"Is this comment or the request for a racial preferences from the fab community a subtle reminder of the UK’s eternal prevarication between sanctuary and xenophobia! Should the gate keepers of Fab have a social responsibility, culturally (for racism) on this site. Not suggesting Fab alone cannot fix the problems that happened when individuals decides on a preferences! It is really hard to get people to understand or move away from there xenophobic ideas!" Dunno. Ask the couple you got the verification from. | |||

Not suggesting Fab alone cannot fix the problems that happened when individuals decides on a preferences! It is really hard to get people to understand or move away from there xenophobic ideas!" Is a racial preference any different than a size preference when it comes to sexual partners? We are attracted to those we are attracted to. In a community where BBC is a huge turn on for many people & BBC nights are popular in a lot of places, I think it’s a sweeping generalisation to call racism or xenophobia because some people’s preferences exclude it. I don’t play with young guys. Does that make me ageist? Some guys prefer athletic women. Does that make them fattist? Some women only play with women. Does that make them sexist? Some women won’t play with bi-guys. Does that make them homophobic? Choices of partner are just that - a choice. Not saying there aren’t people in the world of swinging who are racist / fattist / sexist / homophobic. But I’d think the majority of people’s choices are driven by other factors & motives. Just my tuppence worth anyhow | |||

"I have sex with people I find attractive, so far I've only found white people attractive enough for me to want to meet them. Do I really need to give a couple of non-white guys a pity fuck to please those who have a problem with me choosing to have sex with people who turn me on? I can't control who I'm attracted to, the same as everyone else can't control who they are attracted to. If someone wants to pretend I'm racist then there is nothing I can do about it, well, there is, I can allow myself to be fucked by someone I don't want to be fucked by but isn't that bordering on r@pe..? But hey, if it keeps the PC brigade happy who cares as apparently we should be allowing ourselves to be fucked by anyone whether we are attracted to them or not, but wait wouldn't that make us all whores? Isn't that seen as a bad thing? Well, it's better to be seen as a whore than a racist so forget what turns you on and just spread your legs for everyone/imagine you're fucking someone else to stay hard, and please everyone else because what turns you on isn't important apparently..." I agree with most of this post. This is how I feel these threads are about. | |||

"We all, well many of us, get so twitchy and worried about offending people these days that it actually stifles constructive discussion about controversial issues. IT IS NOT RACIST TO HAVE A SEXUAL PREFERENCE THAT EXCLUDES SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THE COLOUR OF THEIR SKIN. It is about sexual attraction and preferences. Now at the risk of sounding like a cliche - we have lots of friends of all colours, races, religions etc. We thoroughly enjoy the company of our diverse friendship group. However, we find that we are rarely physically attracted to black and Asian people. So does that mean we racist because we do not want to fuck someone we do not find physically attractive? I (husband) also find I am generally more attracted to brunette women rather than blondes and very rarely ever redheads. Am I gingerist? Also I am straight and do not want to have bi-sex with another man. Does that mean I am homophobic? Pretty certain many of my gay friends from the fetish scene would say not! Sexual preferences and choices no matter what they are should be respected and not be a cause of distress for others. If someone doesn't fancy you for whatever reason and says so on their profile then don't write to them! Now I am in no way being dismissive of the repugnant state of affairs in terms of racism in this country (and others). It is quite simply abhorrent and unacceptable. Still doesn't mean a I am going to have sex with someone I don't fancy for whatever reason that might be!" Couldn't have put it any better myself. Several words being worthy of being included in the 'Underused words' thread from the other day too | |||

I’m sure many of the people who state racial preferences aren’t racist. My point is, that I think it’s completely socially unaware to do so, when you could just as easily ignore messages. That’s just my opinion though, and people are allowed to run their profiles however they choose | |||

"This has nothing to do with control or men’s lack of success on this site - it is about a systematic process of individual choices which excludes individuals based on colour! there’s is a obvious misunderstandings that certain individuals on this site will have an intolerance and will be in denial about what is attractive, so limited-it a simple argument to use your body as an excuse rather than your conscious brain! The sex part is the easy part! These thoughts are not only exclusive to women, but to man, from all ethnic groups. Me personally it does matter if you are racist or xenophobic!

"I’ve been on fab for years. So often in that time men blame anything and everything - quite often things they can’t change or have no control over - for their lack of success. People can have sex with whoever they want and don’t have to give reasons for not doing so. It doesn’t matter if they are racist or xenophobic in that decision making process because it’s their body, their rules. " | |||

"Firstly unapologetic you did sound a bit cliche and conceited, “we’re okay we have a collection of assorted ethnic friends”and we also collect gays all for our amusement”! Not sure if you understand my message, but it is about attraction and sharing a common understanding! Your hair attraction example, suggests to me why I wrote my original message- socially, emotionally, intellectually and sexually your preferences have disregarded individuals with certain colour hair, you have decided you have nothing in common with these people! I’m not against sexual preferences and choices and agree they should be respected. However, Intellectually and sexually it is limited! Profiling can be so dangerous linked intrinsically to a legacy of hostility towards certain types!" I get what you are trying to say, but I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. I totally understand that there is an issue in this country with people being discriminated against because of colour, race, sex, weight, background, religion & sexuality to name a few. But I don’t think sexual preference (in the main) is discriminatory. People are attracted to what they are familiar with. They say that girls look for guys like their dads & guys for women like their mums. So if that’s the case, their is an ingrained instinct to look first of all at your own race, background, nationality etc. My personal preference is for tall, broad guys with body hair & dark rather than blond. This describes my partner. It also describes my dad and my first 2 serious boyfriends, so I find this theory plausible. I also prefer guys who are within a 20 year swing of my age. I’m not turned on by boys young enough to be my son or men old enough to be my father. I’m not attracted to guys with long hair or long beards. I like a trimmed beard. I don’t like short or skinny guys, I like a bloke built like a prop forward. I prefer a dad bod to a gym bunny I don’t meet people online. I only play with people who I’ve met & connected with. Personality matters to me much more than physical appearance, so if a long haired, blond guy with a 6-pack is funny & charming & we have a laugh, then yes, I may well play with him. But I might turn him down in favour of the beer drinking, rugby playing, Will Carling look alike (yes, I’m showing my age!) There is no profiling in place. No deliberate act of discrimination. Just people choosing the sexual partners that naturally float their boat. | |||

"Some of the views on this thread are making me feel a little unwell to be honest. Choosing one sort of 'person' above another is prejudiced. Obviously when that prejudice encompasses race, there is are words for this. Stating that you are not wanting to shag ANY, for example, 'fat' person is pretty terrible in my book and speaks volumes about your personality and general world view(ie, very narrow). If that is what you think, don't put it in your profile. But stating that you don't want any approaches from 'fat' people can not be just lazily conflated as being as 'not bad' as stating that you won't shag people who are black, or muslim, etc etc. That IS racism. And is NOT the same as stating you won't shag fat people(which is just spiting your nose to cut off your face as far as I'm concerned, as well as a bit heartless and narrow minded. But that's by the by). As for BBC lovers. Fair enough. Good for the black dudes. But it still doesn't really cover those particular ladies in glory. Their fetishizing.

"Some of the views on this thread are making me feel a little unwell to be honest. Choosing one sort of 'person' above another is prejudiced. Obviously when that prejudice encompasses race, there is are words for this. Stating that you are not wanting to shag ANY, for example, 'fat' person is pretty terrible in my book and speaks volumes about your personality and general world view(ie, very narrow). If that is what you think, don't put it in your profile. But stating that you don't want any approaches from 'fat' people can not be just lazily conflated as being as 'not bad' as stating that you won't shag people who are black, or muslim, etc etc. That IS racism. And is NOT the same as stating you won't shag fat people(which is just spiting your nose to cut off your face as far as I'm concerned, as well as a bit heartless and narrow minded. But that's by the by). As for BBC lovers. Fair enough. Good for the black dudes. But it still doesn't really cover those particular ladies in glory. Their fetishizing. Which is what many of us do(of course!), but that fetishising encompasses various stereotypes... Fine. Racism, racism everywhere. We understand. Since when Muslims are a race is a big question but whatever floats your boat. It is much easier to say to yourself "she won't meet me because I am Muslim" than "she does not like me", so suit yourself." I truly have never seen a profile where the person states their religion ..... | |||

"Firstly unapologetic you did sound a bit cliche and conceited, “we’re okay we have a collection of assorted ethnic friends”and we also collect gays all for our amusement”! Not sure if you understand my message, but it is about attraction and sharing a common understanding! Your hair attraction example, suggests to me why I wrote my original message- socially, emotionally, intellectually and sexually your preferences have disregarded individuals with certain colour hair, you have decided you have nothing in common with these people! I’m not against sexual preferences and choices and agree they should be respected. However, Intellectually and sexually it is limited! Profiling can be so dangerous linked intrinsically to a legacy of hostility towards certain types! I get what you are trying to say, but I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. I totally understand that there is an issue in this country with people being discriminated against because of colour, race, sex, weight, background, religion & sexuality to name a few. But I don’t think sexual preference (in the main) is discriminatory. People are attracted to what they are familiar with. They say that girls look for guys like their dads & guys for women like their mums. So if that’s the case, their is an ingrained instinct to look first of all at your own race, background, nationality etc. My personal preference is for tall, broad guys with body hair & dark rather than blond. This describes my partner. It also describes my dad and my first 2 serious boyfriends, so I find this theory plausible. I also prefer guys who are within a 20 year swing of my age. I’m not turned on by boys young enough to be my son or men old enough to be my father. I’m not attracted to guys with long hair or long beards. I like a trimmed beard. I don’t like short or skinny guys, I like a bloke built like a prop forward. I prefer a dad bod to a gym bunny I don’t meet people online. I only play with people who I’ve met & connected with. Personality matters to me much more than physical appearance, so if a long haired, blond guy with a 6-pack is funny & charming & we have a laugh, then yes, I may well play with him. But I might turn him down in favour of the beer drinking, rugby playing, Will Carling look alike (yes, I’m showing my age!) There is no profiling in place. No deliberate act of discrimination. Just people choosing the sexual partners that naturally float their boat." Unconsciously, you are being biased as well as profiling towards a certain type! Call it what you like preferences/attraction, you have setout in the above comments what you put in place has a criteria for selection! My dear there is discrimination! | |||

It is much easier to say to yourself "she won't meet me because I am Muslim" than "she does not like me", so suit yourself." I understand what you're trying to say. But unfortunately your point is wholly wrong. - Racism conflates prejudice based on both 'colour' and ethnicity. According to the 1965 UN International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination,[18] the term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin that has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life. | |||

"Some of the views on this thread are making me feel a little unwell to be honest. Choosing one sort of 'person' above another is prejudiced. Obviously when that prejudice encompasses race, there is are words for this. Stating that you are not wanting to shag ANY, for example, 'fat' person is pretty terrible in my book and speaks volumes about your personality and general world view(ie, very narrow). If that is what you think, don't put it in your profile. But stating that you don't want any approaches from 'fat' people can not be just lazily conflated as being as 'not bad' as stating that you won't shag people who are black, or muslim, etc etc. That IS racism. And is NOT the same as stating you won't shag fat people(which is just spiting your nose to cut off your face as far as I'm concerned, as well as a bit heartless and narrow minded. But that's by the by). As for BBC lovers. Fair enough. Good for the black dudes. But it still doesn't really cover those particular ladies in glory. Their fetishizing. Which is what many of us do(of course!), but that fetishising encompasses various stereotypes... Fine. Racism, racism everywhere. We understand. Since when Muslims are a race is a big question but whatever floats your boat. It is much easier to say to yourself "she won't meet me because I am Muslim" than "she does not like me", so suit yourself. I understand what you're trying to say. But unfortunately your point is wholly wrong. - Racism conflates prejudice based on both 'colour' and ethnicity. According to the 1965 UN International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination,[18] the term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin that has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life." Fookynell. This is a thread about who swingers want to fuck. WTF has the UN got to do with it? | |||

"Its weird. How can you be attracted to only one race ? and people try pass it off as their 'preference' now a days. I've read so many times on profiles no blacks or asians like we're back in the day, I'm numb to that shit now. Tell yourself whatever you choose to make yourself sleep better at night. And why it's so hard for me to understand is cause for as long as I can remember I can see beauty-obv ones I'm attracted to- in all races. I could never tell myself I'm not attracted to that person cause their white or Asian, I'm not built like that. Ay to each their own . Appreciate OP for shedding some light on the topic but people gonna be who they wanna be and you cant change that bro, esp when they don't see anything wrong their self " So your definitely not attracted to a whole group of people under 20 years old then?? Or is that just a preference? | |||

You cannot, others can and will as they know who they are more likely to like. Liking a certain category of people does not mean you will like all of them - it only means if you are ever attracted to someone, they are more likely to belong to that group. In brief, who has the time? | |||

"I have sex with people I find attractive, so far I've only found white people attractive enough for me to want to meet them. Do I really need to give a couple of non-white guys a pity fuck to please those who have a problem with me choosing to have sex with people who turn me on? I can't control who I'm attracted to, the same as everyone else can't control who they are attracted to. If someone wants to pretend I'm racist then there is nothing I can do about it, well, there is, I can allow myself to be fucked by someone I don't want to be fucked by but isn't that bordering on r@pe..? But hey, if it keeps the PC brigade happy who cares as apparently we should be allowing ourselves to be fucked by anyone whether we are attracted to them or not, but wait wouldn't that make us all whores? Isn't that seen as a bad thing? Well, it's better to be seen as a whore than a racist so forget what turns you on and just spread your legs for everyone/imagine you're fucking someone else to stay hard, and please everyone else because what turns you on isn't important apparently..." | |||

It can stand for whatever you want it to stand for.

"From past experience with replying to messages from black, Asian guys etc, if I politely decline because they are hundreds of miles away I get accused of being racist, which is not true. If they had bothered to read my profile in the first place they would know I don't accommodate and will only travel locally. Its perfectly clear what I'm looking for, race doesn't come into it. " Oh the horror you mean your not willing to travel? That's so travelphobic I for one think the site needs to do something about this. | |||

Well clearly Not Xenaphobic and defo not Racist (in the normal definition). I still think any exclusion on Skin clour or race is incomprehensable as no 2 people are alike. Generalisation is bound to lead to disapointment. However a positive bios towards difference seams less likely to be based on a negative oppinion of otherness. Still think there is a lot of Dehuminisation on the scene. And that may answer anouther regular thread post, "the why am I not getting any" posts. Treat people or yourself like objects and People tend not to be attracted to you. Simples said Oleg. | |||

"So, in a nutshell, if we don't fuck people we aren't attracted to it makes us racist and xenophobic. All nicely cleared up now, end of thread, toodlepip people. Xx" This. Why should we shag someone we're simply not attracted to, whatever they might look like. Trust us... a loot of people don't like the look of us, so I don't expect them to come queuing up at our front door!! | |||

"Generally speaking I think most people who state certain ethnic preferences aren't racist, it's just a minority of racists who hide behind preference as a means to inflict hatred on others. Basically if you're a racist just fuck off you're not welcome. If you have a certain preference or fetish for a particular ethnic group, then happy days, your intentions are well placed and you're quite welcome here." I see what you're saying, but sadly too many think differently to you and jump on the sexual preferences are racist band wagon | |||

"Maybe fab should introduce a quota. For every 10 people you meet, 2 must be a different race to you, 2 must be the opposite sexuality, 2 must be into different fetishes, 1 must have a disability, 2 must be a different religion, then you can have 1 that you are actually attracted to. That way no one can be classed as being xenophobic.... " | |||

Sexual orientation cannot be compared with racial sexual preference. The first one is a mix of nature and nurture while the other is entirely socially constructed. Again, in case you missed it the first two times. It is not about the choice per se it is how this choice is formulated. 'I don't find Dev Patel attractive.' Is totally fine. Now, 'I don't find all the guys who have the same skin colour as Dev Patel is ambiguous'. I wonder what is the basis of people for their racial sexual preferences. Because preferences that are socially constructed are the fruit of a reflection/decision, it just doesn't happen overnight. | |||

As mentioned several times above, not being attracted to an INDIVIDUAL is totally fine and respectuous. But claiming that you aren't attracted to every single individual from that race is ambiguous. A sexual racial preference is socially constructed, therefore questionable. (You may have noticed that I didn't used the term 'racist' in any of my post but you did) | |||

Yes but where did I write that the 'Society' told her it isn't right and she isnt making her own mind up?

"Firstly unapologetic you did sound a bit cliche and conceited, “we’re okay we have a collection of assorted ethnic friends”and we also collect gays all for our amusement”! Not sure if you understand my message, but it is about attraction and sharing a common understanding! Your hair attraction example, suggests to me why I wrote my original message- socially, emotionally, intellectually and sexually your preferences have disregarded individuals with certain colour hair, you have decided you have nothing in common with these people! I’m not against sexual preferences and choices and agree they should be respected. However, Intellectually and sexually it is limited! Profiling can be so dangerous linked intrinsically to a legacy of hostility towards certain types! I get what you are trying to say, but I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. I totally understand that there is an issue in this country with people being discriminated against because of colour, race, sex, weight, background, religion & sexuality to name a few. But I don’t think sexual preference (in the main) is discriminatory. People are attracted to what they are familiar with. They say that girls look for guys like their dads & guys for women like their mums. So if that’s the case, their is an ingrained instinct to look first of all at your own race, background, nationality etc. My personal preference is for tall, broad guys with body hair & dark rather than blond. This describes my partner. It also describes my dad and my first 2 serious boyfriends, so I find this theory plausible. I also prefer guys who are within a 20 year swing of my age. I’m not turned on by boys young enough to be my son or men old enough to be my father. I’m not attracted to guys with long hair or long beards. I like a trimmed beard. I don’t like short or skinny guys, I like a bloke built like a prop forward. I prefer a dad bod to a gym bunny I don’t meet people online. I only play with people who I’ve met & connected with. Personality matters to me much more than physical appearance, so if a long haired, blond guy with a 6-pack is funny & charming & we have a laugh, then yes, I may well play with him. But I might turn him down in favour of the beer drinking, rugby playing, Will Carling look alike (yes, I’m showing my age!) There is no profiling in place. No deliberate act of discrimination. Just people choosing the sexual partners that naturally float their boat. Unconsciously, you are being biased as well as profiling towards a certain type! Call it what you like preferences/attraction, you have setout in the above comments what you put in place has a criteria for selection! My dear there is discrimination! " Of course everyone’s preference has a criteria - that’s the very nature of it. How can you have preference without criteria? The definition from the OED of ‘discrimination’ is “The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex“ Is it ‘unjust’ for me not to be sexually attracted to teenage & early 20’s boys? Is it ‘unjust’ for me not to be attracted to women? I am attracted to men, irrespective of colour, but within the parameters of my criteria. Are the rest of my criteria ‘unjust’ Would I be ‘unjust’ in telling you that referring to me as ‘my dear’ is patronising & that would prevent me from wanting further conversation with you? | |||

"Generally speaking I think most people who state certain ethnic preferences aren't racist, it's just a minority of racists who hide behind preference as a means to inflict hatred on others. Basically if you're a racist just fuck off you're not welcome. If you have a certain preference or fetish for a particular ethnic group, then happy days, your intentions are well placed and you're quite welcome here." Generally speaking I agree with this. And No i dont actually think that all people with a preference are racists. Its the reason behind the preference that i think is telling. Comments on this thread and defensiveness are telling. People like who they like. Any individual can be not your cupper. I recon a number of people have already decided they now have no wish to shag me. Fair enough. But if you said All Scots thats a different thing. I have had sex with a lot of English by the way. A preference in no way automatically says anything about why you have one. I certainly have a preference for the living. Reason fucking the dead is just nasty! I am bigited against the undead of all races! | |||

"From past experience with replying to messages from black, Asian guys etc, if I politely decline because they are hundreds of miles away I get accused of being racist, which is not true. If they had bothered to read my profile in the first place they would know I don't accommodate and will only travel locally. Its perfectly clear what I'm looking for, race doesn't come into it. Oh the horror you mean your not willing to travel? That's so travelphobic I for one think the site needs to do something about this. " | |||

"Isnt what OP ornately driving at that its natural for people to have attraction to skin colour (for/against) But perhaps at least a little bit racist to buy into the BBC stereotype that carries connotations with slavery ..a big dumb brute with one purpose Or is that not a thing anymore ..has the term been reclaimed ... " I was considering posting the same thing... One of the reasons for the BBC fetish amongst (some) white couples/women is the taboo nature related to slavery and the master/slave relationship. In addition many cuckold couples expressly want to meet "black bulls" who can dominate the wife and by extension humiliate the husband. I am sure few people would admit it but the undercurrent there is about slaves defeating their masters. However, it is a totally different scenario if the cuckold couple want bulls regardless of skin colour. Before anyone shouts I am not saying I agree, support or understand that as a reason but it is there nonetheless. Personally I find it totally weird but then it is not my fetish. I maintain that it is not racist to have a sexual preference that excludes someone on the basis of their skin colour. I am sure SOME people have these preferences for racist reasons but many do not. It is just what they find sexy or not! | |||

Although I have to admit it was hard to realise that at first. I am afraid I do not really understand what you are saying. The way you have written it is confusing. Saying I am conceited is deeply offensive. I was merely stating a fact. I do have friends from all walks of society. The reason I said "cliche" is there is a "I have black friends" response that people are sometimes ridiculed for but it doesn't change the fact that I do in fact have many friends from across the spectrum. Also saying "for our amusement" is also deeply offensive. I trust that my friends find me amusing and good company like I do them. When did it become wrong to talk about having friends who are different from ourselves? As for "attraction and sharing a common understanding" yes I agree but what has that got to do with someone wanting to do that with someone THEY find physically attractive (this is a swinger site after all)? As for my point on ginger ladies. I didn't say I will never find a ginger person attractive but I did say I rarely do and haven't so far. Big difference. I/we don't exclude anyone but based on experience we do have preferences and remain happy to exercise those preferences to ensure we have a better chance of having a good time. | |||

" Not sure if you understood the debate or you are hiding behind your own insecurities? You can freely express your thoughts and have a sensible conversation on this site knowing the responses surprisingly have been responsible and measured. It is unfair for you to make a comment when you don’t offer any evidence that you find it odd when people throw words like racist around trying to make people feel guilty into “fucking” them! What people are suggesting, your comments are slightly hostile and was a bit of a red herring! Very consistent with the subtle sentiment of why I wrote the original message! You, my Fab friend are clearly in denial of that eternal prevarication between sanctuary and xenophobia! The Windrush discussion demonstrates this! Tough is the Hypocrisy! | |||

Look at every couple and female that has left a verification... try messaging them and work your way from there... you will know instantly that they meet and play with black men. I think this will bare more fruit than randomly messaging people hoping they are open to playing with a black guy. Good luck | |||

I’m sorry but I don’t see the point in questioning people’s choices to give their bodies too...
