Should there be a Swingers Lounge here at DU?

[rumguy]

I know that overt discussion about sex in the Lounge has been prohibited by the moderators. However, perhaps a forum can be created where DUers can share pics and make meet-up plans.

1. With restrictions to ensure the freeps don't infiltrate?

It's a great idea of yours!

I'd better clarify: Swingers as in partner swapping? Or as in some sort of 'dating service'?

[RC]

2. I think not

This is a political web site, not Yahoo

[Booberdawg]

4. I agree

[frogfromthenorth2]

11. Ah hem..... The lounge is ANYTHING but political.... But I say no also...

[Booberdawg]

3. You want a Forum strictly for swingers??

Frankly I don't think Skinner would go for that.

I personally think that belongs on some other internet sex site and not a Democratic web site.

[SOteric]

5. There are literally hundreds of places for that on the internet.

This is a political forum. Why would the Admins want to devote bandwidth to it?

[ornotna]

6. Um, No

That is just too weird and this forum is not the right place for that sort of thing. I'm not against swingers, just don't think this is the place for it.

7. Do you mean "singles" or "swingers?"

Singles is one thing, but swingers are quite another...

Anyone remember the All in the Family episode with the swinger couple that wanted to "swap" with Archie & Edith? I was 7 or 8 at the time and I remember asking my mother a lot of questions about that one...

[dweller]

15. yeh, and now we'd only have

Skinner to ask lots of questions...lots of personal, graphic, sex-laden and innuendo loaded, up-front and diirrrttty stuff.

:think:

8. I don't think so

esp if you mean "swingers" in "the lifestyle" sense. While we do engage in plenty of silliness here in the Lounge, that simply isn't the point of DU. It's a political board, we are here because we are political junkies.

If there is someone you admire, you are always free to send that person private DU mail, and if it works out, perhaps initiate an off-DU correspondence.

9. I mean it in the "lifestyle" sense...

a place for dems to organize dem orgies, etc...

[Cooley Hurd]

10. Christ... isn't GD2004 enough of an orgy for you?

:evilgrin:

[frogfromthenorth2]

12. LOL... good one!

[supernova]

13. SNARF

good one alg0912! :thumbsup:

rumguy, are you serious? You need more yahoo links, buddy. :P

[rumguy]

14. For the record, I AM JUST KIDDING

[populistmom]

16. No, that seems a bit much

People can get to know each other here if they want without all that and if they want to take something further, they can do so privately. It's one thing to occasionally talk about sex as adults. It's another to have some type of "swingers board". The lounge gets personal, but not to that extreme and it doesn't seem appropriate for this site considering the seriousness of the work that many people do here.

But maybe perhaps you could take the idea and start your own website for it. I suppose it could work.

[rumguy]

17. A "SwingingDems" website

I like that idea...

Next step would be a site that hooks up DUers with Freepers. All in the interests of national unity, of course. A place where populistmom could hook up with Az_Joe from freeperland...

[populistmom]

18. Never!

I would NEVER hook up with a freeper. Give me a little credit for taste. Please, excuse me for a moment :puke:

[rumguy]

19. Az_Joe needs your warm Dem love

I'm sure he ain't getting any now.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. How about a SCAT forum too?

For our DU'ers who don't get enough SHIT in LBN and the candidate threads? :evilgrin:

[rumguy]

21. hmmm...possibly, let's ask Skinner

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

22. OK..why don't you post it in "Ask The Admin?"

I'll live with whatever the choice is :D

And maybe an S&M forum too...I mean getting the shit beat out of me by Republicans and fellow Dems and a handful of Greens is elementary compared to the abuse I could be enjoying.

[rumguy]

23. I think I'll send a private message to the Skin-man and see what he thinks

who knows? maybe it'll happen.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

24. Hey they got a candidates forum, didn't they?

[rumguy]

25. In a world where dubya can get into the white house

anything is possible.

[TrogL]

26. There are other websites for that

[rumguy]

27. Not like the Lounge I have envisioned for DU

think about the possibilities!
