Interesting Essay on Swinging

Swinging is primarily a social activity, and the ordinary social customs of being courteous, initiating conversation, getting to know people, and letting trusted acquaintances become friends are no different from any other walk of life. Put another way, it's your ability to form friendships with couples, as a couple, that will ultimately determine the quality of your experience in the swing community.

``About 85 percent of both husbands and wives feel that swinging is not a threat to marriage or love between spouses. None of them reported that their marriage became worse since they began swinging, and the majority feel their marriages have improved. ... Many swingers reported that rather than dampening their ardor for each other, swinging often caused an arousal of sexual interest for each other. Many of them often engage in sex together immediately after returning from a swinging party.''

Male Bisexuality, Revisited
Dixon noted that ``from the tone and content of the subjects' comments the vast majority of them made it clear that they would not have begun ... sexual activity had not their respective spouses suggested it, encouraged them to do so, and convinced them in various ways that they (the spouses) approved of it.'' This leads me to wonder whether we would start seeing a rapid increase in male-male sex (and eventually male bisexual self-identity) at swing events if female swingers began openly expressing their sexual desire and social approval for men who engaged in sexual activity with other men at swing events. Since watching men have sex together is a commonly-reported fantasy among women, this scenario may not be so farfetched.

P.S. BTW, is it true what they say in that last sentence? That watching men have sex together is a common fantasy among women?
