We have table top pineapple tiki lamps. We put them upside down, but it lit our porch on fire.

On a more serious note, the 4_Reals gave us a good idea. We just ordered a pineapple anklet.

Sounds like the whole pineapple thing must have been started by DOLE to boost sales,LOL

Although we DID put an upside-down pineapple in a shopping cart of an old lady once. We were probably the only ones that found it funny.

We have pineapple beach towels. She has pineapple anklet, necklace, charms on her wrist. A huge pineapple drinking cup.

Never once were any of these commented on except during a fucking session. Better late than never I guess. But as far as we know, pineapples have never gotten us laid.

I keep saying this but there is no universal sign for swingers. The simple reason is if there were one non-swingers would know about it and think of all the problems that would occur because of that.

BTW several years back an apple with a bite out of it (especially as a pin) used to the the sign. Never saw one of those back then either. It was because of the same reason mentioned above. Oh and yes the apple was all sorts of symbolic but mainly you were taking a bite out of life. There is the whole Adam and Eve thing too though.

Mrs. TBR loves pineapple. Pineapple t shirt, pineapple hat, pineapple bags, pineapple bikini, pineapple jewelry.

But she hates eating pineapple...

Maybe what we need is a black ring anklet with an upside down pineapple charm on it.

The pineapple position: Wooden pineapples were placed on front gate posts indicating the sailer husband home or at sea. One way, he's home you may call on us (or not), the other way around indicates he is at sea, don't bother social call. Also informed lovers of availability. I believe stem up is home.

An upside down wife in the cart might be a more obvious sign.

The pineapple has long been associated as a "welcome" symbol, in some circles swingers have appropriated the upside down pineapple as a code for "extra-welcome"!

"it would be difficult to tell if an orange is upside down or not without careful inspection."

That's definitely a way to spot a swinger, they'd be staring awfully hard for you not to notice them. lol

No, a pineapple is fine, but can't help but wonder how that started and what the significance might be. And it would be difficult to tell if an orange is upside down or not without careful inspection. Maybe that's the deal with the pineapple; it's easy to spot in a shopping cart and easy to determine that it's upside down. More research needed on the subject.

Would you rather it be an upside down orange?

Pineapples? Really? I had no idea, but I will be in the produce dept at Safeway soon to see who notices. Why a pineapple? I don't get the significance.

Never heard of the pineapple thing, upside down nor right-side up. (On the west coast here.)

My thought is, if you do a pineapple search in the forums, you will fare pretty well on what you seek.

Hey fellow swingers. I was curious about how far and wide the "pineapple" usage spreads. A little background...here in NC, a pineapple sticker symbolizes that you are a swinger or involved in someway to the swinging community. Also, if you use the live fruit (upside down in your grocery cart for example (buggy if you're southern) supposedly means you're looking to hook-up. Are there any creative ways in your area that mean you're actively looking? Funny thing is, now I'm starting to see them more and more, and I can't help but want to strike up a conversation. Thoughts?
