Inside the swingers lifestyle

June 26 2016 - In News

Whether it is Ohio, or central Indiana, the number of people who are swingers is growing. Reason for both FOX 59 and ABC News do discover more about the people who discover the swinging lifestyle. Who are they? What are their backgrounds? What do they find so appealing?

Indiana

In central Indiana FOX59 was given unprecedented access into a local swingers club. According to their article: "It was quickly apparent that people in the lifestyle come from all types of background and they don't fit a particular stereotype."
They find them to be doctors, lawyers, judges, teachers, accountants, executives, mechanics and just about any other profession you can imagine. Wow, what a surprise;-). Didn't we know that already! But what is more interesting is that couples talked openly about the lifestyle, but asked not to be identified, so the names that appear in this story are pseudonyms. There still seems to be fear for judgment from the 'outside' world.

Ohio

And how about ABC News? A year ago they filmed (part) of a swingers party. And interviewed Tony and Diana, who at that moment have been married for 5 years and have 3 kids together. They seem to live a normal family from Cincinnati (Ohio) life. But they have a secret. And because of that they also asked that their last name not be used. Their secret: they are swingers, who actively swap sexual partners and host swinger's parties for their suburban neighbors.

What was the conclusion in both the articles/interviews?
