Smokers - am I unreasonable?

July 24 2015

My partner and I sometimes go to swingers clubs in Europe. She likes the idea of a partouze and I am receptive to that, and, obviously I want to be there. I have asthma and find the smell of cigarette smoke on people's breath difficult to deal with. My partner's view is that she should be allowed to fuck anyone she likes and that I should just put up with the stink of smokers. Am I unreasonable in suggesting that we should play with nonsmokers only?

    Its not unreasonable at all. Im a smoker, and totally respect a non smoker's choice to not get intimate.

    and don't play with smokers for the same reason as you .... not to say that I can't be friends with smokers just not intimate. As a caring and respectful partner she should consider your preferences so you have every right to ask. LG

    and being around smokers makes my eyes water and my nose block up. I don't think you are being unreasonable as this isn't just a dislike it's a health issue.

    You left out the "frustratingly argumentative". I've been in your company many times and you are very polite and don't smoke around non smokers. I have lts of friends who smoke but I couldnt be with someone who smoked because of my health. OP I think your partner is being a teeny bit selfish.

    its a definite deal breaker for us.......I can't think of anything worse.......oh maybe stale alcohol.......... I think sharing your body with someone is an intimate sensual thing, I would want to feel, smell and taste as fresh as I can.....would rather leave that as a memory as opposed to an ashtray.........but each to their own......

    as an on and off smoker, I understand both sides. When I'm off, don't get the stuff, the smell, or anyone who smokes near me. When I'm on, I fully understand why people don't like it. It's a foul smell and let's be honest, who wants to make out with an ashtray? Certainly if the smell triggers your asthma, in my humble opinion your wife is the one being unreasonable given it's a health issue. NN xxx - Posted from rhpmobile

    Partouze,which is French for gang bang..A different situation I think to a threesome or even foursome..I have no idea how or why smokers or non smokers would factor in to this situation ...but I guess you won't be kissing any of the participants..your profile is locked so I have no idea of your sexual proclivities OP..but good luck in your search for a non smoking GB team xxFreya

    Stirry on this one, although mine's a slightly different demographic than the OP as I'm flying solo (and crashing and burning, as the case may be!). But I don't think, if playing with a partner and she said she could do what she liked and I could just put up with anything I found objectionable, that I would find that acceptable. If - and hypothetically, mind - I was told to just put up with toothless, halitosis-ridden people to play with while my (imaginary) partner took on the buffed up other half of the other crew... I reckon I might have a few words to say. It's supposed to be a great experience for all four people. - Posted from rhpmobile

    ...and still think that quitting is one of the most responsible things I've ever done.I dont detest the smell...I quite like the aroma of burning tobacco, in fact. Not so much cigars though.But it's not a deal-breaker for me at all...I don't care for stinky cigarette breath either, but being a smoker doesn't mean your breath has to stink. It just takes a little effort on their part to avoid being offensive. Political correctness can go shove...if I'm with someone who want's to have a smoke to unwind, then good for them...I'm not going to run inside to save my 2 extra minutes of life from second hand smoke. But these choices are individual even in a relationship...of course it's not unreasonable to put your own priorities first. That's the beauty of free will.

    Kissing someone who tastes or smells like cigarettes is revolting to me. I generally wont play with smokers, although I do make exceptions if they have had a mint or something, and don't stink like smoke. I don't bother with anyone on here who is a smoker, its too much of a turn off. Yuck.

    ...it's often considered icky to lock lips with one who smokes...shame on them. But if lips and tongues have been shoved up anus's, in vaginas and wrapped around penis's then that's not worth mention. Because that's a lot more hygienic...right? Or maybe that just tastes better....and that's what the fuss is all about.

    Nothing is unreasonable, you have every right to want what you want. The problem is off course if your wife agrees with your request. Its not about the reasonableness of a request, it is about the reasonableness of the demand you put on other people to do what you want. If she says she wants to play with smokers, and you say no, there is going to be an issues. We all have expectations, but that goes both ways and will require compromise. So what is reasonable, that you don't compromise and its your way or the highway, or is there a middle ground. The merit of the cause is not at issue, it is the compromise that you expect from your wife, and she of you. That can only be solved via comunication

    Feels like there is some context is missing in your question, as it seems too simple. Of course what your deal breakers are on a sexual partner, whatever they are, are yours and should be respected. But... Then I googled partouze ... a gang bang. So I wonder what you're idea of this scenario is, for you and your wife. It might make some difference on whether someone is a smoker or not. Is it going to be that it your wife that is the focus of multiple partners, with you by the side? You state you don't like it on their breath - fair enough (me too!) but will you be kissing these people, or just your wife? Or is it just fucking and no kissing, are you apart of the scenario and mainly watching? Has this been a difficult idea to organise, and now smoking seems (to your wife) non important to get the thing up and running? Draw me a picture LeClerc

Maybe I have particularly sensitive smell and taste senses, but it doesn't matter how many times a smoker brushes their teeth or how many mints they consume, I can still smell / taste it. It just seems to infiltrate right into people's pores or something. Nothing can hide it, but maybe that's just me.

He states he finds the smell of cigarettes on people difficult to deal with, and you saying he "should be ok with it" if he's not the one fucking the smokers is dismissing his feelings, imo. For some people just being in a closed room with smokers is enough to affect their breathing, myself included. (And they don't have to be smoking at the time).

    I am allergic to cig smoke i can smell and taste the toxins oozing for a person's skin no matter how many times they have tried to clean themselves. And even worse is when they try to cover it up with perfumes which i am also allergic to. So I wont meet a smoker even the "occasionals". Also it is a respect thing if you have a few boundaries to your open relationship that should be respected neither partner should be doing anything that upset or makes the other one uncomfortable. Afterall you are still meant to be a partnership even if your sex life is liberal.

Are the non-smokers here claiming to have higher standards or more noble beliefs than they do? What does that mean? Unless you're referring to this: Quoting 'Koolgrey'The pastime of smoking has been so tarred with the brush of distaste these days that I think some will just say what they think their peers want to hear. But then what does following the herd with opinions about a behaviour have anything to do with any of the above? According to that logic people averse to smoking actually do have higher standards or morals, and those paying lip-service are pretending they do too. I've heard no one say they're better people in any way than smokers.

    I think you're reading too much into this one. What do you think is a major reason that smoking is increasingly frowned upon? In addition to the health issues, it's because a lot of people hate the smell and taste associated with it. So it's not surprising that a lot of people are saying that here. I really don't think it's a herd mentality thing in this case. It would be different if people were claiming some sort of moral superiority to smokers, but they aren't. They are expressing their distaste for the habit, not the person. I think you may be confusing the two.

    I could have started with "I think smokers STINK". It is my personal opinion. I feel sorry for the Op that he has had to put up with his partner's wants, at the expense of his health. I imagined myself in a similar scenario and what it would be like and how I would feel. And I would not like it! I don't judge people by the fact that they smoke, but I'm certainly not interested in sharing a bed with them anymore. And from my experience, Having played with smokers and non smokers alike, I think a smoker's juices taste much worse. My opinion only. MrsSAF

    I call it, Luck Dragon. Remember when Paul Hogan use to campaign too the tourist industry representing the Australian way, 'Throw another shrimp on the barbie', 'anyhow have a Winfield' It was once whoever won the advertising rights with the footy with cigarettes became the most palatable or addictive too the crowds'n kids, NSW.. Winfield, Victoria had Viscount too, Queensland, can't remember but Mullumbimby Madness was a hit. When it became frowned upon, I saw that the chemicals that were being put into tobacco (sulphates in our systems and out of our pores) in which helped the tobacco burn faster and at a hotter temperature for delivering the nicotine into our system. So we became healthier smokers and took too aromatic roll your own tobacco with rolly papers without the blue stripes. Use too be able to purchase cigarettes for 5c each at the local milk bar at 13years old. We have paid so much tax on tobacco that it's not fair to say we have not contributed to the health thing either. Sometimes we are objectified for something that was the Australian way.

    I really don't want to get into a big debate over all the intricacies and hypocrisies (yes I know they exist) when it comes to smoking and its history. That's all beside the point I was making anyway. You can smoke, that's your prerogative. But there's no point taking it personally and getting all offended when people say they don't like how it smells and tastes, and how it makes other people smell and taste. As we say about other issues all the time on here, people have the right to exercise their preferences and choices. You do it when you smoke, others do it when they say they don't want to play with smokers.

I've found that the smokers I've had sex with in my life (say 10 or so), had very bitter tasting sperm compared to the non-smokers. A personal observation, and it could have been coincidental (after all, I think all of them drank milk and ate meat too), so hardly scientific. Still, I've decided I don't want to sleep with men and women who smoke, which says nothing about how I see them as humans.

    Just the smell being on their clothes or in their hair is enough to set off my asthma. I've been to a couple of meet and greets where I have ended up in hospital, because I've been exposed to smokers - I usually don't bother going now because of this reason.

    Not a smoker myself but have smokers for friends. Ruling out smokers in general is like ruling out people with brown hair, it doesn't take into account WHO they are and the benefits of their company and value as a human being. Remember, as unpleasant as the after effects are, it's just a smoke, they're not even committing a crime. We all have our vices and addictions, they just manifest in different ways. Smokers deserve some respect too if we truly believe in a society where we can exercise freedom of choice. Mountain out of a molehill IMO. With the exception of the highly allergic, who are very rare. For those of you who are writing off an amazing experience or connection with someone because of a slight smell or taste, you could be making a mistake.

    I hate smokers too and I rarely interact with them intimately, however, if it does not bother your wife she kind of has just reasoning to ask to fuck whom ever she pleases as you don't have to be that close to their breath when she is playing. She should however respect your want to minimise the contact with smokers and try to bring non smokers to your personal space. Being Europe it would be hard to find non smokers especially in non vanilla circles. Booze always helps to mask and forget the disgusting taste and smell. I enjoy kissing so if they are smokers I will kiss her lower lips instead and avoid face to face contact as much as possible.

With the exception of the highly allergic, who are very rare. For those of you who are writing off an amazing experience or connection with someone because of a slight smell or taste, you could be making a mistake. Thank you CT. My feelings exactly. Mountain out of a molehill...and it's all about personal choice. I will not set such petty boundaries on who I meet. Pills taste like shit too...doesn't seem to stop people taking them.
