By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

Firstly yes, I enjoy watching porn, hence my encounters with such adverts.

Does anyone else find these affair sites utterly wretched, horrible little things? I mean, perhaps I'm being a little naïve here, but I was always taught that marriage constitutes a willing agreement, based upon love between a man and a woman, who have made the decision to spend their lives together, to honour and support one another, to maintain a bond of love and trust so they can build a better life together, possibly even raise a family, I was taught that marriage is a wonderful and beautiful thing, and even to my (sometimes excessively) analytical mind, it still is.

So why is it then, that not only do these sites exist, they actually portray marriage as some kind of bad, cloying little thing that you'll feel so much better for being rid of, you know, so you can feel sexy and ALIVE again, like lancing a nasty boil.

Didn't you enter into yours willingly, or your own volition? Didn't you look into your partners eyes, didn't you see love in there, didn't you feel it too when you said 'I do', and made that commitment to them?

There's nothing in there about only having sex with each other though.... maybe it's possible to have it all?

This site is a swinging site. Not specifically targeted at people wishing to cheat (there are such sites I am aware off). So this site will not ruin your marriage (should you have one). How you use this site may.

Personally we are not made to have sex with one person for the rest of our lives.

We set up home with our "mate".... Raise a family etc

But the sexual desire for others doesn't go away. And it's merely just that "sex".

If people talked more openly to one another about their needs/desires/fantasy, then maybe affairs would be a thing of the past?

But surely these kind of sites attract likeminded people. Noone else has to go on them.

When i got married i never promised to not have sex with anyone else. My husband once perfectly aware it was never going to be a monogamous relationship.

A marriage is far more complex than just loving someone.

It's a partnership than encompasses anything & everything including love / intimacy / sex / emotional need / financial / family / history to name a few. Sometimes one or more parts isn't being met for whatever reason but the overall relationship does work, hence why the need/s is met elsewhere.

Everyone is different & no two relationships are the same.

I find it easy to stay monogamous in a relationship.

Did all my shagging new people in my younger years and it has no appeal to me now.

But it has made me more choosey who I wish to settle into a relationship with though.

Sex isn't the top of my list what I want out of someone or life anymore.

Maybe I've turned into old fart.

But I'm a happy old fart

I just want to clarify before this thread continues that I was not referring to this site, the title refers to a statement I read on an affair sites advert - I hoped my use of inverted commas would have established that, apparently not.

And in order to give myself a 'clever' username, wouldn't I have required a certain degree of cleverness to conceive it?

The good thing about this site is, you don't have to be on it...look, swinging, bdsm whatever your kink is, it's an extension of your relationship and not the be all of it. Consensual adult agreement is the core of any relationship.

I guess if there was no demand then such sites wouldn't exist? I don't think sites destroy marriages - the parties within it do or one does, if it ends.

And people change, life changes. At 20 you might have thought it would be a forever thing but it didn't turn out that way.

I've never had an affair - even many years ago when I was unhappily married. But - I can understand how affairs happen. In my 20's I judged people badly for them - age has altered my views. Until you walk a mile in someone else's shoes / you don't really know why they are doing what they do.

I'm lucky that I've never been cheated on within a relationship, as far as I've known. If I'd ever been cheated on my view on affairs may be different.

Good things always rise from the bad. I joined the site going through a divorce and my first meet with a single lady turned out to change my life for the best. We have now been together almost 3 years and we couldn't be more suited. I really found my angel when I given up hope and stopped looking. The right person / love will find you where ever you are. Site like this made it possible to find that missing part to my heart. We still play and enjoy being naughty but my arms are wrapped around her every night. X

I agree that that the marketing is unsavoury and lacks taste but then at the same time many people are unsavoury and lack taste.

No I've never been married, I've never eaten a Kobe burger either but they do look nice.

If you read my statement about marriage again, you'll see I don't make any direct claims about it's perfection, only the ideal, and my disappointment in peoples so frequent inability (though I appreciate we're all fallible, I know this all too well myself) to work toward that ideal.

"Firstly yes, I enjoy watching porn, hence my encounters with such adverts.

Does anyone else find these affair sites utterly wretched, horrible little things? I mean, perhaps I'm being a little naïve here, but I was always taught that marriage constitutes a willing agreement, based upon love between a man and a woman, who have made the decision to spend their lives together, to honour and support one another, to maintain a bond of love and trust so they can build a better life together, possibly even raise a family, I was taught that marriage is a wonderful and beautiful thing, and even to my (sometimes excessively) analytical mind, it still is.

So why is it then, that not only do these sites exist, they actually portray marriage as some kind of bad, cloying little thing that you'll feel so much better for being rid of, you know, so you can feel sexy and ALIVE again, like lancing a nasty boil.

Didn't you enter into yours willingly, or your own volition? Didn't you look into your partners eyes, didn't you see love in there, didn't you feel it too when you said 'I do', and made that commitment to them?"

OP, I'm really not too sure what you are on about. Firstly Fab Swingers is not an 'affair' site, it's a swinging site. There are various definitions of swinging, but they tend to be along the lines of consenting couples looking for sexual experiences in addition to their marriage, usually by a partner swap, or by inviting an single person to join. An affair is when someone goes behind their partners back, and which is not the focus of this website.

With regards to your description of what marriage should be ie loving, honouring, supporting, maintaining a bond, building a life together, raising a family. Well, in what way do you feel consenting swinging couples don't achieve those values?

I think you've misunderstood this site if you feel the general ethos is to portray marriage as 'bad' and that 'you'll feel so much better for being rid of it'. In all our time on the swing scene, mixing with a variety of happily married couples I have never got the impression that Fab is portraying marriage negatively.

Finally, with regards to your last paragraph. Yes we did look into each other's eyes, yes we did see the love in there, and feel it when we said 'I do', and ,add that commitment. But what has that got to do with our mutual decision to explore our sexuality by involving other people?

If you personally think that swinging is unethical or immoral, you are very much entitled to your opinion - an opinion which is probably shared by the majority of non-swingers. But if that's the case, why on earth are you on this site?

We're pretty happy with our marriage. With have a full life, or which swinging is one of the things we enjoy.

Yes, I get your point but with all due respect I don't think you can't understand a marriage dynamic until you've lived it. Until you've eaten the Kobe burger it's all just an idea you have about its taste texture and how satisfying it is.

OP

…your comment got me thinking…although its on the topic of marriage…this touches IMHO on broader aspects of interpersonal behaviour in some societies.

One pivotal component of a successful marriage is an ability not just to love (as distinct from lust) but also an ability to BE loved. My personal observations leave me thinking that as a society we're becoming less able to do that & as a consequence relationships of any kind (including marriage) are becoming increasingly difficult.

p.s. I think you should have a daily column as you're observations are always thought provoking in a refreshing way

We have been part of the swinging lifestyle for 10 years now and after much consideration we decided that our marriage was strong, built on complete openness, trust, respect and empathy for each other; we had and continue to have a fantastic sex life and loving relationship and see this lifestyle as an extension to our relationship that we dip into as and when we choose. Over the 10 years our relationship has gone from strength to strength and swinging has been a part of that. We would never recommend anyone to start this lifestyle unless they have a strong relationship, with both partners being comfortable with the decision.

Really don't understand the affairs comment as swinging is about openness and therefore affairs shouldn't really be part of the lifestyle, although I appreciate that people will always abuse a situation if it suits their agenda. Therefore for me this or other swinging sites cannot be held responsible for the personal decisions of individuals who chose to use it inappropriately. There are affairs and sex sites available for such liaisons. Anyway a little waffle but hope the point came across. Have fun out there xxx

Op some marketing maybe tasteless encouragement to cheat. But i doubt anyone who wasny going to cheat anyway would do so based on a couple of adverts.

As for marriage being a happily ever after...no chance marriage is different for everyone. But id bet money for most its a commiment thats takes work, compromise and communication. Just like any relationship the vows dont entitle the rest of the world to judge all of a sudden. So they have vowed those things before the eyes of god. Marriages and people change.

A lack of affection and sex and expecting the other half to put up with it to me is breaking the love and cherish vow. No to have and to hold there...So why is that ok to break?

I say im married here cause its an easier definition of how i consider my relationship. But when i signed up for this relationship i did not agree kissing would stop or sex would be annually. I would be made to feel unattractive and rejected constantly etc.

Im not justifying cheating as i have permission but i still consider myself a cheat. I do however see it as one of many possible consequences for lack of a physical side to my relationship. And thr blame for that sits equally at my partners door as mine...

I think this is extremely well said. A lot of people forget that marriage is a two way process and are quick to hurl blame at the so called 'cheating' partner, when that partner may have been denied sex and affection, through no fault of their own. What is someone supposed to do in a sexless marriage - be celebate?

cheating in one form or another has been going on forever.... love before the internet, and i am it will continue on long after....

if people are wanting to cheat, they will find a way in one form or another.... so the sites may make it easier

the sites don't ruin marriages, the people do!!!! no one holds a gun to heads making then do it,

the same freedom the sites give, also give people the same free will to make decisions....

I'm not retreating behind anything, I'm simply saying if you've not experienced it you simply don't know. No amount of thought or introspection will inform you of how a marriage going bad feels. I'm not trying to insult your intelligence so please don't insult mine, I was using the Italy reference as an example as I'm sure you know.

I'm out of this discussion as you seem intent on insulting people's intelligence rather than discussing your topic

No one died from not having sex and apart from anything else if you are for e.g overworked, over busy , over stressed, under threat..... the feelings for sex are over ridden by simple survival.

Sex is often over ridden by hungers....

"Firstly yes, I enjoy watching porn, hence my encounters with such adverts.

Does anyone else find these affair sites utterly wretched, horrible little things? I mean, perhaps I'm being a little naïve here, but I was always taught that marriage constitutes a willing agreement, based upon love between a man and a woman, who have made the decision to spend their lives together, to honour and support one another, to maintain a bond of love and trust so they can build a better life together, possibly even raise a family, I was taught that marriage is a wonderful and beautiful thing, and even to my (sometimes excessively) analytical mind, it still is.

So why is it then, that not only do these sites exist, they actually portray marriage as some kind of bad, cloying little thing that you'll feel so much better for being rid of, you know, so you can feel sexy and ALIVE again, like lancing a nasty boil.

Didn't you enter into yours willingly, or your own volition? Didn't you look into your partners eyes, didn't you see love in there, didn't you feel it too when you said 'I do', and made that commitment to them?"

No maybe about it. It is a very 'naive' view about 'marriage'.

There are indeed greater needs than sex, and sex is not usually a desire when basic survival is at stake. But when life is comfortable and everybody is happy and healthy, the moral question is possible or reasonable to be celebate? Many can, but others do feel they 'need' sex, for want of a better word. Personally I don't think I could be celebate, however hard I tried, but I'm very lucky that I don't have to.

What a naïve and narrow minded view point.

My wife and I love each other, she is my soul mate, my friend, my lover, my world. She feels the same.

We both enjoy sex and treat each swinging session as pure physical enjoyment. Nothing else. We dont start getting luvy duvy with anyone, just enjoy the fun, release, orgasmic pleasure of sex. That's all.

To try blame a site for someone's failings is plain stupid and to try use some vow as a means to gloss over situations and circumstances you no nothing about and which may well have changed considerably is also plain stupid.

Peoples lives and decisions are their business and no one else's. People should keep their opinions to themselves!!!

Some people who get married are already sleeping with a third person, our future king being a prime example.

Marriage is essentially sentimental, romantic nonsense imho but many still believe it's giving their all and commitment to one person.

A good friend of mine has had numerous affairs over the years and to the outside world he's happily married.

He says the affairs actually save his marriage and his wife knows but just turns a blind eye.

Sites such as the OP means are simply catering for supply and demand. They don't encourage anybody to stray/cheat/wander whatever your description.

I thought this was a swingers site not an affair site.

Me and my partner use this site together as a couple. We made the decision together. We would never dream about playing with out each other. To us this site is sex toy. I trust him with all my heart and soul and I know he trusts me the same. We have every intention of spending rest of our lifes together. If at any point either of us didn't want to use this site any more then we would both stop using it totally and wouldn't look back. X

Have to be honest that I work closely with several religious groups including Buddhists and sex amoung other things is seen as a basic requirement but it's important not to indulge beyond base requirement, being celibate and moving away from physical needs is generally practiced it the monastics orders (like most religions). I think this is a good point and would make a great thread, but is best moved away from this one as its moving away from the OP. Nice to have lots of views out there though. Have fun xxx

So why is it then, that not only do these sites exist, they actually portray marriage as some kind of bad, cloying little thing that you'll feel so much better for being rid of, you know, so you can feel sexy and ALIVE again, like lancing a nasty boil.

Didn't you enter into yours willingly, or your own volition? Didn't you look into your partners eyes, didn't you see love in there, didn't you feel it too when you said 'I do', and made that commitment to them?

I thought this was a swingers site not an affair site.

Me and my partner use this site together as a couple. We made the decision together. We would never dream about playing with out each other. To us this site is sex toy. I trust him with all my heart and soul and I know he trusts me the same. We have every intention of spending rest of our lifes together. If at any point either of us didn't want to use this site any more then we would both stop using it totally and wouldn't look back. X"

"Personally we are not made to have sex with one person for the rest of our lives.

We set up home with our "mate".... Raise a family etc

But the sexual desire for others doesn't go away. And it's merely just that "sex".

If people talked more openly to one another about their needs/desires/fantasy, then maybe affairs would be a thing of the past?

Fully agree, monogamy doesn't work that's why so many people cheat. Sex and love are two different things.

Agreed. Just for once I'd like to log in to a porn site and get an advert for an ethical non-monogamy site, instead of the ones that seem to belittle commitment and tempt people into throwing it all away when they're horny.
