2. The Men That Swing

Catrin joins FabSwingers to hear from a man using the site - and asks what they notice, ignore or assume about women鈥檚 consent.

Catrin creates a FabSwingers account and is quickly inundated with messages from men. Professor Nicola Gavey explains why full consent is not always as simple as saying yes. And one male user describes encounters that left him questioning whether women on the site really wanted to be there.
