"dont think anyone on here is guilty of taking a moral highground, imo, its just about having different standards. some are lower, and others wish to try to make people regain ome self respect by pointing it out." I tend to watch rather than get involved but isn't having different standards another way of taking the moral hi ground. After all if you think you have higher standards than others aren't you in some respect saying others have standards far lower than yourself? | |||

Doesn't mean we have to agree with the choices others make, just accept them as THEIR choice, not yours. BUT NEVER JUSTIFY YOUR CHOICE TO ANYONE.

The reason we do this is we do not want to be recognised by the general public and ultimately be judged by them for being on a swingers site. I find it strange then that swingers will then at times take a moral high ground with other groups or individuals and judge them on things they do. I was looking for some insite into why people feel the need to do so, if they took some please from judging and ultimately do they think they should be judged by other groups. I avoided capitalising any part of it as capitalization is widely regarded as shouting and something you avoid. | |||

I make it clear on my profile I only meet single men but married or attached men choose to ignore this and contact me so I tell them why I will not meet them. I dont beleive this is me taking a moralist high ground just me living by my morals What others perceive is their business and if they choose to contact me then they should welcome my _iews (again as stated in my profile) " Don’t get me wrong I have no problem with anyone choosing who they should or should not meet based on marital status, age, creed or sexuality we all have a choice and long may it continue. This thread was not about that it was about how often you see people say openly judge people for indulging in things like bare back sex, being bisexual and not saying so, being married and a number of other flashpoints. Maybe I should have said to receive acceptance you have to give it. For non swingers to accept swingers (I am not saying play with them) then maybe swingers should accept other groups too. | |||

On the thread you are talking about I was questing the use of a word that was all. I didn't see you as specifically judging, you even stated you had been on the other side. If you care to read this thread fully before jumping in with both feet you will realise it is about judging and being judged and why people do not like to be judged themselves yet will judge others. | |||

However we are all adults and know you can be very negative about someone eases life stile and choices. I am a big believer in ever one having the right of choice. However i feel uncomfortable in reading at times people harshly condoning others choices that differs to their own. | |||

"And you are doing what exactly??" Well it does actually say what i am asking in the thread title but for you i will repeat in a different manner so you dont think its all about you. I am asking why people harshly judge others, do they get pleasure form doing so? Do they conversely feel aggrieved when others judge them and how do they justify things. And possibly would it be not better to accept others choices even if they are not yours and ultimately have others accept your life choices. | |||

I could judge you for being petty towards other people on this thread but i cant be bothered" You could have that opinion yes and you could be negative and condescending too. Would that be right though? Have people judged you in a negative way in the past and have you felt put upon? If so why do it to others is the essence of this thread. | |||

"The term moral high ground is a very interesting one, it is nearly always used by people who find they are being criticized for their life choices. They fail to see that morality is personal and based on our beliefs and value systems, which grow from our experiences. For me i am not a better person because of my moral choices, i am simply being true to myself, which is necessary if we are to be sane healthy creatures. Guessing what has prompted this thread(i have spent the afternoon being used and abused by Sir,a choice of mine that many may disagree with) i believe one of the reasons people here come down so heavily on cheats is because they use words like honest and genuine, they are not being true to themselves,and people sense the cognitive dissonance. As far as turning a blind eye to something you believe to be harmful and damaging,why do you believe people should? Surely as human beings concern for others is one of our better features, not one that we should try to erradicate. i remember a very interesting thread on bdsm here with iconic, because of past experiences she believed bdsm was harmful, and shared her _iew, not from a judgmental attitude but from one of concern for women she had seen harmed. It seems that only person trying to insinuate they are superior here is the OP who confuses openminded with valueless. " The term is a generally accepted one for people who think their point of _iew is superior to others and will go to lengths to pus that point of _iew on others often without provocation and to satisfy their own personal desire to belittle others. Should people turn a blind eye to things? Well if it has nothing to do with you, if its someone else’s life choice then its difficult to see what moral right anyone has to ram their _iews on others. For me no I wouldn’t say I was better or worse than others more equal. I have no confusion at all over open-mindedness as that is what I was trying to portray. Neither have I with values as I was giving the example of the general public having values different to swingers. Maybe you are the sort who likes to judge others but would hate for people in the general public to look at your life style and belittle, degrade and ridicule it. I know I wouldn’t so I would show some respect to other people’s position rather than try to put them down. Why not try it sometime it is refreshing and you feel better from it. | |||

" And how is the patronising high ground? If someone comes onto here looking for meets and they are cheating on their partner then it does affect me, they contact me wanting to meet, assuming because i play alone i play behind kevs back, the clog up the forum and they give an impression of valueless sex to newbies who join. Why do you think that so many men start i have been a week and not got a shag threads? Because they assume that every woman on a swinging site is looking for any available cock with no reference to her own personal values. It also affects me in chat, where along with many other women we get harrassed by men who want to know why we will not meet them right now, this sense of entitlement is partially fromthe same roots. By being here cheaters add to this idea. When we used to use the old contact mags and loot the single men in the scene were never like this, because they understood a woman who chooses to swing is not looking for no questions asked sex. As for belittling anyone,i would like to see where i ever had,my advice is always the same, leave the site and sort out your marriage,if that fails get a divorce. It may not be sugarcoated, but it is honest, and based on compassion. An emotion you might like to try sometime, its more attractive than arrogance. | |||

I tend to watch rather than get involved but isn't having different standards another way of taking the moral hi ground. After all if you think you have higher standards than others aren't you in some respect saying others have standards far lower than yourself? YES!! Lol well honesty is always refreshing. In reality we are all different and have different standards but it doesn't make one better than another." tis the best policy....shame a lot dont adopt but yes again I agree.......does that make me a 'yes' kinda gal | |||

" But isn't that a bit like saying to people to leave their morals at the solely because they are on a swinging site... People's ethics and people's morals are what make everyone different in how they are applied and how people react... I think it is kind of a big cop out when the best defense of something that is wrong is to attack other people's morals... | |||

"in terms of the op, i prefer my morality to come from an external locus rather than an internal one (ie my moral code is absolute and every one who lives to it believes in the same code, rather than relative where every one adjusts their morality to suit themselves) im an absolutist because i feel that i live my life to my moral code. i feel that a relative moralist adjusts their moral code to justify how they live their life. some times i dont live up to my morals, but being an absolutist, this alows me to be humble and accept the failings of others..... Im not a particularly good christian but that's the code i choose to try to live my life by.... " Shall we be bad Chritians in the corner together Brother georgy (btw i did nearly mention hate the sin love the sinner, but dint fancy being patronized again ) bbtw... Platonist here, and therefore absolutist. Anything else doesn't work ...or leads to extreme goodwinning. The trick is to understand that your ideals(in the Platonic sense)are first principles. Therefore must be solid and able to be applied to any situation. | |||

This was a bad thing to do, I was also very clear with her that I didn't realy aprove but realistically not shagging her was not going to stop her from cheating.... as it happened I put a stop to things, shortly before she broke up wit her hby who had also been playing away (perhaps you peopl with extra curiculars will take note....)

" Fair comment, but if someone starts a thread on "Why arent i getting meets" or "how do i get my wife into swinging" then the fact they are cheating is relevent to any replies. i would answer the second very differently from someone who posted they had never met, but joined because they hoped their wife and them would swing together in the future. In fact i have answered several such threads without reference to the fact they are married. | |||

Well pardon me but this thread is about people preaching morals and not about cheating. Peoples morals vary and you may well be shocked but people have other ones to you. If you hadn’t notices there are many thousands of people who do not see swinging as morally acceptable. | |||

"I know I'm wading in a little late, but I thought I'd drop in my thoughts. Being judgmental is completely natural. We all have our _iews on what is right and wrong. We will all disagree with what some people do or say when It does not dovetail nicely with our belief system. This in my _iew is judging. I would call it acceptable. IF it is a case of disagreeing with a course of action or opinion without trying to impose your belief system on someone else to make you feel good about yourself. For example, I personally am very much against smoking and drug taking. But should you choose to smoke or take drugs, I can not and should not tell you not to. The same rule applies to swinging, cheating or whatever. Feel free to disagree with any action or lifestyle on a personal level, share your opinion if you want. But be aware it is only an opinion and nothing more than that and should only be portrayed as such. Those who do try to impose their opinion on others or bellitle the beliefs of others only show themselves to be arrogant, possibly self obsessed and weak if they can only feel strong by trying to make others feel inferior. It's bullying for grown ups. Not big, not clever." Good points...however i will restate what i have said before,posting your _iews on an internet forum is not trying to impose them,and anyone who takes advice from strangers of the interweb is breaking the first rule...which is never take advice of strangers on the interweb Forums are for self expression, nothing more.There can be bullying, i have been on the receiving end of it, and stalking, but that is about a sustained attack over a period of time.Simply expressing your opinion is what forums were invented for. i often think threads like this could be avoided if ppl were a little bit more familiar with how posting worked. Nowhere has an only post if u agree rule. | |||

"What clumsy bird just said. I agree. And jemima, I agree that anyone taking on a strangers opinion as better than their own on a forum is being daft. However, what I was getting at and I suspect the op meant was that sometimes an opinion is stated in such a way as to sound accusatory. We're considering the intention or motive of such a person, not simply the words which can be interpreted in about 17.6 million ways. I hope that makes sense? In a non confrontational way. " oh it makes perfect sense, but frankly i cant mind read and forums would be deathly dull if no one posted strong _iews.

"Well it seems he's away to bed. He'll have to trawl through this all in the morning. If anything at least its got us voicing opinions." not really,this thread turns up every week. The interesting thing would be to do a thread about morals without being a patronising twunt, i have started a few, my dead indian one went down well feel free to start a debate on morals that doesnt start from the point of believing u are superior and then you will find ppl are more than willing to engage and debate. | |||

"Opinions are like arseholes.... everybodies' got one. Broadly speaking, I try to live life in a "Christian" manner, even though I am an aetheist. I am guessing that goes for most on here, but I dare say there are some ne'er-do-wells on here too. If you distilled the "morals" of a representative average 1000 people on here, you would end up with a fairly broad, but nevertheless well defined, moral "highway", along which "we" (society) expect most to travel. Some will deviate slightly off this path, and be castigated for it, some may even take a right turn and head in a different direction altogether, and we have all seen the comments on some of the threads when this happens. Those that do head off on a major tangent often know, even before they put finger to keyboard, what the majority verdict will be, but they do it anyway, perhaps this is part of the make-up of who they are that they not only want to do (or have done) these unmentionable things, but also want to inform others (perhaps for the shock value?). As for those that wander off course a little, well, we have all been there, pushed the boundaries, asked a question without thinking etc. This so-called "grey area" I can live with.... the rest, well, if you (those that plumb the depths of the murky waters way off the highway) feel you have the right to do what you do, and then tell all and sundry about it, then I reserve the right to jump in and give my opinion, wanted or not. Bottom line, you know its wrong, so stop telling everyone about it and then coming over all "oh poor me" when the shit hits the fan! " it 100% | |||

"Is it a position you like to be in? If so why? Are people on the high ground devoid of sin or do they just feel better than the rest and relish in judging others? Discuss. I'm dissappointed by the number of people who criticise honesty, but accept dishonesty without question. Moralists are like that but often they lack the ability to absorb and understand before committing a knee jerk reaction. I understand that a partner left at home not knowing what their beloved other half is up to is wrong. I understand why some people don't understand what I have just said... I'll carry on jerking me knee to that fact (no pleasure is felt btw.... wrong erogenous zone!!!!) An interesting way of living your life. So you would have no problem in a devout religious neighbour finding out you and your partner swing and taking it upon them self to contact the local press with the headline reading something like local driving instructor in depraved sex orgies. And some outlandish which hunt within saying something like would you want this man teaching your teenage daughter? Personally I think it would be unacceptable but if we follow your _iew point then its acceptable for someone to openly comment on your life style justifying it by saying a parent should know if someone if someone teaching their teenager is involved in non authodox sexual practices. Or would you prefer to judge others based on your moral _iewpoint but not have others judge you based upon theirs? " Oh my Someone knows more about my life than I do Distorting things to "dress it up" is very 'tabloid' don't ya think? (got a new job for a new Sunday 'red top by any chance?). For starters, we don't attend orgies. Secondly, neither of us are driving instructors. Thirdly, our neighbour has absolutely no interest in religion. Next point, you are a swinger (that makes us level). Final point ....me and my OH are truely honest with each other, meaning ZERO deceit .....can you say that? | |||

"Opinions are like arseholes.... everybodies' got one." That's true but why ram it down someone's throat? Have an opinion but don't push it on others in an aggressive manner. This thread isn't about people going poor me its about people trying to force their moral values on others. I really though swingers could appreciate that. | |||

I can understand some of what you say but the not wanting the general public to accept swinging I find hard to believe. People want acceptance for all they do in life from others. I am not saying people shouldn't have an opinion, I am not saying people should like all others do but I think its isn't acceptable for people to be so aggressive with someone because they don't like how they live their life. When people take a moralistic stance and tell others that they are living their life wrongly and that should do it another way just isn't right. This happens on a number of topics and i think sometimes people do it for shear pleasure in making others uncomfortable. | |||

See this is the problem here and how it all started You post on a public forum you can't pick and chose your answer If someone choses to post controversial threads they should be willing to accept controversial answers if not then don't post As in your case you cannot state in a public forum please don't interact with me All you can do is refuse to answer that person It all down to individual choice always And there is always a minimum if two choices in every situation | |||

However, if posts are made they will invariably be commented on. Like all subjects, everyone has a different opinion and will say so. If someone finds this traumatic they should step away from the computer and maybe think carefully before they post. | |||

I am not saying people shouldn't have an opinion, I am not saying people should like all others do but I think its isn't acceptable for people to be so aggressive with someone because they don't like how they live their life. When people take a moralistic stance and tell others that they are living their life wrongly and that should do it another way just isn't right. This happens on a number of topics and i think sometimes people do it for shear pleasure in making others uncomfortable." No way are the majority of people ever going to accept what i do with Sir, i just want to not be arressted for it. i think you my be conflicted if the acceptance of others matters that much to you...i think u will find most ppl on here dont give a flying fuck | |||

" Please do not interact with me your last comments were abhorrent and i refuse to discuss matters with someone who will use such examples just to point score. See this is the problem here and how it all started You post on a public forum you can't pick and chose your answer If someone choses to post controversial threads they should be willing to accept controversial answers if not then don't post As in your case you cannot state in a public forum please don't interact with me All you can do is refuse to answer that person It all down to individual choice always And there is always a minimum if two choices in every situation" | |||

"show me someone who has never judged another and I will show you someone who has no morals at all Thats not what I was trying to point out at all. I just find it very hypocritical that swingers get annoyed that the general public judge them but feel perfectly free to be highly critical of other groups. hm, not sure cheating on your partner puts you in a group but isnt this the argument of Im judging you and deciding that you are unworthy of judging me... therefore you are being just as judgemental? I have no morals because I swing? Not really a valid argument in my opinion. However, I do hold with the old saying along the line of not judging a man/woman until you have walked in their shoes but thats a personal thing. People are on here for all sorts of reasons, many of which are not published and nor should they be. I dont really worry about being judged as I have a very good internal compass that gives me hell if it thinks I have gone off track, as do many people I imagine. To thyne ownself be true. As for wanting to be accepted as a swinger by the general public... pish! Its not something I have any wish for.... its a naughty secret we share as a couple and I like it that way. I understand and accept that some would find what we do offensive and would not inflict knowledge of our sexual practices on them out of respect for them and us. Maybe there is a lesson there? I can understand some of what you say but the not wanting the general public to accept swinging I find hard to believe. People want acceptance for all they do in life from others. " You cant believe that doing something that is taboo, secret and naughty feels better than being socially acceptable??? Cripes, you need to loosen that tie boy. | |||

"When you enter an eviromental of couples that base their lives on trusting eachother what kind of reaction would you expect? I would expect people to treat others as they expect to be treat themselves is that too high an expectation to have of other swingers? There is more homophobic, bareback, over weight, cheating negativity among swingers than i would have expected. So swingers can't have morals then? Are you not doing what you are accusing the general public of doing? And before you say anything please be aware I'm bisexual,when I used to play I barebacked and had it on my profile in capitals and as I've said I've cheated Have I had any problems getting on I'm the swinging world or on this site? No Why? Cause I don't start threads bragging or promoting any of those things I just simply get on with it That way I don't open myself up to being judged And I don't intentionally judge either" This is not a thread about any individual for a start and I haven’t said anyone can’t have morals at any point. I do have an issue with people pushing their moral _iews on others in frankly at times can only be described as an aggressive manner. I am at a loss if people see a thread they don’t like why they just don’t leave it as there are at least another 30 on a page. Fine if people want to politely add comments but at times there is a witch hunt against people and its been going on as long as i have been on here. Some people relish and take delight in pushing their morals on others and its unpleasant to see. | |||

What is a tad annoying is someone trying to tell me I (and others) should not judge people whilst he has done nothing but wave his own big fat judging stick at anyone whose opinion he doesn't like.
