Hello all,
First time posting on here in a while. Hope you are all well.
So I was curious to know if anyone on here is interested in existentialism and if so, how do you incorporate it into your experiences. |

Existentialism is a philosophical theory that people are free agents who have control over their choices and actions. Existentialists believe that society should not restrict an individual's life or actions and that these restrictions inhibit free will and the development of that person's potential. |

Yes we know all that, and many of us believe that we have full control of our choices and our actions.
So how do you incorporate it into swinging?? |

I'd say swinging very much lends itself to the basic principles of existentialism, however, anyone that started proclaiming themself to be an existentialist, or spouting forth about it, I'd probably think was a bit of a pillock and give a wide berth. |

Yes, the forums on this site are not renowned for intellectual discourse! |

How would society restrict people's lives? Like speed limits and laws? |

I take issue with the web searched, cut and pasted definition of existentialism. The definition you chose to paste paints existential ideas into a libertarian corner with overtones of anarchism. I take issue with this. It is a philosophy about the meaning, or lack, of life, not of politics. |

People can post what they like as long as it's within the rules. |

Take as your starting point that 'God(s) doesn't/don't exist' therefore removing meaning from life (if life's meaning is the attainment of heaven, nirvana, whatever).
'Existential angst' is the realisation that life is apparently meaningless and absurd ('there is no meaning in the world beyond what meaning we give it').
The only thing which can give meaning to your life is yourself (we are all individuals). What doesn't matter are the labels, stereotypes, roles etc. which others or society may confer on us. |

While your insights are inalienably phenomenological within a semiotic post-libidinal ontology, there remains a phallogocentric dialectism absent from his thesis which inaugurates a type of somatic, bimodal reinvigoration of prediscursive Marcusian polymorphousness.

I'm probably talking absolute bollocks here because I'm not sure what the fuck it all means, but that description just sounded like an excuse given to behave however the hell ya want and balls to anyone who may get hurt along the way.

Yeah I've read it again, and it really just sounds like a load of bumphus to excuse acting like a seed-sowing cheating cuntwaffle |

Welcome to the forums my lovely.
I’m assuming you’re new here as you’ve only posted on 2 threads so far.
For many of us - fab is far more than just a sex site - particularly at a time when we can’t even have sex!
Anything and everything is discussed on the forums - and as swingers are a cross section of society - some threads are more intellectual than others.
I’m sure you’ll find many threads on sexual preferences, ‘who would you like to meet’ etc threads on here too - but occasionally there’ll be more intellectual/evocative threads that you can ignore if you wish!
Huge hugs
