Sometimes referred to as the swinging lifestyle, is "a non-monogamous sexual activity, treated much like any other social activity, that can be experienced as a couple” .The phenomenon of swinging may be seen as part of the sexual revolution of recent decades, which occurred after the upsurge in sexual activity made possible by the prevalence of safer sex practices during the same period. Swinging has been called wife swapping in the past, but this term has been criticized as andocentric (taking a male-oriented point of view) and inaccurately describing the full range of sexual activities in which swingers may take part. Swinger’s sexual habits are typically characterized by partner-swapping, female bisexuality and group sex. Full penetrative sex, though common, is not essential. Male bisexuality is absent. All swinging couples have their own rules of sexual behavior and these come in an infinite variety from the restrictive, through the asymmetric to the relaxed.
In the US there are several organizations against swinging and in favor of it. A survey found that up to 90% of swingers identify with a religion and up to 47% regularly attend their place of worship. US swingers tend to be Republicans, middle to upper-middle class, middle-aged and (over 90%) white. They are less racist, less sexist and uphold traditional relationship roles. An analysis of couples advertising in Desire Contact magazine, Britain's leading swingers contact publication, found an average age of 43 (men 45, women 41) with only 15% over 50, 26% under 40 and 59% in their 40s. The Guardian has suggested there are between 500,000 swingers in the UK.
I would’t like to participate in a swinging activity. I think that when we marry someone we should only engage in sexual activities with that person. A lot of couples say that they entered swinging because they felt like their relationship was dying and that the love was fading. They also say, that swinging has help their relationship and that they never have felt jealous or mad because someone else was having sex with their spouse. For me it’s wrong living a life like that. My husband is mine and I am his, no one else’s.
The presentation was really interesting. I learned a lot of different forms of marriage. Each group presentation was really fun, and we got to learn new stuff with a different way of teaching. I think that our presentation, was really good, because we explain the main thing and we did it in a normal amount of time, so we didn't make anybody get bored. I like giving presentations because we have fun, we learn, time passes faster and we get to know each other more.
