Thanks for sharing that. I wonder though, in light of this, what the difference is between a poly relationship and a swinging relationship with a couple you care deeply for. Perhaps they're just different points on the same continuum?

If someone's addressed this in this thread or another already, my apologies ~ I'm sleepy
