The swinging facts, Swinging, also called the alternative or
'alt' lifestyle, seems to be increasingly popular among
mainstream, middle-aged married couples in America.
|
| |
| With this increasing number of people who are into the lifestyle
there is also a growing need for interactive ways to meet
similar thinking couples. They find the internet to be the
ultimate way to interaction. Distance is no longer an issue to
meet similar thinking others because of the increasing number of
lifestyle lovers who join swingers communities online.
|
| |
| According to swingers, the lifestyle can be a solution to
(sexual) crises in relationships provided that the emotional
bonding is still in tact.
|
| |
| According to King (1996) one of the things that normally occurs
in a relationship is sexual habituation. This will lead to
changes in how we interact with our partners.
|
| |
| It will take about three to seven years into a relationship when
partners need to increase the levels of stimulation, to obtain
the same level of sexual interest in each other.
|
| |
| This can be a stressful point in marriages, changes of
infidelity are increasing and the divorce rate peaks. Couples
who find a way to reconnect both physically and emotionally are
more likely to make it through this period. Therefore swinging
may be a creative solution.
|
| |
| Scientific studies show consistently that swingers bond better
in a relationship than monogamous couples. Another interesting
outcome of research is that swingers are happier in their
relationships than the average person |
| |
| 60 Percent of swingers said that swinging improved their
relationship. Also swingers rate themselves happier (59% against
32% very happy). Overall they consider their lives much more
exciting (76% against 54% exciting) than couples who don't
consider swinging as a lifestyle.
|
| |
| The origin of swinging goes back to the 1950's when California
military couples gathered at so called key clubs. Here husbands
tossed their keys into a large bowl and the wives then drew a
set of keys and the owner of those keys became her sexual
partner for the night.
|
| |
| The media soon gave a name to this key swapping and described it
as wife swapping. This early swinging lead in the 1960's to the
opening of the first organization for swingers, the "Sexual
Freedom League" at Berkeley, California.
|
| |
| In later years up until the present swinging evolved to a
widespread style of living. The uprising of the internet gave
swinging an impulse. People from all over the world meet through
the world wide web.
