What is normal, anyway? According to Dictionary.com:

nor·mal Pronunciation[nawr-muhl]
–adjective
1. conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.
2. serving to establish a standard.

Hmmm . . . We, as swingers, really aren't a "standard or common type". Even within the lifestlye, there are so many variations. Mr. Sweet's and my variation seems pretty natural to us, though.

As for establishing a standard, we attempt to do that with our various terminologies ("soft swing", "full swing", vanilla, etc.), but often fall short because each term is still relatively subjective.

So where does that leave us? Still in that 25%, if the statistics are accurate . . .

=)
