I would think many folks who don't post sensitive information about themselves or readily identifying photos on swinger sites, would be very reluctant to to wear a "sign" out in public. I guess you could just claim ignorant coincidence if exposed, but.......

I agree. We've seen lots of cool shirts, jewelry, and such, but we are just not that eager to announce to the world that we have sex with other people. It seems those that want to lead the witch hunt the most would be the ones that would find out the secret symbol.

We had a party the other weekend - dinner with vanilla friends but one of them showed up without his wife (she was in TN as he was here to check the FL house for the weekend) wearing a t-shirt saying:

FRIEND (with benefits)

So either he's broadcasting to us about something or he is just being smart.
If his wife knew what the shirt meant, I'm sure she'd burn it - perhaps with him in it. For what I know of her, she gets 'spoken to' when there's not enough action in the bedroom and can't see her EVER considering swing (Mid-westerner..sleeps with the bible over her head).

I sure as heck wouldn't wear it in public unless there was a match that said something along the lines of "he's with me" with a very satisfied smiley.

Heck we could end up with just 20-30 threads going if we keep this up??!! If you want to refer back to another thread great but give us new folks a chance to post information, pose questions and start threads...thanks

Actually it happens all the time and yes I did merge these two threads and as per normal practice I did PM you when I did it to let you know that it had been done. This is the normal practice when two threads which are pretty much identical exist. We don't always catch it but when we do we do try to merge them together to keep things consistant. Most of the time noone notices or minds and understands that it helps to merge things and allows for both old and new thoughts/ responses on a subject to be in one place. If nothing else it keeps those who have been on the board a while from having to post their same thoughts over and over again.
