Sometimes people on here use the word 'play' when they're talking about sexual stuff. They call it 'play'.
Am I alone in thinking that doesn't sound right? Kids play. Whenever someone says 'play' in a sexual context it makes them sound like a kid and it has a turn off reaction for me..

There's 30 big blokes playing rugby right now. I don't see it as a childish word.

Rugby isn't sex though. I'm talking specifically when someone say it in relation to sexual stuff. |

^ This.
"Play" is used in all kinds of contexts. We "play" musical instruments.
It's like if you complained that it's weird cos it's too musical.
Kids also "scrap". But no one complains that "scrap paper" is too childish.
The English language is a versatile and diverse thing. |

Play, to me, describes more than just straight sex. I tend to do a lot of fetish 'play'. Sometimes it includes penetrative sex, sometimes not. It varies.
So yes, I see it as play.
Children play, certainly, but adults also play.
In fact I'm watching grown men chasing a funny shaped ball, playing, at the moment. Nobody would mistake them for children. At least not on the field, in the bar afterwards might be a different matter entirely. |

You're right.
But when kids play, they're not playing rugby either.
What's your point?
It's like if you said "Oooh, guys, y'know, I don't like that we say "sexy knickers", cos, y'know, kids wear knickers too... "

I use it...... Adult games ..... X
It's not child's play as we are all adults ....that is already established.
What is meant by the word "play"
Fun jest sport - provides amusement ... Arouses laughter and sex can certainly do that !!!
When someone says play an instrument do you think the same ??
Play a sport?
Play a game?
Sex is made up of Manoeuvers is it not?
To play is to be amorous .... it is used to flirt ......it is a dalliance ......it as a recreational activity AND there is the absence of serious intent by NSA ....
I understand your connotation of the word yet it is out of context within the environment as we are adults.
Even using the words "role play"
Can make sex easier or more fun for some ....
It's how we understand the meaning of the word and the environment ....
I LIVE AND LOVE TO PLAY XX

Some people keep bringing up 'playing' sports. We're not talking sports we're talking sexual things that kids don't do.
To the guy who mentioned rugby and not seeing kids play rugby. They played rugby when I was at school. Again rugby isn't a sexual activity it's a sport.
It's not something I'll lose sleep over lol I just think it sound too child-like to be attractive for me.
Each to their own though : ) |

I concur.
You can try and explain its use with the (mildly patronising) etymology of the verb "to play", but it still makes me want to mouthpuke. |

But you saying it's "childlike" shows you're only focusing on one aspect of its meaning. Why that particular meaning?
And why do you not also think that getting "dirty" when meaning sex is problematic, when kids get dirty too?
It seems you're picking one word, and choosing to focus on one contextual meaning, for no specific reason. |

Then by your own theory, it's not childish because it's something children don't do.
If I say 'sex' that means something reasonably specific, which might not actually describe well what might happen.
Kinky play is a better description. |

I didn't pick the word or the context. The word within and context picked me
It might be because I've not seen it used that way anywhere else except on here and another fetish social site so it stands out more. 'Dirty' I had heard of plenty of times in a sexual context so doesn't bother me.
Our brains do what they do and mine just reacts in an 'ughh' way when I see it lol |

We say " do you fancy going to play " as that's what we are doing ...

I think it may be just a few people, you included, who dislike the word..... whereas most of us can accept that the context of the sentence determines if it age appropriate. If you don't like it don't play with people who use it  |

Doesn't bother me that much like I said earlier in the thread. You seem to take it more serious than I do.
If you don't want to meet me because I don't like the word play in a sexual context then I'm ok with that.

But when other uses of the word play have been mentioned, you've said you don't consider it childish when it's something children don't do.
By that reasoning, sexual play isn't childish because children don't do it.
Do you want to address my point that the word can be used to describe sexual sessions that aren't necessarily well described by the term "sex"? |

Nope. It's not something that bothers me too much. That sounds different when someone says 'playing with myself'. That doesn't effect me.
I think it's a sub-conscious association thing and the fact I hadn't heard it before using this site and the other one which is quite recent. |

I watched Leicester City play Manchester City at football earlier, 3 - 1 to the Foxes. 
Earlier in the year I watched the Darts at the Lakeside and the announcer said before every match "Let's play Darts!"
I watched a band play musical instruments to make a song.
All of the above involved fully grown adults playing. |

Yeh this is a sexual based thread. Not sports or non-sexual stuff.
If you read the thread I'm talking within a sexual context only.

Also, OP, you say in your profile that you're looking for "a gal". An alternate spelling of the word "girl". Which is a young, pre-adult woman.
And your issue is the word "play"?! Lol
Maybe stop infantising women first? |

In a sexual context it sounds disgusting. Vaginas are soft and sexy. Cunt doesn't sound soft or sexy. May as well start calling vaginas Gravel or Grit. It sounds to hard and harsh for a sexual name for a womans pussy. |

It's all within context. Gal was meant to be light hearted. I'd change it to woman but it won't lead to umpteen messages so it's no big deal. |

No that wouldn't turn me off because I've heard that before. It's probably just because it's not something I've heard much in a sexual context. It must be a fetish scene thing.. |

That seems like a strange reaction to me but if it does not gel with you, fine.
"Play" to me just sounds like a bit of fun sex. |

"girl" has much fewer non-child-like meanings than "play". But you decide to hone in on the one contextual definition of "play" as being childlike, but "girl" doesn't strike you as problematically childlike.
Makes sense. |

I don't use girl often and I used Gal not girl. Again it's within context.
Using play in a sexual context is completely fine but not something I find attractive. |

I think this has gone slightly off track, some will consider girls (gals) to be immature as opposed to ladies, women, or females for instance, boys as opposed to lads, men, gents?
Who knows, it matters little to me as long as I'm not classified as a wooly wooftah  |

Gal comes from "girl". It has no other meaning.
And you say it in your profile text, actually.
And I love all the backpedaling that's going on here. It's gone from "not right" to "completely fine". Lol!! |

It's your head that is doing that to you not the actual word......
Agreed  : )"
Play is quite common with kink. I always use play but then try to modify it when on swinging scene.
Got no issue with the word and will quite often say 'Let's play' or 'Play with me please.' And that can mean anything from fet stuff to sex. |

"I think swingers know 'play' means 'sex' and not marbles or Xbox
Can you play marbles with your feet
No, but I bet I could wank a cock with them.
Now that's a bit straight to the point Steve, can't we at least "play" footsie under the table first
Nah - get ya kit off.
Crikey, you know how to "play" with my emotions, ya told me to fuck off 3 years ago
I was straight then. "
Do I at least get some credit for making you bi playful, or does that go to Gentleman Ben  |

"Lots of people use the word girl to talk about women. I don't use it much tbh, I usually say woman or women or ladies etc...I took a walk on the wild side with my profile header thing.
So girl is okay to use but play isn't? Sounds reasonable
I didn't say play wasn't ok to use. Just that it sounds child-like to me.
Whereas girl actually does refer to a female child but is not child-like?
"girl" has much fewer non-child-like meanings than "play". But you decide to hone in on the one contextual definition of "play" as being childlike, but "girl" doesn't strike you as problematically childlike.
Makes sense.
I never said it made sense.
Again though, I don't use girl. I say woman, women or ladies etc...
Also I didn't use 'girl' in my profile header. I used Gal.
Gal comes from "girl". It has no other meaning.
And you say it in your profile text, actually.
And I love all the backpedaling that's going on here. It's gone from "not right" to "completely fine". Lol!! "
No your misunderstanding. I said it doesn't sound right to me. I didn't say it's not ok to say.
Just like Gal is ok to say. |

It seems to me that the OP has an opinion on the word Play that is neither right or wrong. Just how it seems to him.
It doesn't have any bad conations with it for me. But there are words used on here that make me feel horrible.
It's not wrong, just how they affect me. |

Woah, let's not start with the accusations of misunderstanding. My understanding of the English language is perfectly fine thank you. Maybe it's time to take some responsibility for the words that you type.
The entirety of your efforts and attitude so far does not suggest you think it's OK to say. In fact, you've said it "doesn't sound right", that it's a "turn off", and the fact that you so persistently try to prove your point suggests that you do not think it's OK at all. |

It's when I go to "Who Looked At Me" that gets me. So many men's profiles stating "Looking 4 Cock Fun/Bum Fun".
Ah yes, the craze that's sweeping the nation.
"EXCUSE ME, SIR, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAVE A MOMENT TO TALK ABOUT BUM FUN!" |

I find people that jump on what is said, rather than what is meant, to be tedious.
Putting aside that the word 'play' means far more than child's play... what's wrong with adults playing grown up games anyway? Seems like the point of being here to me. |

Speaking English mean nothing. If I say 'God' that can mean different things to different people. A lot of language is subject to interpretation. Just like your interpretation that I think it's not ok.
I do think it's ok. Just not to my taste. |

You've literally just proved the argument against your own perception of the word "play". Lol.
Well, I'm glad we got that sorted out. Lol

"There's 30 big blokes playing rugby right now. I don't see it as a childish word.
I like playing
^ This.
"Play" is used in all kinds of contexts. We "play" musical instruments.
It's like if you complained that it's weird cos it's too musical.
Kids also "scrap". But no one complains that "scrap paper" is too childish.
The English language is a versatile and diverse thing.
Yeh kids play instruments.
I'm talking purely sexual context though. Kids don't do that..."
loads kids have sex, why do you think so many underage mothers |

This thread strikes me as being a bit like when people say 'I don't like it when people shave because it reminds me of pre-pubescent children'.

I quite like the term play in relation to swinging. It describes swinging sex perfectly for me; play, just fooling, messing around, unimportant, the opposite of deep, meaningful, loving sex.
It's a widely used term in the swinging scene too, ie playrooms in clubs. It also sounds much more pleasant and easier to ask someone if they want to play, rather than say shall we go and have sex which sounds too blunt. |

I disagree
kids have sex to, lots underage kids have sex
on this site every is allegedly over 18, so when play is used it means adult play, that is context it is meant in.

I have no issues with the use of the word play. This means to me that everyone has enjoyed them selves fully or will enjoy them selves when its used in context. It's indication if fun between friends. But we all have a likes and dislikes at the end of the day. |

I used it this afternoon and had similar thoughts to the op, except I thought of a few of us in a bouncy castle, or messing around.
Play is an established word for sex, so there's no issue and it's not connected to no adult. Relax. |

You may be over thinking it.
Adults play games. Using play as a term used to describe sexual activities is I think, a way to make distinction between making love and having fun with someone none romantically. |

A Finnish lady once said to me "sex is just adults playing".

I suppose some words do have a different perspective than others ...
I personally like the word " play"
To me it means they person I'm meeting
would like to explore my body and what switches me on, and would be happy for
me to explore them...
Personally I hate the word " shag" to me it means the guy want to stick his dick in me and rut on me until he has cum. ..

Absolutely
Anyone who seriously thinks of children when the word play comes up In the context of swinging needs to take a long hard look at themselves .
Absolutely ridiculous to associate the word in this context |

I should take a long hard look at myself because I think it sounds childish? This is a non-serious thread which I posted because I was bored and wanted to post a thread so thought I'd see what others think of the word play in a sexual context as I don't like it. Others do and that's cool because it's not important.
I have other important things to think about rather than having a long hard look at myself over something that isn't important at all.

It's of no importance to me whether you take any notice or not .

Take any notice of the fact that the word play is very common in the swinging lifestyle .
I get the fact that you were bored , but having been actively involved in the swinging lifestyle for 5 years , I have yet to encounter anyone who finds the word play childish .

I didn't get weirded out but I was a bit at first. With that and "meet" which in my youth was slang for a bit of snogging behind the sports hall
Every hobby has words or sayings which make sense in context but which outsiders may find odd/amusing.. I often find myself asking if someone fancies a blow in my other hobby |
