what does everyone think about this? is there some kind of ettiquette about it?
i don't mean men who swing with the knowledge and blessing of their partner but men looking for a furtive fumble.
usually says something like "discreet" in the profile - and "discreet" is usually spelled wrong too.
am i just being too fussy as usual?
I personally don't care. I know others that do and have strong opinions about it.
I am not here to marry anyone or have anything other than sex. I don't know the people that I have sex with well enough to know their partners. I have no intention of getting involved in anyone's personal life. For me meeting someone who is married or involved absolutely guarantees that they will be discreet and honest (with me). It also means they are more respectful (I have no idea why, I am just going on experience)
The only issue I have had with people’s personal lives was when meeting someone who was single, living alone, could accommodate etc etc. I got an e-mail about 3 months after I was stood up by him from his wife. I won’t go into detail but it was pretty rubbish.
Now, I meet who I want when I want and care enough to have sex with them. No more no less.
I have taken exception to a couple that I was due to meet. I spoke to both 'halves' of the couple and arranged to meet them both at seperate times for a cuppa. I was nervous and didn't want to meet them both together initially. I met him first. It turns out he didn't tell his wife. He then asked me to meet him for sex alone. I refused and told him that I wouldn't betray his wife. To me this was him taking away my choices. I now can't talk to either of them in chat. I feel uncomfortable as I don't know what he has said and I don't want to create an issue between them. (and I didn't get to fuck them both- harumph)
Basically I live by my own guidelines of right and wrong.
I personally do not play or intend to play with any "attatched" men who are on here with a single profile.
Just becasue some peoples profiles have "descreet" in it, i wouldn't assume they are attatched. I quite often have it in my profile and im 100% single, its just i'd rather the whole world didn't know my buisness.
I usually work out who is and isn't single by the times they want to meet. If they can meet day or nite, at anytime... they are single... if only days.. they are attatched :haha:
Some women/couples actively seek married guys as there is a greater chance of it being simply a NSA shag...
I wont even begin to chastise/berate etc as in life its each to their own as far as I'm comcerned..
I myself am married as is my wife ;-)
We both play together and seperately and those that know either of us will confirm it :-)

ditto.
i'm not sure if it's a moral problem for me or more of a logistical one. there's no way i would have anyone over to my house - i've been unlucky enough to be stalked by an ex so i'm very selfish about my privacy.
don't even get me started on young guys who still live with their ma.
We'd agree with splendid and cs ... for me and Pom, we're responsible to each other in OUR relationship - no-one elses. We are NOT the morality police or guardians of someone elses marriage. We don't know the circumstances behind a guy playing away but the few married guys we've spoken to haven't berated their wives telling us they're hard done by or 'she's a bitch' or whatever; on the contrary they say they love their wives very much with the only glich being their sex lives. And that's not an issue for me or pom to judge.
I also have no intentions of getting involved in other peoples lives and each to there own if they want to go out and sleep with other people behind there partners backs.
I feel, I, as a person have a right to choose what i do and that is to not get involved with married/attatched men looking for sexual activity behind there wives backs. I also sit back and think how i would feel, if it was me and i found out my partner was out meeting women or in some cases.. men, without my knowledge. It would crucify me
havent read all that ^^^ but has anyone mentioned its not just blokes that do this..
live and let live..

It's really none of yours or our business what they do, everyone is here for their own enjoyment whatever that is and whatever their reasons.
We have to keep our own judgements to ourselves with regard to what 'should' or 'should not' be done in here.
In the past i have had less trouble with married men who are playing without consent than the majority of real singles, this tends to be - not getting hassled for meets at stupid times of night or everytime you sign into msn/sh etc, they appear more discreet, and you can be more confident that it will be nsa. As a couple i play as a couple and seperately with consent
and yes as pointed out its not just men doing it
I think the decision to avoid aiding and abetting a cheat is generally accepted and more so by the cheats themselves, who are used to being turned down because of it.
But at the same time swinging does not have a built in safety net for anyone who feels that this is an important issue. All one can do is make reasonable enquiries and assess the person's response. And its still possible to make an unfortunate error.
There is a dichotomy in that one wishes for a non-conventional encounter, providing it adheres to some conventional values. Which may be applied under varyingly selective criteria.
Whilst it is possible to have some control over material and present circumstances, there is significantly less control in such matters as karma, fate, sod's law or what have you.
Something else that goes unasked of the new partner is how balanced they are about their decision to swing. Would it tip them over the edge into something else? Would their mum be really really affected by its discovery? and so on. That kind of thing is generally ignored but could have its own implications.
I choose not to play with such a person.
However, I don't judge them either.
In between black & white there are many shades of grey.
Ive been on the other end of a cheating person... not a pleasant experience how I found out and I really wouldnt wish it on anyone else! I wouldnt knowingly see anyone who was attached, married, partnered, seeing someone etc..
I would be upset if I did meet someone whom I believed to be single and found out at a later date they weren,t.
I think the difficuilt thing on here is beleiving someones profile status, if its important to you that is.. and to me it would be.
I have more respect for those who are honest, as you then have a choice of meeting or not. Although morally I dont agree with it, I can still be friends. None of business at the end of the day really... but I have no intention of ever going through the same experience again and it has made me very wary of guys in general.
Half the couples on here seem to be attached men swinging alone, lol.
I used to be pretty vitriolic about "cheating" (for wont of a better word) partners......
then I saw the "greyscale"
something that also changed my viewpoint occurred the last time this question was raised. I recieved a lengthy PM from a forumite who felt they wanted to explain their situation.
It moved me to tears.
So as I said- whilst I choose not to get involved, I also choose not to pass judgement. Whilst there are, undoubtedly some arseholes out there with devoted partners who are just out for extra pussy/cock, there are, equally, people living in situations we could not imagine.
Live & let live.
