned at the mo now thank you admin xxxxx
