Who else will be watching this Monday night and why hasn't it been advertised.
Here is the below description of the show.
"This observational documentary sheds light on a lifestyle that is often sensationalised. There are now a reported one and a half million people on the British swinging scene, the rise of the internet means it’s no longer just about leaving your keys in a bowl, and many major towns and cities in the UK boast swingers’ clubs. This intimate one-off programme takes an honest and no-holds-barred look at one of Britain’s most popular swingers’ clubs: what kinds of people attend and why? Swingers follows the men and women, from all backgrounds, at the club’s big Valentine’s Day party to find out."
There are even a couple that are on Fab that are being interviewed.
What are your thoughts on this, do you think it will be shed in a bad light again ? |

"Channel 4 dogging programe was piss poor so i don't expect this swinging prog to be any good "
Funny enough I was guna say that the dogging programme was awful and probably be done in the same vein as the dogging programme |

"So fab will have another rush of people that will never meet. "
Sadly yes this is what happens after a show but let’s hope out of all the time wasters we get some good ones out of it and at the least a change of attitude. |

I recorded it on Sunday & just watched it. Good ad for that particular club & that's about it. I guess it's difficult to find people that are willing to appear on TV & openly admit that they're swingers. |

We have to admit that was an awful betrayal, saying that all couples are desperate to spice up their sex lives and that all single swingers have been wronged or are broken.
Another chance to change people's attitudes has gone astray.
Hopefully one day a documentary will come out that doesn't make us all look bad.

Great summary. Must have been hard to find a few who would agree to appear. Then they invited them to a private event. Made it look like there’s only ever 10 people there. Not all bad but not gonna tempt any newbies to try it out eh! |

"Anyone else feel a little sorry for the couple at the end.
Think they should have attended a few socials first before a club for confidence so not a good first time experience for them."
I watched the first 10 minutes and deleted it as I could see the direction it was going, Showing the cleaning staff disrespecting guests saying how unsanitary they are leaving bras underwear used condoms and dirty linen around after them.
It's already been said here I too hope one day a programme will be aired showing clubs and the scene in a good light but I won't hold my breath.
The C4 narrator said before it aired "A one off for us at c4" effectively disassociating themselves with the scene before the programme even began  |

I thought it was ok too and its gross if people leave used condoms ect lying around. Its not that difficult to put stuff in the bin surely.
That couple got on my nerves, she came across as quite needy to me. You have to have a thick skin to swing as we cant all be everyones type and we all get told we arent someones type. Im pretty sure if they hadnt wanted to play with someone they would have said. |

As someone that has never been to a club before, and had mixed feelings about it, I found the programme relatively interesting.
I felt sorry for the couple who didn't get to play, but I felt she had expectations from the start, which often leads to much disappointment!
The message I took from it really, was that swinging is for everyone, whether you are single or otherwise. If you have an open mind, no expectations, and want to make friends and have fun.
Just my opinion obvs  |

That is exactly my perspective on it and the show did show how friendly of an environment it is. don't have expectations and there won't be disappointment.
It did show that it's not the horrible picture that people think it is and generally it is normal people who enjoy sex and kink...everyone ha that but some choose to live it |

We agree it was an awful portrayal of couples being desperate to spice up there sex lives and broken hearted singles.

We found it to be pretty enjoyable,As people new to the lifestyle we'd definitely be interested in attending a club at some point when things start opening up.As for the people presented you'll get all kinds of people within swinging like anything else,But that was just their experiences everyone will have their own x |

I caught up and watched this the other day.
I didn’t find it too bad on the whole, but that one couple did make me cringe slightly. Her having a full on melt down right in the middle of a play room 
Silly girl to go with expectations and have her confidence knocked!!! Like someone already said, need thick skin in this game!!!  |

Its their first time in a club, until you have a bit more experience you do have expectations because you are so excited.
You soon change your expectations |

Her confidence? Regarding an ugly guy who tried chatting to them she said to her fella "He looked good compared to you"
What did that do to his confidence..? |

We enjoyed the programme. Clearly is was empty due to the camera’s and a bit staged, but it was great to see inside Libs and see how good the staff were.
In terms of who was there, the back stories and the reactions. Well I admire they’re honesty and willingness to be on national tv. I think all of us, who’ve been to Clubs, recognise first time nerves. Just imagine what that is like when also on tv!? 
Yes it had its flaws, as did the people there. But one of the features of being human is that we are all flawed. It is actually people’s flaws that are usually the attractive features. So thank you to all who took part and best wishes |
