Re: Open Marriage vs Swinging? Open marriage vs. swinging? In one case you could say that 2 + 2 = 5 if both partners have the freedom to seek and enjoy others that may turn out to the couple's friends and play partners together and separate. If it's couples or nothing, I think it less likely for getting 4 people to agree on the potential partners. Therefore it's a limiting factor. To be fair, couples enjoying the lifestyle together will enjoy more collective success than single individuals. There is one superior benefit to couples, both of whom are genuine swingers... each will be pleased and happy that the partner finds pleasure, joy, and fulfillment in a shared and participating experience. That doesn't happen with singles, open marriage or just singles. I'm in the 60 plus range and my opinion comes from observation over the years. |
