i was just wondering if any one else has this same issue.
i love sex (hence being on this site) but in my vanilla life i don't want people to know i swing as i don't want to get a bad reputation
does anyone else have the same issue as in my vanilla life im actually referred to as a prude!
which im soooo not its weird i guess the saying is true got to be a lady in the street and a whore in the bedroom  shame i can't get away with it a bit more in vanilla part of my life |

The main problem being words like 'whore' and 'slut' being attached to women who enjoy sex in the first place.
As long as there is that divide there will be the need to 'pretend' your a prude with no interest in sex in order to avoid judgement in your routine life. |

I dress conservatively in my vanilla life, and do not like to draw attention to my assets.
Some of those closest to me know what I get up to, in that I am not a true swinger as such, just a woman of a certain age with a liberal view towards sex, and have needs that cannot be satisfied by toys alone. Some of them know I frequent clubs such as Chams and they were encouraged to Google it in the privacy of their own homes.
I never give out the gory details of what I get up to, all it needs is a smile on my face when I stroll into work and my colleagues can guess the rest.
They see it as purely my own business, all they would say is "just be careful not to get hurt".

I (Lynne) am often called a prude!! For as long as I can remember friends and family have tried getting me to attend Anne Summers parties with no luck, hence the name calling of a prude. If only they knew lol.  |

Most of my work mates think i am a sarcastic bitch who dresses sexy occasionally and gets d*unk
three workmates know i swing and i trust then 110%
i dont care what people think of me and dont think of me no more im past the age of caring if someone thinks im fat or im gobby

We all spend all our lives being different people for the different people in our lives. My boss wants me to be dispassionate and clinical; other people want me to be dad, or brother or. My colleagues deserve my best advice and efforts, irrespective of whether I fancy them or am feeling horny today.
There's only a dissonance if, as you seem to be saying, there are roles you have to play ('prude') that you are uncomfortable with. How uncomfortable, and how much discomfort you're prepared to put up with to 'avoid getting a reputation', is up to you. if it's any comfort though, we've all been through this or something like it at some stage in our lives.

i think that adds to the excitment, never heard of the term vanilla being used that way, usually mean something else |

I don't think that I am one to discuss my swinging life to my work collegues I think that they would be mortified. I work in a sector where I work with vulernable adults and one where I could be questioned to whether I am going past any boundaries if that makes sense. As we know you can't get sacked for being a swinger but I think that if they were to find out my career would be dead in the water. |

I think a lot of us that enjoy the lifestyle have to be careful as the general public would not understand our life style choices. It must be even more difficult for people who work in certain professions where swinging could be seen as something weird. I'm thinking about anyone who works with children or vulnerable adults |

what way have you heard it used then?
a fair few of my friends know what i do and one of my sisters knows (not the youngest one, she may be 24 but in my eyes she is still 7  )
my mum thinks i am a prude but might have an inkling as she came into my flat while i was at work and there was an (unworn) pair of PVC knickers on the floor in the front room. i had taken delivery of a new dress and they came free, i quickly tried the dress on before work and forgot the knickers had dropped on the floor |

As someone said above, we all have many different identities that we play every day, mum, dad, sister, brother, colleague, boss, etc. Swinger is just another one of those identities.
I currently work in an environment where my being a swinger would not affect my career chances, it would illicit a lot of questions, and probably some derision from some of the younger, and older crowd I work with. And my customers would just assume I was easy. However, I am re-training, and it is likely the career I want to go in would view swinging very differently.

It dont make me feel a slag or whore as i like the people i meet and play with i just feel good .xx jo |

People think im a prude, because im quiet and shy, its just the way i have been brought up, my parents were quite old when they had me, also had much older sister and older brothers, not allowed to talk about sex, i would get told of for not doing up all the buttons on my blouse or for swearing and stuff. Im quiet because i have always been told to be quiet. |

K and I often wind my Parents up about our 'friends' only the other day I said I really need to find a woman to have some fun with, immediiate reaction from mother was 'do you really want to say goodbye to you masculinity' and I still get the lecture about being faithful to one woman lol Just as well I had a good clearout of the company car before it was returned though, found a couple of (unused) condoms under the seat, that would have raised a few eyebrows as at work I was also considered the male equivalent of a prude  |
