Black ring, right hand ring finger. What do you think?

May 17 2019

As apposed to a black ring on the middle finger of the right hand (symbolising asexuality), a black ring worn on the right hand ring finger or thumb is supposed to display your membership in the swingers lifestyle community. Apparently recognised in the scene abroad...has anyone heard of, or actually used the symbol abroad or here in Australia? I think it’s a cracker of an idea! Imagine getting around the supermarket with the bananas facing up AND a black ring on your right hand (other than the middle finger) ! Ha ha, sorry. I'm interested as to what the community thinks of this, I think if you were headed off to the school assembly you might leave it at home that day, or out somewhere where being approached may be inappropriate, but for beginners and established alike, I think there’s some upside... what do you guys think? - Posted from rhpmobile

...saying "Will fuck for fruit or gratuitous compliments" then head to the supermarket on Saturday or hang out at Aldi's on those Special Buy days. Forget the rings on your fingers and bells on your toes and the bone in your nose...that shit never works. ʗɱ

Some years ago, I was in Port Hedland.There was an absolutely delightful woman being so beautiful an mingling so well.INCLUDING with me.. No bullshit, no fuckall.. just having fun, and being happy.Eventually, she dragged a fella over, and introduced him to me."Caveman (Real name used here), this is BJ, he is my man."I shook his hand, and was genuinely happy to see he was a very chilled out fella, with a beautifully cheerful face. Me being me, I said.. "BJ, Awesome to meet you! Awesome to let me do a couple of dances with your gorgeous lady, and mate, do you guys do Threesomes?"He was a tad taken back from this and stuttered .."Ummm NO!! NO!!'Gorgeous Partner Backhanded him playfully in the belly, an said, with a HUGE smile.."BJ.. let him tell us what he has to offer first eh.."BJ looked down at me... (He was fucking towering over me) .. then smiled, pulled out his wallet, gave me a business card, and said.."Cavey (Real name used here) call after next Tuesday, we are away for the weekend" THAT my friend OP, is the ONLY way I have worked out how to discover if someone 'Plays' "

But each to their own...I just think we’re all adults and should just engage in conversation as such...

I prefer to talk to people socially, not have complete strangers approaching me when Im out shopping. What happens if someone is innocently wearing an onyx ring, and is approached by someone making suggestive remarks? It could potentially cause trouble. We have a great social circle here in Perth and a couple of good clubs, so there is no need for identifying tags.

Koko, I thought that too when I read about it. Thus I ask the question, has anyone experienced this abroad..it's something in most parts kept under wraps in Australia, and that's interesting, and probably in most part warranted. I'd be interested in others takes too...thus a forum I reckon. Cheers for the posts!

Evening everyone, Natalia here. This brought back a memory from when I was a teenager. When wearing a anklet wether on your left ankle or right ankle it had meaning. Firstly I apologise as I can't remember for the life of me (the meanings). However I think it was something to do with sexual availability. I'm not sure if it was something teens made up. Also once again when I was teen , if boys wore a earring it had a meaning which ear was pierced. Knowing it doesn't matter at all its personal preference. This sort of thing has been around for along time. Wedding rings, I know I used to look at a mans finger. Yes a ring can be taken off but I still looked. Chokers in the bdsm scene have different meanings too. Anyway thank you Zany_Swingle for bring back some old memories lol have a great weekend everyone. Natalia xxx

This reminds me of a similar topic that would come up on another platform that dealt with bi men. There was this fabled code, that nobody actually ever saw and I don't think anybody actually ever did, involving blue triangles on your car. If you wanted to let other men know that you are bi and up for some fun, you would slap a blue triangle magnetic sticker on the rear of your car somewhere. If the triangle pointed up, it meant you were a top, pointing down you were a bottom. Then you would go driving around, and see if you could find other cars with blue triangles. What you would do if you saw one was anybody's guess - chase them? Flash your headlights at them? Fuck knows. It was such a silly idea. Not saying the idea of some kind of signifier or code is a silly idea full stop, but I would imagine it to be a little impractical. As Koko pointed out, quite a lot of people are into adornments, a ring on whatever finger on whatever hand could be just that. So, say you notice someone at the checkout at Bunnings has a dark ring on the right hand ring finger. What now? You could approach them and say ''hey, I see you're in the lifestyle'', and probably someone would deck you at least once. You could alternately make a dramatic show of alerting them to the fact that you are wearing such a ring too - again, this has a reasonable chance of just making you look like a bit of a dick. My point being, you could have a ''code'', but you probably would need to have something a little more specific. Odd socks pulled up to the knees with a tie for a belt, for example. Even then, the big question for me is what you actually do with seeing such a thing in public.

Hahaha yes and thanks for the memories. I was always paranoid that I had the anklet on the right foot (so to speak LOL) as teenagers can be quite vocal and even nasty if they have a difference of opinion.

But l find catching someone's glance tells me all l need. The moments of staring into each other's eyes holds all the clues. Works for opposite sex, same sex. Rings and symbols might give a clue to a preference but give nothing toward availability/attraction that the eyes do. Many wasted moments trying to figure out the symbols and wether an approach is suitable. No such wasted times with eyes, just go over and say hi. A good old fashioned conversation. Just make sure your teeth are in first ....

Some great responses, thank you, and thank you for a message I received with regards to the topic. I'd also like to openly apologize to Foxy. I felt I was a little harsh and disrespectful. This is not the place for that. Keep them coming, and thanks for your interest. Foxy, you've created quite a dinner party, it's hilarious! I'm not sure i can go to dinner again without a quiet snigger to myself.. Enjoy the weekend guys! :-)

It wouldn't really make much of a difference to me. I don't pay attention to these things as passive signals to their lifestyle. I am normally oblivious to my surrounds when I'm out and about. And i do prefer to be approached or obvious signals sent to me that they are keen on me. A great smile down my way would be great. Now at that point it wouldn't matter to me if they are into swinging or not. I suppose I'm pragmatic and address whayhe is into when we get to chat.
