Always seen the term used in swinging... but never quite sure what it meant.... so in a swinging context what does "exceptional" actually mean?
Are we just solely talking about ones cock size, or is it something else or a mixture of different things....because if it is something else then I really don't have a clue....
suppose that means I am not exceptional then... lol
(go on.. look at my profile and my ad now... I know ya all want to now.... lol)
Not at all bruce - stop personalising this please it's a public forum and we are all here to post/discuss subjects, not members. I've posted my opinion on a few threads this morning that are nothing to do with you either. You might want to ignore me (and feel free) but I have no personal 'axe to grind with you', I don't even know you so why would I have?
I spend most of my day dealing with the subjective Vs. objective and so personally find it a really interesting subject :P
Today is my big yourself up day and I must say at times I feel that I am exceptional , especially in the face of adversity, as far as swinging goes am more average but happy to say for who I am as an individual and who you all are as individuals are we not all exceptional people.
Exceptional means out of the ordinary, better than average, judgement of what exceptional actually is, becomes subjective as it has to be as you are making the judgement based on your personal criteria, especially so in a swinging context, when what people judge as "average" and "exceptional" can vary greatly.
In a swinging context, it must therefore be applied to mean that the person they are seeking somehow has to be "better than average". This therefore probably means someone with bigger bits, a higher sex drive and perhaps more creative mind, or a combination of all three.
Reading between the lines, it can mean that the couple just have a liking for something different, or that they have such a high opinion of themselves, or believe themselves to be so popular, that they feel only the exceptional, rather than the riff-raff, swinging cognoscenti need apply. I guess this is especially pertinent to single males who are frequently told that to even get noticed they need to be "exceptional" in some way. Kind of "There's so many of you gagging for it that we can afford to be picky" A bit like what it says my profile, albeit that is tongue in cheek.
I tend to feel how the word is used in context will give rise as to which of the two broad categories above, the people who use it fit in to.
The meaning of exceptional is pretty well understood. What we have here is a situation where we are all in a pretty unusual situation already so what is exceptional 'out there' myay not even get on the radar in here. I'm not saying we are/have better quality in here - but we certainly qualify for 'out of the ordinary'. Although that is covered nowadays by 'extraordinary' rather than 'exceptional'.
I know many would agree that, although swingers often happily have sex with many people, we can be extremely fussy about who we play with. So we expect, demand, better treatment, and outsiders may consider we require 'exceptional' in many ways.
If I saw the word exceptional used in a profile or advert in terms of needing to be such to qualify to shag the poster I would move on.
But then for me, filtering out the people you don't want to is easier than finding the people you do.
Kipling makes exceedingly good cakes
But do Fox's make exceptionally good biscuits?
I used the word in one of our adverts a while ago, and it simply attracted a load of egomaniac men who cannot see how anyone could possibly resist them. Nobody exceptional at all. I didn't consider it to be a reference to size of the equipment on offer, merely a plea for potential playmates that would be able to connect with me inside my head (as well as shag me senseless).
Bugger I missed Fluffs advert, Im pretty sure I would have made an exception.
