Men, but not women?

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

So a while ago I met up with a man (who is no longer on fab and is ‘behaving’) who I already knew in the vanilla world. Had known him for years but we weren’t friends or anything.

We met up a few times and one night we went for a drive. He had already told me his ex wife kicked him out for cheating - I just didn’t realise the extent of it.

Won’t go into details but basically, while I was sat in his car, he moaned about his girlfriend (oh, I didn’t know she existed!) and how she’s so moody, fair enough considering she’s due his baby in three weeks (baby is a few months old now).

So, trying to be the understanding, lovely gal that I am, I didn’t freak out (although I did demand he took me home), and instead asked him a tone of questions.

One of them being, would he ever consider swinging with his partner, if she wanted it? Nope! He would consider it, but only if she slept with women, and he could watch and join in. But he could sleep with whoever he wanted, of course.

I asked why, and he said that he wasn’t secure enough to ‘allow’ her to sleep with other men.

Now, I’ve spoken to a few men (granted, not the regular male formites) who have said pretty much the same thing.

Why are other men considered a threat, but not women?

But because most women might sleep with a lady but never have a relationship with 1.

Hence they don't fear losing their wife/gf to another woman but possibly to another man.

I'd hazard a guess that the guys who are most paranoid about this (leaving aside the vast swathe of perfectly normal vanilla guys who'd spit their tea out if you asked if you could fuck another guy)... are those who are insecure that all they bring to their relationship is their cock and that another guy with a bigger cock could easily lure their woman away.

I guess at its basis men worry that their women are as promiscuous minded as them. Why? Because they're pretty fucking promiscuous minded haha

My husband and I had this discussion the other day. We're both totally open (however I don't meet a lot of men because I prefer me some lady time

)

We've been together forever and there is so much more to our relationship than sex. We're best friends and, at the risk of sounding stupidly cheesey, total soul mates.

We have amazing sex but aren't we all here just to have a good time? Does that mean we shouldn't have amazing sex with other people? At least enjoy a fucking rather than life giving us one haha.

Depending on how you look at it it's either a very low opinion of women (they're only in it for the cock, they don't really value the guy as a person, and they'd easily jump ship and be disloyal)... or it's a damming indictment of how the man himself thinks and his nervousness that women think the same

Coming from a Polyamorous background it's a very odd position. The idea that I'd be allowed to sleep with whoever, but limit that freedom in my partner is pretty much anathema to me.

I guess people aren't quite as confident in themselves or relationships as they should be before entering such an arrangement.

Having said that, as long as everyone in the relationship is happy and getting their needs met that's the important thing.

I’m guessing women aren’t a direct comparator to them, so a woman won’t necessarily be more muscly, more toned, have a better cock, last longer and fuck better on a like for like basis than another guy would.

Maybe that’s part of it? I dunno? Not wanting to look inadequate versus the other guy? (Although I also know some other guys LOVE the idea of their Mrs being nailed by a ‘better’ alpha male, so it’s swings and roundabouts I guess?)

It’s obvious that most men wouldn’t think a female partner may leave him for a woman . If he thought she might as her leaning wasn’t more towards women than men , I doubt he would be with her in the first place .

Well at least that’s how I see it , and I would guess most men would think the same way . But then again with the current thinking in society , and people identifying from 64 different gender types , the younger generation may see things differently .

Having said that , he didn’t , and I’m guessing he’s younger ?

We’ve played with single guys who have had sex with L but have said they could never share if they had their own partner. Not sure if it’s insecurity or if they can’t handle the jealousy.

We like to think a man has to be mentally strong and confident to share their partner which is counterintuitive to what most people would think.

Probably works the opposite way though and the woman will be saying to herself she can have as much cock as she likes an not only does her husband/bf let her he actually enjoys it.

I think that there's more stigma attached to a guys sexual prowess than there is on women.

Hence if a guy lets another guy play with his partner there's more insecurity involved regarding the other guy being "better" than him.

Whole number of reasons, but selfish men like that are also too arrogant to realise a woman could just replace them as easily as a guy, and also their cocks are telling them it's worth the risk as they might get ffm or extra fanny. Bizarrely quite a few men don't even count woman on woman as cheating, lol. And even more will allow their woman to have sex with another woman, obviously for the guys benefit, but not men. They aren't swingers their selfish picks.

We’ve seen couples like that where the guy can’t handle swapping MFMF but he wants FFM.

Also if you are worried about your partner running off with someone after a shag then your relationship can’t but that strong and you shouldn’t be on a swinging site.

Can I put a different slant on this.

Why is it seen bi( intended/) a bi women or curious,having sex with another female( curious or other) ok,but generally somewhat strange or a variety of other more offensive terms,used/ seen if a male is bi curious or actively sexual ,aligned with the previous post ,why so many men like there female halves to romp with other females,when we know so many guys love the idea( but many not the reality!) of them enjoying another male giving there wife etc a good s*****g indeed it is " cake& eat it" also fear that somehow there lose there partners over a good settion /s( isn't that the idea of a swinging site or does this not reek of double standards in more that two ways?? Maybe there's two ( two seems a popular number?) suggestions- either fully accept it works bothways& that means,bi male or female is mutually "equality" & face up to it,or consider also accepting your not monogamous,preferring a serious open relationship& or thirdly there's no mutual respect for eachother,commonly called( having a choice & considering all possibilities before venturing into sex with another,its hardly rocket science that males far outweigh the females,as they mostly?( males) in the modern world of equality& diversity appear to think its they who dictate, written bi a male who also understands many males openly& secretly agree with myself,site admin take note? There is no option for " open-minded or flexible in gender ,its one specification only,or lengthy profiles& misunderstandings ( curiosity is just edging / grey area,same for females who maybe unsure to of course if they find they exp a bi sexual foray pleasurably supprises them beyond there expected society "norms" how awful?

Just an option to a black or white tick box ( straight or bi- sexual or curious?) why not an " open mind or " no answer"? Blank box??Ps there is tv/ ts& a few others,but not your 64,so why not just straight or other?

That is called being a c*nt and wanting to have your cake and eat it. Men seeing two women together is a fairly common fantasy plus it means he gets to play with and fuck any women they meet together but means he doesn’t have to ‘allow’ ‘his’ woman to play or have sex with other men.x

I think I'd probably feel more threatened by another woman than another guy tbh.

I mean sure - I'm not that tall, or toned and I certainly don't have a stunt cock, but I reckon pit me against other guys and in the grand scheme of things I'm probably in the "not that bad" category...

But head-to-head against a girl, I'm not sure I fancy my chances...plus can you imagine the sort of hang-ups you could develop..."so bad you put her off men dude!"

We met up a few times and one night we went for a drive. He had already told me his ex wife kicked him out for cheating - I just didn’t realise the extent of it.

So, trying to be the understanding, lovely gal that I am, I didn’t freak out (although I did demand he took me home), and instead asked him a tone of questions.

I asked why, and he said that he wasn’t secure enough to ‘allow’ her to sleep with other men.

Now, I’ve spoken to a few men (granted, not the regular male formites) who have said pretty much the same thing.

Why are other men considered a threat, but not women?

It completely the wrong way round as well and shows how delusional most men are.

Two women will leave one man in a crumpled mess and still be looking for more. Two men will be able to keep up with one woman, just, and everyone will be satisfied.

From a married couples point of few and from a couple that swing I think this blokes outlook on it is so WRONG! To be fair I’ve seen it on more than my fair share of couples profiles on here. The couple only looking for unicorns! We don’t exist, we are not here to put on a show to turn your hubby/boyfriend, fuck buddy on. I’m here because I want to genuinely have sex with another woman. This is why I prefer single women rather than couples.

For me, who my other half plays with is a control thing

I like to know

We play together and apart

I am not controlling, but I like to be in control (if that makes sense)

and it's also a jealousy / selfish thing

I don't mind him playing on his own as long as I don't fancy the 3rd party and am excluded from the play

So I like to see who he's meeting and say yes you can or no you can't

put like that, maybe I am controlling

Either way, the way we play works for both of us

My opinion is that the type of man in your OP only sees other men as a threat, someone to compete with, and see women as lesser people.

She isn't even allowed to control her own sexualiy. By lying to her and doing things behind her back they aren't even in a relationship because he's actig like he's single and doing whatever he wants.

He's just garbage. Plenty of men are like him.

I think it’s insecurity, not being able to trust their partner because they know they aren’t trustworthy themselves, and also a sense of control.

It’s incredibly selfish to be okay with your partner sleeping with a woman, but not a woman.

I think it’s also about men feeling inadequate. If they were comfortable in their relationship and were 100% comfortable with swinging, there wouldn’t be an issue.

Those who are comfortable 100% don’t have such selfish rules I’m guessing.

I know SoulfulKinky will love this answer but we can explain this trait in terms of evolutionary psychology. Men and women have different risks and rewards from sex. For example, there are something like 5x more males that have exited the gene pool altogether for every 1 female who has.

The biggest risk to a man's genes is paternity fraud. Exchanging his resources for a baby without his genes. There's really no such thing as maternity fraud on any scale so womens concern is about being abandoned as soon as the sex is over. Gather resources with a infant is pretty difficult.

Therefore, it has never been in men's interest to share women sexually, but sometimes it has been better for a woman to allow her mating partner to have multiple sexy time partners, assuming he has to resources for all of them.

So it's all very well saying the men are pathetic, selfish etc, but it's mainly genetic. The average male brain hasn't really adapted to the changes in environment driven by the birth control revolution. Mine has because I'm an advanced human t-3000 model and that's why we swing and I love it.

Essentially, if you believe in evolution, there's no way for male indifference to paternity to evolve. It's impossible. So really, just ask yourself which is more likely in history - the mother or the father is uncertain. The rest follows from that...

But, before the days of paternity tests if a woman fucked loads of guys then potentially all those men might think that baby is theirs and so not kill it.

Some types of monkeys already do this, the females are promiscuous so that the males do not kill their babies because there's a chance that the baby might be theirs, and they do it sneakily behind the males backs so none of them know what they are up to.

He was indeed. She also warned the new girlfriend what had happened (she caught him on FaceTime to his ‘side piece’ while up in the night feeding their newborn) when she got pregnant with his child. A friendly warning, as they get on great (which is very very big and amazing of ex wife).

Men can have insecurities, it’s when you put them onto someone else that it’s a problem.

This thread wasn’t intended to be ‘male bashing’. There’s been very interesting responses (I agree with quite a few). Like I said in the OP, I have spoken to a few men who wouldn’t want their partner sleeping with another man, but a woman would be fine. Not all men are like this. As I’m well aware, as I’m sure everyone else is.

I just wanted to know why some men don’t see other women as a threat.

I had a conversation at work today and a man was telling me his ‘cow’ of an ex wife cheated on him with her best friend, and it made him feel disgusted because ‘it wasn’t even with a dude’. Which reminded me of the chap I met....

Just not true I'm afraid. Just a nice myth spread by a fraud of a book called "sex at dawn" which has been debunked. It turns out the men would rather kill a baby that they thought might not be theirs, than risk raising one that still could be - but they aren't sure

"Well use your pedantry to read it again.

It's a point general intolerance, why can't some men just be allowed to have their insecurities?

It's up to a couple how they mutually decide to do things.

Men can have insecurities, it’s when you put them onto someone else that it’s a problem.

You can’t see anything wrong with a man wanting to fuck all and sundry but not agreeing to his partner doing the same? Insecurity or not, it’s twat behaviour. "

Yeah and she can agree to it or not. That's partnership.

Partnership isn’t forcing your insecurities onto someone else.

If you’re going to do something, be prepared that your loved one might go and do the same. Can’t stand it? Don’t do it yourself.

Just to annoy you...plenty of species the male shoots his load and that's his job done, paternity is irrelevant, the female raises the offspring exclusively. "

True but you won't find 9 month gestation periods and offspring that need 7

years parental supervision to have any chance of survival, in those species. Or 7 billion of them on the planet.

I heard about it from Dr Robert Kapolsky during one of his lectures on molecular biology and not from a book about sex.

Well there's a nice evolutionary theory around that too. Not as clear cut as the previous one. But humans have never really been monogamous. So you get different mating strategies to deal with that reality. You can possessively guard the female and that can work. Or you can simply fuck her harder and get his spunk out and yours in, that can also work. I'm guessing my ancestors liked sloppy seconds.

If you want to know how natural selection can work, then any species is interesting. But you'll see very different behaviour from the same species in different environments. Hence why 'sex at dawn' is a load of shit, because they cherry picked the behaviour of bonobos in one specific setting and completely ignored all the others.

I haven’t been offended...but then again, I’m secure in my marriage and don’t see anyone as a ‘threat’

The guy QL met was a serial cheat, he moaned and moaned to her about how hard it is having to keep his cheating from his heavily pregnant girlfriend, oh how life is so cruel to him!

All QL asked is why some insecure men feel men fucking their partners are a threat, but women aren’t. Women are sexier than men, surely women are more likely to be the threat? So soft, lovely, beautiful...

Nothing wrong with being insecure. Nothing at all. I’m sure everyone is insecure about at least one thing or another.

What is silly, and makes them ‘little boys’ is cheating on their partners continuously, and then wanting to control who they sleep with, and ‘allowing’ your partner to sleep with another woman, purely so it could benefit you. It’s not fair to project your insecurities on to other people (yes, his partner wouldn’t have to agree, but he’s still going behind her back).

"So a while ago I met up with a man (who is no longer on fab and is ‘behaving’) who I already knew in the vanilla world. Had known him for years but we weren’t friends or anything.

We met up a few times and one night we went for a drive. He had already told me his ex wife kicked him out for cheating - I just didn’t realise the extent of it.

So, trying to be the understanding, lovely gal that I am, I didn’t freak out (although I did demand he took me home), and instead asked him a tone of questions.

I asked why, and he said that he wasn’t secure enough to ‘allow’ her to sleep with other men.

Now, I’ve spoken to a few men (granted, not the regular male formites) who have said pretty much the same thing.

Why are other men considered a threat, but not women?"

Because most of us including myself are jealous insecure creatures who don't like sharing but are happy to play with others its just pure jealousy I think and we don't want to do it .but if others are willing share then good on them but some of us couldn't we can't all be the same I guess

Because that is how the conversation came about when he told me he would only ‘allow’ his partner to sleep with other women, and only if he could watch and join it. Back story.

And conversations evolve. Some people will discuss their experiences (such as I have with one man) and others will share their opinions, and views.
