Swinging Is For The Playground
I learn something new each time I watch Oprah. Today I was enlightened while watching her show. I learned about "Swingers". My definition of a "swinger" was all out of wack. I was thoroughly shocked as I watched the show. Man, was out of way out of loop.
My definition of a swinger was one who likes to dance. I thought swinging and stepping were the same thing. I thought that both were the definition of dancing. I told a co-worker that I wanted to learn how to swing. He looked at me like, "Huh?" I had no idea that the definition of "swinging" was couples who exchange partners. George further enlightened me with a definition of "swinging":
1. Slang Spirited; up-to-date.
2. Attracting a lively, trendy crowd: a swinging nightclub.
3a. Sexually promiscuous. b. Practicing exchange of partners, especially spouses, for sex.
People actually do that? That's crazy! This one chick on Oprah said that "swinging" helps her marriage by keeping it "fresh". Say what? Whatever happened to the sanctity of marriage? If you need to add a third or 4th person into the mix of your marriage, then you have SERIOUS ISSUES. What is the world coming to?
I saw on one site where a couple who call themselves swingers also claimed to be Christians. They didn't think there was anything wrong with that. HELLO!! There IS something wrong with that. Yea I know the bible says that the marriage bed is undefiled, but swinging classifies as adultery my friends. This kind of stuff brings up all kinds of issues in a marriage. I don't think I'd ever trust my husband again if he asked me to do something like that. Insanity I tell ya...just plain INSANE!
Now I know why my co-worker looked at me like I have 3 heads. I don't want to learn how to swing anymore. lol. I do, however, still want to learn how to step. Anybody want to teach me?

It's beyond my comprehension as to why someone would EVER do this. Might as well not be married, ya know. :/ People can be sickening sometimes!

Yeah it was a repeat episode, so I had already been desensitized, but STILL. Yuck! I will cut a heffa before she 'shares' my husband. And it was funny how so many of them wanted to remain 'anonymous' because of 'people who judge on the outside'...can we say guilt and shame! Oh yes, yes we can.

Not sure how I got on this thread! I was trying to comment on your flame war with the guy, and I clicked too many times, maybe? Weird. Anyway, about swinging- this would be a very bad lifestyle for me. I've heard people say this is a very big turn on...huh? You have got to be kidding! If I saw my guy in bed with another girl, I don't know who'se nose I'd break first!
Anyway, I was going to say- way to call him out on that flame war! I admire both of you for the fortitude to make that committment, and stand by it, but, c'mon- ruins the statement a little to be all sensitive about it!
