An EXCELLENT point! The first time at a club that I saw 2 women and one man exit a room, I just about creamed my undies! The fiftieth time I saw it, I probably yawned, and looked at my watch. It just wasn't that big a deal to me anymore.

Which leads me to thinking...it takes about 3-5 years for people to become "habituated" to each other, which is about how long many couples actively swing. I wonder if "habituation" with the lifestyle isn't as big an issue for swingers as it is for vanilla couples? If it is, then what follows swinging as a way of rekindling interest in one's sex life?

Now I need to go back and read all the posts where "swinging" has led to an affair, and see how long they'd been in the lifestyle when it all happened...
