We see that a lot from attractive women on regular dating sites. Does someone's politics have a bearing on whether or not you fuck them? We have a strong aversion to people who blather on about "woke" but maybe that's an attractive characteristic for some. |

Well if someone is an extremist either way it'd probably put me off (E.g a genuine nazi or hardcore communist), but usually politics doesn't have bearing on weather I find a woman attractive/want to date her 🤔 |

"We have seen this too. We tend not to get involved in politics with others. If we did we'd probably have no meets at all  "
Exactly the same as us.. if someone started on about politics when we was having a social that would end it pretty fast. |

We have had to step back from a friend who brings politics into everything. They know we don't agree with their views but they keep talking about stuff. It makes our encounters uncomfortable.
So if someone mentions politics on their profile or insults people who have different opinions to them we don't really want to meet them. |

Well Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem sail pretty close to the Genuine Nazi border but I bet you'd jump into bed with both of them |

I don't care about peoples politics but I do care about how they speak about people. That often rules out rabid tory voters, but similarly raging left wing lunatics who think that anyone who doesn't agree with them is a 'phobe of sorts. |

The only good Tory? A lavatory.
Politics stays out of our playtime but we don't meet reform, fash, racists or any other right wing types. Not that it has been an issue probably as our bio is very clear. |

Mostly I think it's just a flag to keep those kind of people away.
Mostly, I don't know or care about the person I fuck's political leaning. But if someone is behind enough of the political policies to consider themselves a Tory, we're probably not going to get along, and since I prefer to actively like the human I'm fucking rather than just their exterior, it would mean no fuck was forthcoming. So it would save time to have it on there 💜 |

This is a real bug bare of mine. I’ve known plenty of Tories or people that vote that way that have been genuinely nice people. Likewise I’ve know plenty of Lefties that have been horrible. It’s ok to have a different political opinion, in fact it’s much better than having no opinion at all but no one ever says ‘no abstainers due to apathy’. Having said all that I also have to concede that it’s each to their own. |

I met someone who was initially a really beautiful
soul until I told them I kept bees. They turned from angelic to demonic in a matter of moments and stormed out.
I’m assuming from the barrage of language that spilled forth that she was probably a militant vegan.
I hope she finds someone who makes her smile and can help with the anger she carries with her everyday.
The world would be much nicer if we weren’t so reactionary to other opinions or life choices. |

I'm struggling with this
Surely everyone agrees we need bees as THE vital component in the food cycle? |

In a club I'm hardly likely to interview people on their politics before having sex with them, but given the widespread anti-trans hysteria spouted by so many on the hard right, I feel I need to protect myself from that attitude & frankly, potential violence.
So, any profile with a hint of right wing views is one I will avoid interacting with for my own safety. |

Most people I've met have been fairly non-tory.
Weirdly the one's I've met who are generally like to reveal their opinions post sex.
And... that's how you get a block and a never meet again. (If you're tory...)

Seen it a couple of times, think the oddest one someone put was “I won’t fxxk a golfer”. Ok, bills too small.
We keep away from politics if people start. |

We would find it difficult to relate with somebody who had completely opposing values to us. A thought-out, position expressed respectfully is one thing. A Trumpist likely lives in a different reality. |

I just tell people if they start going on politics. Views / gender / woke etc thst I am not interested in their views intelligence on this mommy require their bodies to have sex with in a no brains required scenario. It’s purely just physical nothing more.
This has shut some social meets down with them

We don't have a huge amount of experience but something that has surprised us is how important the post-fuck vibe is. We want people who we like to be around - someone we can go to the pub with. Extreme right wing views would be a massive turnoff.
Not saying every Tory has extreme right wing views. |

"For just fun it probably wouldn't. But, if my views were miles apart from someone else's & I was looking for dates leading to more then their views and outlook would need to be similar to mine. "
This. I've distanced myself from friends who have exhibited questionable (imo) politics, so if it was a potential regular/fwb then it would be an issue... but it wouldn't necessarily put me off a one-off meet as long as they weren't extremist views... |

Tory, Reform, right-wing types or anyone quoting Andrew Tate aren’t people I’d spend time with, let alone inside me.
It isn’t about party politics. It’s about core values. I need to trust, respect, and actually like the person I’m sharing my body with. If we don’t align on the basics, nothing else matters.
So no, I wouldn’t knowingly sleep with a Tory. I have standards. |

Exactly this.
People with those views often stridently deny the right of trans people's existence. Why would I knowingly entertain these people in my life? |

I've got this on my profile and use it as a filter to keep cunts away. I don't actively ask about it in general, but if someone brings up their tory views around me, their odds of riding Phil's sex rod dramatically increase to zero.
I prefer to have at least a little respect for the person I'm being intimate with. |

For dating it absolutely matters. If I have very different politics to someone then we likely don't share the same core values. My personal politics are important to me. I am one of those "no tories, terfs, bigots" women
With just sex it matters less, but if someone was full of hatred/bigotry I still wouldn't want to shag them. |

As a society we seem to be increasingly intolerant with people who have different opinions to us. I have friends who have fell out with each other over stupid things like brexit and have barely talked since.
This is a sex and swinging site, it blows my mind you wouldn't fuck someone you found attractive because of a political opinion. |

I think the point is, for some people, a person's opinions can make them unattractive. |

The key issue is where you draw the line between a harmless difference of opinion and something more serious. Not liking coffee is a difference of opinion. Supporting views or policies that harm already marginalised groups is not. That’s not just personal preference, it has real-world consequences for people’s lives.
Personally, I don’t find those kinds of views attractive. It’s not about needing someone to agree with me on everything, it’s about fundamental values. If someone’s opinion involves denying others dignity, safety, or equality, then no, I’m not going to fancy them. Desire doesn’t exist in a vacuum. For me, ethics and empathy are part of attraction.
Yes, this is a sex and swinging site, but that doesn’t mean compatibility starts and ends with physical appeal. For many of us, it includes shared respect, integrity, and the ability to not be a danger to others.

The only ones I avoid are those who are clearly and openly extreme. Anyone who says they won't meet 'Lefties', Tories etc. are basically telling me to avoid them.
It's a case of telling me they're a Bigot, while trying to make out they're not. Laughable. Massive swerve! This world is supposed to bewelcoming and inclusive, but the general politics, along with 'swinging politics' are rife.
Can't be arsed with any of that rubbish. |

No chance. If you’re just fucking someone, you’re an idiot if you want to talk politics. This scene is not about daily life choices. It’s about enjoying something that literally existed before politics was even a consideration in the human brain. |

It’s very cringe. Personally, i grew up on the receiving end of a lot of division and hatred in my younger life. So I know what a bad person is, and it’s nothing to do with being a tory or labour supporter.
I find it a total turn off when people want to stir up even more division over something so minor. The people that write that kind of stuff are totally out of touch with reality, and have a lot in common with the bad people I saw growing up. (The irony is that the people expressing “no this, no that” probably think they’re the good ones). |

This!
Also anyone who believes that anybody that isn’t a Tory or further right wing is immediately a “Leftist”.
Add to that anyone that immediately brands any sort of idea that doesn’t marginalise a section of society or actually helps a disadvantaged community as “woke nonsense”.
If lacking basic human empathy or political extremism is your thing, then I want nothing to do with you. You might be beautiful on the outside, but you’re ugly to the core |

I'm not a fan of the Conservatives, I don't vote for them and I've massively spoken out and active against them. I am after all an active Trade Unionist. However do I hate Conservatives, no. Do I think all Conservatives are bad people, no. Do I recognise the party is a broad church with not everyone being behind the direction of the leadership all the time for good or bad reasons, yes. I am not here for the politics of division of everyday people through partisan politics.
So in general when I see something like no Tories it's a bit of a red flag. I like to take people as I find them and they are more than just the political party they voted for. As much as I don't find being a Conservative an endearing feature as such I also don't find being so ignorantly judgmental on partisan lines an endearing feature either. I much prefer to take people by a more in depth veiw of their words, deeds and souls than buy into a world were the class of the everyday people is divided by blind partisanism. And in all fairness if I adopted an aproach of banning Tories from my life I would have to get rid of some good freinds. Personally I prefer to have those freindship and continue to show them they're wrong.

Depends on how extreme they are though but if they were on the more right side of the divide and going by their oft shared views on women and what they can't or can't do with their bodies it's highly ironic them even being on here ? and read somewhere that the trumpers staffers etc ect were moaning women/men wouldn't talk to them as soon as they found out they worked for trump ?? and even their well known homophobia and so if they wanted to watch two fems which of course is a homosexual act ? could get rather confusing ? and they do tend to be rather angry like some of the left and pointing out the sometimes more than obvious faults in their view points tends the escalate matters ....xx |

It’s interesting how it’s always the “so called” liberals are the only ones who do this, yet they’re the ones supposed to be all accepting of everyone aren’t they? Utter hypocrites.
You never see people writing “no liberal lefty’s” do you. Perhaps that’s speaks volumes about people’s character and which way they lean. |

I'm not particularly fussed on others politics, providing they're not extreme. It's not really a topic of conversation I'd be interested in having if I'm meeting from Fab.

Most of my friends are relatively liberal and left leaning to different degrees. There's one or two who have voted Tory in the past, but that's their decision and they have their reasons even if I don't agree.
Without going into subject matters too much there's a connection between attraction, common ground and morality when you step beyond only the physical.
A lot of the modern right (not all) has become quite extreme and/or doesn't seem support the rights of certain people, can be openly racist or was weirdly supportive of some politicians as useless or corrupt as Truss, Boris and Farrage and unfeeling to other issues like wars and the suffering of people who are different to them aboard.
If you have a fundamental moral opposition to someone and how they think other people should be treated, it can be difficult seeing past that for anything beyond just getting your end away.
If I were with a woman and she started spouting some vaguely racist daily mail nonsense blaming things on small boats it would be hard to have any respect for them or want to spend time with them.
A person's politics does generally matter as it gives you an inclination to their opinion on things that really matter beyond hooking up on here.
Also all politicians are pretty bad, it's just a case of avoiding the worst ones haha. |

A little ironic don’t you think. Isn’t it the lefty’s who are the modern terrorists, just stop oil, the Palestine brigade vandalising things - the left have become far more extreme than the right and far more intolerant of anyone who have any different views to them. Ensuring suffering of people with different views through any means like cancelling/doxing or any labelling of every ist and ism they can think of. Hence the utter hypocrisy of ‘liberalism’. They’re the least accepting of others who are different than anyone on the right - including that man called H!
But this is getting rather political so shall leave that one there |

Probably best to avoid talking politics if you’re just meeting for casual sex. It’s not the same as preparing for marriage.
There are people on both the left and right of politics that can be very unpleasant. One of the most horrible things I recall from recent years is after the Brexit vote. Some on the remain side seized upon the data indicating that older people had been more likely to vote leave. All over Facebook (which I have long since deleted, absolute load of shite) I saw things where remainers were gleefully proclaiming that hopefully most of the older people would die soon so that they stood more chance of winning another referendum. I found that particularly repugnant. Many of them would have been talking about their parents or grandparents. |

I mean, let other people die so we can get our way seems to be the attitude of the sink the boats sort of people. Is the problem in them being relatives we know the lives and attitudes of rather than strangers?
If that's the worst you can recall I definitely need to work harder on avoidance of the news 💜 |

"Probably best to avoid talking politics if you’re just meeting for casual sex. It’s not the same as preparing for marriage.
There are people on both the left and right of politics that can be very unpleasant. One of the most horrible things I recall from recent years is after the Brexit vote. Some on the remain side seized upon the data indicating that older people had been more likely to vote leave. All over Facebook (which I have long since deleted, absolute load of shite) I saw things where remainers were gleefully proclaiming that hopefully most of the older people would die soon so that they stood more chance of winning another referendum. I found that particularly repugnant. Many of them would have been talking about their parents or grandparents.

Yes, the fact that it’s the people who gave birth to them and bought them up and in many cases supported them through a large part of their lives.
There’s also the gross shortsightedness that they one day will also be old. Are they saying that society will be better off if they themselves die young so they aren’t around to vote on future issues? I’m certain that their opinions will shift before they actually reach that stage. Old people will be the most important opinions of all then. |

Also, if you want to avoid the worst of the nasty people there’s no need to avoid the news. Just don’t be on social media. Particularly Facebook. I was on it from 2007 for quite a while, but over the years I noticed that it more and more became a vehicle for morons that know absolutely nothing about anything to post their idiotic opinions and beliefs. It got to be a continuous stream of shit. I just thought it was insidious. I deleted it about five years ago now and have never missed it a bit. The only remotely ‘social media’ thing I have now is YouTube. That can be a bit the same but you just need to pick and choose which channels you watch and avoid reading the comments. Some people make really great videos about all sorts. |

Perhaps you had a more idyllic upbringing than most.
It may be more of a generational thing than an age thing. Millennials already have no hope for a future, zoomers have embraced meme nihilism with open arms. The self interest of people liable to die of old age before policies truly come to fruition is a factor. Obviously noone is defined entirely by the time frame in which they were born.
To mention gross short sightedness when those who'll be most affected aren't yet old enough to vote is fun 💜 |

Bigots to the left of me, Bigots to the right........hopefully 'stuck in the middle with.....' the decent folk instead!
Anyone who writes no Tories/No Lefties/whatever is someone to be avoided. Bigots who profess hate for other Bigots, while being so dense that they don't recognise their own bigotry......
Would be funny if it wasn't so pathetically sad. |

"I don't care about peoples politics but I do care about how they speak about people. That often rules out rabid tory voters, but similarly raging left wing lunatics who think that anyone who doesn't agree with them is a 'phobe of sorts. "
Great shout! |

Well at nearly 3am and having an insomnia moment, I'm racking my brains here, and in all the years I've been around, and in all the scenarios I've found myself in, I can honestly say that I don't remember discussions on politics or religion for that matter, ever coming up. If it did, I'd probably agree with whatever their political persuasion was, especially if I thought that it was going to get me a positive result. |
