They live next door: Neigbors with benefits
Just a suburb, somewhere in Ohio... Where married couples live there every day lives as parents, professionals, soccer moms and little league coaches. And as swingers. A&E is turning the camera on swinging married couples in a new reality series, “Neighbors With Benefits.”
The producers of the series estimate that there are upwards of 15 million swingers in America and with the docuseries they want to show how the ordinary couples spice up their sex lives by courting prospective partners and interacting with their like-minded friends.
Leading roles are for Tony and Diana, who were the first to move into the neighborhood and serve as the leaders for the lifestyle movement. They speak openly about it and often serve as the center of the activity, hosting events and bringing new members into the community. Executive producer Aaron Rothman tells The Post: “They’re attractive people. This isn’t your pony-tailed, earring guy that you would picture being a part of swingers. They look and feel like they are your neighbors. Their kids are playing with your kids.”
Besides Tony and Diana there are the neighborhood couples Brittany and Cody, who are having trouble playing by the rules of the life style; longtime swingers Lori and Eric, who still fear the judgment of others and newbies Vince and Penny are debating becoming swingers. Mark and Amy are friends with the group, but strictly monogamous.
Premiere: March 22 at 10 p.m.

Probably a big reason for our high divorce rate.
And if you have an easy access to sex outside your marriage, there can be problems. I have personally seen this from a group I was in with my ex for 3 years.
Best to play at a distance.
Regarding Ron's comment; I've never seen any data that shows swingers have a particularly higher divorce rate than the rest of society.
Who edits Lifestyle news? Even a simple spell check would catch the misspelled words in the title and first sentence.
The final two nights they gave all the participants (8 couples) wonderfull rooms in a downtown Fort Lauderdale hotel on the strip. We had a ball!!!
The last night... After Q and A in the conference room of the hotel on cam we went to a HUGE swing party in a glamours house in West Lauderdale. We spent the night there. Playing away. We did not get the spot light of the show at all. But I still have friends with online T.V asking me about the "back then" . And still made some friends in the making of the show.
12 years later, I will say, being on cam the whole time was highly stressful.
Remember this phrase. "Look at the camera" and "remember you are talking to the world"
It was fun!!! I would not do it again! AND, I have never seen the show.
Good luck to those new reality T.V. stars. I imagine the new film crews are presses to push the new cast Really Hard!!!
But oxytocin is reality, and it can be misleading as to true emotions.
