No. Those were not work events
21st Century version of Swingers Clubs….🙄

Swingers clubs still exist? And they are a lil scuzzy but, in general, not nearly this rape-y.

Yeah, I find swingers culturally weird, but they're not categorically rapists, which seems to be the case here

My experiences with them have been that they are often nice, overeager, and lacking in social awareness, but not generally predators. Lumping them in seems unnecessary.

I mean 'culturally weird' as in 'I am fascinated by and do not understand their culture'. I have no issue with swingers, and though we seem to have quite different values and priorities, I think they're interesting

No, no, I understood that. I guess I was still really responding to the eye rolling above.

Oh cool. I worried about coming off sounding dismissive of swingers

Except the swingers clubs were attended by people who wanted to be there or not people who felt coerced to be there to keep their job jobs.

And no means no in that community. Not about coercion & not about jobs/careers.

When younger I was invited to a scattering of swingers parties, which is not my scene and I told the askers that I was flattered to be invited, but that really wasn’t my scene and I didn’t think I would enjoy it and they said “OK”. There was no pressure.
