People have had group sex since sex was around. This is evident in sperm which has various properties to make it harder for 'other' sperm to get to the egg. This would only evolve if there was a reason and the obvious reason is that humans are naturally promiscuous. Its in our genes. Monogamy has its advantages but apparently long term genetic survival is not one of them.

As such there will be ancient types of 'swinging' and extra-marital sex was not just common but expected.

The problem is that these groups, cults, cultures who may have been 'swingers' of a sort have no direct connection to swinging today. Its not like your local swingers club can trace its roots to a roman temple. We do it in the context of our own motives and culture.

The seeds of non-monogamy are inside us, to deny it is to deny our nature. We choose swinging to express it.
