"How do you deal with it? Is it an issue for you... or do you just accept it. For me unless it was in a dark room or orgy room I do not want to be touched without asking.. Seems to happen a lot in wet areas of clubs and in couple's rooms. I normally remove hand or in the case of someone playing footsie move my feet. If they then do it again. I will normally say. However in a couple's room i feel less comfortable to say to much.. It tends to be women more often than guys and often without even asking if i am into women... and lost count of the amount of women that help themselves to my partner ( or try to ) even had my hand removed from his cock so they can get to it. Regardless of Gender touching without permission is NOT acceptable. We would suggest that rather than feel uncomfortable point out with a smile "don't touch without an invite please". If it continues then a more direct "no means no" after that it becomes a club issue and the staff should be involved. The person/s should be either warned or if more than a touch - asked to leave the club immediately. Perhaps sounds to stern but to keep every safe & comfortable consistently it has to be this way in our view. Cupids "where the customer comes first" I am either getting sensitive in my middle age or it wasnt an issue previously " | |||

"What boils my piss more is when men ask himselfs permission to touch me, not mine " I understand that, but also understand how single guys get told 1000's of times on here don't ignore my fella and just focus on me. Yes, I agree with you but with so many messages I do t think people always do it disrespectfully, in fact it's probably the opposite. Albeit, not quite right. As for touching, we, personally see nothing wrong with a touch on an impersonal part of the body. I.e. Arm, or foot in jacuzzi etc. I think it's what happens next that's important. If the hand is moved away, or head shake or anything that isn't an indicaton it's ok to carry on, then it ends. If they don't, then it becomes an issue. I'm not consenting to mass gropings but in play situations I don't want to have to stop and sign a letter of consent, acheck their passport and CRB before carrying on. a simple gesture should suffice.

I remove it and tell do not do it without asking! A guy told me he been swinging for 15 years and never asked! Also let's say you played with someone before! And you are with a friend , they think because you played once they are allowed to touch you whenever! I would like to be asked!x | |||

"What boils my piss more is when men ask himselfs permission to touch me, not mine " Single men are in a rock and hard place on this one. If, whilst the male partner is present they ask the women if they can touch her, then the male partner will stop things or throw a spanner in the works for being disrespectful to him. I learnt from experience that a single man cannot be seen to cut across the male partner. When I was playing I would ask the male if it was OK to touch his partner, in the hope he will say it is her decision, ask her. Then the circle is usually squared. Not all male partners are easy going. | |||

Sorted. You don't want to play with people who aren't easy going anyway. | |||

I can not believe people do this if I'm being honest and I can honestly say someone invading my personal space with out a invite would be shut down instantly . in my opinion that is what you should be doing op taking control and shutting down such individuals not only for yourself but also for the next person that catches there/ eye , | |||

The bit that will get by back up or where I will stop play is if we're playing and we say yes and the person try's to push me out of the way or take over we gave permission for the person to join us not to have a solo with her. It didn't matter wether it's a guy female or a couple. | |||

"This is the part of swinging I don't like. I'm very tactile, I like to be touched, if someone has a feel of my bum as I walk past in a pub it puts a spring in my step for the rest of the night...but in a swingers club if you allow someone to touch you without pulling them up on it they automatically take that as a green light to play, If you make eye contact, you want to play, if you sit next to someone in the hot tub you want to play...people seem to lose all sense of propriety and think you're a sure thing without putting in any effort to talk, flirt or ask permission " I was smiling at a guy in a club, he was smiling back. He came and sat next to me and put his hand on my thigh without even speaking to me. I just got up and walked off. | |||

"Having been a single guy in clubs it's is really easy and good fun. Do the talking in the early part of the evening with couples at the bar or in the social areas. Enjoy the thrill of the flirt. It's ok to walk over and say hello. talk to both. If you can't pick up the vibe and know the signals it's back to flirting school. General rule for single guys if it's not on in the social room it's not likely to be on in the play room. For couples that's not true because they already have a play partner the play can extend and evolve for them. Mostly I got approached by couples and groups in the social area. On nights I didn't I stayed in the social area. Never went on the prowl in the rooms, what's the point ? It just ruins the play for others. Guys ask yourself this, are you confident and comfortable talking to girls and guys in non swinging places ? Don't assume that because you can't flirt naturally then swinging cuts out the need for it and gets you straight to a easy fuck. " | |||

"We've never had a guy try touch without asking. Had plenty of women come onto both of us and there's only been one time it bothered us.

Mr doesn't mind if they help themselves if im honest but as his partner i find it very rude and disrespectful towards both... especially when as I say ive had a woman actually try to move me off my own partner... I put this post as I was being made to to feel by a few close people that I dont get swinging because i dont accept this... and as playing as a couple its still newish (4 years compared to 18 as a single) i do sometimes wonder if I dont quite always get it right. But seems at least on the forums that many dont think im wrong... i love clubs but am getting where I am getting mighty pissed off at these women helping themselves either to me.. my partner or both. And I find when you tell a woman off it seems to cause offence and your seen as jealous ( if your complaining about them helping themselves or pushing you away from your own partner ) or just odd if its you x | |||

"We just take it in our stride and embrace it as all part of the fun. If I was talking to a woman and she started feeling my leg up I'd love it! You'd love it? Even if you thought she were hideously ugly? Or if she had awful body odour? Or if she were d*unk? Or a total letch? Or you'd love it simply because she owns a vagina? When I was flogging a naked man strapped to a flogging bench I stopped for a moment. A woman watching reached out a touched his arse balls and cock before I could get to her. I slapped her hand away and said never touch without asking. She mumbled so I said consent has to be given, ask me, him or his wife there and it would be like a bloke in a club grabbing your boob without asking. She then said yes I understand that but followed it up with 'I thought he'd like it though'!! Seriously wtf??!! I asked her what if that was the response you got from the man who grabbed your boob...a look of horror on her face when she finally 'got it'. Doesn't matter the gender or orientation, consent is everything! i can well believe this.. women are my real bug bear.. Mr doesn't mind if they help themselves if im honest but as his partner i find it very rude and disrespectful towards both... especially when as I say ive had a woman actually try to move me off my own partner...

We were married for a reason and we are together for a reason. We love each other and want to spend our lives together. That includes any and all situations. Just the same that if a guy tried to move Adam from me, shit would go down ha ha. Consent is key, manners are key. I wouldn't bloody dream of ever moving anyone. I would politely ask to join, if approval was given then I would take cues from the couple because I am an extra, an add on. Just because we are swingers, that doesn't change the dynamic of a relationship and/or the feelings of both partners. Eve. X | |||

If you read what I put and the context in which I wrote it you'd see I was mentioning its always been in a sexually charged conversation/situation. I wouldn't get into that situation with someone I didn't find attractive. | |||

"Touching without asking is wrong Touching without asking is right Touching without asking is in a grey area. I think all three of the above are correct. It just depends on the circumstances and what kind of touching. Firstly anyone just grabbing tits, pussy, or cock (I should be so lucky LOL) in a public area of a club without so much as a word is a no go and neither of us would tolerate it. However sometimes, especially from single guys, a gentle stroke of a leg or arm is used as a way of asking and if she is interested she will let it develop. If not she will let her body language do the talking and just take a step away. If the guy persists after that then he will be told in no uncertain terms. In hot tubs the same would apply, other than the body language bit is more difficult so she would just push the hand away if she wasn't interested. Open play rooms/orgy rooms are a bit different. If you go in to that kind of room and lie on the bed naked with your legs open you can't complain too much if someone touches you. Yes you still have a choice and you can still say no to someone you don't like the look of, but if you don't want to be touched at all you shouldn't be there in the first place. Dark rooms? Well isn't anonymous touching (and more) what they are for? Grey areas? As a hypothetical example. A girl is sat on a couch doing a full on bukkake session. She is sucking and wanking every cock that comes her way. She has got 8 or 10 guys around her, all naked and all stood to attention. Another couple, both naked, join the group and stand watching in the middle of all the guys. One of the guys touches the arse of the woman, not a full on grab but just a gentle stroke. If she is not interested should she just politely push his hand away or kick off and cause a scene? Bottom line is that we nearly all go to swinger clubs for some form of sexual attention and while boundaries should still exist I don't think that it is unreasonable to accept that they maybe moved a little. I would also add that anyone who is overly sensitive to unwanted touching should avoid French and Spanish clubs like the plague. " | |||

" I would grab his hand and ask him if he felt it was appropriate to sexually assault someone, loud enough that people close could hear. Watching someone have sex is not consent to be touched by people who have not asked for permission. Touching without consent is not ok. Whichever way you try and justify it to yourself. Just don't do it. | |||

" I would also add that anyone who is overly sensitive to unwanted touching should avoid French and Spanish clubs like the plague. " FWIW - I was treated with the utmost respect when I went to a swingers club in Paris. I was never touched inappropriately. People were nice and very kind. And made the effort to make conversation before asking if I would like to play. Remarkable! | |||

"How do you deal with it? Is it an issue for you... or do you just accept it. For me unless it was in a dark room or orgy room I do not want to be touched without asking.. Seems to happen a lot in wet areas of clubs and in couple's rooms. I normally remove hand or in the case of someone playing footsie move my feet. If they then do it again. I will normally say. However in a couple's room i feel less comfortable to say to much.. It tends to be women more often than guys and often without even asking if i am into women... and lost count of the amount of women that help themselves to my partner ( or try to ) even had my hand removed from his cock so they can get to it. I am either getting sensitive in my middle age or it wasnt an issue previously " What kind of "touching" are people actually referring to here? In a regular club, if you're flirting with someone, there can be a little contact, not necessarily sexual but hinting towards that. Yet I feel sometimes in social areas of swingers clubs, you have to stay a foot apart at all times like a chaperoned school disco, then jump straight to snogging, groping and shagging. Do women here really object to a little gentle, affectionate contact during the "chatting up" part of the evening? | |||

I've done it often and you can do it in such a way that it is part of the flirting and banter. It's a good sign if someone wants to play later too. If it's a 'sorry no' at that stage then it's probably not going anywhere later either. If it a 'well as long as you don't me touching you too' then you may have something to look forward to later too On the otherhand the woman that pull our friends underwear down and stuck her face in her pussy in the bar area was quite inappropriate... we thought she knew her but turns out she was actually in shock and stunned for long enough for it all to happen! | |||

"Ok taking a slightly diff approach when is it acceptable? If u are in a dark orgy room? U stumble across a lady enjoying a bukake?" Dark room in my view there's no expectation to ask first but if your hand or whatever is moved away that's a no thanks. For a bukkake catch the ladies eye and maybe nod, you'll soon find out. Even in group situations I want the choice of who joins in and it can even be non verbal asking and consent given. It really isn't difficult guys | |||

"Ok taking a slightly diff approach when is it acceptable? If u are in a dark orgy room? U stumble across a lady enjoying a bukake?" When you go somewhere that invites it? Pitch black cinema room or orgy room, bukake for guys that have been given permission to play. Communal beds and a lit orgy room, we'd expect more touching of course but even then assumptions shouldn't be made and it is easy to ask with a touch, smile or whispered 'May I?'. Is it really that hard just not to assume? | |||

"There are some seriously confused woman posting on this thread, " kick him in the balls, call the police and sexual assault". Nanny state springs to mind. " I don't agree with getting violent but ive been doing this a long time.. and only recently found that its happening more and more. To be fair ive found that women do it more... especially to other people's partners. I found when i was on as a single guys for group sessions always respected me more than I seem to get as a couple. But it is sexual assault if you wanted to get pedantic about it. I said at the start. I Dont make a fuss.. in fact.. my partner wasnt even aware id moved because of unwanted hands... because i just move the hand.. move myself and only then comment if it carries on... and yes if I had to id report it to staff.. ( like i did with a guy at one club who we had told twice not to touch and then he had done it again) Only three times Ive got bit angry... once was was a woman who actually shoved me off my own partner while i was riding him so she could get in there.. needless to say she got pushed right back off. ( and I got accused of being jealous) and a woman who just wouldn't take no for an answer who was d*unk and groping me. The last one was a guy id consented to but he tried to bareback me.. and i will i admit I took him down to staff with my hamd firmly around his balls and then left the staff to deal with it. Which they did and he was banned. | |||

" So, we're sitting chatting and I brush against your leg. Not like I'm trying to get my hands between your thighs, just trailing a fingertip. Which side of the line is that? " I would remove your hand and ask you not to. I don't understand what the fuck is so hard about consent? | |||

No I think not so why do people think it is within the swinging community?

It was a fling with a friend of a friend after my last break up. I don't remember asking if I could kiss her, I do remember her saying "I wasn't expecting that" after I kissed her. I know we carried on kissing so I'm sure she was fine with it . | |||

" As a hypothetical example. A girl is sat on a couch doing a full on bukkake session. She is sucking and wanking every cock that comes her way. She has got 8 or 10 guys around her, all naked and all stood to attention. Another couple, both naked, join the group and stand watching in the middle of all the guys. One of the guys touches the arse of the woman, not a full on grab but just a gentle stroke. If she is not interested should she just politely push his hand away or kick off and cause a scene? I would grab his hand and ask him if he felt it was appropriate to sexually assault someone, loud enough that people close could hear. Watching someone have sex is not consent to be touched by people who have not asked for permission. Touching without consent is not ok. Whichever way you try and justify it to yourself. Just don't do it." What makes you think I was trying to justify anything. There was a huge question mark at the end of the post or did you (want to maybe) miss that? However I would say that the situation is very much in a grey area. While I would still agree with you that there always has to be some consent, I would also say that for a woman to deliberately stand naked in a sex club surrounded by 8 or 10 naked guys all with a hard on watching a bukkake session is a long way from making a don't touch me statement. That is why I described it as a "grey area" If she doesn't want to be touched then surely she could watch from a distance or even keep some clothing or a towel on. Or even a polite quiet no would suffice, but in that situation to start screaming about sexual assault is a bit over the top. Sometimes, especially in a swinger club, ones actions can be seen to imply consent, or at least encouragement for a guy to try his luck. As for your Paris club comment. What you describe is quite possible and I don't know which club you were in. However I wouldn't think you would get the same treatment in the narrow corridor in Le Tantra or in the room behind the dance floor in Jeux de Mains (both Cap d'Agde) | |||

Standing naked somewhere is not consent. I should be able to stand naked in my local high street or in my local swingers club and not be touched. Being naked is not consent. 3. Clothing is not consent. Wearing more clothes does not mean you do not consent. Being naked does not mean you consent. I don't understand why people insist on relating clothing levels to consent. By this logic, if I wear a mini-skirt out to a nightclub then I deserve to be sexually assaulted. You'll proberbly say that's not the case, of course, but people still *do* think that's the case in the UK - something like 17% of people according to a statistic during the Evans case. 4. She didn't want to watch from a distance in your bukkake situation, she was enjoying the view. She wanted a better view. She wanted to watch. She didn't want to be touched. She just wanted to watch. Watching an activity is not consent to be touched. 5. 'Screaming about sexual assault' is over the top apparently, but actual sexual assault isn't? What planet do you live on? 6. Actions do not imply consent, unless the action is a woman parting her legs, pointing at your penis, and then pointing at her vagina. Nothing else is consent. Words are consent. 'Yes' is consent. I don't understand why people struggle to comprehend this. Being naked is not consent. Being a woman in a swingers club is not consent. | |||

"FWIW, I just looked up the definition of sexual assault on the met's website: "A person commits sexual assault if they intentionally touch another person, the touching is sexual and the person does not consent." Most touching in a swingers club is going to be sexual. Most touching in a swingers club is going to be intentional. That means, you need to get consent. End of." So in court it would go something like this then. Prosecution barrister. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. The accused deliberately touched the naked backside of the victim without any consent. Defence barrister to victim. So where were you when the assault took place? Victim. In a swingers sex club. Defence barrister. And what were you surrounded by? Victim. 8 or ten naked men all with a hard on. And what were you watching? A girl wanking cocks, giving blow jobs, and covered in semen. Defence barrister. What were you wearing? Victim. Nothing at all. Judge. I really can't see how this compares to a young lady wearing a short skirt in the pub. Case dismissed. | |||

It's a public service, not a deliberate humiliation. I do it on the tube too. A while back some guy tried to slip his hand up my skirt in a packed tube carriage. I grabbed it, held it in the air, and asked me who the hand belonged to that was trying to get inside my knickers without my consent. Now THAT is humiliation.

I did once see a lady loudly tell everyone that he could get off as he had tried to enter her bare... but think that is a much bigger issue.. and people needed to know. We are all different... but even in the bukkake situation mentioned.. id expect people to ask. I May not like them. And being greedy doesn't equal a free for all.. Unless thats what you have already told people x" Thank you. That's all I was saying. Yes, the guy does deserve to be called a dick if he doesn't respond to the polite version the first time and yes, the bareback thing does deserve a slightly harsher response to say the least. | |||

"We've been to clubs that operate a white line system. You can stand and watch the people who are inside the white line, but only cross it when invited. It worked beautifully from what we could tell. Maybe more clubs should do this." The only one I know is OurPlace4Fun, is there anywhere else that has these? | |||

"FWIW, I just looked up the definition of sexual assault on the met's website: "A person commits sexual assault if they intentionally touch another person, the touching is sexual and the person does not consent." Most touching in a swingers club is going to be sexual. Most touching in a swingers club is going to be intentional. That means, you need to get consent. End of." All I'd say is don't go into a quiet dark groping room as everyone's sexually assaulting each other... not that quiet dark groping rooms are our thing... but at some point you've got to admit that in some instances the act of being there can be an act of consent, as is the case in these rooms | |||

Most touching in a swingers club is going to be sexual. Most touching in a swingers club is going to be intentional. That means, you need to get consent. End of. So in court it would go something like this then. Prosecution barrister. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. The accused deliberately touched the naked backside of the victim without any consent. Defence barrister to victim. So where were you when the assault took place? Victim. In a swingers sex club. Defence barrister. And what were you surrounded by? Victim. 8 or ten naked men all with a hard on. And what were you watching? A girl wanking cocks, giving blow jobs, and covered in semen. Defence barrister. What were you wearing? Victim. Nothing at all. Judge. I really can't see how this compares to a young lady wearing a short skirt in the pub. Case dismissed. And did she give any indication that she wanted to be touched or was she just watching like the naked men were? She was part of the audience, not part of the show so you should keep your hands to yourself. Guilty as charged." Sorry but I'm with the first poster on this. Can't see the accuser getting the support of the vanilla jury. Unless all ten naked men and the girl wanking them off show up as witnesses and corroborate her story. | |||

" And this comes back to my point of gently touching someone you are having a conversation with to gently nudge the situation from the bar to the playroom verses touching someone out of the blue. What's wrong with nudging the situation from bar to bedroom with words ffs? How hard is 'would you like to...'?? I go to clubs a lot and I'm very socialable. Do I want every person I talk to to touch me? No. Do I want the choice of who touches me? Yes. I am seriously struggling to understand why consent is so difficult for some to understand Actually in some cases, getting that "would you like to...?" out of your mouth isn't always that easy, especially for a guy who's new to the club scene and/or a little afraid of rejection and a tiny bit of body language, a little flirtatious contact, might be a little easier. So how would you make the approach in a vanilla setting? Just curious because I don't think touching would go down well in that scenario either...but could just be me and my old fashioned way of looking at things Jane x You know, I'm trying to remember how it played out the last time I did this in a vanilla setting. It was a fling with a friend of a friend after my last break up. I don't remember asking if I could kiss her, I do remember her saying "I wasn't expecting that" after I kissed her. I know we carried on kissing so I'm sure she was fine with it ." I can imagine you saying "I wasn't expecting that" after touching the wrong person. | |||

". What I'm saying is there's a difference between "a polite, quite no thanks" and throwing a very serious allegation around. " I don't think that saying "excuse me, you didn't ask if you could touch me and I don't want you to" is actually 'throwing a serious allegation around'. Vocalising it actually services two purposes: 1. It teaches the person that they need to ask first. Education is a really strong way of reforming behaviour. I believe that if we all made a habit of saying 'you didn't ask first' instead of just pushing someones hand away then it would reinforce that this behaviour isn't acceptable and that they should ask. 2. It lets people in the near vicinity know that the person is a bit handsy. They will keep an extra close eye on the person when they are near them. It's helping others with their own personal safety. Swinging clubs would be much kinder and nicer places if we watched out for each other and reinforced that poor behaviour isn't welcome. | |||

I don't think that saying "excuse me, you didn't ask if you could touch me and I don't want you to" is actually 'throwing a serious allegation around'." I didn't say it was, I was referring to other people further up the thread, who were suggesting saying something much louder and inflammatory. If that's how you'd phrase it in that instance, then I think that's fair. | |||
