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."

Wow! $80.00? Let's see. 50-70-80. Great...I'll move it from my left front pocket to my right front pocket. Now, time to remove the pants and go say HI to my loving bride. ;) Neat, I still get to spend the $80 again tomorrow....probably on my own sweet love.

"Marriage is still the most sacred institution in our country," Gantz said.

Ah, just keep working at it. I'm sure you'll make that a thing of the past.

First-time visitors are generally referred by a member.

I had to italicize that, sorry.

It's almost as if there is a movement to destroy the old idea of marriage. I wonder what's next? No prayer in schools in America? Legal prostitution? NAMBLA? Maybe gay couples adopting and raising children? Or next there could be a US President shagging an intern his daughter's age.

Isn't this behaviour basically saying "Honey, I love you to pieces, but you're a dud in the sack. Matter of fact, you are so inept in the boudoir, I'm giving you permission to sleep with someone else, so I can have fun with someone who has at least minimal skills." What an ego boost!

All these studies that say 99% of 16 year old females are sexually active - not at my high school!

Trumm said later. "I fell in love. It was the first time we'd met, although they'd been to Lush before. The guy was very handsome. We danced for a while. We went upstairs. It was easy. The sex was spectacular."

Minor correction-- she was easy...

Well, you really only need one of them to be sexually active. Heh.

A few months ago someone posted a thread about this and some people rushed to defend swinging, admitting that they do it themselves. Apparently even people at FR (who you would not think of as the type) do it.

"PARTNER SWAPPING COMES OUT OF CLOSET "

Kind of crowded in there --- Had to stand up all the time.

I have some friends who are into this type of behavior.. (And No, I don't join in.. But they aren't shy about doing it or talking about it. They treat it as casually as borrowing a cup of sugar.)

Aparently, it's some kind of kink they get by knowing what's happening to their "significant other" as opposed to "guy's" just looking for an excuse to "get laid" as the article puts it.

Thus, it's not suprising that a common trait that swingers share is becoming VERY ANGRY if their "significant other" engages in this type of activity without first telling them about it. To not inform and gain consent is considered "cheating"

(go figure..)
