Is Swinging the norm in the UK??

Answer 1

in this crazy and diverse world we live in it would seem that everything is classed as normal apart from a 2.4 children family!

Answer 2

Though not the norm, I recently heard that in the 1970s that houses that had a particular type of palm (plant) in their front garden were using this as a sign that the house was a house that hosted swingers' parties.

Don't know how true this is but it seemed to make sense that there would have been some kind of recognisable symbol.

Answer 3

It is absolutely the norm in the UK to swing altho nobody admits to it. From an early age we are told that it is the unspoken secret. We give a little swining nod, a bit like the churchill nodding dog thing and then we are on our way. we have swinging parties, and you can tell where they are as the curtains are closed and u can see a light on. We have swing conferences where information is shared about the best swingers in town.

Answer 4

Some of the women's answers on here have talked about keeping their dignity, but this just betrays their lack of self-confidence.

If a woman looks after herself and has a reasonably dirty mind, there's very little chance of her losing her man.

Of course, if a couple swing with another couple, the women somehow become less special when the men see their partners with other men.

The only way to guarantee that it will work is to swing with a woman on her own (whether she is in a relationship or not). This is called a mff threesome, and is very popular in the UK.

I was going out with a Greek girl many years ago and I had been asked to be best man by my best friend, who used to be a senior law lecturer. She taught English to pre-sessional master's degree students, yet she hadn't heard of the British custom of a man having a threesome with his girlfriend and her sister, and nothing my friend or I said could convince her. Needless to say, I left her not long after that as due to her puritanical Greek upbringing she just couldn't enter into the British tradition of swinging and threesomes (and that is despite the Greeks having invented "Greek Style").

Answer 5

I can't say it is the norm, but I did meet a swinging couple from the UK and they were shocked how uptight we americans were about the subject. I think maybe the UK'ers have accepted that sex and love are not one in the same.

Answer 6

Answer 7

There are rather some kinds of swing dancing- all of them are cool! there are in all probability swing golfing kit on the verge of crumple of you- in all probability extra suitable appropriate than one, thinking the reality that West Coasties do not do correct with East Coast/Jitterbuggers- the track is only too different.

Answer 8

it ain't the norm..but there is a big following,

usually done in the back streets with blacked out windows,
just like prostitution, its frowned upon in UK,

because we still live in the Victorian era of prudes and people who think sex is dirty,

that's why we have sex shops hidden away and porn mags under the counter,and the highest teenage pregnancy in Europe


swinging is great ..don't knock it till you've tried it,because if you haven't tried it,
you don't have the faintest idea what it involves,

It may be prevalent in some communities, but hardly the norm.
