My partner and I have discussed the idea of playing with other couples and are theoretically okay with it (maybe, kind of, someday...) - and it wouldn't be "poly" because we don't want outside <i>relationships</i>, just the physical stuff - but goddamn I <i>so</i> can't call it "swinging".<br /><br />It probably doesn't help that I was at an acquaintance's house once (years and years ago) and found a swinger magazine there. this was basically a big book of personal ads from couples looking for other couples to swap with - and there were a lot of pictures. The men were very much chest-hair-and-gold-chainy and the women all seemed to be in submissive "I'm offering myself up as an object so come and get me" poses. It wigged the fuck out of me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-4903646407310573882010-07-13T10:56:37.914-04:002010-07-13T10:56:37.914-04:00I wonder, if male bisexuality had the same sort of...<i>I wonder, if male bisexuality had the same sort of cultural "hotness" as female bisexuality, would we see a lot more otherwise straight guys explore at least the trappings of bisexuality? </i><br /><br />I'm gonna say yes. The goth community tends to be much more pro-genderbending and pro-boy/boy than other social cliques, and (coincidentally?) there are a lot of barsexual dudes to be found. Probably more genuinely bi dudes, too.<br /><br />(<i>Barsexual</i>: someone who'll make out with people of the same sex, but only in a bar or other public venue for the purpose of titillating onlookers.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-43469358657295987052010-07-13T02:09:41.125-04:002010-07-13T02:09:41.125-04:00It seems to be a "straight men, straight or b...<i>It seems to be a "straight men, straight or bi (and preferably bi) women only" community in most areas.</i><br /><br />Well, that and only a subset of straight men. Everything I've experienced reinforces the idea that I'm not welcome there on my own merits, but maybe they'll tolerate my presence if I bring some woman along as my "ticket."

My friends who run the large local swinger parties are very tolerant (and also bdsm-friendly, going so far as to rent me one of their two party locations -- a building on their home property,no less -- for a bdsm party, for well under what they would've made for a swinger party), but the community as a whole is freaked out by bi males, whereas being bi as a woman is pretty much like counting as five-thirds of a person. The few bi male swingers I know mostly keep it quiet fromall but their closest (swinger) friends.Jackhttp://www.nothtattheresanythingwrongwiththat.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-1568421846158624242010-07-12T20:49:44.258-04:002010-07-12T20:49:44.258-04:00Hey baby, what's your sign?Hey baby, what's your sign?Mousie00noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-72115220839081744262010-07-12T18:43:34.996-04:002010-07-12T18:43:34.996-04:00I'd have more interest in the "swinging&q...I'd have more interest in the "swinging" community if they weren't generally hostile towards bi men.<br /><br />It seems to be a "straight men, straight or bi (and preferably bi) women only" community in most areas.Not Menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-30458811461600441452010-07-12T18:32:28.569-04:002010-07-12T18:32:28.569-04:00I kind of want to do a themed halloween costume wi...I kind of want to do a themed halloween costume with my wife of "Two wild and crazy guys" - I figure it'll be a good way to bring up the topic in public and get away with it. <br /><br />"Come on foxes, lets swing."<br /><br />"Haha, yeah."<br /><br />"Oh we're totally serious.
