What People Get Wrong About Swingers
I didn’t realize how much swingers are still shamed until I saw this comment
I’ve been writing for public consumption for about 6 weeks, and thanks to an experimental article unexpectedly getting tons of views, I’ve had to get comfortable with people disagreeing with me.
On a recent story inspired by a swinger event (where swinging had nothing to do with the rest of the article), I received several comments about swingers. Most were about how shallow swingers were assumed to be, but there were others, including this one:
I would suggest that a group of swingers should not be the determining factor in any big decisions.
Excuse me? Those swingers are our friends.
When my husband and I first looked at opening our relationship, we started by exploring swinging. Swinging is defined as the practice of engaging in group sex or the swapping of sexual partners within a group, especially on a habitual basis. The broader umbrella of swinging-style sex is called “the lifestyle” or “LS” for short.
I won’t pretend that swingers don’t have their fair share of toxic people, just like any other group, but for the most part, swingers are just regular people.
