I was asked, right out there in the office, "Are you a swinger?"
So what did I say? "Yes, there is no good music about now."
Yes I know, but I did not lie, and no way was I going to say "Yes, do you want a fuck?"

nope... leave an air of mystery
keep 'em guessing

I have never been asked.
If the questioner is the one person I love who doesnt already know I would answer truthfully that I like to indulge in recreational sex with one or more people other than minx (I really dont like labels they give such the wrong ideas). If the questioner were anybody else I would decide why they were enquiring and either explain why their question was unwarranted or unwelcome or chat about what I choose to do as appropriate.
what he said "fuck all to do with anyone" its private, hate labels
I tell people if I am good and ready and if they are important enough to know.
Everyone i consider to be important knows in my life:- my son , friends, dad. Three work colleagues. I would talk about it, if it came up in context. I am generally quite a private person though and I wouldn't seek to share my personal life with anyone.
It would all depend on who was asking the question ...
If it was my Mum then I'd deny all knowledge as she is a total prude and would refuse to ever babysit for me again!!
Some of my vanilla friends know some of what we do as does my sister and one of the girls I share an office with looks forward to the days when we are both in the office together as she is very intrigued by our way of life ... I'm just waiting for her to ask to come along to a club with us!! :twisted:
I hate lies but feel there is a time and a place for avoiding answering some questions, I often use humour as an avoidance technique!!
I was aked outright at a recent school reunion...because someone my hubs trusted blabbed.....I feigned horror and said nope...you must be mistaken....Im a chatline girl!!
When I was single and meeting on my own my Mum thought I was on a dating site, it got a bit akward when my aunt was asking which one coz she`d like to sign up too as I seemed to be meeting quite a few nice men, blimey I soon steered that conversation away :eeek:
A few work friends know what we do and have even been on the site themselves, I work predominently with men so I`m used to the banter and getting ribbed anyway, but we don`t swap partners so I`m not sure if I`d label myself or BMW as "swingers" in the true sense of the word anyway, so if I did deny it that would be the truth, its win win for us :giggle:
Was asked outright once at a party while I was on a 'nilla date with someone (not the person asking). I smiled sweetly and answered "Been there, done that, thrown away the teeshirt"
Did lead to a lot of "discusions" when we got back to the date's house, however he wasnt a 'nill for much longer :twisted:
Oooooohhh. What a bugger of a situation.
As far as I'm concerned it's a don't ask don't tell situation. And has been for quite a while, both for work reasons and because explaining it to my mam would be like teaching St Hild to parallel park.
In a past life I used to end up in people's homes or discussing their domestic circumstances as part of my work. I don't think some husbands would have been comfortable with a promiscuous man calling on their wives, even if they knew I had strict rules about not shagging clients.
So I tend to act daft about the specifics while sticking to my firmly held theoretical belief that the state has no business messing about with people's sex lives, and that privacy and prurience are incompatible concepts that explain precisely why we have the worst tabloid press in the world.
i just say "i put the gerrrrr into swinger baby" and do a really rubbish austin powers impression.
My sex life is no-one's business but my own (and my partners of course). But if someone were to ask - in the context of a sensible conversation of course - are you gay? I would probably answer with the truth. The same with 'are you a swinger?'. It would depend on the context and the person asking. I'm certainly not ashamed of my life-choices, nor am I in a job where it would matter. But equally I wouldn't bring it up. Mostly for the sake of not embarrassing the other person.
