Dan and I watched an episode of Real Sex last night. This episode was focused mainly on the swinging lifestyle, and showed a “swingstock” event that takes place every year. Basically, people meet up in a large campsite with RVs and tents and go to town with one another.
All thoughts of monogamy and body confidence issues aside… am I the only one who would worry themselves silly about the high possibility of catching an STD?!
(0)
Nope, I’d be worried the entire time myself. Although I’m not really into that sort of thing. I’d prefer to be with my man (if I had one) and my man only.
I wouldn’t even have 1 partner for fear of STD’s. Let alone multiple partners.
I like being clean..
I’m with Amy. I’m absolutely terrified of getting an STD. And beyond that, quantity does not equal quality – what if every man that is not yours absolutely sucks at sex?! Now you’ve wasted a lot of time, stretched out your hoo-hoo (yeah I said it), AND possibly given yourself some really skuzzy diseases. Good plan.
I’ve seen a few of those shows before. They’re a little off the wall.
With HPV and all that floating around, HELL NO! I freak out when a boyfriend has a “little bump” down there. With my ex I wouldn’t sleep with him until he got the bump checked out, and even then I made him wear a condom.
Whoa, I didn’t know things like that took place. Actually, STDs are the first thing I thought about after I thought about monogamy issues. That is just… wow.
I couldn’t imagine participating in something like this. I would be too scared of contracting an STD. Plus, I would be afraid of getting pregnant (condoms do occassionally break) and not knowing who the father is. That’s just insane!
I’d be afraid too. But you know what, I think some people actually hold annual events like that but really classy too. They rent out a room in a big hotel and invite lots of couples who have to arrive in formalwear. They have classy dinner and dancing before the events start.
I think they have to submit a report saying they are disease free as well as hygenically clean. So regulation is enforced. Or at least, that’s what I’ve read somewhere. =)
Yeah I’d be afraid too.
The whole thing disgusts me.
I’d definitely will be to scared of getting AIDS or any STD.

Was told to pass this around.
well for one thing swinging is just sick in my opinion.. but i do believe with most of those events they try to make sure everyone involved is tested for stds…
Hell yeah I’d be freaked haha
Ick!!!! Nooooo thank you.
haha i’d be freaked out for sure. i don’t want some random ass people touching me and giving me their diseases.
So they say they don’t have anything. Who checks to make sure they aren’t lying? What happens if you accidently get pregnant?
I’m all for doing whatever makes you happy, but things like that are seriously scary! And a lot of those people have families and children to think about. Can you imagine being the one that has to explain that to their kids if something were to happen to them as a result??? “so sorry sweetie, your mommy caught a nasty disease at this grown up party and I’m afraid the result of that was…” fill in the blank with bad news. I shudder at the thought.
I read/heard somewhere that Swingers get themselves tested regularly, so then they do not pass anything on, or catch anything….. It is not like anyone go free ballin’ having unprotected sex with someone they just me. We would use protection. Not just using condoms, but also another form of birth control so you dont get any unwanted babies, or STI’s
Ew, thats so gross. I would fear I would get a std.
I would be so worried or getting an std or aids. I would probably ask if they had been tested, or had their papers with them. LOL. And I would totally be all about safe sex in that case, if I ever did something like that…which I don’t think I would.
I’d be squicky about it, too.
How creepy would that be if you and your husband were swingers, and you got pregnant from some other guy? It’s like consensual cheating or something, lol. And DEFINITELY an STD haven. Ugh.
