Is Media good or bad for the community?

 

Speaking to a fellow pair of swinger podcasters this afternoon and while discussing their experience on the most recent Channel 4 television program about swingers, and this was one of my responses to him during the brief conversation we had on Instagram. I honestly thought it was so funny, so i thought it was best I do a quick blog about it... 

The message read.........

'TV programs are good at getting certain unknown subjects into the public domain, which 100% needs to be done in order to normalise it. And I suppose the more the vanilla part of the world are exposed to certain aspects of it, the less it remains shocking to them. But people still get so triggered by it all, you can litterly see it in interactions and responses. Its even more funny to watch in real life interactions, when we come across telling people in real life.

I was referring to how the media desensitises certain taboo subjects by making them out to be worse than they are. A fine example was how in the 70's (which was actually the 60's- I made a slight mistake there) there were quite a few movies coming out which portrayed men who dressed up in female clothing out to be psychopaths..(The film Psycho was where I was going- but again couldn't retain that in the moment-so but he corrected me) Yet most recent research has shown the complete opposite.. That TS 'a and TV' s are actually rather very gentle men, Not psycho killers (which falsely influenced a whole generation into believing) and the Jaws films are a 2nd example of how misinformation within the media (as in films) can brainwash people. Jaws made a whole generation (possibly even more) Because many who watch it to this day are still being tricked into believing that sharks are aggressive killers,  when in reality they are not..



----The end of the response. 

Good old media hey.

Introduction to swinging

Although I've been swinging for 12 years, still to this day, the sheer excitement the swinging life produces is still so raw and beautiful. From arranging the meet to enjoying it in the moment, the excitement and buzz I get from the chasing (arranging the meets) and the sex, it never goes away. I am on the scene now as part of a couple. Paul is that other half, that final missing puzzle peace and although there has been somewhat ups and downs regarding boundaries and at times jealousy. I need to continuously remain mindful of the fact that we are in love and we're both only human. Although they may not feel nice at times, even the negative ones have a purpose. (And at times are even more important as the positive ones to ensuring our survival as a species)  me and Paul :)  The adrenaline which propels those butterflies in my stomach while I'm on the way to a meet still happens. And even if its a 1-1, or a 3way, a 4way or a club/party scenario, you can bet 100% t

1st time a guy had come in me all over another mans cock :-)

So after wondering round a supermarket fooling around, seeing who could accidently hit the most bums, me and Paul went to pick up Alan. Alan was a bi-sexual guy I was seeing five years ago and he just magically appeared on fab and when that happens I see it as a clear sign to get him round for a bi mmf 3way. After getting confused on where to pick him up from, we finally found ourselves on the correct road and as Paul calmly went on his phone, I found myself getting nervous. Don't get me a wrong, it was an awesome nervous/excited feeling but you would think that after 12 years of doing this, the biochemistry within my brain would have built some sort of resilience to it but no I was very excited/nervous indeed! As I saw his face appear from the back of the car, I focused on how handsome he was and a few past memories came bubbling up inside my mind. 'Is it okay to smoke in your car?' he polity asked. expeditiously 'Of course it is' me and Paul confirmed. S

Wife of a bi man, my true liberation.

I've no doubt mentioned it to most probably everyone I've ever come across on the scene .You know the people that we actually get to know - and not just shag... Although let's be honest, with my constant verbal diarrhoea, there's probably a high chance I've already told you during a shag, or an orgy.. (Which if that's the case, you may want to skip past this post; wasting one's time reading something you already know is never a good thing but then again. I've always been able to better explain myself writing, as verbally was always quite difficult. (you can blame the dyspraxia and social stigma for that)  Hehehehe....  But when I first started to watch porn - and use it to actually properly wank and not just laugh mindlessly at it, the whole thing was such a taboo thing at the time, that I had to constantly hide it. The shame would consume me at times, even though I knew deep, deep down - that there was possibly nothing to be ashamed about! I still felt
