Decoder Rings & Secret Handshakes.. lol

[intuition897]

I don't know about everyone else here on the board, but I'm feeling kinda frisky after reading all the flamethrow swinger-bashing comments from Oprah's congregation on her message board. While we feel the need to be discrete (after all, we do have kids and jobs and family, plus our sex life is really no one else's business unless we choose to make so) we are unashamed of our lifestyle. Kinda proud of it actually. So I'm ready to show my colours... discretely. Sort of like wearing a frilly black vibrating thong under a business suit

Ok, so maybe a secret handshake is a little lame but is there someplace I could find some really good swingers jewelry? The bitten apple, for example? I've found a few other sites that have jewelry like a moveable penis pendant (it goes from flaccid to erect when you pull the string ). That sort of thing might be easily guessable to the vanilla crowd, but something like the bitten apple is an insider thing. It can be explained one way or another. Any ideas out there?

The bitten apple is the NASCA symbol. I have enjoyed wearing mine for a few years now, and it definitely gives me a thrill every day, especially when out in public and people comment on it . You can go to www.nasca.com and under the marketing link there are numerous sites where you might find what your looking for.

I really like the bitten apple symbol, it's really subtle, and not likely to be construed as some kind of sexual symbol by those who aren't in the lifestyle.

I'm still in the process of reading through the posts on Oprah's board

This is the last post I read:
What are all these online lifestyle communities about that I am reading in this thread? I've seen some sites mentioned a couple of times already. I've checked them out, and was surprised to see how easy it was to get my trial membership. I looked in my area and recognized someone I know. What's this world coming to? I'm tempted to spend the money to become a full member and find out how many of my neighbors are involved in this unacceptable behavior. I know my friends will feel the same way when I tell them about the discovery I've made through these sites. Maybe we should start a neighborhood protest to protect our children. Thank you lifestyle sites for your easy access and assistance. I'm spreading the word.

Scary.

The indignation kills me. Protect their children from what? It's not like any ody's doing anything with the children. Because of busy-bodies and lookie-loos like that, we don't have identifying pics on our profile, nor any indicator of who we are. I had to giggle when she said that she knows her friends will feel the sam way. Hmmmmm, does she really? Perhaps her friends just don't have pics up or only meet people at clubs.

She might be shocked if she only knew.
Stuff like this only reinforces the need for discretion.
Makes you wonder when people will start standing out in front of clubs
to "see who's going in".
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
Now there's a signature line

What is the link for the message boards??

Well, this certainly gets interesting. Since when is anything that adults do in their bedroom honestly any business of the neighbor's, except if it involves kids? I can fully understand the sexual offender notices, I wouldn't want my kids around those people.

A lot of swingers we know go out of their way to hide their lifestyle from their kids. It's called responsible parenting.

You know, I wonder what it would be like to put a spy-cam in this lady's bedroom and see what kind of antics she's up to in the privacy of her own bedroom.

I found the link and I would say these people are in the minority, at least in the first few pages of post.

It has been my experience that those who are the quickest to judge on religious gounds are usually guilty of more than a little "sinning" themselves.
Not always, but enough to make me suspicious, when someone wears their religion on their sleeve, they are usually trying to compensate for something.

The first few pages of the post are mainly lifestylers who posted before the show aired. If you get to the posts that start after the show aired, that's where the flames begin. I really have nothing else to do at work today . . . I'm through post 750 of 1230 right now . . .

I went back to the board and started at the last post and worked backwards for a while. I alternated between, laughter, disgust, and anger.

I have had my belief in the necessity of discretion reinforced.

Maybe we should start a neighborhood protest to protect our children.

Protect our children? What a superfluous concern! It’s obvious that the swingers in their neighborhood have never been a danger to the children before, so there’s no reason to think that they will be one now. In fact, by organizing a protest, the poster would aggravate the very situation he/she is concerned about. Their swinging neighbors had been going about their activities in a rather discreet fashion, so why call unnecessary attention to it? It’s amazing how many people lack common sense!

[hotsummers]

Keep in mind that these flamethrowers are the exact same people who are all up in arms about Janet Jackson's breast. LOL These people are terrified because sex with other people WOULD destroy their lives. While on the other hand, lifestyle'rs revel in the very activity that would totally destroy the naysayer’s relationships. People are afraid of what they can not understand. They can not relate to being 100% honest with their SO. They don’t want to hear that their spouse is unhappy with being sexually repressed. They don’t want their SO to admit that they have fantasies. Don’t be angry, just pity the poor soles because they are living in their own private hell and don’t even know it.

Aw, heck, I think that one's just a troll. It's too cliche and over the top. Someone is having a bit of fun, I think.

Anyway, let's not get all worked up about those sorts of folks. We thought they'd all approve or something? We need to protect our rights, that's for sure, but don't let 'em raise your blood pressure, they're not worth it. Besides, it's more fun to taunt them and watch them get all red-faced...not that I would do that or anything.

I don't see this on the page. I think I saw something about an anklet, anyone ever heard of this?

I saw that post too, Kat, and it scares the hell out of me. Who do these people think they are?? I've posted quite a few times there as 'cdnswing' but to no avail. It's a frightening world we live in.
