The definition of monogamy is the practice of being married to or only having one mate in a lifetime (or in these days at a time I suppose) and comes from the Latin mono, meaning "one" and gamen meaning "marriage".

So, according to that, swingers are monogamous. I don't consider other people I sleep with as mates and I'm certainly not going to marry any of them.

Of course, within the definition of monogamy, sexual exclusivity is implied but I'm all about what's within the root of a word. I'm an Anglophile at heart and etymology is a fascination of mine.
