"I'd watch for a while then ask if i can join in Nobody bats an eye lid at two women playing in club's on a none bi night so why do so many make such a fuss over two guys I've seen it a few times where guys have been having oral together and people have made a fuss, always makes me laugh when it's a guy complaining about two guys together while his wife's chowing down on another woman's muff " This made my smile. | |||

"I (Ali) wouldn't have an issue with it. What I loved about clubs when I first joined the scene (and probably one of the main reasons I/we continue to visit) is that people can go and be themselves...escape from the conformity of life. I've seen activity that I don't find appealing but I just keep on walking. I certainly don't find it insulting. Each to their own and all that. Although, that said, I've never seen any MM play, even on the odd occasion I've visited on 'bi' night. Ali x" | |||

"How would you feel if you were at a normal swingers club, say on a standard Saturday night for couples and single women, and two guys were playing and fucking in a prominent and visible place within the club? I know it's not something that happens often (at all?) but I'm wondering if that's because the atmosphere is particularly homophobic at most clubs, or if it's just because not that many bisexual men go to them?" OurPlace4Fun is straight-centric, but did see a guy take over a blowjob from his girlfriend in the grope cage one night and the guy receiving either didn't know or care. Later in the night, I'm watching the same couple shagging and the guy next to me asks "is he gay?". Now I know you can't always tell these days or rely on the stereotypes, but if you can't figure out if a guy's into girls when he's balls deep in one... Made me chuckle. | |||

"We were having an mmf in a locked room with a window at a club. And when the guys were giving each other oral people kept banging on the window for us to stop. We haven't been back since . We never made them watch " If that had been me the whole club would have heard my reaction | |||

"I think it's a big leap to say there is a homophobic atmosphere. I'm not homophobic and have no problem with gay men at all. But I don't want to see them fucking each other. MrB" Would you have a problem with it though? Or would you just watch something else? | |||

It wasn't a big club but is well known | |||

MrB Would you have a problem with it though? Or would you just watch something else?" Depends what you mean by problem with it. Obviously gay men have sex with each other and that's fine. I wouldn't want to play in an open room where they were having sex because I would see it and find it off-putting. So, if there wasn't another room it might be a practical problem. | |||

"Am straight so woudnt like that." My wife's straight. She loves me in make mode getting it on with a hot guy. Bit like the way so many straight guys enjoy watching girl on girl. | |||

"I wish more men felt comfortable to express their sexuality in swinging clubs. It's a club for sexual adventures and swinging, that should not include man on man play. I think it's ridiculous to try and exclude them. It certainly wouldn't spoil the atmosphere if people didn't look. As someone else mentioned, i don't like watching large people or folks of a certain age having sex. I just choose to focus on those who I do like watching. I don't make a big deal about it. Eve. X" Great pics Gotham would love play with both of you | |||

"I (mr) honestly don't know if I'd be amused by the oddity of it or physically revulsed. Probably the former but sexual preferences can be embarrassingly politically incorrect so I wouldn't be surprised if it was the latter. Either way I wouldn't complain... But I may want to scrub my eyes out with Cilit Bang " very honest reply. To be fair I would be asking to borrow the eye bleach as its not something Id want to see but would just move along. But if it happened in a room next to us we would go elsewhere. And it would totally turn me off Cali | |||

The post only says it's ok not to like homosexuality. It goes no further and as a statement actually your comment demonstrates intolerance. People have a right not to like Homosexually and avoid it if they wish. Just as Homosexual people have a right to be homosexual. That's the nature of equality. If you don't mind us saying, insisting someone likes something seems a little bit bigoted. | |||

"Thanks for all the thoughts guys. One of my partners and myself have been invited to a regular swinging club on a Saturday night (something that we generally avoid) with the express intention of the guys playing together. Just thought I'd feel out how others felt about it. I'm a little saddened that some people responded to a perfectly normal sexual act with 'I'd need eye bleach', but I guess that's the kind of attitudes that you just have to try and ignore. I'm not sure I could ignore it personally (I'd just feel unwelcome), but my partner seems more comfortable with the idea." I am saddened too,especially as it's 2017 and this is a so called sexually liberated site.. I can understand why gay people often treat themselves (and others) badly, sometimes the self loathing results in suicide and often leads to a higher Risk of alcoholism and other fatal addictions. | |||

"Ive never been to a club so excuse my ignorance. But dont they have seperate Heterosexual nights and Gay/Bi nights ? If thats the case then surely there shouldnt be a problem? Just choose which nights are applicable to your sexuality and go to those nights then nobody is going to have any problems are they ??" Well, that doesn't work if you want to go out on a Saturday night. Or if you want one that's busy. Or if you don't want single men. Or just because you don't want to be made to hide your sexuality away on a weekday night. Or for many other reasons. Besides, there is *lots* of lesbian activity on 'straight' nights, so when clubs start banning that, we can talk. | |||

"As a bisexual...I genuinely think that people on the LGBT spectrum need to stop thinking they can impose their attitudes towards sex onto others. People get uncomfortable by homosexual acts...could much of that be based on sexual insecurity or unsubstantiated fear of gay/bisexual men? Maybe...but still, swinging doesnt suddenly mean everyone has to be okay with everything you do...same way its not free reign for men to demand sex from any and all women. I would instead opt (and would actually prefer) going to nights designated for bi swingers/couples...I wont sit there and demand that those which do not cater to my needs start changing to suit my own sensibilities. Watching two men fuck would be hot, very hot...but its not for everyone and I would never demand people like it because I am some delusional liberal with a peculiar idea of what "tolerance" is.

Sorry, but I call it how I see it. As stated, you're forcing your own sensibilities onto others. If you dont want to use the sexual aggression analogy you can use the bareback one. People get highly uncomfortable with people playing without condoms and often its heavily discouraged in many venues...what now? Do we now call those who dont wish to have bareback sex bigoted for not doing so? In the same way could I sit and call someone who isnt black a bigot for not wishing to have sex when I asked? People feel uncomfortable with homosexual activity for a number of reason, yes, many of them are based on prejudices but even then I dont stomp my foot and demand them be okay with what I am saying. There are PLENTY of venues which encourage homosexual sex...saunas, mens clubs and even swingers club nights targeted toward bisexual and homosexual couples. What you're really doing is a passive aggressive indoctrination tactic. People will grow comfortable with homosexuality in their own time...we can most certainly legislate against those who want to discriminate against LGBT people but we cant now start demanding activities are tailored to shove the sexual behaviors of a small demographic onto everyone else. | |||

"I would give you free rein to behave as you wished with those who consented be they male or female. " Really? You would? I do find it interesting how pervading attitudes suddenly shift among those who wanna be politically correct and "right on". Lets not pretend as if plenty of people dont have a serious problem with the way consenting adults allow some swingers to treat them. | |||

"Do we now call those who dont wish to have bareback sex bigoted for not doing so? In the same way could I sit and call someone who isnt black a bigot for not wishing to have sex when I asked?" Bareback sex is a choice. Sexuality is not a choice. "People feel uncomfortable with homosexual activity for a number of reason, yes, many of them are based on prejudices but even then I dont stomp my foot and demand them be okay with what I am saying." You know, I don't agree with this at all. Imagine if someone started stomping their foot because a black woman was playing with a white man. I'm entirely sure that they'd be thrown out of the club for such a blatant display of racism. At least I *hope* they would be thrown out of the club for racism. I expect the same attitude from clubs for sexuality. "There are PLENTY of venues which encourage homosexual sex...saunas, mens clubs and even swingers club nights targeted toward bisexual and homosexual couples." Except there aren't. Actually. Saunas and mens clubs do not generally allow women in. They don't usually even allow transmen in. A small handful occasionally have 'bisexual' nights where women are tolerated. And swingers clubs only provide 'bisexual' nights on weeknights, which aren't practical for many people. "What you're really doing is a passive aggressive indoctrination tactic." I disagree. I'm not trying to make anyone gay or bisexual. I'm just hoping that people will 'live and let live' in a place that is supposed to be all about sexual openness. "People will grow comfortable with homosexuality in their own time...we can most certainly legislate against those who want to discriminate against LGBT people but we cant now start demanding activities are tailored to shove the sexual behaviors of a small demographic onto everyone else. " People will indeed grow comfortable with homosexuality in their own time. However, that time is not coming soon enough for many of us that aren't straight. If I hear about a man hitting a woman, I don't just laugh and go 'oh well, he's just a bit old fashioned, he'll come around to gender equality in his own time'. We don't go 'oh those American slave owners, we'll let them come around to the idea that black people are human in their own time.' We say 'no, your behaviour isn't acceptable. If you don't want to treat humans like humans, then you are not welcome in this part of society'. And I hope that swingers would do the same. I would hope that people who are homophobic would just avert their eyes and not join in, rather than try to prevent something that isn't harming them in any way at all. | |||

I would hope that people who are homophobic would just avert their eyes and not join in, rather than try to prevent something that isn't harming them in any way at all." Firstly, choosing to have sex with another man in public is INDEED a choice. Secondly, yes, a man can indeed not want to see interracial sex in a club...problem is he likely will only end up alienating himself as negative feelings towards it doesnt seem to invoke anywhere near the level of discomfort than homosexual sex does. I mean, people can avert their eyes...but there is still a lot of general anxiety around the safety involved with gay anal sex. Your comparisons to the jim crow era and physical abuse are very false equivalences and dont apply here...entirely because both are criminal acts and, even then, I indeed cant force people to be comfortable with black people or having sex with them...hence why I dont trot to every person who writes "no blacks/asians" and demand they justify their leanings. As said, I think this passive aggression is becoming more and more visible from the more politicized elements of the LGBT lobby. You say neither gay saunas or clubs allow women and heterosexual targeted clubs are not particularly fond of it either. Sounds to me that the market simply lacks a demand for your particular fetish/desire and you want to pass it off as a civil rights issue. Dont do that, its so incredibly entitled and post-modern. You're not discriminatd against for the fact that neither gay/bi's or heterosexual swingers want to mix the two. | |||

Gay prides and the trans pride event 'Sparkle' in Manchester. I love those events because being with so many accepting people lifts my spirits. I feel such huge gatherings of small minorities gives the impression we are a larger proportion of the population and perhaps a few people who see us slowly find themselves getting a little more used to our existence. Things change and it takes time. I too believe you can't rush it. If you try it becomes confrontational. We push. They push back. It gets nasty. No progress. There a some pretty huge numbers of people in this world who have some pretty extreme views regarding sexuality and gender mismatch. They too are marching. That, I have to say, scares me a little. | |||

If anyone is homophobic most people will quickly turn their back on them, as would we. Prejudice is so ugly. But you have a blind spot to the possibility that, to some people, seeing the act of gay sex may be as physically revulsive as seeing scat play.

We can do something about our attitudes but we can't change how we're wired. " Ah , but this isn't true at all . Here's why . When we began our journey I was homophobic , and the thought of two guys together repulsed me . As did TVs , CDs , and all manner of other activities that go on in this lifestyle . Fast forward six years , and I can honestly say I am completely the opposite to how I was . I enjoy seeing two guys play , and may even be bi selfish myself ! We love meeting TVs , CDs , t girls and are happy to try anything with anyone we find attractive . So to suggest we can't change how we are wired is simply untrue . | |||

"It's precisely this "YOU WILL TOLERATE EVERYTHING OR ELSE!" attitude that's destroying the political left. This itself is a form of intolerance. It's killing feminism it's killing civil rights and it's leading the vast majority, frustrated at being called bigots all the time, into the hands of people like Trump. " Please do tell me - exactly what is wrong about being disgruntled that people treat bisexual men poorly? | |||

"Some things turn people on, some things turn them off. You can't force people to say they like it or decide how they think of it...all you can do is play how you want in a club that is happy for people to play and let the club worry about anyone who behaves inappropriatly" well said | |||

"Honestly OP ... a huge part of me understands your point of view and ideally there would be no predjudice ... however from your responses to other posters i actually suspect you are one of these people that like to make a point and get a reaction and rather than enjoy your bi mmf in a private room or at home where you dont run the risk of these people disapproving ... and therefore will be able to enjoy it without any of the worry ... it seems like you would rather put it right in front of people almost in the hope they disapprove so you get the satisfaction of a scene, making a political point, and feeling like the victim at the expense of your fun ... being a martyr makes no sense to me i would rather just close the door and enjoy myself " 1. I really enjoy watching men have sex. 2. My partner enjoys playing with men. 3. My partner, myself, and the other couple are huge exhibitionists. Therefore we are looking for a nice busy sex club at a weekend where we can indulge in what we enjoy - like anyone else at a swingers club. | |||

"OP just make sure you go there with the right attitude. You have managed to engage in quite a volatile argument with a poster who has clearly said they find homophobia distasteful and that they hope most people would shun homophobes. You have made few references to violence ensuing and untoward behaviour. It is suposed to be a fun night for you and the other customers. Going out with the intention of making a stand against the bigots isn't going to be nice for anyone. I share your dislike of homophobia. Also if you are over zelous in it, you can alienate people who would otherwise fully support you. MrB" I never go anywhere with the intention of violence. However I have had men be violent to me because I was with a girl and turned them down. And many of my gay friends have had violence towards them. | |||

You are going to a club for fun, not to a poltical demo, the intention is to have fun in a relaxed environment, where everyone present can enjoy themselves. | |||

Your original post although phrased as a question was poised for the defensive stance you bring from the off You anticipated peoples reaction in advance in the same way you are doing with what you expect might happen at the club That strong defensive stance can appear aggressive and while it doesn't make it right for people to be aggressive towards you it night be what provokes it Like rugby mfm said ... if the club allows it then go along and do whatever you want where ever you want ... stop anticipating negativity in advance and let the club deal with any that might arise in the way that the see appropriate | |||

We can do something about our attitudes but we can't change how we're wired. Well, I am sure that if they feel physically sick at the sight then they will just take themselves elsewhere. If they instead choose to make a stand against it, we'll see how the club weigh in. As a side note, could you imagine the following being said: "You have a blind spot to the possibility that, to some people, seeing the act of interracial sex may be as physically revulsive as seeing scat play." or: "You have a blind spot to the possibility that, to some people, seeing the act of lesbian sex may be as physically revulsive as seeing scat play." You are completely right . I don't understand the double standards especially when it comes to FF play . You'd never see the sort of comments about that , that have been left on here It hasnt been left out about FF play in hetro nights in clubs etc. Cos Ive mentioned it ."

I think that completely contradicts the conversation you had with super freak Gauging attitudes and sparking a debate are 2 different things as are respindkng confidently and responding argumentatively with people who have opposing views I would like to say out though that i would have no problem with 2 guys playing and would probably quite like to watch it ... my point is not that it shouldnt be allowed My point is more that the stance you are approaching it from appears more political than just wanting to head along and have some fun and thats where the recipe for disaster lies | |||

"How would you feel if you were at a normal swingers club, say on a standard Saturday night for couples and single women, and two guys were playing and fucking in a prominent and visible place within the club? I know it's not something that happens often (at all?) but I'm wondering if that's because the atmosphere is particularly homophobic at most clubs, or if it's just because not that many bisexual men go to them?" So, was last night the night in question? Did you go and did you all have fun? | |||
