However, I am one of those people who are "playing away".

Thanks for sharing that one Cherrytree and I admire your honesty! However, this thread is not about the merits or demerits of playing away and is not intended, nor should become, a judgment of others.
The question was about a new category for those who are playing away - and someone wanting to make this site 'better'.
We all do what we need to do/want to do or have to do on here and it's not going to become a site where some people are given a difficult time because of their choices.
I could list about 20 things to make this site better - functionality and so on - but new categories isn't one of them on even the reserve list!
cool
God spoke.....LOL
Is that your opinion or the opinion of the site.
As a moderator on other sites its very difficult

i think it would be a good idea
when i was an active swinger i prefered mainly to meet married men as there was no hassle with emotional stuff and clinginess
and altho i met a mixture of married and single men, they used to say they prefered meeting married women for the same reason i did
i know many people will think im awful for cheating but they werent living my life

Whole hearted agree with the above, people shouldn't be so judgmental without knowing peoples different situations.

I would like to think that I am a respected member of this community.
I have avoided this thread up to now, because I would like to keep my feeling of being respected here.
However, I am one of those people who are "playing away".
I do not choose to go into the painful reasons why this is so. Anyone I have met up with, and quite a few who I haven't met but who are friends, know my situation.
Anyone who thinks any different of me now, fair enough, that's no problem to me.
And I totally respect anyone who says that they would never do this, no matter what the situation.
As far as the poll goes, I have no feelings either way. I meet so few people that it doesn't have a bearing on me.
But I am writing this to say I agree with the OP in that there are many reasons why someone would "play away" .
Cherry.

:kiss: from me too - I admire your honesty and respect whatever reasons you may be doing so. I've said from the onset of this and other threads, I would never judge others for what they do. I personally disagree with it as I personally would not do it, I've seen first hand the hurt it can cause BUT every situation is different and I would never ever stand judge and jury on anyone who is doing it whatever their reasons.
As Jags has said, this thread is more about the catagory being introduced - I still maintain it would be wrong as people can "play away" from home if they want to without having to labelise their situation.

It seems a little strange when other sites make a very good living out of catering for the people who may be in a relationship they treasure but for one reason or another decide to play away. This site doesn't do that.
On here, these people are almost looked down on.... Why?
James

Clarification needed:
Do you want opinions about categorising/pigeonholing people further, or about why married/cheating people are looked down on? Looks as if there's people answering both bits of your initial post. Some people might feel the need to explain themselves if you want the 'why?' question answering.
Whoever they are and whatever their reason/s for cheating, there's no need to try and justify being here. Anyone who will play with you, won't need to know why.

This is such a bad idea !!! This is a swinging site not a cheating site!!!
Cheating on your partner is not swinging!!!
Only posting to support my "No" vote.
Don't wanna get into the married/playing away palaver so sticking to the topic of having a new category, I voted No 'cos as Fabio suggested, we should then have "black" category or maybe fat/thin/ginga/short/tall/fugly etc etc .... could go on forever.
As someone said, there are plenty of specialist sites that cater for people in James' situation so why not use those if this doesn't work for you? If it didn't work for me, I wouldn't hang about.
As (I think!) Jags said - there's several improvements that could be made to this site but a new category for the married/playing away isn't one of them.
cheating on partners may not be ideal, but you cant dismiss it as totally wrong with no question of any grey areas. There are many different reasons why people cheat on partners, some of them malicious and some of them purely circumstantial.
let us all say "there but for the grace of....god/allah/jehoval/the devine being/insert other here....go I, yes at the minute, we are all secure and happy in our relationships, but at ANY time it could all go wrong.
Noone plans, when they embark on a loving relationship, for it to go wrong, but it can and does happen. Its sad, but its a fact of life. Sometimes you cant get out of it so easily, so cheating is another option.
But for some people to say that its out and out wrong is not on. People may disagree, or say its something they wouldnt do, but never say never....
Whatever anyones reason for using this site, its their choice, and theirs alone. Not for anyone else to sit in judgement on, its a free country after all, and anyone can freely use this site.
To start splitting epople down into even more categories than there are now, runs the risk of making a mockery of the easy registration page that the site prides itself on. IF people wish to explain in their text that they are playing away, then they can do, if not, its their prerogative.
Its a gamble you take on this site if looking for a single male, that you get someone who is totally unattached.
*and gets down off soapbox*
ooo-errr another serious post by mrs B...I'll be ruining my reputation if Im not careful!! lol :lol:
For my Bowers park lunch date, that^^^ was for you hun kiss :kiss:
I assume that this thread has been engineered as some kind of response to Hannahrose and her thread. Where it would appear that Hannah is an openly cheating woman, marketing for sex on the site.
Two very different threads and very different response by a variety of players and the settings in which they wish to selectively and cunningly apply their debating skills. But both with the same underlying issue.
Just like me using this an an opportunity to debate a point of view.
Its unlikely that most of us are quite as open as we would like to think. Possibly here on the site, maybe in secretive meetings and sessions. But we don't put this on our cv's, we don't tell our doctors, head teachers, and many of our friends. That's cheating also. Because one is being fundamentaly dishonest with other people.
After all honesty is a free agent is it not? Its gets about whatever joy or destruction it produces?
Or at least, what you don't know, we think you don't need to know. Hmmmmmm.....? The classic cheaters response.
Cheating goes on and always will for a variety of reasons. Some more understandable than others. But its suffers from more prejudice than the deceit involved in leading a swinging lifestyle. The exposed swinger could just about carry it off and more or less live it down by carefully playing a role.
The adulterer has little or no recompense, they are condemned for life. Or seemingly so, unless they escape to a far flung flesh pot, and have a superb libido.
The reasons and consequences are just simply the price on the head of cheating, but there's also a price on swinging. We all know what those debts are and that they could be called in any day.
Swinging is adultery. Its unavoidable as a couple have decided to break the rules. Cheating involves the choice of an individual within a couple. Perhaps most are thick as thieves in their complicity. But so what? Its all about crossing lines and barriers in a variety of ways.
Where and when do you introduce selective levels of honesty and integrity without it being almost entirely what's suitable for you at that time in your life? Having forfeited one level you go on to another, because you want to , need to and in some cases have to.
And is it also about doing this in the UK, where archaic values and morals can still be invoked selectively and sometimes despicably ? Hmmmmmm....... and another hmmmmmmmm.....
Also perhaps the narrowed exclusive focus on the principles of swinging conveniently avoids the ugly subject of cheating, and many other aspects of adult behaviour; because it lurks there in the background for all the site members. In other words as long as you don't raise the subject all is well in the cuddly world. Alternatively 'you can do what you think you need to do, just don't crap on our life'. So is that an equally healthy point of view or stance to take on life issues? Well its arguable because its relevant in many personal ways.
But as far as declaring it on the site or one's profile, that appears to have been always avaliable to do, should you so wish; one just writes it into the profile or says it in an email. Again the idea of introduing a badge or recognition facility is likely to lead to the expectation that one has potentially found a soul buddy as well as a fuck buddy. Which opens up another area of debate.
Swinging heaven is a site for swingers, whether active or not.
What you are referring to (whatever it's rights or wrongs) is facilitating infidelity. That is not what swinging is about. It is catered for elsewhere.
I'm a big girl, and I understand that peoples reasons for playing away vary. That's why the sparkling new less judgemental me didn't comment initially on another thread in the forum. I didn't know the facts.

or of course a single woman. lets not think only men do this. The stats show that infact women play away more than men, but are perhaps better at keeping it confidential, perhaps not telling their mates in the pub...

Cheating on your partner is not swinging!!!

Possibly not to you, but I would hazard a guess that there are plenty who think otherwise. Before you can say what swinging isn't, you need to say what swinging is and I would think that 10 people who call themselves swingers will have 11 different views on this.
You might also argue that a single person having a relationship with a couple is wrong. This could be seen as encouraging the female member to play by herself as many female partners do.
Perhaps when Atom has been in a relationship for 20-30 years his opinions might soften a bit.
So perhaps all the couples/women/men that play with married or enpartnerd people should be made to fuck off and join dunno
I play alone, with a single guy. Theres no cheating involved.
We all get something from it in different ways. And FYI, I've been married for over 18 years.
I haven't had the chance to say :welcome: to the forums yet, so there it is.

I've been in a relationship for 21 years - that makes little difference to whether you cheat or not.

Your personal feelings in this shouldn't really be considered, rather what is right for everyone.

Yes, I've assumed that's the case and explains why I frequently get PMs from guys looking for some extra without their wife knowing then, despite saying in my profile...
Maybe I should give you a list of things I definitely don't do too!
I don't play with people who are looking for a sneaky bit on the side (seriously, I won't change my mind on this)

Seems that sometimes, what is right for people gets ignored though!
So yes, I think it's a good idea, for quite different reasons lol

No, he was simply telling you his point of view - as you asked.

This has annoyed me immensely, jameswanna, your thread is one asking for opinions, you are getting a mixed bag full of them. Please don't keep taking someones opinion and trying to change it.
Perhaps Atom has reason to say what he has AND in any event, 1 year, 2 years, 10 years, 20 or 30 years, where's the difference? dunno If it's Atoms' values to have this opinion, please respect that.
