I always go with the intention I WANT to play.. but sometimes I find I dont feel at ease enough to play once Ive arrived... Whatever the reason. So real regular swingers... does that mean I'd be unwelcome cos I wasn't willing to arrive n play regardless?
Or maybe just this is the reason the play has diminished?
Does being a swinger mean your expected to play with any other person thats there?.. Cos me is a little confoosed now
When I started out I was always told it's about being respectful tooo each others desires as well as your own, so this is how I play. Am I wrong

If you go to a club, party or private meet and don't want to play because you don't click with anyone, then that is never a problem. No one would expect you to. However, many people now seem go to clubs and parties with no intention of playing whatsoever, no matter who is there. If you went a couple of times and didn't play that would be understandable. People that go many times and don't play beg the question 'why go to a club when you really are looking for a social situation like a pub?'
Swinging is not about feeling obliged to play because you are there, but surely it is about actually playing at some point, and hopefully, more often than not.
I've found this thread very interesting. I recently went to my first party organised by fellow SH-ers. It was stated that the party was for players and I thought 'well, I'm always game!' so I asked for an invite. Then, day of the party came, and didn't I just have a complete afternoon of blind panic. Exactly what constituted a 'player'? Would I be expected to 'play' with people I wasn't attracted to? Would I lose my nerve? etc etc...
I went to the party and, just as northwest-cpl said, there was no pressure on anyway to do anything they didn't want to at all, far from it. However there was an expectation that during the evening there would be play. That's why we were there, that's what we enjoyed doing and, let's be honest, that was the thing that we had in common and the reason people were there.
I'm not a club-goer so I can't comment on that aspect of the scene. But I would just echo what has been said about there being no pressure put on people to do anything they don't want to do... that wouldn't be respectful and it wouldn't be sexy at all.
A group of likeminded adults gathering with the intention to play, now that is sexy!
