This is based on a FB post DH saw over the weekend from an old college friend.

  • A coach and his wife were at our last school. He ended up leaving his wife for one of the people they were *swinging* with(if that's the proper term)

  • While I don't think anyone I know is, could happen.  I don't/ won't pry like that. 

    I can say that no one I know opening professes to be swingers.

    ** Wait- Did your DH's "friend" proposition him on FB because that would be hilarious.

    LOL no, nobody propositioned him on FB. Because of the new FB and how you can sometimes see everything that everyone talks about on FB, he found out a guy that lived in his house in college is a swinger. A seemingly pretty open and active one at that.

  • I don't think any of our couple friends are swingers, but I confess to loving the TV show "Swingers" from a few years back.  I was so disappointed when it was cancelled.

  • We know a couple.  The man is very open about it.  It became a bit awkward when their escapades included the ex-wife of another mutual friend.  
  • I was once put in time out at a swingers' bar, but I don't think that makes me a swinger, does it?

    A former boss of mine and his wife are (were?) swingers. They were very open about it and propositioned my coworker numerous times. She finally accepted and none of it ended well. 

    The coworker was slutty, the boss was skeezy and his wife was just along for the ride because her husband was extremely wealthy.

  • Looks like theres a swinger among us. lol.
  • Now I'm TOTALLY curious as to who voted that they are/used to be swingers. Anyone wanna 'fess up???

    We are most definitely not...goes against pretty much everything in which I believe. However, at a girls' night about a year or so ago with my Pearland moms' group, one of the girls told us that she and her husband are really into swinging.  Like, they go to the swingers' bars, go out on "dates" with potential couples, and then go to hotels and...well, swing.  OMG.  It honestly didn't surprise me to learn this about this particular person, though.

  • When I was doing Passion Parties, I did one for some people I didn't know.  Turned out that everyone but me and the sister of the bride and the future SIL of the bride were swingers.  They were also very into things like dressing up like animals, etc.  It was...interesting.  I had no idea going into it and when I was giving my presentation, the bride mentioned that she took care of her FI the first time, then Stephanie went in for his second go.  I said oh, who is Stephanie and voice said ME!  I maintained composure, but I was thinking WTF WTF WTF.

     

  • DH has two friends that we were almost positive were swinging with each other and their wives. both marriages ended within a year of each other... both badly. i dont think i could ever swing. i am too jealous.

  • I voted SS because I'm fairly certain I do not currently know any swingers, but - growing up, our next door neighbors were swingers.

    The wife was a teacher and the husband had a twin brother...between the three of them and her "teacher friends" - their outdoor hot tub saw a lot of action (hot tub surrounded by 2 story houses, mind you --- who does that?).

    My brother and I babysat their kids regularly - it paid well because they were usually out pretty late, so we'd occasionally have a friend or two over to hang out after the kids went to sleep...well, one of my brother's friends snooped around their house and found some pretty terrifying (for 15yr olds) photo and video evidence of their swinging activities. We never babysat again, nor made eye contact with the mom O_O ...and our mom advised the next couple who moved into that house to have the hot tub professionally cleaned Tongue Tied

  • I honestly thought the term only referred to the type of dancing until I moved to Houston several years ago.

    If I know anyone who does this and it's not on a dance floor, I don't want to know about it.

  • I would never be able to be a part of that type of relationship--I am WAY to jealous and would have a difficult time getting over that cheating feeling, but if that is someone else's choice, that is fine.  I will admit I am terrible curious about it and would have a ton of questions for a swinger, but only because it's something totally unknown to me, not because it's a lifestyle i am interested in for myself.

  • hubby just heard a rumor that one of the customers who frequented his former place of business was a swinger. From what I know about the couple it doesn't surprise me. lol
  • At DH's former company, one of his employees told him that they had some friends over one night.  While they were waiting for pizza delivery, they "got busy" apparently in front of their guests.  Tongue Tied   This employee also was known to show naked pics of his wife to other employees.  WTF.

    #1 Why would you ever tell your boss this.

    #2 I assume they engaged in swinging if they were willing to have sex in front of their house guests

    #3  We never went near them socially again.

  • A friend of mine and her husband are. She's a person who has never been single for longer than a few months.  She's just not comfortable (or happy) being alone/single. She met her current husband just a couple of months after her divorce.  When she shared with me that he was a swinger, I was concerned that she was getting into it merely to be with him, and thus not be alone.

    I'm not very close with her anymore, so I have no idea if they still are into it.

  • When I was in nursing school, two of my classmates were swingers. One of them owned an online swingers club, and the other one used to swing because her husband was in to it, and she approached one of my friends to join!

  • I have friends who are or were in the past. I have been to a swingers club that was pretty crazy but nothing happened.
