Playboy September 2008 -- Swinging

2inVT · 08-17-2008, 08:00 AM

I have only seen "F" used, not "W", as an abbreviation for women.

Mostly, I think, because when you see "W," it stands for "white."

(That never made sense to me, either - I would expect someone could tell your race from your pic, and if they COULDN'T tell, did it really matter? I have the impression that describing themself or who they're looking for by race means that the person/couple places a way higher emphasis on race than we are comfortable with. But I digress.)

I have seen m4w and similar abbreviations on Craigslist, but I wouldn't consider that a swingers site. What I've mostly seen there is men showing their dicks with the intention of enticing some woman into giving them a BJ.

(And wtf is up with THAT? Do they really think that the mere sight of their dick is going to make women line up to suck it? And what exactly are the women supposed to be getting out of this, except for the honor of being allowed to suck the mighty joy stick? Good grief. Sorry, I digress again.)

In a picky and technical world, the order of the initials does make a difference in describing who plays with whom - mfm = 2 straight males, one female; mmf = 2 bi-males, one female; etc. - but not everyone gets that nuance. So, like all things in swinging, you still gotta discuss with prospective partners rather than simply assume that they know, when you suggest an mfm, that no male play is going to happen.

Pretty sure it means women

Fun4ds is on his way to get the Sept. issue now.

I'm thinking he is standing in line or at the door reading the article now.

Dang, our copy arrived in the mail yesterday, now I'm going to have to go read it!

**ncmd_couple** · 08-17-2008, 11:29 AM

Well, I just got through reading the swinger A-Z in Playboy. I was not impressed at all. The author may have been trying to inject some humor into it, but I was not amused.

They should have interviewed Julie.....

**LFM2** · 08-17-2008, 11:51 AM

I agree Billy!! Julie could have interjected some great information!!

**ncmd_couple** · 08-17-2008, 12:06 PM

I agree that interviewing Julie would have been great, but then, I guess they figured that she would pose for them like the other gal did.

***JustAskJulie*** · 08-17-2008, 12:20 PM

I actually wrote them after the article last year and offered to be interviewed, but no one contacted me

I have to remember to pick up a copy while we are out and about today.

I'm not even sure what the target audience for playboy is these days.

**BiloxiCouple** · 08-17-2008, 01:44 PM

Maybe we should start a petition??????

It actually goes a long way toward explaining some of the screwed up questions in the past few months...

I would assume almost every person that buys Playboy does so for the articles.

I mean if you're paying for nude pics or porn these days, you're doing it wrong.
