Do you need volunteers to help with the debate?

I've only been a member for a few weeks, but already have a number of promising contacts. I feel it's all about respect. One contact came from a post I put on the forum, others from respectful messages I sent them. I've sent a lot more messages than had replies, but I suspect most men will be in the same position. It's a buyers market so to speak, and you have to appeal to the other party before you get a contact.

I think a great deal of men think that if they find a naked man attractive or admit to it then they are gay. I don't think so, the human form is very pleasant to look at and has been designed to be so, question is do you look at a naked man and think what a lovely body, or what a nice cock he has, there is no problem with that, it's no different to appreciating beautiful art. maybe if you look at a naked man and get a throbbing dripping boner, you might consider yourself gay. I like to look at naked men, maybe to compare them to me, maybe just to see the incredible variations in us, but I make no judgment, I have straight friends on here who look at my pictures and say nice things, I have looked at naked men on here and said nice things, but I don't think that just because a man might be kind enough to say something nice about you because he noticed you on the gallery, it should immediately mean he wants to suck you or fuck you.
I think that sums up my feelings too. I don't generally look at men's profiles, but if they have looked at mine, then I might have a quick look. That's not so say I'm interested, but to see the variation in our bodies.
I've only been on the site for a couple of weeks, and already have some potential contacts. Once they see my body as I add photos, they may decide I'm not the right person for them, but the conversations have been respectful and I'm looking forward to making more contacts. I'm definitely interested in swingers clubs too, so will be looking into that option in the near future. I'm honest in my profile, and will add to it as I get more confidence in the type of swingers I would like to meet.
I'm reading all of the great advice from the more experienced members. Respect seems to be the key, as it is in real life.

Joined when I was in my early 20s when the site and clientele were very different. What I expected? Absolutely nothing.
The forums were the main chatting area back then, as there were very little chat room functions and one to one message capabilities (I did love the old internet sometimes lol).
What I expect now? Again, absolutely nothing. Nobody owes me anything. You don't even owe me the courtesy of reading a reply in the forum. That is part of the beauty of Internet communication. What you put out here stays forever, and can reach so many different people that it is always best to ensure you put your best out there for others to read. They may like it and reach out to you. You may build up a reputation of being funny, kind, intelligent, so when you go to a social people are already eager to engage with you.
You can't show off a giant swinging cock on a forum post, but you can tantalise their mind instead. An often very reliable approach.
Great advice, thanks. I'm new to the scene and am looking to make connections, but i don't expect replies from the vast majority of the messages I send out. It only takes one connection that is genuine and respectful to make the whole site worthwhile. Here's hoping.
