O.K, flippant title, serious (ahem) thread.
I was chatting to someone a while back when they used the phrase "sloppy seconds."
I was aghast, as I thought I was the only "swinger" who ever thought to themselves "I couldn't sleep with x, as I know they've slept with y"
I'll give a made up example, rather than allowing discretion to muddy the waters.
You go to a munch. At the munch, you chat to X. You think "phwoar- I really would!" Nothing will come of it that night,(maybe you have plans, whatever) but you flirt, and there's a "frisson." Next morning, you're leaving MunchTown when you see X & Y- perhaps leaving a hotel, clearly having enjoyed eachothers company.
As I said, the example is to take indiscretion out of the equation. How you know is not relevant, the point is, you know.
Does that knowledge have any effect on you?
Do you simply not care?
If you don't care, would you rather not know- or doesn't it bother you in the least?
If it does bother you, given the circles we move in, can you figure out why?
Having spoken to a couple of people about it, the main consensus is that they would care if they disliked Y.
Does liking of disliking the third party factor in your feelings?
Blimey- a thread about you-know-what
Over to you :thumbup:
