Abnormal sex is normal.

Recommended Posts

According to an article in the latest issue of Psychology Today about 25% or the population harbor some type of fantasy, kink, fetish or dark secret not considered normal. For instance the guy who surfs the web looking for shemale sites to get off on, or the prim and proper schoolteacher who loves getting spanked, etc., etc.. This does not include pedophiles or other types harmful to society. The good news is that generally these people are usually the adventurous and daring types who shape the world. Generally the 75% considered normal usually lead bland and uneventful lives.

 

Does that make you feel better about yourself? Does me.

Friends and I used to jokingly say "We are the normal people. Everyone else (non-swingers) are the freaks."

Depending on where one would draw the line, I think it's much higher than 25 percent. They don't call FMF "every man's fantasy" for nothing....

good to see the research proves what i often suspected.

 

for too long people have tried to put sexuality into a neat little box. well it doesn't fit neatly.

A dear friend of mine who was in the new and used car business for years used to say, 'there's an ass for every seat'. He used this to explain the sales of the Gremlin and the AMC Eagle.

 

In a sexual context this would explain alot of things that are outside of my comfort zone, like say, scat. Somewhere somebody will refer to this kink as normal. For me, not so normal...but like I said, 'there's an ass for every seat'.

 

Like socolais, I believe the numbers to be much higher even if you make the standard for normal those things that...

 

Someone please define "normal" once and for all so I can finish my point.

 

EVERBODY has a fantasy or kink beyond what they believe to be normal. If you define scat as normal I can't imagine what would be beyond normal but I'm sure that person can tell me.

Exactly... even with the difficulty in defining "normal", i'd say that the percentage is probably closer to 75% of people having a fantasy outside societies "normal", be if from racial taboo, to scat, golden showers, rough sex, anal play, or whatever.

 

the difference is the 25% quoted are those that aren't trying to "repress" those desires.

 

probably why they are the go getters as well... if you don't have the courage to ask for a finger up your arse while recieving head, you probably don't have the fortitude to make the tough calls required to be a go getter.

What is normal, anyway? According to Dictionary.com:

nor·mal Pronunciation[nawr-muhl]

–adjective

1. conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.

2. serving to establish a standard.

 

Hmmm . . . We, as swingers, really aren't a "standard or common type". Even within the lifestlye, there are so many variations. Mr. Sweet's and my variation seems pretty natural to us, though.

 

As for establishing a standard, we attempt to do that with our various terminologies ("soft swing", "full swing", vanilla, etc.), but often fall short because each term is still relatively subjective.

 

So where does that leave us? Still in that 25%, if the statistics are accurate . . .

Just remember.. When guaging whats normal to use YOUR own yard stick, not someone elses..

 

Next more important question.. Who exactly is the ruling party to say Who is or Isn't normal..

 

How about a bit of Do you recall...

 

Jimmy Swaggart?

Jim Baker?

 

Card Carrying members of the Moral Majority..

 

Hmm.. Exactly how many shadows did thier flashlights hide?

 

Seen the latest commercials for direct TV.. the cable company board sitting around and the brillant exec throwing the line

 

"90% of all figures can made to say what we want, 50% of the time.."

 

So, to some up.. Normal... ACCORDING TO WHO?

According to an article in the latest issue of Psychology Today about 25% or the population harbor some type of fantasy, kink, fetish or dark secret not considered normal.

 

Does that make you feel better about yourself? Does me.

 

First: I think it is probably higher than 25%. I believe due to the pressures of general society and what general society as a whole portrays as expectations, several people would not admit to harboring such fantasies even in a closed anonymous setting out of fear of being an outcast in their social circles. Among other kinks, I enjoy giving spankings and receiving on occasion, and I consider myself an average guy.

 

Second: In reference to individuals kink fetish or secret not considered normal: We really need to look at what normal is really defined by, the norms or acceptable behavior or ideas on how to conduct oneself by the individuals, environment, and population around those individuals with the "kink" or "fetish". You have to consider that as we live our lives from day to day all of these things change because of the way most swingers (well most non-swingers also) need to compartmentalize their lives (work compartment, family compartment, extended family compartment, vanilla friends compartment, neopolitan friends compartment, etc). I've found that norms or accepted behavior in one group of freinds may not be acceptable to other groups of friends (you can tell this just by the reactions of some friends when you integrate different compartments of friends). So point is normal for most individuals constantly changes.

 

Third and Finnally (to sum up first and second): Even though I realize normal is relative to where you are with respect to what compartment you're in, I still have that fear of non-acceptance as many do (but most don't admit their fears, and if I'm odd because I do admit them, so be it). However, with the article that shows that many have fetishes or kinks of some sort, it does make me feel better. And, it should give others confidnence in the activities they want to engage in, and reduce fears of non-acceptance.

 

Note: Don't get me wrong, and go into work thinking you can tell them about how you spanked your wife or what ever your fetish is. You may find yourself without a job or no longer in some groups of freinds that aren't as open-minded.

 

That's my 2 cents ........+ a nickle....

For me, "normal" means "harmless and consensual". If what you want to do doesn't physically injure anyone, doesn't make anyone sick or inappropriately pregnant, doesn't deliberately upset or offend anyone, doesn't threaten or disrupt anyone's relationship, and isn't initiated or maintained by deception, coercion, or exploitation, then it's "normal", no matter how unconventional it might be.

The norm is different for every group of people. Even in a group of friends there are norms. Things that are and aren't accepted among those people. I just choose not to compare myself to anyone else. I will always be normal when compared to myself, lol.

Hmmmm... Now I have a reputation as a 'kinky poster'. Is that good or bad?:EG:

 

I'd say being bad is pretty darned good... but maybe I'm the wrong person to ask ;)

      Every once in a while I read through a thread or hear about certain things that people enjoy sexually and I can't help but think "ICK!". I definitely understand that everyone has different tastes and turn ons, so that's not the thing, it's just that it's something I can never imagine myself doing and to be honest the idea of it kinda grosses me out.
       
      So, I figured if there are things that make me go "ICK!" then there are things like that for others. So what kind of things make you "ICK!"... not a judgmental thing or saying that they are wrong for doing it, but it just grosses you out and you know you wouldn't want to try it.
       
      For me the one I see most often that does it is ... well make that two.....
       
      Bukkake and Snowballing... ICK!
       
      So what's your Ick!?
    • By RobLuver
      Hello everyone! I've been reading this board for the past couple of weeks and decided to post some questions to the community. Most of my questions have been answered by reading the posts. Maybe you can help me with a few others.
       
      -----------------
      Question 1:
       
      From the subject line, you know that I love to smell women's butts. There is nothing that turns me on more than a woman with a dirty, sweaty butthole. Especially when a woman has a nice round butt. It is so animalistic and turns me in to a wild sex animal! No joke, I love to smell butts. I got hooked on it when I was around 14 or 15 and became sexually active. I'll always remember the butt smell that would rise when I took off a girls panties. It has become linked to sexual arousal to me, much like Pavlov's dogs. When I think of sexual activity I think of the scent of a woman's butt.
       
      I don't like poop. But I love a woman with a dirty, sweaty ass.
       
      I think there's probably other men out there with that fetish. Most of my former girlfriends have been disgusted when I told them that I like to smell their butts. They usually let me though. Sometimes I'll request that they not bathe for a day or two or longer so their butt is nice and stinky! Then I spread those ass cheeks wide and rub that anus all over my chest. One time a former girlfriend didn't bathe for almost a week--we 69'd for an hour. A few one night stands I've had I've told the women that I wanted to smell their butts. Just telling them that is a turn on in itself because I never know how they'll react, if they'll be cool with it or if they'll freak out (one former girlfriend got turned on by me smelling her asshole). Often, I don't tell them and just do it anyway. Usually if you meet a woman at a bar who is actively looking for sex she's going to be clean and there will be no scent.
       
      Are there any women swingers out there that would accommodate a request from a swing partner to be dirty so he could smell her butt?
       
      ---------------------
      Question 2:
       
      From reading this board I've learned that there is little emotional attachment to the sex that occurs between swing partners. Most of the women are loyal to their men other than the fact they have sex with other men.
       
      Do any swingers swap wives or girlfriends for an entire night or weekend?
       
      I would love to borrow a man's wife for an entire weekend of nonstop sex.
       
      ----------------------
       
      Questoin 3:
       
      How do I suggest swinging to my girlfriend? I'd be interested in 2 girls, and swapping with another couple. But I am a firm believer in the 1-wiener rule. No other penises in the room but mine.
       
      My girlfriend is great. We've been together for about 2 yeras. But there is no future. I am not going to marry her. I'm certainwe will be friends after we break up. So since I'm not going to marry her, I thought maybe she could be my passport to pussy.
       
      Should I come straight out and ask her if she'd be interested in swinging? (She'll probably say no.) Should I joke about it and see how she responds to jokes? Should I show her this website and let her read it for a few weeks to desensitize her to the thought?
       
      Odds are against her being for this. So I want to bring it up in a way that is the least likely to get a flat out "no". But regardless of what she says I'll respect her decision.
       
      ----------
       
      Question 4:
       
      My ultimate fantasy would be to go to a hotel party with 6 or more other couples and randomly draw names out of a hat to choose partners that we'll have sex with and then go back to our rooms and get it on.
       
      Do these kinds of things happen? I heard that it used to be popular to randomly choose partners in the 1970s.
       
      ---------
       
      Question 5:
       
      Another fetish of mine is cumming on a woman's face.
       
      Is cumming on a woman swinger's face acceptable? Does this happen? Do any women out there reading this let guys cum on their faces? What would happen if the woman said no and you did it anyway? Sometimes I get a thrill out of doing things that I'm not supposed to do!
       
      Do women swingers swallow? That's a huge turn on too.
       
      Do you women let guys do this when you swing or is it a "husbands" only thing?
      ----------------------------
       
      Question 6:
       
      Spanking. Do any of you females out there like to be spanked? Does spanking occur? I know there are a few women out there who like to be spanked, because I've had them.
       
      I'd love to be in a situation where I spank a man's wife and he spanks my girlfriend and we spank the hell out of them. I spank his wife. He then tries to one-up me by spanking my girl. Then I spank his wife harder. He spanks my girl harder. Oh yeah that would be fun!
      --------------------
       
      I'm sure I have other questions that I can't think of right now.
       
      Thanks for your input, especially you females out there.

      I find that there are actually quite a few "lifestyles" presented here and that often some feel that they can't be open about their choice because it isn't the primarily accepted one. At one point I think the poly people here felt that way, hopefully they don't anymore... I'm wondering if this may also be true of those who enjoy cuckolding.
       
      If this is something you enjoy, please post your thoughts and share with us what turns you on about this idea, and (if you act on it) how you go about acting on it.

      My wife is really uptight about her sexuality to the point where it hinders even are regular sex life. Any suggestions on how to open her up?
       
      I am interested in a swinger type lifestyle. She isn't totally opposed to it, like she doesn't straight up tell me no way in hell when I mention a threesome, but she is not emotionally ready for one because of her uptightness.
       
      The other night was the first time she was even willing to put on a show for me and masturbate after 2 and a half years of marriage. She is uptight enough that she has a hard time getting wet because she is too worried about how she is whether I'm enjoying myself etc. etc.
       
      How do I get her to open up and more sexual?

      I was reading this thread: Must be Bi-Male Month and ran across this comment:
       
       
      I let it roll around in my head for awhile, trying to imagine what legal activity (I emphasize legal, because I'm not talking about things like Tijuana donkey shows ) would make us find a new club. Over the years, I've seen a lot of things, including guys taking it up the ass (their wives/girlfriends were pegging them, mostly), blood play (yay for plastic sheeting) and fisting (I recommend Black Dragon gloves for those without latex allergies).
       
      There are certainly things I don't even like to watch (yes, DP, I'm talking about you) and specific fetishes that I'm squeamish about, but I can't think of anything that would have us packing up and moving on to another club. I don't think that's being overly tolerant or anything, but I do wonder. What could other people do sexually that would make you leave a club and never go back?
