Affair vs fling vs fun?

7:27 pm Wednesday, 17th July, 2013

Just wondering....

Met with a friend the other day, and we were talking about the difference between an affair, fling, fun?

I class affair as long(er) term, fling as a one time thing, and relationship as an affair with an emotional twist. Fun can be anything in between.

Does it even matter? NO! but...just curious.

I've always hated the term "affair". It seems a kind of nervous and uncomfortable euphemism that was invented back in the old days by upper class twits to describe shagging someone who is not one's legal partner.

I've always baulked at the term "fun" on these sites too, because it conjures up an image of mindless frivolity, like a ride on the dodgem cars or roundabouts :-)

Sex is intensely enjoyable for sure, but (for me at least) it's a primal drive with a passionate and intensely satisfying outcome. So expressions like "daytime fun" or "same room fun" sound lame and immature - like naughty kids raiding Dad's drinks cabinet :-)

I suppose it depends on the level that you pitch it, but honestly I think labeling sexual activity is pointless. All that matters is that two people respect each other and can find a mutually satisfying channel for their desires.

Agree an affair in shagging somebody elses partner,wife,husband,ect,ect
BUT it involves usually nsome emotional input and some dishoensty from at least one party or both .Usually also becuase one or both in affair are unhappy in their life (relationship) FUN on the other hand is what my wife and enjoy and includes in our particular case her shagging or whatever other men and participating in mutually enjoyable adult sexual activities dogging wnking etc which we both enjoy and the other men enjoy in the pursuit of FUN . Everybody know sits just abit of physical FUN and no emotional comittment is sought or desired by anyone . Only requirement is discretion respect and cleanliness and we all have a great time then go on our ways . Maybe we meet regularly or not but if we do its for MORE FUN !!!img src="imagesadultemoticons008.gif"

Well you certainly seem to be a FUN-oriented couple :-) Like I sad above, it depends on the level at which you pitch it. It's just that "fun" seems a rather bland term, but....each to their own, as always.

You say tomato, I say tomahto ...

As far as I am concerned, does it really matter what we call it? It's all the same thing. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a label open to interpretation.

If I had to, I would define it as "something your poor excuse for a fukwit husband does with his secretary."

Curvy: Your first deffo reminds me of "Brief Encounter" :-) Sadly (or fortunately ??) that little "affair" remained chaste, but it's precisely that period that is conjured up in my mind whenever I hear the word "affair" being used in that context :-)

olivers2: Sounds painful. Did this happen around 10 years BH ("before Hub" :-) or was it part of "real life"? I think the key to successful "dalliance" (now there's a good word) is to ensure you are clear of family. After that, the prospect of discovery is slightly less daunting and perhaps less damaging. I think at some future point in social evolution, we'll arrive at a point when it's generally considered OK to have a "central" figure in one's life while being free to....er....."interact" if suitable opportunities arise. I know it sounds a bit Utopian at the moment, but I think it's the natural way to go.
