I think there is a definite difference in "open relationships" and "swinging". Open relationships elude to a situation where you have a primary significant other, but you act single and date as such. To me, swinging is more what you described, Tybee Swing, couples that engage in sex with others, with each other or sometimes playing alone, but always all activities are "with each other" if you know what I mean.

Mrs. WS has played alone on several occasions, and I hope she will in the future too. But the difference between this and an open relationship is she is not "dating" these other people. They meet, have sex, and she comes home, and I usually set-up the whole thing. When she gets home we have great sex together! It is more for US than it is for just HER. Make sense? To me an open relationship is more for the benefit of the individual rather than the couple.
