name for non-swingers

teknurse · 07-17-2003, 09:12 PM

What do you call couples who do not swing?

One group of our swinging friends refer to them as civilians and another refer to them as vanilla.

The most common thing I've heard them referred to is "straight" folks/people/etc

Ditto Julie - most we know refer to the non-swinging majority as "straight" people.

By contrast, they refer to those of us who do swing as "crooked".

Crooked, therefore is good - very good.

And straight - well, beware, they can be very vicious if they get the least little bit of an inkling that you are crooked!

Non Swingers..... might be called "Muggles". Or not. "Straight" seems to work, though.

As far as being 'not-straight'..... We've always said 'Bent'. We've also used 'Kinked'.

We refer to them as "straight"......as do most of our friends who swing. As in, "we went to dinner with a few of our straight friends the other night..." It seems to come up that way in conversation.

Which of course would make us swingers...... Wizards.

If JK Rowling only knew how we were misusing her words...lol.

Hmm. Interesting terminology. We usually just say "non-swingers".

Doesn't "straight" have a different connotation, i.e., not bi? How about calling them "old-fashioned" or "losers" since they know not what they are missing by confining the sexual interaction to between husband and wife only. They are indeed losing half the fun of living this life by refusing to enrich the sexual experience by indulging in sexual intercourse with someone other than one's wife/hubby?

If losers sounds too derogatory, old-fashioned will do nicely.

It is a matter of perspective. I could have a perfectly monogomous relationship and feel like I am missing nothing. It would depend on the person of course. If she was totally my type and just didn't want to swing then so be it. That wouldn't make us losers.

Some people would say you are missing "half the action" by not being bi-sexual. It may be fun for some, but not for others. I know many very nice couples that would be devestated if there spouse even considered swinging. It would be so traumatic they would probably lose what they have.

Its like anything else. If you like it then its cool, but not everyone does.
