"Cant say ive come across that issue with anyone Jaffa. " The exception to the rule? I’m glad you haven’t | |||

"I use the word journey all the time to describe where I've come from and why I'm here so I'll always prefer to chat to women who are not overly experienced and are exploring things for the first time and are on their own journey of discovery. That takes trust and is a little less casual. " Do you begin a monogamous relationship with people whose journey you are part of? | |||
"I just think I'm that fooking irresistible that no gender could only want a hook up with me tbh.... I do think for what ever reason that less women are interested in casual sex than men. So the worry is founded in some level of experiance for most of us" Would you agree that the lack of interest from some women in casual sex is due to it being frowned upon by “polite society” and the fear of being slut shamed? | |||
"I just think I'm that fooking irresistible that no gender could only want a hook up with me tbh.... I do think for what ever reason that less women are interested in casual sex than men. So the worry is founded in some level of experiance for most of us" the 'for whatever reason' is purely social conditioning in my opinion. challenge your conditioning!! | |||

That takes trust and is a little less casual. Do you begin a monogamous relationship with people whose journey you are part of?" Not necessarily. That depends on the level of discussion. | |||

" Apologies, I should have said committed relationship rather than monogamous. Monogamy doesn’t need to be part of it but would you class it as more than a fwb agreement? | |||

Absolutely... To be honest I'm more likely to be the one wanting more these days and I've known plenty women who want nothing more than the sex so I'm well aware that Gender isn't the deciding factor. But what we hear growing up is born out in practice | |||

Yes that would be a good description. | |||
  (so it must be just the good sex   ) but this has happened to me a few times in the past, not that it’s put me off or that I believe this is always the case which I’m sure it isn’t.

" Also I have a speaker in the shower especially to drown out the voices in my head… "I have music blaring in the shower but perhaps that just eggs the voices on  | |||
"Personally I find that it starts out that way, just something casual, FWB or FB’s but then people want something more, and I’m sure it happens the other way around also, and I’m certainly not saying that it’s alway like that, and if it does happen then brilliant, as long as both people are on the same page. I’m sure I’m not that loveable (so it must be just the good sex ) but this has happened to me a few times in the past, not that it’s put me off or that I believe this is always the case which I’m sure it isn’t.
Also I have a speaker in the shower especially to drown out the voices in my head… "if the sex is good and you get on its hard not to get the feels on one side or the other its true. sex is an intimate act after all. but i think even getting the feels is ok as long as people are communicating their boundaries and expectations. we are hardwired for love after all | |||

I have music blaring in the shower but perhaps that just eggs the voices on "I’ve had that problem too, so sometimes I listen to interesting monologues compilations from movies, or stand up comedians I like…. | |||
"I suppose I’m talking about the members who are all talk, no action so to speak. The ones who go so far as to organise a meet and then back out if it or disappear. Do they get spooked because deep down they can’t handle the thought that someone just wants to shag and leave it at that?" No I think it's more that the wife was being a bit suspicious that night | |||

I'd say a lot of them never had an intention of meeting in the first place but just loved the excitement of the build up to a meet and the thought that someone wanted them then nerves take hold and they can't go through with it because they have built up a fake persona or something . I don't know why people do it but they do seemingly and it just seems like a lot of effort for nothing. | |||

I've only ever had one spontaneous meet with someone suffering hangover horn and even though it broke all my own rules and I'd only started chatting the day before I went along. Less than 30 mins later I was back in the car on my way. I was fully dressed the entire time and it was all about her pleasure. She messaged to thank me that night and then blocked me.

"Personally I find that it starts out that way, just something casual, FWB or FB’s but then people want something more, and I’m sure it happens the other way around also, and I’m certainly not saying that it’s alway like that, and if it does happen then brilliant, as long as both people are on the same page. I’m sure I’m not that loveable (so it must be just the good sex ) but this has happened to me a few times in the past, not that it’s put me off or that I believe this is always the case which I’m sure it isn’t.
Also I have a speaker in the shower especially to drown out the voices in my head…
if the sex is good and you get on its hard not to get the feels on one side or the other its true. sex is an intimate act after all. but i think even getting the feels is ok as long as people are communicating their boundaries and expectations. we are hardwired for love after all "Yes, this exactly…. 
I’m always afraid I’m going to be the one wanting more, I don’t always think sex is just a physical thing, or not for me anyway, there has to be some sort of connection or attraction there, so I think communication is very important.
I think beyond feelings, circumstances will dictate how things progress, or for me anyway. If I’m not in a position to progress to another level then I find it easier to maintain the casual status.
I stood in the doorway of a girls house one morning and as I was leaving she asks me if she could see me again and I told her I wasn’t looking for anything serious, to which she replied “well at your age you’d want to hurry up”….. and this was years ago….  | |||

"Myself and the voices in my head have great conversations in the shower. Today’s one… Is one of the problems with the “casual sex scene” (I’m not gonna saying swinging so that I don’t trigger the purists) that the majority of people grow up hearing that women always want more than sex, they want a relationship. I think most women on the dating/casual sex scene would have experienced being met with disbelief when you say you just want something casual. Does this lingering belief mean that some (not all men etc etc) are intimidated/confused/refuse to believe women who are sexually liberated and just want some damn good sex without the icky relationship stuff
Join in with the conversation between me and me or post your own shower thoughts!"I think that men can happily accept that idea but so few women openly state it. Maybe for fear of being inundated by Willy pics and proposals of the best sex of their lives. Maybe because the ratio here allows them to be picky, I don't know. I wish more women would just say so, if that is all they need. | |||

Ara now who could possibly be more interesting than your own internal monologue.
Also, apparently some people don’t experience an internal monologue which baffles me "I have daily full-blown conversations with myself, with others and imaginary people, not only in the shower either - does that make me weird?
As for the original post - I'm not just looking for a good shag or hot, steamy sex. Though I have had the luck of a few once-offs here, leaving me breathless. Circumstances didn't permit a follow-up at the time.
I look for intimacy. For there to be intimacy, there has to be a closeness, a relaxed, warm, friendly, trusting athmosphere, a willingness to be vulnerable and allow the other "in". I've found that first time or once-off sex with a stranger - hot as it may be, can also be a disappointment. But unless you do it, how are you going to find out if you do it for each other?
If I'm compatible with someone sexually speaking and there's compatibility on other levels too, possibly emotions - what's stopping opening the conversation of more, whatever more that may be? That doesn't mean I'm going in guns blazing looking for a full blown, committed, monogamous relationship after I've met someone, had great sex with them once or twice, or even more. It means I keep an open mind for possibilities and communicate with whomever I may be intimate with to discuss mutual boundaries and options.
It's all about open, honest communication. If there's no interest for anything more than the once-off social/meet, FB or FWB arrangement, then be an adult and respect the decision of the other. If there's too much emotion involved on one side, but not reciprocated on the other, you're better off leaving it/him/her/them behind you - as painful as it may be.

Growing up yes....The church,your parents,your mates all helped shape your attitude towards casual sex If a girl was having sex with different fellas she was a slut ( except the fellas she was having sex with never said that in case they missed out ) When I joined the site I met a woman who carried condoms for the first time in my life I never knew a woman who masturbated before None of these things were the normal in society when I was growing up | |||
"I just think I'm that fooking irresistible that no gender could only want a hook up with me tbh.... I do think for what ever reason that less women are interested in casual sex than men. So the worry is founded in some level of experiance for most of us Would you agree that the lack of interest from some women in casual sex is due to it being frowned upon by “polite society” and the fear of being slut shamed?" My lack of interest in purely casual sex is that it's just not as good as connected sex, like, ever. And for that reason, because I seek a connection before sex, men do think I am looking for more (which I may or may not be depending on the dude). My other issue is that guys say they want "casual" but what they mean is, they want full effort, lingerie, A-game sex, intimacy, all on their terms, with zero obligations, feelings or consequences. | |||

Growing up yes....The church,your parents,your mates all helped shape your attitude towards casual sex If a girl was having sex with different fellas she was a slut ( except the fellas she was having sex with never said that in case they missed out ) When I joined the site I met a woman who carried condoms for the first time in my life I never knew a woman who masturbated before None of these things were the normal in society when I was growing up Indeed, those were the days, i remember when virgin megastore *irony* started selling condoms in dublin. it was a big deal. like women were only relatively recently being sent to homes if they got pregnant outside marraige. sex was sinful here for years, these ideas dont pass overnight. no wonder theres so much confusion and inhibition." Yes and Fab has helped me no end in releasing the shackles of so-called 'societal norms'. Mrs | |||

Yes, many men think women always want something more than sex.
I'm older and wiser and know that quite often women want only sex.
Took me a while to realise that it wasn't just guys and, when I did, life changed considerably.
There was a lot of consensual sex without strings.
That was London 1997.
I've yet to find same in Ireland in 2021 | |||

"I think feeling intimidated by assertive sexually confident women is why some men end up not turning up at meets . " Give us a chance lads!  | |||
"I read a report on a wide ranging study covering OECD countries, that only about 20% of women between the age of 35-60 consider that having regular sex would be essential to their physical and mental well-being. So this leaves a whopping 80% of women who just don't prioritize getting laid on a regular basis. The average health male has twenty times higher testosterone level than the average healthy female, so this alone makes men much more predisposed to impulsivity and engage in higher risk activities. Just go to any extreme sports event- motorcoss race, surfing competition, cycle road race, rock climbing event, and the majority of participants are invariably male. " I wonder how many women on fab were surveyed on that one. Surveys are only as accurate as the range of people involved. | |||

Yes women are equally likely to engage in casual sex as men are, but the percentage of women who are actively pursuing casual sex for sheer enjoyment is quite small. How else could the disparity between the ratio of males and females on a swinging site be explained? | |||

I think societal conditioning plays a massive role in the secrecy and shame (for some) around casual sex but of course hormones will come in to play with regards to libido etc | |||

" I think the fear of being slut shamed means that some women would never consider joining a site like fab. In my case, none of my “vanilla” friends know about this side of me and I’m nearly positive that they would be horrified by the thought of it. I’ve decided not to fall out with any of them by giving them the potential chance to slut shame me | |||

Hormones could be part of it too, there's a peri-menopausal surge which can increase a womans libido | |||

"I should have clarified that when I said casual, I didn’t necessarily mean one off encounters. Repeat meets can stay casual once communication is there and everyone is on board. " I think that, as time goes on, more guys will realise your original post to be true. More women are now stating that they just want sex without strings but, as you say, regularly from one or more partners, without it leading to a relationship. The more often guys hear and experience that, the more common and accepted it becomes. Just stop the ones that get "feels" easily from lying/luring and we'll get there quicker
That goes for both sides of the FB setup, not just the ladies | |||
