"OP touching without asking isn't only a thing from Asian men, in fact it's not only men that do it. There are disrespectful people of all genders and all ethnic origin. When people do touch without asking how do you deal with it? Do you report them to the club? If you don't then you send out the message that it is ok to behave this way and it perpetuates the problem. Club owners and staff can't put a stop to this kind of behaviour if they don't know about it." I reported one serious incident to one club, no action was taken by the club. | |||

"I don't understand why some people have trouble with single guys in clubs, I never do. All you have to do is tell them exactly what you want. If you only want them to watch 'n' wank then just say so, they invariably do exactly what they're told. If you want them to touch then just guide their hands / cocks or whatever to the right place. I guess the problems arise when the guys just have no idea what a woman is expecting of them. If you don't want single guys at all - then what are you doing at a sex club on a mixed night? Go on a couples only night. Janet" Surely we shouldn't have to choose which night we go on though because of the small minority of single men that don't have decency to ask first before touching. If a female is playing and has her back to people, then how does she know that a man is going to touch her until it happens? | |||

"Sex pests come from all countries and gave various skin colours. " Very true, we are in full agreement, but in our OP we did say that we are talking from our personal experience and our personal experiences have only been Asian men. | |||

We will attend a club on any night we choose, we will not be put off by the fact that guys are allowed to attend, but that doesn't then mean that this gives them carte blanche to grope or in any way approach us (by us I mean Jayne, no guy has ever touched me in this way, funny that lol) without first asking if we would welcome his interaction | |||

And I've experienced it far, far, far more swinging on a one to one basis. | |||

"I’ve gone to clubs and been touched without my consent by every race of man. It’s really put me off of going to clubs as a single lady. Always have to choose s private room or else it like I’m a free-for-all! So on my own, I cannot enjoy the full club experience. I like being exhibitionist. But if I want to be in the main play area I have to constantly be on guard and can’t relax. Guys try all sorts and it makes me very aggressive, when I have to keep warning men not to touch me. I feel like I need to be a super Domme going in. If I’m in the mood for that, cool. But regardless, I wish I didn’t have to deal with it. " Go with a friend on couples only nights, it's totally different and much better. Yes some couples touch without asking but they are the minority and they don't swarm the way single guys do. | |||

"In the early days as a single fem I struggled to deal with the unwanted touches. Not anymore. Learned to find my voice quickly. Nowadays a firm and very loud 'no take your hand off me' suffices. " Yes, in most cases, a loud and clear no does put a stop to it. I have experienced some men who stop for a while then try again when I’m distracted. But it should be ask first. Not touch first. | |||

"I’ve personally never had this kind of trouble (and if I did I’d be confident enough to handle it) but I went with a lady friend that had advertised on these forums she wanted to go LCs so I invited her to join me that Friday night, she came and though much shyer and less confident than me, she seemed to relax and settle into the night, so when a guy asked me for a play I made sure she felt ok to be left alone and then I went to play, when I came back she was no where to be found. A member of staff told me they’re been an unfortunate incident of two Asian men trying to force themselves onto her the staff intervened immediately and resolved the issue (the men were escorted off the premises and were permanently banned from the club) but she still left in tears. I immediately dressed and left the club to phone and go find her, when I did she was very shook up and she’s never had the confidence to go back to the club scene. I felt so awful about it all and still do. Do I believe all Asian men would have treated her this way? No of course I don’t. I’ve been back to LCs myself and still had no issues with Asian men and personally found them to be nothing but respectful, but its an unfortunate fact that dickheads like the ones that did what they did exist from all races and creeds " That is horrendous what happened to your friend, but you shouldn't feel awful about it. It's the totally disrespectful men that were solely to blame. Hope your friend is ok. | |||

As long as it's light hearted and minimum I don't mind but I understand how some wouldn't like it. | |||

One post here said they had reported an incident to the owners and nothing was done, hope a review was left for others to read and they didn't go back to said club We were at Attic when we seen a young lad asking to join some couple in a room he wouldn't take no for an answer, He was reported and he was asked to leave the club so didn't even get a chance to touch anyone. Most clubs take this kind of stance but read reviews. We have had some amazing experiences in clubs" I did leave a review but it was removed by admin. The club weren't bothered about what had happened, maybe because I was a newbie and the men were regulars, who knows. | |||

"A few months back I witnessed a friend who was playing (she was restrained on a St. Andrew’s Cross and her partner was flogging her), a couple came up behind her and the woman groped her bum, not just an accidental brush past, it was a full grab to the point it made my friend jump out of her skin. I went and spoke to the woman as my friends had said they didn’t even know who she was and she’d just walked off, and when I spoke to her she was so nasty, and even said ‘the rules don’t apply to women luv’ she did go and apologise (no one told her to, but she made a huge thing of ‘if you want me to fucking apologise I will’) but as she walked past me she shouted at her husband ‘get me the hell away from here before I punch someone’ looking directly at me. I went and spoke to the club owner who couldn’t quite believe it when I pointed out who it was, and even when the husband came and grabbed the owner and said ‘you better calm her down she’s going mental and is going to punch someone’ nothing was done. When I later spoke to the owner I asked what was being done about it, and she shrugged her shoulders at me and said ‘well they’ve been coming here years’ turned her back on me and walked off. As I left the club that night, shortly after this happened I was told that I was making a fuss over nothing. Sadly it’s not the only incident I’ve ever seen (or heard of) in this particular club but it’s the only one I’ve ever been directly involved in and I’ve always been happy at clubs on my own, all of a sudden I didn’t feel safe, and I felt very alone. " Horrible people. Hope you don't bump into them again. x | |||

"Why is it that some men in clubs seem to think it is there right to touch/play without asking? Now we aren't racist at all, but every time that a man hasn't asked for my consent, it has been an asian man. Is this something to do with their culture? Has anyone else noticed this in the club scene? Angelits more to do with eye contact and body language keep your flerting to a minimum if you don't wanna be touched " So if she'd been flirting with someone, she was asking to be sexually assaulted? Am I clear that's what you're saying? I just wanted to check my understanding... | |||

"If someone attempted an uninvited grope of T we’d be barred from the club for life because I’d flatten them !!" It's not ok to sexually assault someone. It's not ok to punch someone either. And to be honest, to me as a woman, violent men are more frightening in a club than men who touch without consent. | |||

"I had my first experience of this on Saturday, and tbh, I really threw me. In real life, I can more than easily stand up for myself, I do doorwork, used to dealing with arrogant, often d*unk men. If out with friends and someone acts inappropriately, then I'd rip them to shreds verbally, send them running for the hills. But Saturday in a club, with friends, only wearing a towel as just out the hot tub, I froze. It took a good 15/20 seconds before my brain kicked in & I could react, and even then it was just to mumble & push past, running after my friend who hadn't noticed & carried on walking. I've played it through so many times in my head. Angry with myself for not doing something. I've never considered myself vulnerable before. It certainly won't happen again " It's a reaction we would all maybe have as we don't expect inappropriate behaviour in a club, unlike when you are on the doors, you are ready and waiting. As you said, won't happen again as you have had a kick up the bum not to let yr guard down. Not nice people lurk everywhere and raise their ugly faces expected or not | |||

" Of course for such a rule to be established then women would have to be in complete agreement and be prepared to do the legwork. Would the fair ladies of Fab prefer this situation to be enforced and become exclusively huntresses to rule out this attention from undesirables?

I agree that you shouldn't have to, in an ideal world the undesirables should merely stop being such dickheads, that's a far better solution. But it's a fact sadly that this isn't an ideal world and these idiots will always exist, through any generation or culture. And they don't come complete with a large penis tattooed on their heads that means they get refused entry at the door. I just came up with that solution as unwanted attention from undesirable single males is probably the most common complaint in clubs, going on forum posts and things I've been told by friends, and enforcing this rule would be guaranteed absolutely to completely knock this problem on the head. Making the first move isn't really a challenge, after all in standard vanilla clubs in the 90s that I remember lads were expected to do it most of the time and it was just accepted as the norm. The way I see it there's no pressure, the women have nothing to lose and everything to gain, as in the worst case a lady's hand being merely pushed away in a noisy environment or being told "No thanks, I don't find you attractive in that way" when in a standard setting has no bad consequences whatsoever. Whereas being touched by those you would rather not have make contact with you could certainly be a bad experience? At the very least a certain club night given over to these rules could be introduced at most establishments and most women or couples could visit with more of a sense of freedom as the main problem of clubs has on that night been eradicated completely. What do other ladies think? | |||

"OP touching without asking isn't only a thing from Asian men, in fact it's not only men that do it. There are disrespectful people of all genders and all ethnic origin. When people do touch without asking how do you deal with it? Do you report them to the club? If you don't then you send out the message that it is ok to behave this way and it perpetuates the problem. Club owners and staff can't put a stop to this kind of behaviour if they don't know about it." I work as staff in a very large club and find this happens a lot. I am often hearing days later that something happened over the weekend, but nobody bothered to tell us on the night. If this does happen on a night, if we feel it is necessary, we will kick the offender out and block their membership. Nobody should ever have to feel unsafe in a club. | |||

It is *illegal* to touch people sexually without asking. The law actually says it's illegal and you can be prosecuted for it. So what makes you think these handsy guys are more likely to listen to an informal agreement than the law? | |||

Though to what degree a lodged complaint is deemed the correct response by a lady or couple(a brush on the leg, a stroke on the bottom, brief sexual contact) is often skimmed over and a grey area. That's why if all first moves by men were made against the rules and all contact or play had to be initiated by women on a certain night then I imagine the ratio of couples and females attending on these nights would increase as a lot of ladies would feel safer. Plus it might feel empowering, them being the 'selecters' by actual rule as it were, as a lot of the time this happens to some extent already. And the only thing they would risk is being told that a certain male didn't find them appealing sexually, which isn't harmful in the least. Essentially nothing to lose and everything to gain. | |||

"I don't understand why some people have trouble with single guys in clubs, I never do. All you have to do is tell them exactly what you want. If you only want them to watch 'n' wank then just say so, they invariably do exactly what they're told. If you want them to touch then just guide their hands / cocks or whatever to the right place. I guess the problems arise when the guys just have no idea what a woman is expecting of them. If you don't want single guys at all - then what are you doing at a sex club on a mixed night? Go on a couples only night. Janet" thanks Janet wish everyone was like u | |||

" But those things aren't 'first move' - they're sexual assault! A first move is saying 'would you be interested in playing?' not touching someones butt! Verbal communication comes before physical touch no matter who is doing the asking. And having some meaningless rule like 'only women can ask men if they want to play' is not going to stop men thinking that they can touch you if they want. | |||

" Not if sticking to this simple premise hard and fast enough meant men were booted out regularly for any advances to a woman whatsoever without her making one first. A blanket ban of verbal, touching, absolutely anything without a woman explicitly telling them she wanted their attention beforehand would be the easiest to manage as there's no grey areas. It would pretty soon deliver the "smoking ban" effect as the attitude of the overwhelming majority of club patrons altered. These feely fuckwits are probably the same kind of idiots who immediately when the smoking ban came in would think nothing of lighting up a cig in the average pub. They overwhelmingly wouldn't do it now as it's highly ostracized and know full well that it would result in them being unceremoniously dumped out of the door at the very least. A lot of women would also relish their new status as 'hunters', would enjoy their night with not only no 'gropers' but no pressure to indulge at all if they didn't want to as no man present would be allowed to make any sort of approach whatsoever, including verbal. And the only thing they would possibly come up with is rejection from the guys in some cases, which causes no harm whatsoever, egos aren't fragile things, especially not when compared to the sense of having ones body pawed or mauled without consent. There can't be only me that thinks this a good idea? | |||

" Not if sticking to this simple premise hard and fast enough meant men were booted out regularly for any advances to a woman whatsoever without her making one first." Men *are* booted out of most clubs regularly for sexual assault. It doesn't put people off, apparently. I would imagine for many of these guys they've not been around the scene long. | |||

And won't be around the scene for much longer too, if they have that attitude. I just feel a total "blanket ban" as it were would do more to get it through the thick skulls of a greater number of them that it's unacceptable. | |||

There is a blanket ban on people sexually assaulting others. | |||

"Though to what degree a lodged complaint is deemed the correct response by a lady or couple(a brush on the leg, a stroke on the bottom, brief sexual contact) is often skimmed over and a grey area. That's why if all first moves by men were made against the rules and all contact or play had to be initiated by women on a certain night then I imagine the ratio of couples and females attending on these nights would increase as a lot of ladies would feel safer. But those things aren't 'first move' - they're sexual assault! A first move is saying 'would you be interested in playing?' not touching someones butt! Verbal communication comes before physical touch no matter who is doing the asking. And having some meaningless rule like 'only women can ask men if they want to play' is not going to stop men thinking that they can touch you if they want." When I’ve complained at one club that I won’t name, the response has been ‘some ladies like that’ A nudge, a touch on the shoulder maybe but not blatant grabbing tits pussy or feeling up the inside of my leg that I’ve regularly complained of. The two are very different but some don’t get that sadly. | |||

"People think it's only Swingers clubs this happens. We have witnessed men acting inappropriate on the bike scene for years. Other bikers just turn a blind eye. We got so sick of witnessing this behaviour, both the inappropriate behaviour and actions of turning a blind eye we gave up on the scene. We didn't turn a blind eye and people weren't happy with us. " That's half the problem. Many fellow swingers will call you boring or frigid if you say you're not happy with sexual assault. Even on this thread people have suggested it's the women's fault. | |||

When challenge one bloke justified it with yes but your tits look so nice and grabbable Since when did sexual assault become so normalised? | |||

We can't believe how others react turning a blind eye and saying nothing to with us or he's not done anything to me. Recent events in the press don't even make them behave. This goes for both sex. Some Woman think it's ok for them. I wore a kilt often and got so sick of females taking a feel. I would confront them saying how would you feel if I put my hand up yr skirt, they said that's different. Touching without consent. | |||

"Racist idiots. Is our culture like that. Hiding behind your keyboards and saying rubbish things. Im proud to be Asian and can assure you were not all the same" Someone would have to naive to think all Asians are like that but as only a small percentage of the people that attend swingers clubs are Asian a few of them acting badly make a big impression. Frisky is not attracted to Arabic, Asian or oriental males so we don't go looking for them. However if like us you have been approached 4 or 5 times and each has ended badly it does make you wary... As for being racist at work my life depends on my co workers and trust me there are quite a few Asian guys that would be my first choice to work with... | |||

"Racist idiots. Is our culture like that. Hiding behind your keyboards and saying rubbish things. Im proud to be Asian and can assure you were not all the same" Who has been racist? Not us for certain. We know not all men are the same, but it is the minority as in my own personal experience, which is all I have to speak from, every occasion of non consensual play has been with Asian men. Just saying. | |||

"Because the law itself would strange as it may seem have little bearing in this situation. Most in a club touched in this manner would not wish to go down the lengthy and often stressful route of prosecution and have their 'private lives' pored over in the process. I imagine most of these dickheads know this, to some extent. However, if it were a private club policy for men to not make any first moves at all, never mind touching, then the immediate ramifications would be that they could be immediately ejected which the idiots WOULD have to pay more mind to as it would hugely spoil any plans they had in the here and now. There aren't any clubs where non-consensual touching isn't against the rules. To a large extent yes, as you have said it mirrors the law which is no bad thing. Though to what degree a lodged complaint is deemed the correct response by a lady or couple(a brush on the leg, a stroke on the bottom, brief sexual contact) is often skimmed over and a grey area. That's why if all first moves by men were made against the rules and all contact or play had to be initiated by women on a certain night then I imagine the ratio of couples and females attending on these nights would increase as a lot of ladies would feel safer. Plus it might feel empowering, them being the 'selecters' by actual rule as it were, as a lot of the time this happens to some extent already. And the only thing they would risk is being told that a certain male didn't find them appealing sexually, which isn't harmful in the least. Essentially nothing to lose and everything to gain. You're still missing the point though...that some men would still just ignore the rules. Not if sticking to this simple premise hard and fast enough meant men were booted out regularly for any advances to a woman whatsoever without her making one first. A blanket ban of verbal, touching, absolutely anything without a woman explicitly telling them she wanted their attention beforehand would be the easiest to manage as there's no grey areas.

These feely fuckwits are probably the same kind of idiots who immediately when the smoking ban came in would think nothing of lighting up a cig in the average pub. They overwhelmingly wouldn't do it now as it's highly ostracized and know full well that it would result in them being unceremoniously dumped out of the door at the very least. A lot of women would also relish their new status as 'hunters', would enjoy their night with not only no 'gropers' but no pressure to indulge at all if they didn't want to as no man present would be allowed to make any sort of approach whatsoever, including verbal. And the only thing they would possibly come up with is rejection from the guys in some cases, which causes no harm whatsoever, egos aren't fragile things, especially not when compared to the sense of having ones body pawed or mauled without consent. There can't be only me that thinks this a good idea?" How would it be any easier managed than it currently is? Men break rules, they still will. It is happening and will continue to happen. Not all clubs care when complaints are made, those men who just come up and touch without asking are still allowed in. It's just won't work. | |||

My own view is that normal rules don’t apply as a dark room is a place where the aim is touching or being touched by anonymous people. The right to say no still exists though. | |||

"Im an asian guy and I've never touched a woman without consent. Im actually respectful and probably too shy to approach a woman but i will stare. As It had been said before it depends on your background anyone from any race that thinks is okay to degrade women by thinking if its there they can touch it will do so at a swinging club or a normal one. Making it all about one race is racist and leads to racial discrimination which seems to be a big trend on this site. Its disgusting. " We would agree with that as we have said before bad behaviour is not confined to any particular race in our experience. | |||
