"Forsaking all others"

Just a thought re moral high ground threads, if you said "forsaking all orhers" in your vows do you believe you have the right to 'preach' to others re taking the morale high ground about cheating or swinging either seperately or together?

We are all entitled to express our _iews as long as those _iews do not breach the slander or libel laws.

Morals don't come into it.

It's either lawful or it's not

Didn't say "forsaking all others" cos we already knew that wasn't the plan. I trust my hubby not to do anything that would hurt me, thats enough for me.

and since the people who do that tend to use the "well we all sin, who are you to judge" arguement, there is a big difference between telling a fib such as "yes i had an extra chocolate bar" and "I am cheating behind someones back"

well at least in my world... i know... its warped like that...

Let's face it swinging involves sex with another person. Whether you're partner/spouse knows or not it's still sex with another person. I have sex with other people and my wife doesn't know or suspect. These "moral high ground" swingers annoy me when they say it's cheating because the partner doesn't know!

No wonder they annoy you, they aew right...you are cheat, if you can live with that fine. But try not to bring your inability to understand trust and honesty onto a site where couples who love each other are are open and honest with each other.

Do you understand the definition of the word cheating? It's exactly that^^^^^ Please don't try to justify what you're doing by trying to claim we're all doing the same thing. We're not - some of us are honest and not deliberately and selfishly hurting the person we love for our own gratification.

I'd end a relationship before I cheated.,I believe I'm a loyal person.

I'd definitely rather meet a woman whos partner knows though...

I've heard some crazy ideas from people, who think couples who swing, cant really love eachother..I believe the exact opposite! my reasoning is the total trust employed,an acceptance of HIGH sexual needs,an acceptance of a more open sexual likes.

I believe religion should have NOTHING to say when it comes to sex

But of course its cheating if your partner doesn't know.

How can it be cheating if they do know?

Cheating means deception, which means doing something to deceive someone else WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE.

People are usually deceived for two reasons, either the cheat is taking money or goods by deception or the cheat is doing something he/she knows would deeply hurt or break the heart of the person they're deceiving.

No matter how you try to dress it up cheating is wrong.

Swinging is not cheating!

if its not cheating.. why would your partner need to "suspect" anything? you know your doing wrong...

i don't take a "moral high ground" i just know the difference between right and wrong... have i done things that are wrong in the past, yes,,, do i regret them.. yes.. why because they were wrong. if someone comes on here and asks for sympathy or understanding for their cheating, people who are on the right side of wrong arent gonna be sympathetic to them are they? its not a moral high ground its just expressing an opinion which is so often asked for.

I sometimes wonder why adultery isn't actually illegal in this country.

When you think about it, betraying an unsuspecting partner can sometimes be the absolute worst thing that ever happens to them.

People will say, 'well its not like steeling' or 'its not a physical assault' etc. but quite often its much worse than that.

Most crimes committed against a person are not actually personal, the robber robs 'A' house that happens to belong to someone.

Betrayal on the other hand tends to be very specific, personal and 'with intent'.

Some people NEVER fully recover for being betrayed by what they thought was their nearest and dearest.

Why should we tolerate someone who doesn't see that cheating... deliberate deception...is a world away from swinging...i hope anyone who ever considered meeting you sees the derogatory opinion you have of swinging..,and the people who swing.

You seem typical of the hypocritical men who look down on swinging women as a convient hole...but would never let their wife swing...

An attitude i will never tolerate,

And as you seem to have trouble understanding English...

I've stated before that I won't judge the why's and therefores of why people are deceiving partners... but seriously mate do you really enjoy looking like an imbecile on a public forum? I don't believe for an instant that anyone could be stupid enough to believe what you're saying but just incase I'm wrong I've googled something for ya...here educate yourself for fuck sake.

CHEATING definition:

When in a committed relationship, the definition of cheating is based on both parties' opinions, and both parties may redefine their understanding to match the party at an either lower or higher extreme of this definition. Cheating constitutes doing anything, whether verbal or physical, that one would not do in front of their significant other.

CHEATING

present participle of cheat (Verb)

Verb:

1. Act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, esp. in a game or examination: "she cheats at cards".

2. Deceive or trick.

The "quote digging a hole" comes to mind if some one gives their consent to their partner sleeping with someone else that isnt cheating if you are out shagging anything that move behind your partners back that is just what i call a cheater no moral high ground thats my opinion and im entitled to it if you think any different i think you are just trying to justify you cheating

People will always try to justify why they do this that or the other. Others will always come the fuck you and say they hate what you are doing. Its not just people cheating it spans so many aspects in life from football to religion and it gets a bit boring people constantly going at it.

OK, it seems that this thread has gone off course slightly!

The 'question'

If you said forsaking all others in your vows wether as a couple or as a single and you swing do you or can you take the moral high ground abouth those that are classed as cheats?

Also do all those that you said those vows infront of know you swing? If not is that a form of cheating? After all These are the witnesses to you pledging forsaking all others.

Ok to the actual OP...

We didnt say it, it would have been hypocritical as i spent the night before the wedding shagging my best mate and me and kev had a threesome on our wedding night.

However if a couple did say it they said it to each other, it was a promise at the time they meant.(Presumably)

The fact that life has taken them as a couple into interesting sexual experiences doesnt make that promise invalid, as part of the swinging mentality is being able to separate sex and love. You can argue that despite our numerous sexual partners kev and i more fully understand what foresaking all others means than a monogamous couple as on an emotional level we are bonded in a way that goes far deeper than whose bits go where.

Then there are couples who have simply grown together, they know they said one thing, now they believe another...people change. If they change together they are still honoring the intention of their vows.Which is where cheating differs from swinging...though i find it amazing this has to be explained yet again.

Marriage is not just abut sex, but about making a commitment to someone, those vows also include honouring and respecting, by playing behind your partners back you are doing neither.

And remember there are plenty of couples here who arent married...there promises are individual to their relationships.

Happily, even taking vows in front of people doesn't mean they need to know what you get up to in your private life. A person wouldn't be cheating the witness as they didn't vow to them.

As others have said on this thread, there is a perfectly good definition for cheating that doesn't include the word " honesty"....Swingers are not normally decieving their other half, hence honesty and not cheating.

Now for me, as lots have probably gathered, I don't care what other people do in their lives, if they are on here to play behind their OH's back then thats up to them, and it doesn't involve us....BUT I find the married people who try and justify why they are doing it or make comments that I have quoted up the thread with a goggle eyed smiley sickening.

If you are going to play away,play away, but stand up and be a man/ woman and accept you are cheating on your OH and stop making excuses for yourself....because it is cheating wether you like it or not.

I have more respect for the people who say, yes I am married person, the OH doesn't know and I am not going to make excuses or discuss why I am cheating, but do you fancy a meet.

Cake and eat it springs to mind and if only one part of the couple believes this which one is right and which wrong?

Taking it further does it matter which one of the sexes suggests?

Still how ever you come up with swinging as right for you or both of you does it give you the right to take the moral high ground in telling others what is the 'correct' process?

Does cheating only apply to the physical act? "

who said your not allowed to have your cake and eat someone elses? if one part of a couple doesnt beleive something is right and the other does, they sit down, discuss it like adults and should only go as far as the least willing partner is happy to, im not married but that is what a partnership is about... taking steps together.. and if your other half doesnt want to, or cant take steps as far as you can you dont go there, you stick with your partner...

For us and our boundaries, cheating consists of any physical or emotional act behind the others back... that includes online chat (in an emotional way, i.e i love you etc), cyber sex, photo swapping, meeting, and IRL sex acts.

obviously.. the most important words in that are " behing the others back" its the deceit that makes it cheating.

Very true, if all is done openly and with a blessing then there will be no problems, it's when you both want different things that the cracks appear!

If any member of a couple isn't happy with anything that is happening then all should stop, if it doesn't then the wedding vows are just worthless words and the divorce courts will be calling!

Yet we have people within the swinging community who will bitch moan and snipe at everyone they can. Do they need to convince themselves they are better than the rest of the "perverts" swinging?

Ot is it just because they love the attention on here, Or are they really so narrow minded they find lots they chastise people about so wrong?

As long as everyone involved is careful, respectful and discrete leave them to it. We personally dont meet someone if we know they are married or cheating, but we would never ever judge anyone who does or a man who cheats, It has nothing to do with us just like our swinging has nothing to do with anyone else, We would hate for someone who doesnt know us to judge us on our lifestyle therfore we will not judge others,

Each to there own is a saying we use the most.

I removed my last answer as I was being pulled into the cheating argument rather than the forsaking all others as asked.

Forsaking surely means just that in shall i say vanilla eyes and perhaps we for the most part all started our lives togther that way and some will always feel that way. For those that feel they are more enlightened and for those that feel that growing together some how mitigates or excuses that you now swing does that mean that you have the right to tell others that your way is the correct way to meet others for sex! Hence the moral high ground?

Sex with others other than just your marriage/life partner when those vows are taken surely is cheating?

No, it's because we were already swinging when we met and it wasn't something we wanted to give up. We are faithful to each other, we don't cheat on each other. We play together, as a couple. If at any time one or other of us becomes uncomfy with the idea of swinging then we will discuss it as adults and take it from there.

No..

dont see how you can come to that conclusion..

what about masturbation, whats your personal 'moral' _iewpoint on that?

even if cpl's had included the 'forsake' element in their marriage vows, its their decision as adults whenever they wish to venture into this 'lifestyle'..

we have found that a lot of the cpl's we have met have been some of the most sincere, open and honest people we have met..

Apart from the fact it makes you go blind!

Then you could argue as you use the term argumentative what or who the fantasy is could be seen by some as cheating, as in mind and not body.

This was all about all of those threads that criticise those that cheat if they have said in their own vows forsaking all others do they have the right to criticise to the point of being 'nasty'

Incidently this thread was started as an extension of observations of other threads of those that clearly believe that as some have said have never cast the first stone and possibly have selective memories as to how and who instigated the idea of swinging and just how much convincing of the respective partners they had to do in order to fullfil their own fantasy. And don't tell me that's never happened.

Oh and now that I've read further down

I think vows are outdated with modern life (although I know you can pick what you wish to say).

There are things you don't often share about yourself in the start of a relationship but eventually you get to know your partner enough to know what he or she will or not freak out about should you tell them.

As long as your are open and honest or willing to put aside thoughts that gratifity yourself for the sake of the person you love then yes I do believe you have the right to take a moral high ground. Should you.....depends yes especially when there are people who don't see that their actions are likely to cause harm!

The standard Church of England wedding vows aren't open to interpretation. And if people chose to include forsaking all others in their vows, then even if they do swing together, they are cheating on the vows and promises they made before God. Which begs the question, why take those vows in the first place?

So in my opinion anyone who does then go against those vows is cheating, whether it be both parties or not and with the permission of both parties or not.

And yes I am married and no my husband doesn't know about this. I have my reasons, but they are no one elses business! I always state my situation to people who contact me and they have a choice to continue or not.

Oh and no I didn't make any vows before God but I'll still probably be taking the lift down

"With or without their knowledge but with their consent" meant that they know you swing but don't want or need to know the details. Consent has been given, boundaries and rules have been put in place and that no-one is going to get hurt.

Examples... Couples where one person is away from home alot of the time, the partner can't offer everything that that person is looking for.

It really is fairly simple:

If you think a couple talking to eachother and agreeing to meet other people for sex is the same as cheating, you really don't understand what swinging is by any of it's accepted definitions.

If you don’t understand the difference between deceit and consent… then there’s little hope for you ever understanding.

If you challenge a seriously religious person about the words in their scriptures and the literal meanings, most (aside from a few nutters and the dumber ones) will tell you that many aspects of religious scriptures (the bible for example) are not meant to be taken literally… they are symbolic references, meaningful analogies and figurative metaphors which should be interpreted in the spirit they were intended.

So I guess similar can be said for the wedding vow ‘forsaking all others’…. that along with the origins of the marriage ceremony: to protect inheritance. Let’s face it, the marriage ceremony, in terms of the history of religion, is a pretty new thing and certainly ‘man made’.

So may be in the non literal sense and more in its symbolic meaning, ‘forsaking all others’ means to be faithful with your heart and bank balance, by committed to sharing your life with this one person…. as it was written in pre-contraceptive times.

Then there are those of us who might point out that monogamy is not modeled in the old testament and is a modern European construct.

So you can use the bible to support a whole host of marital structures, what you cannot do is use it to defend lying.

"I just find it strange that you can have sex with someone else with your partners consent and that's different when the partner doesn't know! I can't see the difference!"

I think maybe your confusing two different things adultery and cheating, in fairness to you many religious groups would completely agree with you when it comes to adultery (taking the Bible and 'religious' definition of adultery). Sex outside of your marriage breaks the 7th commandment and the desire to commit the act breaks the 10th commandment, as far as they're concerned you can't even think it!

Cheating on the other hand, whether in cards or in your sex life, requires an element of deception. It is the deception that makes cheating distinct from adultery or (more accurately) sex outside of marriage.

Forget sex for the moment. To cheat is to mislead, and it's the misleading that is so abhorrent to many on here.

It would be fair to say that many religious fundamentalists see little or no difference between the two, but this is not an extreme christian website, it's a swinging one. Most swingers believe that the only potential 'harm' is in the deception.

The deception is the cheating not the sex.

Traditional swinging is based on honesty.

Therefore a cheat that swings is a contradiction in terms.

I completely understand the desire cheats have for more tolerance and have often pressed for more tolerance for them BUT cheats should stop 'tarring' swingers with the same brush and respect the distinction between the two.

You never know, that may lead to more tolerance.

The wedding vow argument has little or no merit in my opinion. The vows or commitments are promises made to each other with God as your witness. Your not marrying God, your marrying each other, God is simply witnessing your acceptance of the terms of the contract.

If you enter into a covernant or a contract in business or a house purchase etc then a solicitor may be the witness, they're not entering the contract. As with any contract the two parties of that contract can agree to amend it's terms at any time, if only one party changes the terms then it's simple, they are in breach of contract and at that point the aggrieved party can turn to the original contract and the witness to prove the breach.

This is a very valid point and it's what I feel is totally true! This comment on my opinion is a "for the win" answer of the day!

Cheating in my opinion wether others agree or not is lying and hiding what you are doing and swinging couples are being honest and they consult each other on who they might or will meet.

I' afraid theres so many natural contradictions in many arguments against the cheating and morals and swinging.

in respect to swinging some think we should have little influence in each others lives, as the primary aspect to swinging is the sexual side.Whether someones married or not, some wouldnt even ask.Some wont even discuss what they do for a living regarding their privacy.We dont want to know about other peoples lives, as our lifestyle(as swingers),is supposed to be about open sexual relations and not much more.

while i'm not advocating cheating, as I wouldnt do it myself, or like to be on the receiving end,it does seem somewhat paradoxical with the different types of meets people have...and how much u actually want to know about the person(s)whom ur having sexual relations with...as that could be an extensive process to determine any aspects of the persons that may be unlikeable traits.

I can only speak as a free single(and HOT) man, but ive never been asked on any meets 1to1,group,social,gangbang meets if I'm married/attached...but then I'm pretty much always available to contact so theres nothing to hide..and not too much to constrict me when n where i can meet or the duration.

I can only say i respect anyone on the site/scene(that appears to have a good grasp of whats involved), Ive no business in what they do, like they dont n mine whether they are singles,couples,fuckbuddies..

The paradox comes when u might have more than just that fleeting interest/connection.. then when u have that, it opens a new set of issues,rules and needs

sorry if I sound so neutral on the whole moral highground issue, its just never going to be clear is it?

I am so glad I am single! This thread has my head spinning as many others of its ilk have done.

However, (isn't there always one) one experience for me was when I was part of an FB couple. My FB started seeing the wife of a swinging couple behind my back. Now had he said he wanted to see her on his own, I would have said go forth my dear. However, he lied about what he was doing and where he was going. That to me was the betrayal, not that he slept with her. The fact that he then dumped me because she gave him an ultimatum was a stinker but hey, shit happens. I still don't know though, if the husband ever knew what was happening.

Nothing to do with forsaking all others, but certainly a lot to do with deceipt and lying and ultimately, cheating.

"K didn't think it very funny when I burst out laughing at that point in the ceremony when we were renewing our vows on the beach in Jamaica but she couldn't see what was happening on the nude beach 25 yards behind her at the time - a top notch comedian couldn't have timed it better

lol. Which beach?

No, but it can be interesting seeing how far they are prepared to take it.

No convictions required just seeking a concensous as to if youve said the words in you wedding are you cheating on those words just to please yourself and hopefully your partner, and if so the thought that lead you to seeking out others for sex was a solo idea or did you both think of it at the same moment.

And should you then criticise those who can't or won't tell their partner for what ever reason be that imoral in your eyes that they want extramarital sex with others and hopefully them

Now I really am confused!

Adultery and cheating are different?? Because cheating involves deceit? Adultery doesn't?

Your wrong. Adultery doesn't need deceit. Cheating requires deceit. Adultery with consent 'cheats' no one.

If you go to your bank to withdraw some money on overdraft, your withdrawing money.

If you go to your bank and rob it, your withdrawing money.

Both maybe withdrawing money but clearly they're not the same.

Forget the money and isolate the robbery element. Forget the sex and isolate the deceit.

Do you really believe they are the same?

If marriage vows really need to be questioned by the OP, then I will honestly give our take on it all.

When we exchanged our vows (many years ago), we did so to commit ourselves to each other exclusively. As the years went on, we both realised that we shared the same fantasies (hence us joining the swinging community, so we could explore them - together) because we are able to communicate with each other openly and honestly.

What on earth do we do now? We have not forsaken others.

Do we gather our vicar and wedding guests and make a formal announcement? Do we divorce and remarry, adjusting the vows? Do we look at each other in disgust for not living up to us not being so perfect in the eyes of god? ....I'm at a total loss as what we should do

.....all I know is that we love each other dearly, we behold honesty with each other and embrace liberated sex from time to time ....we don't look for a sneaky shag behind each others back.

We do judge those that aren't honest with their life partner - we are free to.

We don't mind being judged by people (ie vanillas) that think swingers are disgusting - they are free to ....but at least we will understand why they judge us

From Diana Dors for those that remember her, just a little side comment:

I said to this priest, "Am I expected to believe that if I went out and had an affair that God was really going to be upset? Okay, thou shalt not kill . . . steal . . . but thou shalt not commit adultery? If no one is any the wiser, what the hell difference does it make?" He was lovely. He told me the Commandments were laid down for a lot of guys living in the desert. -- IMDb Quotes: Diana Dors

People should maybe consider the historical context of adultery commandments laws or rules. Remember a world without contraception and adultery simply meant lots of men bringing up other mens children. Early societies could not handle that, modern societies have much less of a risk due to contraception.

i will consider deciet and dishonesty wrong in any form, the fact you cannot understand that, or how swinging works ,in fact how adult relationships should work, based on mutual respect, honesty and openess makes me quite sorry for you.

Must admit to not reading the whole thread (there have been so many similar ones recently) so apologies if this has already been said but... If you are going on the let he who is without sin cast the first stone bit aren't you taking the moral high ground judging others to be unworthy of judging. Confusing isn't it as I believe we are all sinners if you follow that road. More importantly... Do jury members get judged moralistically before they judge? For that matter what about the actual judges?! Hm... The deeper you delve the more it seems nonsense to me....

So the long and short of it is that the vows don't matter if you're both in agreement, it doesnt matter how the situation came to light or who suggested it first and how or who brought it up.

if you fuck behind someone's back it's cheating no matter what! No exceptions! No excuses!

Any lie is deception and is another form of cheating, again no matter what, no exceptions!

Swingers always hold the moral high ground over others and therefor their opinions take precedence over others.

swingers are always tolerant.

Well at least I now know what is expected...

"So the long and short of it is that the vows don't matter if you're both in agreement, it doesnt matter how the situation came to light or who suggested it first and how or who brought it up.

Vows do matter, but just like the terms of a contract consenting adults can agree to change the terms of their agreement. God is a witness, the contract is not with God. It's just like 'until death us do part' and divorce.

if you fuck behind someone's back it's cheating no matter what! No exceptions! No excuses!

Yes, if there's deception there's cheating.

Any lie is deception and is another form of cheating, again no matter what, no exceptions!

Even though some lies have that strange label of being 'white lies' they're still lies and therefore deception.

Swingers always hold the moral high ground over others and therefor their opinions take precedence over others.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think anyone has claimed this to be the case.

swingers are always tolerant.

Definitely not, swingers reflect larger society.

Well at least I now know what is expected...

Yes, the distinction between adultery (in it's original definition) and cheating.

Asking the question invites debate, but debate only works if you choose to genuinely engage even with the posts you find difficult to 'contest'.

People's reasons for doing what they do is their own, as long as they are honest, people then have the choice to decide to interact / meet that person or not. Who are we to judge anyone? we all know there are good bad and indifferent types of people on this site, but we have freedom of choice.

I have been reading the forums over the past few weeks and it seems to me that there are a lot of people who seem to want to cause an argument and clearly like the sound of their own voices.

I don't fuck anyone behind my husband's back. He is normally there, on the bed, beside me with another fem!

We are both consenting adults. We promised to be together, without the forsaking all others line in our vows. We didn't make a "contract" with anyone else when we married.

We married because we love each other and wanted to be together. Part of that love stemmed from swinging so why should it end because we wanted to make a commitment to each other? Just because we want to be life partners doesn't mean that we don't want to have a little fun with other consenting adults as long as each party is happy with the proceedings.

As said before .... each to their own.

I wonder what the term to use is then, if ur married and ur spouse doesnt know ur on a swinging site and unaware that ur sharing ur body with other people isnt that cheating , nothing to do with moral high ground surely its fact, marital infidelity is cheating.

" So the long and short of it is that the vows don't matter if you're both in agreement, it doesnt matter how the situation came to light or who suggested it first and how or who brought it up. "

and again how much of the preceeding conversation have you actually listened to... it must be quite selective... people have giving you there defination of foresaking all others and yet you still haven't listened....

"if you fuck behind someone's back it's cheating no matter what! No exceptions! No excuses! "

cheating involves an amount of deception... so yes... for me... the dictionary term for cheating applies...

" Any lie is deception and is another form of cheating, again no matter what, no exceptions!"

if you want to take it at its most pedantic meaning then yes.... if you are then trying to use the arguement that all lies equal then you are seriously deluded...

there is a difference between having 3 pints in a pub and telling people you had 2....... and being cold and calclauted, coming onto a swinging website, and having sex behind the person they profess to "love more than any other in the world's" back

" Swingers always hold the moral high ground over others and therefor their opinions take precedence over others.

swingers are tolerant, they are open to people and to other... do i think that having sex behind "the person who they profess to love more than any other in the world" back is swinging.... not really.....

"Well at least I now know what is expected...

Have I missed anything? lol"

yep... you glossed over everyone who's opinion disagreed with yours and tried to score cheap points over people you patently don't get along with......

"Teach me to ask a simple question!

see thats the problem... i don't think that was the intent at all.... i think it was an attempt to flamethrow a situation that has bubbled up more and more to the top over the last couple of weeks..... and you just wanted to get them to bite.....

and fairplay to a lot of people who have actually tried to turn it into a conversation and dispell a lot of the baiting that went into the OP..... but then you went to try and firebomb again....

......... just my own personal opinion... you're getting a kick out of winding people up....
