How does one recognise a fellow swinger out in the real world??

February 06 2013

How does one recognise a fellow swinger out in the real world??   This is a very perplexing and complicated question isn’t it really...? Sure it is easy on sites like this one. Here we do not use our names, instead a profile name. We choose ozzyrovers, you chose one that suits you, but our real names and other details remain hidden from the world, and so are we... So how do we recognise each other in the real world, supposing that we wanted to be recognised? Let’s face it, it is not the normal thing that comes up in a standard conversation, also it is something we like to do with a select and discrete number of people. We are also travelling around Australia, along with many fellow swingers, so apart from a large sign on our car and caravan there must be some discrete ways of letting fellow swingers know we are looking. I have been led to believe that doggers have a red ribbon on their car aerial, so maybe something along these lines. A pink ribbon is for supporters of Breast Cancer, (which we all should support), so we were thinking of a white ribbon, may be white tape or similar on the top of our car (caravan, boats, motorhome or whatever) aerials. Please add your comments and let’s see if we can get something going… Next conversation we have may be along the lines of, “like the white ribbon on your aerial, we have one too.” “Sure, let’s have a drink and see where it goes.”

    So this is why all you grey nomads have your UHF (CB radio... address/number) displayed on the back of your caravans, and we thought you were simply taking in the sights... frisky little devils. Next time I pass one of you I'll honk and flash my boobies. That oughta let you know. Like the concept, although I am pretty sure the white ribbon is already in use, must check it out. Personally I think "honk if you swing" bumper stickers would do the trick, the genuine swingers would know what it meant, most others would be puzzling over what the hell it meant and if someone took offence and had a go at you, you could just swipe it away with a "We're swing voters you dirty imbecile, get your mind out of the gutter". Or how about 'Looking for a unicorn or two' bumper stickers... y'all know what I mean.

    Although we don't take our caravan down to the local for a drink on a friday night...but it would come in handy if this idea works. could you do it with a wrist band or ribbon in the ladies hair ??

    Well we have just bought the van and are planning the trips as soon as time permits. So if someone passes us and honks the horn twice we will be thrilled. Maybe this is a sign of good things to cum. Just the horn honk would be enough. Dont need a sign. Drinks and see where it goes sounds good.

    Lol.....that's just gold, I'll never see a sign on a caravan that says "Bev and John UHF 18/40" in the same light lmfao.....as for the OP's question, truckies do a number of things to alert the lady walkers in truckstops they're available, but most commonly it's a towel on the drivers mirror :)

    what if we had a green ribbon? the only issue then is how do we know that someone doesn't just like green ribbons...? i love the idea of being able to pick other swingers in public discretely. it would make it so much more fun ;)

    RHP could sponser,bumper stickers,badges,little flags,with a Red Hot Pie logo and ''we love to eat red hot pies,do you?''....could generate some interesting and even confusing conversations...might be fun though.

    You are right the white ribbon is taken... Supporters of “Violence against women”. A damn good cause too, but properly should be for both men and women. The old adage “Sticks n stones may break my bones but whips n chains excite me," is good but violence towards anyone is never acceptable. So getting back to the subject at hand, it has been suggested that Green is available so maybe we could use that. We are trying to be discrete, “HONK IS YOU SWING” is about as subtle as a turd in a swimming pool. We need something that only other swingers would know the real meaning.

    Just a thought but how about a small pic of a chilli and a pie together.( Ini saya: "Teri panas ") Then we could get small tokens to hang on pandora bangles or necklace,or rings for girls and blokes. Another presy for the guys to buy the gals They could have rubies and diamonds in them. Geeees!!!! there I go with the marketing ideas, Ha Ha. Just dont get the chilli on any bits while having fun. Whoaa thats hot.Ha ha.Then again you could spend some time kissing it betterrrrrrrrrr.

    Dam another thought ( I know I am to old to take up new hobbies:ie : thinking) But with the pies and chilli's people may mistake you for Collingwood followers, How embarrasing.

    You can be pretty confident that when you are sucking your mans penis, and the man/women/couple you think might be swingers are playing with your clit that THEY ARE SWINGERS....

    I did a little googling and found a swingers' symbol. From what I've seen you just combine the male ♂ and female ♀ symbols into the configuration that you like, slap it on a bumper sticker and if any vanillas ask, it's about acceptance of gay/lesbian/bi-rights!

    I've enjoyed reading all the responses heh!! I do recall this topic a zillion years ago & thought that a ladybird sticker was the universal icon for swingers?? If I had a sticker choice, I would pick a unicorn wearing a saddle, martingale and reins...... Giddy-up!!!!

    I have always been led to believe that a chameleon is the universal symbol for swingers. Pink for bi sexual yellow for straight. Never seen one but we are always looking. I'm sure they could be found on the net. - Posted from rhpmobile

    We think keep the white ribbon idea going, tied to the aerial, lets start the trend, it will make for better travel right across Aus, and much more enhanced driving skills as all eyes will be on the lookout,,,it will still bring great conversation, we as swingers will enquire from now on, to anyone with a with white ribbon of some description on the aerial of there car, of course we will start every conversation with the " r u a supporter of violence against women" line, while referring to the ribbon, now the fun will be in the response,,, look its just a thought, that needs your support people, we can make this happen, lol.

    Hi   In South Africa they use a cameleon sticker on the back of the car/van/RV.   Maybe something to try here?   Cheers

    What about the stick people stickers - you could have a woman on a swing with a man pushing - Ordinary (non swinging / boring) people would think it's just a couple with out kids but people in the fun would would know what it really means - you could add more stick adults if you have a preference

    There are ppl like us who prefer a higher level of privacy. I am not sure we are minority or majority. I will prefer encrypted symbol where confirmation requires shared responsibility from both parties. To give an example what I mean. Firstly use a symbol that has dual purpose. The other purpose needs to be trivial not causing issue with conflict and popular among 5% of population. When you see this symbol...you ask them a secret question..and if you get secret answer..the verification is complete that both sides are swingers.

    Have looked at several of the symbols used and they all seem great but I go along with what has a been stated before that these may attract attention from unwanted places. So Maybe the best bet is still the white ribbon on the antenna of RV, Caravan, Car, Bike or what ever you use as transport. If someone then enquires you are able to go with non violence against women, or?   Maybe that answer is where we need some sign or message. .ie: Against Violence; and you? :Anything consenting adults do is up to them,any ideas?   What do others think, we are happy to put a white ribbon on the antenna.

    sorry Aristippusx2, I though I posted a copy of the symbol but it didn't upload. The Switch Symbol came into existence when the creator of the Symbol (“Switch”) wanted to discretely identify himself and his partner to other like-minded couples that they were in a stable, loving relationship, that allowed other equally stable people to share their sexual lives with them. Basically a symbol for the sexually adventurous, polyamorous and casually free lifestyle that they enjoyed. Or put simply, a Swingers Symbol http://www.switchsymbol.com/About_the_Symbol.html

    In the USA the idea of black rings is picking up traction. Wearing a black ring on any finger apart from your middle finger is how more and more people are communicating they are in the lifestyle passively. We (L & J) always wear our Black Rings and hope more people in Australia do the same.

    I still think the whole bunch of bananas has potential. I'm cross threading I think, there must have been another topic running on this. So I buy one banana every morning along with a chocolate, brekkie 😀 and someone suggested picking up a whole bunch of bananas as a sign of being a swinger. Well I was hanging around the banana stand the other day with this guy, we were both seductively caressing bananas, glancing at each other occasionally 😊 then the ADHD took over, I grabbed a single banana and ran off. True story, had to hurry to get my coffee 😉

    I find a 'honk if you're a swinger' bumper sticker attracts a lot of interest The black ring has caught me out on a few occasions as many men are opting for them as a wedding band. but it is still the most common. If you don't like the feel of wearing a ring or are at the beach and concerned about losing it, I can highly recommend wearing a silicone ring. We often wear our RHP or Desire caps when out and about, especially at the beach, hoping someone will pick up what we're putting down.
