PARTNER SWAPPING COMES OUT OF CLOSET

Today's partner swapping is more upscale, perhaps more accepted

by Julian Guthrie

Swinging, the practice of swapping romantic partners, has had a makeover.

Gone are the big-hair, gold-chain '70s-style swingers who gathered in suburban tract homes. Today's energetic couplings have made their way into mainstream resorts and upscale commercial venues.

"There are people who see the market potential and are opening clubs and agencies to cater to the lifestyle," said Tony Lanzaratta, a former Los Angeles police officer who is executive director of NASCA, a national organization of swingers. "The lifestyle tour and travel industry has more than tripled in the last five years."

For instance, more than 4,000 swingers recently took over the 17-story Radisson Hotel in Miami Beach, Fla. Each January, about 2,000 swingers take over a Jamaican resort called Hedonism. Thousands of swingers are expected at a national convention in Reno this month.

The typical swingers are in their 30s or 40s and have solid jobs and relationships -- and disposable income, Lanzaratta said.

And no morals or sense of committment

I have two words

Remember Sodom?

They also have their own annual sinfest. Utterly disgusting. Some may be known to frequent certain websites. I wonder if there is anyone on this http://www.swingstock.com/ site.
