How to identify a swinger?

njlp973 · 02-12-2004, 02:27 PM

General question -how do you indentify someone out in public that is a swinger. I know most what to keep a low profile, but is there signs that say "we are open to the lyfestyle"?. I heard that some wear apple jewerly or dolphine -but is that common? anyting esle?

For the most part, you are not going to know. Most swingers, by choice, keep their public personna quite separate from their private activity choices.

You may see those who behave in a friendly manner with their group of friends and think perhaps there is more to the relationship than to most couple friendhships. And you might be right. Then again, you could be wrong.

And most do not divulge their private choices to any but those who have made similar choices for themselves.

Easy. Just yell out... "I wanna swap my wife to another couple".

Anyone answers, there's a swinger for ya.

Just kidding. But no I don't know of any distinctive jewelry or "sign".

NASCA (the swinger's association) has an emblem... an apple with a bite taken out of it. I've seen one man wearing it - so far

Most of the bi women that we know have a lot of dolphin jewlery, but we don't know of any other talismans. We are looking forward to trying out the "secret handshake" soon though.

Well, if you see someone wearing a Swinger's Board t-shirt, it's a pretty good bet...

If any of my neighbours were swingers...they'd have 'caught on' to my tshirt

wrnakedru · 02-13-2004, 04:33 PM

that wasn't "vanilla", so it wasn't exactly a mystery to the other folks there.

Maybe vanilla folks would think "what an odd hobby group to form - folks who like those double slide swings"! ROFLMAO

But I don't suppose ALL are that naive - some would be bound to catch it, for sure!

So I wear my t-shirt either around here at home - or around others who won't run amok because of it.

I don't think they'd feel reassured to know it's just a "reward" for 100 posts here.

Well, I have a habit of wearing my t-shirt around the house and one day a while ago a friend of mine came over - I had completely forgotten I was wearing it

She noticed it immediately, and asked about it. I told her it was just a shirt I won on the internet. She didn't even bat an eye and moved onto the next thing that caught her attention.

I had thought that she was just being polite so the next day I summoned all my guts and whatnot and I told her everything (it's something I should have done anyway as she is my very dearest friend and we have always been open with one another). - the funny thing is that she actually hadn't thought anything of it and she was truely surprised at what I had to tell her LOL

So I guess I can thank my t-shirt for pushing me to do what I knew I was supposed to do! Thanks for the shirt, Julie.

Anyway, about the original topic here, is a dolphin a symbol for bisexuals?

Sorry...I have to discredit wrnakedru on this one....just a little...

The first time she ever came over here - back in the summer - she had that t-shirt on...walking all over the place. Miss Discretion here nearly had a stroke and died!! What were my neighbors going to think? YIKES!!

wrnakedru · 02-18-2004, 05:19 PM

They have all been very nice to me, so maybe they just thought "What an interesting new friend EBF has!"

P.S. Note to Julie: Now you know why "Miss Discretion" has never sent you her home address and size to get her t-shirt despite her almost 2000 posts on the board!

Elusive BiFem · 02-18-2004, 05:28 PM

Yeah, yeah, yeah...dumb as a piece of fruitcake, I am. And to think...here I sat...basking in my new found popularity...and all the while...all those people were hanging around hoping you would come back to visit in that damned t-shirt !!!!!

wrnakedru · 02-18-2004, 07:30 PM

I'm just trying to clarify here ... does this mean you DO or DO NOT want me to wear my t-shirt tomorrow when I come over to work on marketing strategy with you?

Elusive BiFem · 02-18-2004, 07:41 PM

"working" on marketing strategies.

Does that give you a hint as to whether you should wear that t-shirt or not?

And speaking of which...if anyone on here has any experience with marketing strategies...please, please, please PM me. I have a few questions. (or a 1000 -

)

Thanks! - EBF
