I'd say that some people discover poly by learning about poly relationship theories, but many also discover it by falling into some sort of emotional connection with another person. Now, swinging is not the only situation where falling into poly occurs. Sometimes people have an affair and then later want to be honest with their partner, so they consider poly. Other times people just form an emotional connection with someone involved in their life. Sex does not have to occur in order for someone to wonder about feeling emotionally connected to more than one person at the same time.
