I will admit...
I didn't read your entire post. I didn't feel a need to after reading the statement I've quoted above. When you start out with a flawed theorem, the rest of your hypothesis is going to be fucked...
To be clear, I do not consider myself to have gained any amount of acceptance - and frankly, I do not seek it. The taboo of the lifestyle is appealing, and the stigma involved is not one I want to carry to my grave should I decide to leave the lifestyle - which undoubtedly will happen at some point.
So, the jump off point of your diatribe is based on a straw man argument, based on "haves and have-nots". This is not a fair comparison to make between swingers and "breeders". And, actually, it wouldn't matter if it were.
I think one of the funniest flaws in some of the thinking around here (the minority thought, thank goodness) is that being a swinger means that you should be open to any sort of sexual expression. Most of us are rather open-minded, but many also draw the line at acts that affect those who do not consent. For example - banging a cow... Or creating a child simply for the "kink" of it.
Many times this leads to an abortion, which - regardless of your position on abortion (I am pro-choice) - is sick and irresponsible (regardless of your attempt to prove otherwise) if it is simply an extension of a sexual fetish.
You may see this as just another type of swinging - I see it as grossly immoral.
And you know what - I am entitled to my opinion about it.
As is everyone else who you quoted in your post.
