Blackmail on a Platter

Yes sir, that’s a very popular choice. Will sir be enjoying the 3 course menu? Or perhaps sir would enjoy our 12 course tasting menu with wine pairings?

The WH user has committed a security violation if married. Open or not. So, there’s that delicious Platter for Russia, China, NK, … to take advantage of.
Oh, wait. How silly of me, Russia knows everything already and Moscow Mitch has a pillow talk line to China.

I wonder how well Grindr scores on such issues. Asking for a friend.

It is completely beyond unthinkable that any such service would not become immediately overrun by assorted varieties of scammers, or at least people not actually interested in group sex.
I think the only way a service like that could work would be with an extensive vetting process, which would be difficult to maintain profitably for long.

I am not into group or poly experiences, but I’d imagine security would be way more important for a group sex app, given the negotiations that exist in poly relationships. I’d imagine privacy is even more important than for gay dating apps.

Yeah definitely. Participants beyond two expand risk not linearly, but exponentially.

You know that thing where the probability of you having the same birthday as someone else is only 1/365, but if you put 23 people or more in a room it is more likely than not that two people in that group will have their birthdays on the same date.
Which is my roundabout way of speculating as how hard it must be to keep your polyamory/swinging/orgies and your professional life separate.

Attackers could extract users by location, and Pen Test Partners were able to locate 3fun users inside the White House, CIA headquarters, and the Pentagon
Well yeah. Who do you think uses the Kennedy sex tunnels underground?
Something something Penetration test.

I was actively poly for 17+ years. I never had any problems with work. I also keep my private life private when at work and don’t treat it like a social club. Online I don’t hide it (such as this post) but I also don’t brandish it as part of my identity.

Sounds good. How about stalking?
I’ve had that happen to me from my relatively vanilla efforts at online dating, so again I am curious as to whether poly practice wouldn’t increase that risk exponentially.
Edit: And whether there are commonly practiced precautions in the poly community that exist in addition to what serial monogamists typically do.
Poly people don’t necessarily date, or sleep with, more people than monogamous people in the long run.
I’ve had fewer partners than most of my monogamous friends.
Edit after your edit:. The main difference is clearer boundaries and more negotiation, similar to BDSM scenes.

I’ve not had a problem with that but I can see the potential in any dating app.
