In some of my last posts, i started the “Sex” Game - it was just for fun.
But in the comments there somebody told me that in the Couchsurfing Community are people who making a Dating Site out of the real Couchsurfing.
So i will take some investigations and let you know if i can uncover there the big problems.
Here the comment:
How would you personally feel if I told you that CS is leaving the
hospitality/cultural exchange concept behind to turn into some kind of
Adult dating website, no different from many other adult networks
where orgies,swingers and S & M gatherings are being promoted
constantly?What’s more all these activities are not only not ”moderated” but
encouraged by the local ambassadors and moderators, some of which
actually taking active part in said events and even telling those who
disagree with this kind of practice on CS to shut the **** up and mind
our own business.It seems now that the network we once joined to travel and get to know
people from all over the world along with their culture and
idiosincrasy has suddenly become a porn website without any previous
notice and those of us who do not actually agree with this new ”
trend” are slagged off and called all sorts of names from puritans to
narrow-minded just because we strongly believe this is NOT the place
for such activities-regardless of everyone’s sexual preferences which
of course do not concern us.What a pity, this seems to be the shape of things to come from now on
Best regards,
Juan

Hi there!
Juan is 100 % right and you can see for yourselves on these two threads active in Buenos Aires group, first the ORGY thread itself:
http://www.couchsurfing.org/group_read.html?gid=1315&post=3020502#gpid3020502
and a second thread where members who disapprove of the idea are told to fuck off and shut up as well as slagged off and called names-anything from backwards and puritans on, really:
http://www.couchsurfing.org/group_read.html?gid=385&post=3030626#gpid3030626
interestingly enough, one French member, Fred cleverly pointed out that a couple of years ago a similar thread was censored and the poster’s profile deleted by now that there are different ‘moderators’ and ‘ambassadors’ in charge and the Orgy organiser is well-acquainted with them they’re actively encouraging it and backing him up. Well spotted, Fred!

What is this, the Fox News of the CS community? This seems to be an issue in the Buenos Aires group alone, not Couch Surfing as a whole. Who are you to bitch about any certain group to be censored in the first place? If you have a problem with this kind of activity, then start your own Buenos Aires CS group, and recruit like minded people. Using scare tactics and blowing things entirely out of proportion is ridiculous.
