"That's shocking" Rape happens in all sorts of places. Convictions when it is in an overtly sexual setting less so. | |||

I agree about women though. The same rules apply. How hard is it to say "may I"? | |||

"Maybe women will also realise they can't just wonder up to men and start touching them in a sexually inappropriate way. I've often seen them hunting in packs looking for a male victim " I haven't seen that in clubs but I can imagine it happening. I have found a beckoning finger works very well and there is no need to pounce on anyone until they consent. | |||

It's fine if they keep their distance but it can be distracting, and too many seem to think it's fine to splooge all over whomever they want to, so you have to have one part of your brain tracking who is where, so you can ask them to move back a bit and keep their man gunk away from you if necessary. That spoils things a bit for me. That said, I've been at fet events with the obligatory pot bellied, bare chested men in stinky leather waistcoats and crusty pouches who stand at the sidelines, alone, wanking furiously. That's equally nasty. | |||

I really appreciate it when other people ask them to step back. If I wanted someone to join in, I would invite them providing everyone else was happy. I don't understand why men think standing over you waving their cock in your face is going to get them anything more than a go away. I've also had a situation where I was mucking about in a room with a few others and there was this vile women barking vulgar comments at us through the bars. It really put me off. Again, she didn't ask if it was ok for her to do that. As we were in view, I can understand people watching but not trying to engage without invite. crystal | |||

"Im glad she was taken seriously and someone has been convicted despite the surroundings There have been at least 3 occassions over the last 6 yrs where I have been touched without permission,mostly dealt with by myself or my OH effectively but one time when I should have dealt with it in a better way but thought I would have been made to feel likeca killjoy with no sense of humour,ive learnt a lesson from that though and wouldn't allow the same situation to happen again" we have been at a social where a guy was a little keen on me - i gave all the responses and body language to say back off without being rude and causing a bad atmosphere within the group - but his hand still appeared on my leg - it was dealt with with a few well chosen words from W and we left soon after - the rest of the evening had been fun and no need to push it towards the end - im sorry for the woman involved but glad of the outcome - does emphasise the no is no - | |||

"In an environment which relies so much on trust and mutual respect, I would have thought that the risks of his type of thing happening in a private environment are much higher than in a club where there are so many other people. Especially for single ladies, I'd guess that most have been in a situation where they have been getting quite intimate but something changed and you wanted to end the situation, or the meet has wanted to do things that you haven't (You want to stick that were). At least in a club if you scream for help, help WILL break down the door to get you. That help will not just be the staff of the club, but also many of the members. " The problem is when people are too afraid to scream for help. | |||

"All of these comments make me more certain that clubs are not for me. Im not at all surprised that a woman got raped at a swingers club." Why? Do you mean because of the issues with disrespectful people that are so often discussed on here? Tales of guys trying to break into locked rooms to get at the people in there? Those cases are rare. But it is a good point. If at least one guy that has acted this way at a club reads this... and changes his ways.... good. | |||

"All of these comments make me more certain that clubs are not for me. Im not at all surprised that a woman got raped at a swingers club." What?! Just because she chooses to go to a swingers club, why should it not be a surprise? I can imagine there's a similar attitude to rape if the woman had been drinking or had been walking alone at night. Those attitudes are WRONG. Why do we blame the victim? We should be blaming the rapist. It's rape because of HIS actions, not hers. crystal | |||

"As a club goer I've been following this story in the press with interest. I think the one thing its highlighted for me is that if you get unwanted attention in a club you have to speak up. You have to be strong to be a single female clubber. Yes people maybe there to help but ultimately it is your responsibility to speak up - say no loud and firmly. Do not be afraid of making a fuss or being seen as a party pooper.Make it very clear that no means no. Report to management if they dont listen . Its MY body I get to say if anybody can touch. I know rape is a totally different situation to unwanted attention but it is all about boundaries and consent. Hope the woman gets some closure after her ordeal." But you shouldn't feel like a party pooper and if anyone is making you feel like a party pooper, tell the management because it sounds like someone's trying to push you into doing something you don't want to do even if they haven't actually touched without consent. crystal | |||

"All of these comments make me more certain that clubs are not for me. Im not at all surprised that a woman got raped at a swingers club." Swingers clubs are not rape-clubs, or non-consensual sex clubs. Why would she be more likely to get raped at a swinger club? Because women who go to swinger clubs should expect all they get? That's a poor attitude to have. Its not up to women to watch what they do and where they are, its up to men to actually NOT RAPE! | |||

"I prefer to meet at clubs because its safer than meeting at other places " People who don't go to clubs seem to think the atmosphere is bordering on dangerous. Now I have read the bare bones of the story but don't know exactly what happened, but in my experience clubs are the safest place to meet people. Much better than going to a strangers house or meeting them in a strange hotel. Bad people do bad things. Blaming the club, the lifestyle, or the woman is missing the point - its the bloke who did it, and he's been convicted of it too! | |||

"Swingers clubs are more than likely the safest place to frequent,you have more chance of being sexually assaulted in a pub or night club, or the bloody London underground during rush he, and yes I'm speaking of exp" I was out once at a nice little pub in a nice area with 2 other friends and we all spoke to this bloke. Afterwards, he started eyeing me off from a distance and then as he walked past me, touched the side of my breast. I chose to ignore him and nothing else happen, but I wished I had complained to the bouncers and had him chucked out. There's no excuse to touch anyone, whether male or female unless invited! | |||

If I'm concerned about someone, I wouldn't ask them myself. I would inform management. I would never disturb a scene or play. I wouldn't even walk up to a woman and ask her if she was ok if it appeared she was being harassed. I would always let a DM, security, bouncer, staff member, etc know. I would also make a couple of people I was with aware of my concerns so there are more eyes watching. If you ask someone if they're ok and the person they're being harassed by is near, they may say they're fine for fear of upsetting that person. DB9 - I am always taken seriously by staff at clubs and events when I have been made to feel uncomfortable, even if nothing has happened, I feel like I'm being looked out for whereas in pubs and nightclubs, I feel like my complaint has been shrugged off and in one incident been made to feel like it was my fault for dancing where I was dancing. It's not the location that's the problem, it's the people and I think club staff have a much better understanding of these incidents because there's less victim blaming which is common in society. There's a poster which I saw on facebook that said one in three rapes happen when the woman has been drinking. I think it was a police poster. What made me so angry with that is that it suggests the woman shouldn't drink. WRONG. Just because a woman drinks, it does not give men more of a right to sexually assault her. crystal | |||

"Does seem some people are still using the excuse for women going to swingers clubs as gagging for it, and as for dressing up in sexy clothes as wanting it. No still means no, wherever you are, and whatever you're wearing or not." Exactly So does that mean the same goes for woman who are in the town on a night out dresses up to the hilt in low tops and short skirts are gagging for it as well, some ppl come out with strangest remarks | |||

"It's just a shame the judge hasn't taken it that seriously. Released on bail to get his affairs in order pre-sentencing! I was disgusted at that too. Why should he be allowed time to get his affairs in order? " It's not that uncommon. Lots of people are released between conviction and sentencing - provided they're not thought to be a flight risk. | |||

"Would think others in club would notice..Unfortunately I'm not aware of the club and layout And your point is ? " The reports in the paper are misleading by calling the room where it happened a smoking room. It is not - smoking is not allowed inside the building only out on the patio. This reference to the smoking room confused me when I was originally trying to work out the details from the newspaper reports. It occurred in the mirrored room, which is a bit of an oddity in that many people don't seem to realise that it's there. There is no window into it (all the other 'open' rooms have internal windows so people can watch) and the door is easy to miss. So she went into an 'open' room with him possibly not realising that it is not as open as the rest. I have played in that room on very busy nights and no-one has even realised that we were in there till we left it. | |||

"It's reassuring to know that sexual assault is taken seriously when it occurs within a swingers club. Hopefully, it'll help those that doesn't already realise it that a swingers club isn't a free for all. There are many people who could do with being reminded that until they have consent, they should keep their hands and other bits to themselves. crystal this.... " | |||

Of course there are but they also turn up in our homes. Most rapes also happen in a totally domestic setting by people known to each other. My point is that you can't make a generalisation that clubs would be worse than your home setting. We are engaged in something risky on all sorts of levels so we do what we can to mitigate that risk.

In this case it seems it wasn't safe for the woman in a swinging club and the staff couldn't help.

"I have read this thread with interest. It has been enlightening to learn from the views and experiences of others - some who are regular attendees at clubs and others not so. Firstly, I am delighted that an offender was prosecuted and convicted for a horrible offence. I hope the victim has access to the support available to her and she is able to once again enjoy life. No absolutely means no and there is no excuse for touching, ejaculating over or having sex with a woman without her consent - no matter what she is (or isn't wearing) or if she has been drinking. I am disappointed this happened in a club without anyone seeing the incident or intervening. Some of the comments made have, however, made me think that clubs need to have very clear guidance as to what is and is not acceptable. And rules need to be enforced. When couples or groups choose to play alone my understanding was the door is closed. Others don't enter and those in the room behave as consensual adults. In my experience, open rooms are there for others to go into and meet and play when asked. Sometimes couples or groups are already playing. For a guy I find it arousing to watch and I didn't know there was anything wrong with this. If they don't want to be watched why perform in public? I have seen lots of guys in towels masturbate while watching and being invited to join (even me). I have had ladies come and offer to play with me there and elsewhere as a consequence of me being in the room semi-naked and aroused. I am not suggesting that touching or cumming over someone without consent is in any way acceptable. It is unlawful. But, I am now wondering given the views of some ladies and couples about guys watching and wanking if single guys are expected to remain fully dressed until invited into a particular room for a particular purpose?" Agree mostly but a couple of points. You say 'I am disappointed this happened in a club without anyone seeing the incident or intervening.' which to me, and excuse me if I am reading this wrong, is partially blaming the club and other clients for not being aware of what was happening. Again, it's not their fault or their responsibility if a man sticks his dick inside a woman without consent. That is HIS actions and HIS alone. Secondly, you say 'clubs need to have very clear guidance as to what is and is not acceptable. And rules need to be enforced'. Rape is against the law. End of. There shouldn't be any need for this to be included in the club rules, same as no drugs, as it's already against the law. I don't know a club that doesn't have a sign or rule that says no means no. It's a sad sign of our society as a whole that people need a basic lesson in English before entering a club. I don't know any situation where no doesn't mean no (except for consensual non-consent). If I play in public, I am aware that people might watch. It's not them being naked that bothers me, it's when they start wanking which distracts me and can take away some of my enjoyment from whatever I'm doing. I did not consent to be someone's live wank fodder. crystal | |||

If I go into a private room, I expect it to be private (unless there's a viewing windows, camera, mirrors, etc). If I'm in an open play area, I would be a bit silly if I was to complain when people watched me. If, without my consent, someone starts to direct, heckle, name call or masturbate then I will stop play. Club AntiChrist has a no wanking rule. It still happens (is there anywhere that everyone abides by all the rules?!) bit it's reassuring to know that if I am in a scene in the dungeon with a friend I will not be distracted. crystal | |||

I've not experienced this in clubs with a no wanking rule. In a clubs without this rule, when asked, I've had a mixture of responses - men have rolled their eyes at me, tutted, commented 'what do I expect?' but they do stop. To me, these added comments and actions that some men make demonstrate a lack of understanding of the concept of consent which worried me as I wonder just how far that lack of understanding goes. I've had worse reactions from women. If I ask them to stop doing something, I've been laughed at, it's been turned into a joke or they've continued to do it. I've always had support off the staff and DMs when I've made them aware of what is happening. I feel for men who are groped by women without consent. I know a man who had a woman grab them between their legs just because they were wearing a kilt. He didn't know her, had never spoken to her and she wasn't part of the party we were with. It wasn't taken seriously by staff. If that situation was reversed and HE had grabbed HER between her legs just because she was in a skirt then it would have been a very different outcome. I think the men who did just stop wanking when asked did it more out of embarrassment more than understanding of why I don't want them wanking over me (that is only my perception - I realise that doesn't necessarily make it the truth). crystal | |||

That if people have sex in a public room then others would probably watch and even play too. Ok that obviously doesn't suit everybody just like anything in life we are all different, but it is certainly the impression I had as to what happens in clubs. To your other points of unwanted attention, touching anyone whatever sex they are without consent should be treated exactly the same, if women get away with it at clubs then it wouldn't surprise me that men think they can too | |||

"some men havnt got much self control a swingers club is the sort of place that would attract men like that. sometimes they get over excited and get rough and pushy they think because there are women who like it like that that everyone else does. mostly a man like that wouldn't care what the woman liked though as long as he was getting what he wanted. Do you attend cubs often that you come out with a statement like that? No not been to a club but have met a lot of men in my time. The same could be said for inviting strangers into your home for sex: you have given them an expectation of sex so if you change your mind because they want rough etc. then more fool you. That's not it at all. This all operates on mutual consent, wherever the sex takes place. No is no whatever the setting whether it is a woman or a man being the aggressor or the abused. Oh well more fool me I deserve all I get. I know what swingers clubs are supposed to be like but I think maybe people are being slightly nieve to think that you don't get some dodgy people going to them. How can you know what they are like if you have never been ?? " I've never been to a football match but I know some people that go are footie hooligans. Allsorts of people go to allsorts of places. No-one can seriously say that only 'fine, upstanding, respectful people' go to swingers clubs. | |||

Those that in my opinion (note 'my') that do appear to value the security of both the club itself AND it's clientele. They also tend to have CCTV covering the entrance. I'd be much happier knowing that a club was aware of who's in the premises both from a point of view of identifying individuals in cases of accusations of assault, but also in case of being able to proactively prevent offenders and rule breakers from re-visiting the club. It's hard to ban someone if you have no idea who they are. A | |||

"Db9 I perhaps go to clubs more than many... there have been incidents I can count on one hand, where I have felt uncomfortable.. that's in over 14 years of going to clubs... And bare in mind I go sometimes twice a week of not more... Now put that with the fact I go out down town not once a year for a night out yet can tell you many occasions that I have had men make me feel uncomfortable... Shows that on the whole men in swinging clubs are better behaved for the most than men who have been out on the town... Clubs aren't for everyone but the behaviour from most is exemplary... Yes you get the odd Muppet but you get them in all walks of life... The big difference for me is that others will step in... And it's classes as totally unacceptable " I totally agree. I only choose to meet in a club now. I feel safest their after having seen how the (very few) impolite people, male AND female are dealt with. I am shocked that this happened in a club, but applaud the victim for her bravery. I hope she can stay strong, not let this scumbag ruin her life | |||

"I have read this thread with interest. It has been enlightening to learn from the views and experiences of others - some who are regular attendees at clubs and others not so. Firstly, I am delighted that an offender was prosecuted and convicted for a horrible offence. I hope the victim has access to the support available to her and she is able to once again enjoy life. No absolutely means no and there is no excuse for touching, ejaculating over or having sex with a woman without her consent - no matter what she is (or isn't wearing) or if she has been drinking. I am disappointed this happened in a club without anyone seeing the incident or intervening. Some of the comments made have, however, made me think that clubs need to have very clear guidance as to what is and is not acceptable. And rules need to be enforced. When couples or groups choose to play alone my understanding was the door is closed. Others don't enter and those in the room behave as consensual adults. In my experience, open rooms are there for others to go into and meet and play when asked. Sometimes couples or groups are already playing. For a guy I find it arousing to watch and I didn't know there was anything wrong with this. If they don't want to be watched why perform in public? I have seen lots of guys in towels masturbate while watching and being invited to join (even me). I have had ladies come and offer to play with me there and elsewhere as a consequence of me being in the room semi-naked and aroused. I am not suggesting that touching or cumming over someone without consent is in any way acceptable. It is unlawful. But, I am now wondering given the views of some ladies and couples about guys watching and wanking if single guys are expected to remain fully dressed until invited into a particular room for a particular purpose? Agree mostly but a couple of points. You say 'I am disappointed this happened in a club without anyone seeing the incident or intervening.' which to me, and excuse me if I am reading this wrong, is partially blaming the club and other clients for not being aware of what was happening. Again, it's not their fault or their responsibility if a man sticks his dick inside a woman without consent. That is HIS actions and HIS alone. Secondly, you say 'clubs need to have very clear guidance as to what is and is not acceptable. And rules need to be enforced'. Rape is against the law. End of. There shouldn't be any need for this to be included in the club rules, same as no drugs, as it's already against the law. I don't know a club that doesn't have a sign or rule that says no means no. It's a sad sign of our society as a whole that people need a basic lesson in English before entering a club. I don't know any situation where no doesn't mean no (except for consensual non-consent).

That is fact. It would scare me if others watched someone penetrate a woman without her consent and do nothing or alert someone. I did not say there needs to be a rule about rape. That is a stupid suggestion Given that some folk want to play in public and not expect guys who are watching to wank as it upsets them. Then it sounds to me that you are looking for a rule like that. My view would be if you don't want folk to watch or get excited don't do it in public | |||

If they get excited, then again, that's something nobody can control but when they start to wank, heckle, direct or invade personal space then that's where it crosses the line for me. Just because I'm dressed (or undressed) a certain way or doing certain things I have not invited anyone to make themselves a part of it by wanking over it. I am much more comfortable playing in the open at events where there is a no wanking rule and I feel safer when I am being caned, whipped, flogged or humiliated (amongst other things that I will not mention here) in a monitored dungeon because there seems to be a higher level of etiquette observed there by both participants and observers. I do wonder why the BDSM scene appears to have so many more active female members attending clubs and events than I see at swingers clubs. I would love clubs to have stricter rules in place. I would love a no wanking rule, no entering a zone or area where someone is already playing unless verbally invited (of course the there would need to be an area without this rule as everyone plays differently), the only physical contact to be made to get someone's attention in open zones is the shoulder or below the knee until verbally invited otherwise, no directing unless in a directing area or verbally invited to do so, no disturbing play in progress (banging on locked doors, calling out for attention), the only people to disrupt play are staff or security. I realise these are only the things I would like to make me feel as comfortable as possible and recognise that everyone is different but maybe a more open discussion about rules and everyone's interpretation of them would ensure everyone is on the same page and when a boundary is overstepped, there are no surprises when that person is thrown out the door. crystal | |||

It's not them being naked that bothers me, it's when they start wanking which distracts me and can take away some of my enjoyment from whatever I'm doing. I did not consent to be someone's live wank fodder. crystal I think you have totally misunderstood me There is no denying this individual was to blame for his actions and his actions alone. That is fact. It would scare me if others watched someone penetrate a woman without her consent and do nothing or alert someone. I did not say there needs to be a rule about rape. That is a stupid suggestion Given that some folk want to play in public and not expect guys who are watching to wank as it upsets them. Then it sounds to me that you are looking for a rule like that. My view would be if you don't want folk to watch or get excited don't do it in public If I play in front of other people, I wouldn't be surprised if they watch. If they get excited, then again, that's something nobody can control but when they start to wank, heckle, direct or invade personal space then that's where it crosses the line for me. Just because I'm dressed (or undressed) a certain way or doing certain things I have not invited anyone to make themselves a part of it by wanking over it. I am much more comfortable playing in the open at events where there is a no wanking rule and I feel safer when I am being caned, whipped, flogged or humiliated (amongst other things that I will not mention here) in a monitored dungeon because there seems to be a higher level of etiquette observed there by both participants and observers. I do wonder why the BDSM scene appears to have so many more active female members attending clubs and events than I see at swingers clubs. I would love clubs to have stricter rules in place. I would love a no wanking rule, no entering a zone or area where someone is already playing unless verbally invited (of course the there would need to be an area without this rule as everyone plays differently), the only physical contact to be made to get someone's attention in open zones is the shoulder or below the knee until verbally invited otherwise, no directing unless in a directing area or verbally invited to do so, no disturbing play in progress (banging on locked doors, calling out for attention), the only people to disrupt play are staff or security. I realise these are only the things I would like to make me feel as comfortable as possible and recognise that everyone is different but maybe a more open discussion about rules and everyone's interpretation of them would ensure everyone is on the same page and when a boundary is overstepped, there are no surprises when that person is thrown out the door. crystal" | |||
