We call it "poly-lite." We know many swinger couples that start swinging with just one other couple or a single (in fact Mrs. WS has expressed that with her current single male she is not interested in entertaining other single males at this time). They will never admit to being poly, but obviously there is a connection there beyond just recreational sex or they wouldn't be exclusive with them. But, they may not be fully immersed in a loving, poly-like relationship, just on the fringe of one. Thus, poly-lite.
