Perhaps you might want to consider the word in context rather than playing the pedant. Never argue with the WordMaster.

Ok so lets all notify TT1 that it needs to be stated in the rule - no swinging members allowed that will put an end to this discussion. Swinging is all about a sexually driven lifestyle and as there are swingers that are nudist most nudist are not swingers. If your a nudist and a swinger then just state your here to befriend fellow nudist and keep your sexual preferances private and join those sites that allow and adhere to that lifestyle. Lets get off the gay discussion though as that will cause more harm than good.
I"ll give you the benefit of the doubt that your hearts in the right place, but surely you can see the problem with banning members based on sexual preferences?
As long as people adhere to the rules, they should be allowed here.

Never argue with the WordMaster - I did not know Shakespeare had a profile here. What name is he using?

RE: Swinging and TN

I think a lot of people are missing what I am getting at. This thread was started because of another thread where someone got really upset with a person in the chat, discussing Swinging with another swinger, apparently. This led me to question whether or not we had the right to challenge swingers. Cleary, we have seen from NudeInMa, that we do. That is the first point.
.
The second question that I have, even if someone is discussing swinging, but it is not sexually explicit, should that be permissable? It would be nice to get a consensus on this, but I don't see the liklihood of that happening.
.
Ultimately though, I hope we can deal with this issue in a civil manor. If the person becomes difficult, then flag and leave it to administration. Thanks for your participation.

seriously, this is not the place for swingers, this is the place for honest hardworking people that don't wear clothes to come together. Don't fuck it up with stupid "weenie waggers"

Intimacy does not imply random fornication. BTW, is your intimacy with your SO strictly sexual?
Hehehehe...uh, yeah, a meaning of intimate means precisely that, fornication. And BTW, what eles are you suggesting I use that blow up doll for? Taking it out for dinner? Sipping wine by candlight, dancing to frnak sinatra...okay okay, sometimes we dance.

My humility disallows my revealing the identity of the WordMaster. Indeed, of my many transcendentally wonderful traits, my humiity is the most awesome, doubly so because of the utter lack of need for it.
Thanks for not picking on my sentence that was missing a word Mr Hathaway. I have since edited it. You truly are awesome

RE: Swinging and TN

Gayness is largely about being. Swinging is about doing.
I think you're on a very slippery slope with this statement. I'm not a proponent of Swinging, but I think that members of that group could claim that it's a variant of polyamory, and they might put forth the position that it's just as much a type of sexual orientation as Gay.
As some have mentioned a number of times previously, TN seems to implicitly encourage some degree of sexual topics simply by providing members with the ability to label their sexual preferences in the profiles. As such, Swinging could be seen by some as a sexual preference and even a type of sexual orientation, closely similar to labeling one's self as Bisexual.
What is different about it, which the author of this thread highlighted, is that there's a very heavy prejudice against Swinging by more philosophical Naturists. As others have pointed out before, this is likely because of risks associated with having nudism closely associated with Swinging -- it damages the position that nudism can be innocent of sexual intentions.
It reminds me of a news story I read about how one of the nudist villages in France had such increases in sexual activity that the dedicated, "purist" nudists began to feel threatened, and they apparently burned down a few Swinging clubs to try to safeguard their lifestyles.

1) I see a big distinction between swinging and sexual orientation. Either orientation can pursue monogomy or instead pursue sex with multiple people. My father's cousin is gay and has been with the same man from before I was born.

2) There are legitimate reasons for gays to want to talk to one another and hang out with one another other than to have sex.Just like men and women can hang out platonically so can gays. Gays will have more in common with one another andthus there is a reason why sexual orientation is out there beyond trying to hook up. A gay person might want to another to PM them because they feel like they would have more in common. However swingers by definition want to hook up with other swingers for sex. If they want to hang out platonically they are not swingers.

3) I don't care what people do in privateif they want to swing that is up to them. However, this site is supposed to be for nudists not for swingers to find other swingers or to discuss swinging. Discussing past encounters and looking fornew encounters in instrinsically sexual in nature and thus seems toviolate the rules. Reminding people this is a nudist site not a swinger site should not result in punishment.
