San Diego Swings
The murder of little Danielle van Dam brought “swinging” into the spotlight. Log on to the World Wide Web, type in “San Diego” and “swingers” on the Yahoo search, and you get 6,160 hits. That’s more than “San Diego” in combination with “hiking trails” (2,570), “car clubs” (772) or “pet lovers” (359)—though not as many as “golfers” (7,430) or “Republicans” (18,900).

Club Paradise, according to its Web site, “is situated in the back hills of the El Cajon Valley, nestled in a secluded, yet easy to access area.” The facility offers a “high-class, home-party style environment” and boasts “5,000 square feet of fun, including a swimming pool, spa and backyard fire pit to socialize with your new friends while warming your erogenous zones.”

Guests are “welcome to bring some goodies (besides your wife)”—and once their erogenous zones are sufficiently warmed, they may choose from “plenty of play areas ... most prefer the living room floor or kitchen, but [private] rooms are always available.”

Club CB is an on-line club “providing a safe meeting place for sensuous consenting adults.” Member parties promise “the hottest couples, the best facilities, very tasty buffet dinners, scrumptious desserts and a staff dedicated to ensuring your experience is clean, fun and safe.”

Club CB party organizers boast they specialize in “stirring up erotic sensations and placing our members in the ideal environment to meet and expand friendships with the most exciting people in San Diego County ... all while raising funds for local charity foundations contributing to the research for multiple sclerosis and other debilitating diseases.”

Welcome to the wonderful—and apparently charitable—world of swinging, San Diego style.

Tony Lanzaratta, a retired Los Angeles police officer who, as executive director of NASCA International, probably has a better handle on swinging than anyone else in the country, stops short of saying San Diego is a hotbed for what he calls “play couples.”

“It’s impossible to chart,” Lanzaratta says. “But I travel a lot, and I know one thing: I meet a lot of people from San Diego.”

He says there are half a dozen organized swing clubs in San Diego County, some in private homes and some in commercial buildings. None is openly marked. “San Diego is a very conservative city,” he says, “so you just can’t do that.”

Certainly, Fresno and Clovis are not on the Van Dam's short list for relocating...to spend their book/movie deal booty....

My father was a Sergeant with the Los Angeles County Special Enforcement Bureau in the 60s and 70s.  As such he was quite careful what groups or clubs he joined, because he did not want to jeopardize his credibility or the department's.  That was then.  This is now.

Beyond the legal or ethical ramifications of law enforcement officers joining such a group, what about the health implications?

The article documents the free sexual contacts that take place locally or in cities across this nation.  One visualizes a person having sexual intercourse with persons infected with HIV, Herpes, Syphilis, Gonorrhea or a myriad of other infectious diseases.  Then they travel across the nation spreading these diseases to whomever they wish, knowingly or unknowingly.

When I was a kid growing up, one guy warned me about a girl.  She was obviously very promiscuous.  He stated to me, "I wouldn't ---- her with your ----."  That was pretty self-explanatory.  Well folks, I wouldn't go near the Van Damns for love nor money.  In fact you can count me down as thinking that they should be labeled to be a public health risk.

They and their contacts break one of the taboos that have been one of my biggest complaints about promiscuous homosexuals.  Gay bath houses provide a setting where homosexuals can and do have sex with as many as 25 sexual partners in a weekend.  This doesn't not imply that they completed the sexual acts with them all, but that they had sexual contact with that many.  I don't approve of this any more in a heterosexual setting than I do in a homosexual setting.

If the diseases stayed within the swinger's groups that would be one thing, but they don't.  When one of these swingers ventures outside the swinger community, they infect the individual who has only temporarily unknowingly coupled with a swinger.  And that individual then goes on their merry way to infect other non swingers.  The most at risk are young adults.

This sexual freedom is sold under the auspices of intellectualism and an enlightened freedom.  "I'm open to the possibilities..."  In truth it is anything but.  The ignored problems that are associated with this community, affects our whole society, not only the idiots that knowingly participate.

I saw this on TV last night. I immediately thought of the VD's.

Everyone in this ring should be instantly executed, on public telly, to send a message out to others who might consider this.

This was all over the Sacramento tv stations.

said most of the defendants, if convicted, are facing sentences of 10 to 20 years in prison.

If the ACLU has their way, the perps will have full Internet access in prison so they can continue as audience for child rapes....they'll be raring to get back into it when they're released.
