Is "very open minded" a euphemism for...

xxxboxy · 08-30-2009, 09:04 PM

I was reading a couple's profile today and they made specific mention that the guy was "very open minded"...now one would assume that anyone into swinging would have to be pretty open minded regardless so it got me to wondering if this phrase was a euphemism for bi-sexual. What do you guys think?

I believe that would be reading too much into the expression.

Agree... could be any number of things or could just be something they tossed out off the top of their head.

In my neighborhood, that's exactly what that means.

When it says 'we are an open minded couple' odds are they are just parroting the swinger profile cliches.

When it SPECIFICALLY says HE is open minded, then yes I'd say he is bi.

In my mind, if it was a couples profile and the profile made mention that the guy was "Open Minded" and it wasn't more of "We are open minded", then I'd say it probably means the guy isn't bi because he hasn't had a bi experience yet, but he's thought about it and he'd consider sexual male/male contact...."Open Minded" might be the next level above "not being homophobic"....male/male contact without sexual connotations.

It's all just a guess on everyones part here.

Ask them.

What was said before and after this statment ?

How is the male listed in the top right hand corner ?

How is the intrest level (yellow bar) listed for males ?

Would you feel right in, asking them ?

I wasn't actually that interested in the couple, just curious if it was a catch phrase that I wasn't in tune with. Not only is there a swingers lexicon but there seems to be some regional differences as well from what I've seen. This comment stood out because the comment was specifically about the guy and not the couple.

If the couple had been of interest I would definitely be comfortable enough with asking them what they meant.

Just wondering since it peaked your curiousity, Did you write and ask?

While yes I agree with the concensus.. there is only one way to know.. Isnt there?

Dont judge, until you know from the horses mouth..

I would guess he's open to Bi-Sexual activity...That would be what I would think in that context.....

Most likely, yes. Then again, some swingers are also into BDSM. You may find yourself undressing quickly and

to a woman wearing a leather corset and thigh high boots while waving around a large whip.
