Feb. 23, 2007, 12:36 p.m.Wow - I can't believe how many people said yes or that they would consider it! I hated to be a party pooper and say it's not for me...
I guess I'm either too old fashioned, or an extremely satisfied wife. ;)

Feb. 23, 2007, 3:42 p.m.I have not read the article nor participated the poll yet. and I don't think i will do that either. But this is what I would like to comment, I totally respect the right people have redarding how to live their lives. They can do the hell whatever they want. But my view of marriage and love is this regarding 'swinging',
That's not love or marriage I call. If I love someone, I wouldn't share the person with rest of the world but me, period. True love makes you feel that way. And I have been lucky enough to have experienced that. If people swing, to me, that's not love. They can say they still love each other madly or what not, to me, that's total bullsh-t. If you really really love someone, there's no f--king way that you want to share that person with other strangers physically. I just can't imagine doing that to someone I love. True love is selfish.

Feb. 23, 2007, 3:57 p.m."Polyamory", all for it, I can use a couple more husbands to up the income and get more done around the nest.
I guess this is far better material and more interesting than Workers Jokes.....

Feb. 23, 2007, 4:43 p.m.I am one who has no problem with swinging, but polygamy is out. And yes, there is such a thing as friendship sex. It all depends on how "grown up" the two involved are.

Feb. 23, 2007, 4:57 p.m.To redlinrunner,
Actual my last line was true love is selfish and selfless at the same time, but then I deleted the last couple words. I totally respect your opinion. And it's true that a relationship has to come from both sides. I was speaking in a general terms. If two people are trully in love with one another, i don't think they would share the other one with strangers. that's my thinking...everyone has their own definition of what true love is. I just expressed mine. that's all. and i respect everone's opinion here.

Feb. 23, 2007, 5:40 p.m.Personally, I love my husband....and I don't want to share him with anyone....and I don't want to give myself to anyone but him. He is a good man, works hard, and I have the "biggest" kind of respect for him. He deserves nothing less than my loyalty...and the way I see it, if you share yourself with another person, then you aren't loyal to your spouse. Anyway....to each his own I guess.
When it comes down to it, you have to live with yourself and the decisions you have made. Make the kind of decisions that won't bring about any regrets. I, too, have known someone who was once a swinger with her husband...they later divorced, and she regrets ever letting him talk her into that. I think people just need to be careful with the decisions they make concerning sexual relationships.

Feb. 23, 2007, 6:10 p.m.Why swing, this proves to me that the relationship is over, and marriage is just a convenience. With more people not getting married, the answer to swing is divorce because the institution has been nullified.

Feb. 23, 2007, 7:02 p.m.I'm lucky. I really like my husband. I love him, too. But I like him as well. As a friend, a companion, a partner and as my slap and tickle buddy. It works for us.
If others are happy living another way, that's fine by me. The only time someone else's sex life is any of my business is when they figure they're gonna dance the tango with me. Then, it's my business.
How others view this question is really what works for them. Human beings wouldn't be nearly so interesting if we were all the same.

Feb. 23, 2007, 8:13 p.m.I wouldn't mind trying it, but only because I can't stand my wife and would welcome the chance to pawn her off. Maybe I could get lucky and someone would steal her from me.

Feb. 23, 2007, 9:16 p.m.Swinging- definitely not. I see marriage as a lifelong vow to one person. I think it's pointless to get married in the first place if swinging is an interest. Why bother marrying then?
Polyamory- maybe. I think it could be very satisfying with the right kind of likeminded (selfless, unpretentious, loving, giving, etc.) people.

Feb. 23, 2007, 9:18 p.m.swinging AKA wife swapping is fun, if you're bored, or curious or in a rut with your mate, sometimes it's good, if you are both up for it, the wife and I have been enjoying for years. beats lying and cheating.

Feb. 23, 2007, 10:52 p.m.iF THE THIRD PARTy IS A WOMAN THEN SIGN ME UP...I have no desire to see another dude naked and never will but treesome thing I could go. Of course I'd end up shot with my own glock if I did
But the wife would never go for it and she a better shot than me. A word of advice if you plan anything like this never teach your borderline pacifist wife (her Mama was a starchild) how to shoot a pistol on your second date...it will have reprussions down the line

Feb. 24, 2007, 12:23 a.m.swinging is a bad thing to do especially if you are holding a shotgun & swinging around without looking - your partner gets a facejob - Ask Dick C -- damn I couldn't let a whole thread go without Some Cheney bashing
